Ohio-Toledo

Reception locations that allow outside catering

Anyone have any ideas for me?  My fiance's brother is a chef and will kill us if he can't cook for our wedding!  We are looking for something that's not super formal and thought we had a site but I think its going to fall through.  Looking in Findlay, BG, PBurg, Toledo, or Tiffin.... Help???

    Here's a thread from not too far back that may give you some ideas.  It would be helpful if we knew how many people you are planning to invite.

    Out of curiousity, what's the deal with your current place?  On the bright side, if your listed wedding date is correct, you still have plenty of time!

    Thanks!  We want to have something a little more informal... more like a backyard BBQ, but I want weather cover, and that is proving to be difficult!  I found a park with a large building that will seat 300 picnic style, but they aren't sure that they want to rent it for a reception... even though we are not serving kegs, they are worried about alcohol and good behavior :)

    Looking to invite about 250, expect about 200 to come.

    Oh, and no the date isn't right but I haven't changed it yet because we haven't completely decided!  Probably will do an early fall or late spring wedding.

    I just booked at Greystone Hall in Perrysburg. I am using my own caterer and they charged me $1.50 per person and a security deposit for using the kitchen.

    We are using the lodge at strawberry acres, so I second that idea. They allow outside catering and alcohol.
