50 Riffel Road
Wooster, OH 44691

Had our reception at Greenbriar back when it was called Black Tie Affair. Place used to be nice...not so much anymore from what I've gathered.
Been impressed with functions/receptions at Memories and The Pines. Can't go wrong at either, IMO. Pines offers some better options for pictures since it's on a golf course and Memories is next to a Mattress Store...lol.
Been to one at Genesis, nice place, but nothing real memorable. Shisler seems a little to business-y for me. Perfect place for a seminar, maybe not a wedding reception. Could be wrong though.
I'd start with Pines/Memories and check available dates & go from there. Guessing Memories might be a little easier on the wallet, but that really depends on the options you choose.
Make sure to cross reference the open dates with any important sporting events.

the Pines would be my first choice. I like Greenbriar too. I have never had a bad experience either place. I, like RR1, think Shisler is more of a business seminar place. I am not a fan of Memories at all. I have attended functions there numerous times, and the food was horribly bland at each event. The galaxy has great food, but it is a nice little drive for your guests. I have no experience at Genesis, but it is near Creston...nuff said.

The Galaxy would be a 1-hour drive, but for most my friends (from Akron) and all her family (from Conneaut), it'd be 1 hour in the exact right direction for them to return home. If that wasn't the case, it'd be off the table. Plus it came highly recommended.THE4RINGZ;1134534 wrote:The galaxy has great food, but it is a nice little drive for your guests.

I have been to weddings at all of the ones listed except the Galaxy. I would recommend Shisler (or Quailcrest) more for the good photo ops on campus and what’s left of the arboretum. Also you get to pick your caterer. Links to two you missed.

We get it, you are getting married.
Should we expect a limo thread next? Or maybe a honeymoon destination thread?

Probably a "help my wife is a bitch and I made a huge mistake" thread.

Haha. Nah. We have a good grasp on honeymoon locations. Haha! If I post another thread, it'd probably be asking for photographer recommendations or something like that. One factor in choosing a wedding location (her home church or the one we attend currently) is how many/what quality reception halls are in the wedding location's vacinity... so I wanted to make sure I didn't miss any, thus this thread was created.like_that;1134577 wrote:We get it, you are getting married.

We decided tonight that we are getting married in my/our Wooster area, and not in her hometown. So this reception venue search is indeed on!

Will the chicken dance be part of the reception?

We had our reception at The Pines. I got very drunk. I also had the sex after.
Hope this helps.

I see some inaccuracies in your story.
Very drunk = no sex.

The golf course off I-71 in Bellville is a great place for receptions. If you pick a place in Wooster, I know a great caterer.
