Hamilton County Park District

We had our ceremony at the Wedding Setting in the Withrow Nature Preserve. It couldn't have been more beautiful! It was perfect for a small ceremony (70 people). The volunteers were so great and helped with everything we needed. Having a house in which to get ready was a great benefit. Perfect for people who want an outdoor wedding.

The best part about having your wedding at the lakeside lodge,(in Sharon Woods) is the lodge. if you didn't have to participate in their ridiculous lottery to get the place.(all the people you know have to call in from 8-815 one year in advance and vote for you) Or talk to the rude woman who is in charge of setting up the room, you're golden. Because really the place is WONDERFUL, the price was right on, and you get the location from 10am till midnight, which is really really amazing. Plus you are able to bring in all of your own vendors, and I was a BIG fan of my vendors. :)

I would highly recommend using any of the banquet centers for your event. I had my wedding reception at Stonewood Lodge in Sharon Woods, Cincinnati Ohio. The week of the wedding a storm caused most businesses and homes in the area to lose power for a week. The manager contacted me right away to let me know the circumstances. She tracked down two generators and cooked the food at another catering facility so that our reception could go on with out a hitch. Most of our guests did not realize the power was even out. The food was delicious and it turned out to be an amazing night. The staff worked very hard to in the midst of chaos to pull my wedding reception together. I would highly recommend the venue.

A beautiful outdoor setting in Anderson, Ohio. A great value for the cost. You get six hours for approximately $100 an hour. Four volunteers are available during the event to answer questions. It's incredible. You can even get catering through the Park System!

Very helpful planning the event and helping us decide which facility to use. Let us change our options right up to a few weeks before the event. They offer a full range of facilities from catered to just giving you the location and you can bring in your own vendors for everything.
