Nazareth Hall 

5.0

Grand Rapids, OH
  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $8,000

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!

In 2018, we reopened the restored space The Madison. We quickly gained acclaim from the area’s top event planners, community collaborators, and even local professional athletes. As Northeast Ohio’s premier event venue, our mission is to cultivate human connection and life’s treasured moments. You’ll find it effortless to work with us and within the space so you can focus more on your goals – and your guests.

When researching venues to have our wedding we kept coming back to this one and got married here in October. We loved the outdoor ceremony space, which was absolutely stunning with all of the fall colors. We loved the reception space for its spaciousness and what we could do with it, it was the perfect space for a fun filled reception. From the beginning everyone we worked with was very helpful and always thorough when answering any questions we had throughout the planning process. We had SO many guests from our wedding compliment our venue we chose and everyone asked where we found it! It was the perfect place for our wedding and couldn't have been more beautiful. We are so thankful for our experience with this venue.

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!

I had a fantastic experience working with the Meeker’s Venue team. They were willing to accommodate my requests for things like a slideshow in place of a father daughter dance, or having my friend play the music for our first dance live. We used their decor, and they had a great selection for the simple, green and brass theme I was looking for. They were friendly, timely, didn’t bother us with anything the night of and made sure to go through our family and friends instead. The venue itself, a beautiful brick church, is so cute and provided a great backdrop for all of our photos. We easily fit our wedding of around 130 people in the space. And their price fit well into our budget. I had a great time in the meetings leading up to our wedding, and an awesome party the day of. Highly recommend.

Whitehall was the perfect choice for our wedding! I was apprehensive about having a big wedding at all and was perfectly content with eloping or going to a courthouse, but ultimately decided to have a wedding for our families and the memories. Julia at Whitehall made this entire experience such a dream for my now-husband and I. She’s the venue coordinator but is also an angel that every bride deserves in the months leading up to her wedding and on her wedding day. She answered every stupid question I had very quickly, and is on top of things with sending emails to remind you about scheduling your rehearsal, nailing down your timelines, etc. One of the best parts about this venue is that you drop all of your decor off on the Tuesday before your wedding and they set everything up for you throughout the week! I literally didn’t have to think about a thing and could just spend the days before relaxing and tying up loose ends! We didn’t even nail down our vision for the centerpieces and most of the decor until 10-14 days before the ceremony, but Julia absolutely nailed it and everything was so beautiful! The day of the wedding, her assistant, Brenda, checked in on us while we got ready to make sure we were doing okay and she was the sweetest and just as organized and on top of it as Julia was. Before, during and after the ceremony, as well as during the reception, Julia checked in with my husband and I so many times to make sure we were okay and got us drinks if we needed it. She took so much off my plate mentally the week of my wedding and that was just so special and I appreciated it in ways I don’t know how to explain in 3500 characters or less. This venue has a caterer that comes with it (Taste of Excellence) who were also great to work with, and not having to make that decision was insanely helpful. I mostly dealt with Mikaela and she was very helpful with all of my questions and even accommodated us to schedule a second food tasting (something I don’t think they normally do) because my parents wanted to completely change the food options after the first tasting lol. Whitehall also has a DJ company included (Selective Sound Entertainment) who were great as well! Their online portal to actually select your song requests is a little dated and, you only get 8 “must play” songs, and the rest are more like suggestions for the DJ during the party but to be honest our DJ Jordan kept it bumping all night and it was SO fun he even had the bartender dancing with us from her station! I really couldn’t imagine doing our wedding anywhere else. I can’t recommend it enough and I’ll scream it into the sky for anyone who will listen!

We were extremely happy with our wedding at Oak Grove! The venue is gorgeous for photos and set up perfectly for a seamless flow throughout the evening. The greenhouse was intimate and unique for the ceremony and the reception is stunning as well. Our wedding coordinator, Sydney, was phenomenal to work with and was great about working with our vendors to ensure our night was seamless! All other Jorgensen vendors (catering, florals, etc.) were responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. Many of our guests stated that the food was the best wedding food they have ever tasted and our florals were beautiful and set up exactly as we discussed. Sydney, the servers, bartenders, and all other event staff did a fantastic job of hosting our guests and bringing our wedding vision to fruition. We had a great experience at the Oak Grove venue and are grateful to have worked with such a kind and hard working team!

