Venues that will allows us to bring in our own catering?

Hello!
My FI and I are looking for a venue in the Toledo area that will allow us to bring in our own caterer and alcohol. My parents have a restaurant and catering business so we plan on saving money that way. So far,  I have heard of the Franciscan Center but there may be date conflicts with us and that venue.

Any ideas? We would like to get married next Fall (2011).
Thanks!

    I am using the Wildwood Ward Pavillon at Wildwood Metropark. I dont know how many people your planning -- its a smaller venue only about 125-150 ppl. I like it tho bc it forced me to cut down the guest list.

    How many people are you inviting?  That would help us make suggestions.  The Monclova Community Center has a nice room/kitchen that you could look into.  This is a little bigger than the Ward Pavilion.  I think this place could comfortably seat about 150.

    I'm pretty sure that the Stranahan will allow you to bring in outside catering but not outside alcohol. 

    I believe that both the Franciscan Center and the Sullivan Center (at Gesu) allow outside caterers, but only from approved lists.  I do believe that the Franciscan requires in-house alcohol, but I think the Sullivan allows outside.  Sullivan does require that you carry liability insurance and charges a 10% surcharge IIRC.

    In addition to the others already mentioned, you may want to try looking into St. Clement's, Nederhouser Hall at Olander Park, Space 237, or the Valentine Theater.

    Thank you for all the suggestions. We will probably be having 200-225 guests, so that will eliminate some venues. I will be checking into all your suggestions.

    Thanks again! :)

    St. George in Rossford can accomodate up to 250 people!    I just went to a wedding there in June and it was gorgeous!
