Shangri-La Event Center 

5.0

Garrettsville, OH
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor

Imagine this: You step onto plush grass that feels cool to the touch under your bare feet. The wind is blowing gently off what appears to be an endless body of water that stretches to the horizon. You walk past the white, sandy beach where a bon fire is burning and hear laughter as friends share drinks and stories. The twinkling lights, music, and dancing beckons you towards a tiki bar where a bartender is serving up fizzy drinks and fun cocktails. You stop. You soak in this moment. You smile as you run towards the dance floor and realize: this is my wedding day.

Tropical Paradise in Geauga County! I kept telling my husband when we were looking into venues, "I want somewhere close to the water that's peaceful and I want it to feel like paradise, but I want to get married not too far from home". Most of our family is from the area, so we wanted somewhere that we didn't have to travel super far either. I had been looking for DAYS and everything was either way too far, way too expensive, ehhh, or just not at all what I was thinking. My husband hopped on Google, and said "Hey, how about this place called Shangri-La?" I looked at the pictures and I was like "Where is this place?!" He said "5 minutes from us". I could NOT believe it! It was GORGEOUS! The pictures are amazing but don't do it justice. I immediately reached out to Pam and Rod who own Shangri-La with interest. They said we could come and look at it that day if we wanted! My husband and I went and fell in LOVE! So so beautiful, and they have clearly spared no expense on making it so elegant, beautiful, convenient, affordable, and just magical. They were so amazing to work with. I knew when we parked and walked down the walkway even only seeing a small area of the location that was it. That was the place we were meant to be married at. Pam and Rod were so unbelievably amazing to work with. So caring, so organized, so attentive. They even offered us to set off fireworks at the end of our wedding (we got married on the 4th of July). It was truly the best day of our lives. I didn't worry about a thing, everything went smoothly, and they were just so great to work with! I will absolutely be returning to Shangri-La in the future as they can accommodate you for any kind of gathering you have in mind! They even went the extra mile; I was in a very bad car accident about 2 weeks after my husband and I got back from our honeymoon. I was in the hospital for a days and had broken my neck and had surgery on my knee that left me re-teaching myself to walk. Somehow, Pam and Rod had found out that I was in a car accident, and they stopped over at our house with the sweetest care package and card. It truly made me cry. They are such sweet and wonderful people. And we had such an amazing visit. Pam and Rod are just such unbelievably genuine people. You just feel like you're "home" when you're at Shangri-La. I cannot say enough about Shangri-La and Pam and Rod <3

Basil Place 

5.0

Chardon, OH
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Basil Place is a farm and wedding venue on a private, 100 acre estate. We prioritizes sustainability, permaculture, and ethical treatment to not only our farm animals, but all animals residing on our property.

I cannot begin to describe how happy we are that we booked Basil Place for our wedding. I planned our Cleveland wedding from out-of-state, and Michelle from the get-go was so flexible in setting up tours for my family and fiancé when we got into town. First, I'll speak about the venue itself: it is absolutely the most beautiful place I've ever seen. The whole farm is surrounded by beautiful nature, trees, and ponds, and rolling pastures. We were able to have a beautiful outdoor ceremony, get ready in the carriage house, and use the manor house for pictures, hanging out, and pre-wedding snacks. Our reception was in the barn, which is so gorgeous and opens up onto a patio with views of rolling fields and reflecting ponds (which are stocked with bass if you feel like fishing like some of our guests did!) There was so much space for our reception we were able to set up cornhole and spikeball outside the barn which made for such a fun evening. Our guest loved taking pictures all around the property. I cannot say enough good things about how perfect this venue was for our wedding! I also have to mention how absolutely wonderful and above and beyond Michelle and her staff were throughout every step of the wedding process. Michelle truly feels like family to us. She made the process so easy and was so accommodating to all of our requests. She checked on us so many times leading up to and the day of the wedding- we truly felt so taken care of It is so apparent that this is not just a business to her, but truly her passion. Their preferred caterer, A Taste Of Excellence, was hands-down the best experience with a caterer we've ever had. Mikaela was so kind and flexible, and the food was absolutely to die for we were so impressed with them that we had them cater our welcome dinner as well. They do so many weddings at basil place that they are very familiar with set up and where to go, which makes for that much smoother of a day. All the catering staff were so kind and friendly and added to the positive atmosphere. In summary, if we could go back in time, we would choose Basil Place 100 times over!!