Rivercrest farm was hands down the best vendor we booked for our wedding! Not only is the farm absolutely gorgeous (looks straight out of a magazine) but the team at Rivercrest Farm is top notch! Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how beautiful the barn was. We Highly recommend hiring Alex as a day of coordinator. “Day of” doesn’t describe the work she does! Alex set up meeting & sent emails to my other vendors allowing me to relax! Her communication skills are amazing & she is dedicated to making your day perfect! The barn was decorated by the time my bridal party got to the venue to get ready. I had made faux floral arrangements and Alex went out of her way to add some real flowers from our florist to make my table arrangements look more realistic! Another example of how “on it” she is- we did private vows on their hilltop at sunset, both my fiancé and I realized we had forgotten our vow books back at the barn. Alex already grabbed them and had them in her car! What a relief it was to know she had them. I cannot recommend Alex and Rivercrest Farm enough! I promise it will be the best wedding decision you make!

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!!

From the moment we visited Buss Farms, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. The venue is absolutely stunning and everything we wanted. What truly makes it special are the owners, Stephanie and Matt. They are the kindest people we’ve ever met and made us feel like family from the very beginning. You can truly feel how much they love and care for each of their couples. One of the most memorable moments of our day was having Stephanie and Matt stand with me and open the barn doors into the ceremony. It was such a meaningful and emotional moment that I’ll never forget. Their presence throughout the day made everything feel so personal and heartfelt. It’s also amazing to see their kids around the farm, helping and being part of it all—it really adds to the family-run feel and makes the whole experience so warm and genuine. They can be as involved or not as involved as you'd like, but their love and care are always there. Stephanie helped me immensely when it came to planning and providing resources for different companies. Stephanie and Matt made the planning process smooth and stress-free. They were responsive, supportive, and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Buss Farms isn’t just a beautiful venue—it’s a place filled with heart and so much faith. We’re so thankful we chose them on our big day!

Mica and the whole staff at The Windamere really made our wedding better than we could’ve imagined. From the beginning, Mica was very straightforward and honest. All of her pricing was transparent and she was thorough with us. The venue offered the history and charm we were looking for at a decent price and Mica gave us the peace of mind by being our day of coordinator. I loved that we were all able to get ready on site and never saw each other until our first look. We also enjoyed that she has a secluded vip area for us right after the ceremony so we could take a few minutes to breathe before the reception. She helped through the decor process and was very timely with communication, especially as we were planning from 500 miles away. We are so grateful for her and her team.

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options

We absolutely loved our wedding venue at both the Chapel and Hotel for Grand Pacific Junction. The two venue coordinators, Jessica and Erinn, were very knowledgeable and helped keep the event running smoothly. They went above and beyond with various scheduling and logistic challenges among our vendors. The space in the hotel itself was beautiful and required very little decorations to bring it to life. There were two restrooms downstairs and one upstairs. For our 100ish person wedding, I was worried bathrooms would be a logistic issue, but it was not! The bar was our favorite part of the venue with its vintage style and wide layout, so bar lines were never a problem. Every one of their recommended vendors exceeded our expectations. If I were to give advice to another couple looking to book Grand Pacific Junction, my only suggestion is keep in mind you likely won't have access earlier than the contracted time period, so adjust accordingly and keep your decorations simple, or better yet hire or appoint someone to do them! Decorations took longer than expected, and it altered the photography timeline which wasn't a big deal, but do keep it in mind. Thanks again to Jessica and Erinn for keeping everything running smoothly in the background and making sure my husband and I were truly hands off and enjoying ourselves the entire evening.

Darby House was a beautiful property to host our wedding. While their communication style was a bit slow, with emails typically taking 3-5 days to respond, the venue itself was perfect. My wedding coordinator, who was different than originally planned, was absolutely fantastic and made everything smooth and enjoyable. I never had to worry about a thing on our wedding day. The only downside was that I accidentally left a locket of my deceased brother on my bouquet at the venue, and when I emailed both my original coordinator and the florist provided by Darby House, I did not receive a response. Overall, though, Darby House provided a wonderful backdrop for our special day.

The first thing we knew we wanted out of a venue was a small size - we didn't want more than 60 people in attendance. We picked this location initially with the guest count being are only criteria, but we were almost immediately surprised by so much more. The view, the gorgeous interiors, and the rich history were all things that finally led us to choose this as our venue for our wedding. But, above all else, was the venue owner - Roger Swonger. He went above and beyond to make our day as special as it possibly could be, and with his help, our wedding day went absolutely perfect. With just one planning session, and a couple of tours, Roger was able to guide us through the perfect day. He communicated well with all of the vendors, was able to provide an amazing wait staff, and bartender, and even thought of the small details - placing some flowers on our small wedding cake, putting a pen by the guest book, etc. Most importantly to us, as a now husband and husband duo, was finding a venue that was accepting. This was Roger to a tee - not only did he treat us with kindness, he guided us towards other LGBTQ friendly vendors as well. With his support and guidance, we had a wedding that completely surpassed our exceptions of what a wedding could ever look like in an area like Kentucky. I don't think there is any universe where we could have had a better wedding, and this is all thanks to Roger, and all thanks to having our wedding ceremony at Wiedemann Hill Mansion.
