Shangri-La Event Center

Garrettsville, OH
  • Up to 300 guests

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

Venue considerations

  • Best for events with big guest lists
  • No all-inclusive dining options
  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic
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!!

I don’t even have the words to say how perfect our wedding was at sun valley!! All the employees were so helpful and communicative leading up to our day. Hallie ended up being our month of coordinator and she was PHENOMENAL. I mean it, if you have the funds, hire a coordinator!!! But the grounds were beautiful, my guests were blown away, the size was perfect for my 115 guests, but could accommodate way more if needed. Book this venue!!

We literally had the wedding of our dreams at Sugar Lake, and I never thought it would have been possible. My vision came to life because of Nadine and her team with Jess and Cailin. Cailin took amazing care of our dogs for the day and it was amazing we could have them there and incorporated in the ceremony. I want to relive my wedding day over and over, and we got so many compliments about the venue and how smooth everything went. Truly the best wedding ever

The lodge it self is also incredible, from the amount of space to all of the entertainment in the game room to keep the little ones occupied. Sharyn and her crew were incredible to work with and made sure that everything was perfect before we arrived. Having an all inclusive location was a huge deal for us and the lodge provided everything we dreamt of!

Livia was an absolute DREAM to work with. She was very tentative to our vision, and the entire process from beginning to finish was amazing. The team at Orchard Hills made our vision come to life and everything was so intimate and cozy! Livia was by my side from day one and even played violin for the ceremony. The ceremony was supposed to be outside and it called for rain (and boy did it rain lol!) Livia set up the outside just incase there was a chance it could've been outside. To me that was her going above and beyond. The whole day was a dream come true. If you book your wedding or event here you will not regret it!

We held my daughters wedding at Pinstripes 10/21/2023. She was looking for something different & this fit the bill. The outdoor space is awesome. Unfortunately we couldn't use it due to Cleveland weather, but we had the ceremony in the banquet room & then during cocktail hour Pinstripes moved everything back to a banquet room easily. The food was very good & the staff very attentive. Our sales manager Lucy did a fabulous job as we were planning the wedding answering all my daughters questions & the day of the wedding she oversaw everything to make the day perfect. So many of our guests said this was the most fun they had at a wedding. Great Venue!
