Outdoor wedding venue suggestions

KM10KM10
in Ohio-Cleveland
I'm so completely new to this and so completely lost... I need help!  We are looking for an outdoor location to hold a small (50-75 people) somewhat casual wedding, ceremony and reception, either in the Cleveland, OH area or up state NY area.  If NY area, it would need to be somewhat close to an airport (within 1-2 hours drive).

I don't want it too casual but I definitely don't want anything elegant or fancy.  I'd like trees and/or water and possibly a barn or similar for the reception.  Any suggestions??

    Conrad Botzum Farmstead is a great little wedding/reception spot in Bath, just south of Cleveland. Also, Hale Farm, in the same area, may work for you. For somewhere closer to Cleveland, maybe the Chalet in Strongsville (part of the Cleveland Metroparks) would be good. Sweetwater Landing in Rocky River, another Metroparks venue, does receptions for small guest lists (under 100), as does the Terrace at Big Met Grille (indoor/outdoor kind of space -- also in RR).

    Mapleside Farm in Brunswick can do a tented reception on their orchard grounds. Actually, Orchard Hills Party Center in Chesterland (east side) can do that as well. OHPC is owned by the Pattersons Fruit Farm family.

    Oh, and the Lake Erie Nature & Science Center in Bay Village would be something different. You can even bring your own caterer and BYOB.

    You might also add some of the area wineries to your list. Sarah's Vineyard Winery in Cuyahoga Falls (right by Blossom music ctr) is a great location for a small wedding. Thorncreek Winery in Aurora does weddings, too, and they have beautiful grounds as well as a cute patio. On the east side of Cleve, I believe Ferrante and Harpersfield can also do weddings?

    Try the Metroparks.  They have enclosed buildings that you can rent for a very low price and you can have the ceremony outside of the building.  I am using the North Chagrin Reservation River Grove Shelter.  It is in Mayfleld, OH.

     Club Hillbrook (about 35 minutes east of the airport) is absolutly beautfiul and would be perfect for a 50-75 person wedding. My fiance and I looked there but unfortunatly it would be a bit tight for our 200+ guest list.
