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.

Nazareth Hall was an amazing choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we first reached out, they answered all of our questions promptly and were a pleasure to work with. On the day of our wedding, the staff ensured that every single need was met, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day. Nazareth Hall provided the best value of any venue we considered, and we are so grateful for the role they played in making our wedding day perfect. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

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.

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!

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:)

Venue considerations

  • Requires outside catering services
  • Does not allow pets
  • Best for events with big guest lists
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.

I was excited to be their first bride and break in the new and upcoming wedding venue. They faced a heck of a challenge in getting the materials they needed for projects around the building due to COVID and worked long days to get it done in time. Ashley and Amanda were so kind and helpful through the entire process. Everything went smooth and I had the perfect day.
