Nazareth Hall 

5.0

  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Nazareth Hall is known throughout the region as a banquet and wedding facility, but it’s the rich history and lush setting that draws people here. Built in 1927 as an all-boy Catholic boarding school. It eventually evolved into a renowned military school for boys. Throughout its history the school stayed true to its Catholic roots and the nuns who served and taught here. Operating until 1982 the stories written within its walls are still told today. Re-emerging with a new mission and purpose in April of 1991, Nazareth Hall was reborn. It is in this picturesque place, reminiscent of castles of old, that brides come to be married and celebrate with family and friends in grand ballrooms. The classrooms and meeting spaces offer the perfect vintage background for business training sessions, and the manicured lawns have been host to numerous parties and festivities.

When we were looking for a venue, I immediately fell in love with the look and feel of Nazareth Hall. It is a beautiful place that allows for so much diversity in decor/theme. Not only was Nazareth beautiful, but the staff was absolutely wonderful! They worked with us to ensure that we had exactly what we wanted on our wedding day. There was never a time that I felt stressed during our wedding planning because our coordinator at Nazareth helped us through each step! She always ensured that we had specific things booked by certain times in our planning. The amazing staff didn’t end with our wedding planner/coordinator, the waitstaff and day of coordinator were also amazing! I never felt like I was forced to pay for things we didn’t need and the food was amazing! Nazareth Hall is 1000% the best wedding venue in the area! We have had nothing but positive experiences here!

The Barn at Honey Blossom Orchard 

3.0

Napoleon, OH
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,995

The Barn at Honey Blossom Orchard is over 100 years old and is comprised of hand hewn beams throughout. It is very rustic but has many modern conveniences. It is the perfect backdrop for your perfect day and we are excited to share it with you and your loved ones.

One day last July I saw online that The Barn had a cancellation and a wedding date in September. I reached out to inquire and Laura was SO kind, helpful and prompt with communication. We loved the venue and booked, sent out invitations and planned our wedding super quickly (after 10 years together.) Every step of the way went smoothly with planning and communication and we absolutely LOVED having our wedding there. We had room for a live band, there was plenty of parking, lots of great places for photo ops on the property, a lovely bridal room to get ready in, a silo gazebo, we could choose our own caterer, there plenty of seating (we loved the church pews and the wooden chairs,) and there were just so many other nice touches. We bought small glass jars which they filled with their honey (for a reasonable fee) and we gave our guests Honey Blossom Orchard honey as the wedding reception favor. (Btw-their honey IS absolutely delicious!) We can’t say enough good about The Barn as a wedding/reception venue and if you are looking for somewhere relaxed, rustic and beautiful to have your wedding, this is your place:)

We had our baby shower here and everything turned out amazing! Tim and Barb are easy to work with and very accommodating from start to finish. The space is beautiful and such a fun atmosphere. I highly recommend this place for any event you might have.

Veterans Memorial Civic & Convention Center 

5.0

Lima, OH
  • Up to 1000 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $1,500

The Veterans Memorial Civic & Convention Center is a wedding venue in the heart of downtown Lima, OH. It is the largest, most versatile venue in the region. Wedding packages start at $1,500. Enjoy a seamless wedding day by hosting it all in one place! The Civic Center has multiple spaces to hold a ceremony & reception, an attached parking garage, and a hotel for you and your guests.

Though I'm not a bride/couple that has utilized the Civic Center as a venue, I can offer a different perspective on the space. I'm a videographer, and frequently film at the Lima Civic Center. The team there has always been very professional and treated me with courtesy. They've helped out when needed (like when a counterpart needed a quiet place to deal with a medical issue). They make me feel like I'm part of their team when I'm there. I've seen how they interact with wedding patrons and families, and I would not hesitate to recommend the Civic Center to couples. I also think it's very neat and convenient to have the hotel attached. I've seen weddings in several different spaces within the building, including the main convention hall, the theater, and the lobby with tremendous natural light. In short, as a vendor I've been very pleased with my experiences at the Lima Civic Center. I frequently encourage my friends and family to inquire with the venue about having their wedding celebrations there.

Purdue Fort Wayne International Ballroom 

5.0

Fort Wayne, IN
  • Up to 350 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,200

Purdue Fort Wayne offers a variety of spaces for any number of events, large or small. Our ballrooms are the perfect location for weddings, conferences, etc. We have ample parking near our venues as well as being right next door to a large hotel.

PFW is one of our favorite venues to provide services for. The loading area is level and goes right into the kitchen. They have 2 refridgerators and 2 ice machines available at no cost to vendors which provides a lower quote cost to the clients. Accessability is usually noon the day of the event in most cases. Parking is close and plentiful. They have plenty of Audio Visual options for your event. The only cons are some alcohol restrictions (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), and if you have to adjust any event times last minute.

We had our ceremony and reception at the Barn in September 2020. In the midst of what was a very trying time with everything going on in the world, we were happy to have such a reliable venue and a good line of communication with Minette. Whenever we needed anything, she was there! Also, the venue itself is lovely, we got so many compliments from guests. The on site bridal suite is the perfect place to get ready and is so convenient to have. Overall; this is a gorgeous venue and a true hidden gem future couples should definitely consider!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding and reception at Black Creek Ridge Flower Farm. Everything turned out great. The owners are very personable and easy to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. They have connections with the local vendors. That put our mind at ease knowing that they’ve worked together before and everything would run smoothly. The carriage house, on site, made it convenient and easy for me and my girls to get ready in before the ceremony. The property is beautiful. I had about 80 guests and it felt like any more than that would have been too crowded. We so are glad we chose the flower farm!!

Growing up at FWCC, I had always dreamed of my wedding being held there. Jacqueline was able to help make all my wedding wishes come true for our big day! The venue was picture perfect (as always), and the amenities for all of our guests to use day-of were spotless! The food was also fantastic - We had multiple guests comment on how fantastic their dinners were, especially since wedding dinners are usually cold and generic. Our vendors were all so excited to be able to come together in one of their favorite venues in town, and it made for a perfect day. I couldn't recommend FWCC more highly for any couple looking to host their wedding in a timeless setting!
