Hi everyone!
I am newly engaged as of last week and I'm beginning my reception. I have no idea where to start, I'm the first of my friends and an only child so I'm starting from scratch! I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on reception sites. My fiance is from Mentor(east side) and I'm from Avon Lake (west side) and we're trying to find a place in the middle that might also work with hotels so people don't have to drive too far. Guest wise we're thinking over 200 and working with an average budget. Help?

    Congratulations!  I checked out Embassy Suites downtown and really liked it.  They were very helpful, and the rooms were nice!  They also have an outdoor terrace.  Really anything downtown is a good halfway point.

    Congrats & good luck w/ planning! All of the downtown locations have decent hotel access, but with convenience often comes a higher price. You're looking at prices that start around $60/pp which may or may not include alcohol, depending on the venue. Suburban locations can cut the pp cost in half.

    Some downtown area venues to check out: Atrium on the Square (BP Building), Sammy's Metropolitan ballroom, Windows on the River, Hyatt Regency Arcade, Cleveland Botanical Garden, Browns stadium, Crawford Auto/Aviation museum.

    If you decide you want something more on the outskirts of downtown, I can make more suggestions.

    We are having our reception at the Embassy Suites in Independence.  It is right at 77 and 480.  It is easily accessible from both highways.  I know it is a bit off of 90 but there are many hotels over there.  Also, we checked out the Marriott at W. 150th and 71.  It was very nice as well.  That may be a good mid way point if you are considering a reception at a hotel.  It is more affordable than going downtown.

    Congrats! How exciting for you both.  I am in the same situation.  We originally had decided downtown, until we saw the prices.  We are having our reception at the airport mariott.  Its right on 71 close to downtown.  I know it sounds cheesy since its referred to as the airport mariott but its really nice.  The entire hotel was just remolded and its so pretty.  It is pretty decent priced too.  We are paying $70 a head and are serving filet and halibut.  If you go to their website you can see the entire menu.  Also they will block off rooms for you for $99.  The rooms are really pretty too.  None of the fugly comforters there! I hope this helps.  If you need more info the girls there, sonjya and michelle, are great.  Good luck!!!!