My husband I got married at Sun Valley on 10/14/22, and I would highly, highly recommend this venue!! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, the inside was clean and spacious, and all of their staff is wonderful! I felt like everyone I interacted with during the planning process as well as the rehearsal and day of truly cared about making our day perfect. We received many compliments from our friends and family about how beautiful the venue is both inside and outside. I worked with Jennifer throughout the planning process, and she was not only so incredibly sweet and helpful, but she was also super quick at responding to emails and any questions I had whether big or small. Halle and Kendall were both SO sweet and helpful, and the bartender, Bobby (who I believe works for the venue) was absolutely wonderful! I would definitely recommend Sun Valley to any couple looking for a beautiful venue, especially if they want an outdoor ceremony in the fall! Thank you to everyone at Sun Valley for making our wedding day so special and for truly caring about your couples!

Sugar Lake Lodge 

5.0

Painesville, OH
  • Up to 150 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $16,000

Sugar Lake Lodge is a 135 acre estate with a seven acre private lake surrounded by Lake County Metro Parks. It features a gorgeous 6,700 square foot lodge & event center with an 1,800 square ft. private suite fully equipped with kitchen, fire place, and elegant bathroom all with a slight rustic feel. There is also a steam room for guests to unwind and enjoy. In addition, there is a lakefront event center with dual inside and outside fireplaces, and accommodations. For a more remote and primitive experience, there are secluded cabins complete with bathrooms and a pavilion with cooking grills sinks and fire pits amidst beautiful hiking and horseback riding trails.

I don't even know if I can explain enough how wonderful everything was about our experience with Sugar Lake Lodge. Nadine and Steve were fantastic to work with. Steve was our officiant and Nadine was was our planner and they both get 5/5 stars. Of all the searching we did for a venue and to think we ALMOST went with a different one. I found Sugar Lake Lodge and at the last minute before booking I decided to just see it for the heck of it. All we had to do was pull in the drive before we got to the Lodge for our meeting and we KNEW this was the place for us. We had a personal hiccup and postponed our wedding and Steve was sooo understanding and even offered services if we needed anything. Steve was our Officiant and I couldn't have asked for a better one. Our ceremony was a little different but he was terrific. I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money to have a wedding coordinator but I'm so glad I did. Nadine was fabulous and had suggestions that were perfect. At one point close to the wedding day I was having an issue with the person that was to do my flowers and Nadine was ready to dig in and see if she could help. Heidi was on top of everything the day of and was very attentive. She even made sure that my Husbands elderly father didn't need anything throughout the day. She set everything up and was perfect. We had gotten LOTS of compliments from how beautiful the venue was to how Heidi was made everything run smoothly. We wanted to get married by the big tree at the lake but the weather wasn't cooperating. Steve made sure that when there was a break in the weather he got us out to get the pictures we were hoping to get outside. I didn't catch her name but the bartender was absolutely amazing as well. I cannot say enough about this venue. If you have ANY doubts, forget them. This place was more than what I wanted to spend but it was so worth it. Book your wedding with Sugar Lake Lodge!

Me and my, now husband, absolutely loved Patterson's before we even chose it for our venue. Once we were engaged, there was no other place for us to have our wedding! Working with Livia was one of the best experiences. She took care of us, answered all questions we had throughout the whole process, and was extremely accommodating to our needs. Livia and the rest of the staff were extremely passionate about what they do which made the day feel even more special. I seriously felt so blessed being able to work with them all! I would 1000% recommend Orchard Farms as a venue not only as it's a beautiful event site, but because Livia and her team are some of the best people to work with. They feel as if they are family working side by side to make our day as special and smooth as it can be. We love Patterson's!!

On the day of, Jeremy drove guests around in the golf cart, which was a huge help, and Melissa was available to address any concerns we had. The venue itself is gorgeous, with a beautiful lake and creek nearby. It was a great value for the price, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to create beautiful memories on our special day.
