This past Sunday I had my baby shower at the Orchid Room and it was perfect! The space is gorgeous…read moreand everyone raved about how beautiful the shower was. The shower started at 12pm and we were able to get into the room at 11am. We were scrambling to get everything done until the last minute but it all worked out. An hour and a half to set up might have been more ideal but that's okay, we had a lot of people helping. We were able to bring in our own food which was nice. They do no allow alcohol, fyi. Otherwise, I would have done mimosas or "mom-osas" for myself. ;) We also brought in our own linens. The room rental for 4 hours was $200 and that also allowed guests to check out the butterfly house that same day. There were not butterflies since it was January but we did see the parrot and a lot of cool plants. I would highly recommend this space to others. We had around 55 people at the shower and I would say you wouldn't want to have more than 60 guests to fit the space comfortably.

The entire park was clean, plants were in bloom and the cabin and fields were perfect. We walked through the woods a bit and it was just an awesome evening. The only negative is the giant sign of things not allowed. It did kind of take away from the beauty of the entire park. I understand there are rules and there shoukd be. But, maybe make the sign a bit smaller and further back? Anyway, beautiful park. Keep up the awesome work!

So where should you go when you have a special event and want great food, a helpful staff and a…read morebeautiful and unique setting? The answer is 100% The Clifton Barn. I planned my wedding in about a month and a half and The Clifton Barn pulled it off flawlessly. Comparatively to other venues, it's in the middle ground as far as pricing, however they do not charge a facility or staffing fee, (almost) everything is built in, so that's definitely a bonus. \ We had our wedding in late November, but a spring/summer/fall wedding can be held outdoors on their beautiful patio with a really cool fire pit. (we had our ceremony inside in front of the fire place and it was great) They have a really cool lounge loft that we did our first looks in and those pictures were my favorites. We had 60 for dinner, I'm sure you could go higher, but it was a very comfortable number for us especially since using the patio as part of the space wasn't really an option. The dinner was awesome, it is owned by the same owner as Strip next door, and I highly recommend the steak. It's also nice because Old Avon Village has two restaurants for rehearsal dinners and lots of parking and photography options.

Our guests had a great time. Jill recommended Brandon from Firelands Entertainment for the DJ. I would highly recommend using him. They work so well together and made our day stress free.

We were here for a softball tournament and didn't really have a choice of hotels. Of course, we…read morewere paying a premium, too. The one down side I'll hit upfront - parking. While parking was included in the hotel fee (YAY!), the garage was not attached and was a hike away. While I was able to park and unload (leaving my stuff unattended inside) before heading to the garage when checking in - I had to lug all my stuff to the garage when I was leaving. The hotel staff was polite in answering my question about the credit card I had used to swipe into the garage - and the pass they gave me to get out. Room was lovely and big. We are 2 double bed people. There were beds and also a sitting area. And the usual amenities - fridge, coffee maker, etc. Bathroom was clean and linens plush. TV was nice and swiveled to watch from around the room. Wifi was a bit challenging. Fitness room looked nice but didn't get to use it as it was a short stay for me. Breakfast was nice - one of the better options you'll see when included with the room. They actually checked you in the serving room as I guess all guests are not eligible for it. Location is nice - we walked to dinner across the street. And it's right off the freeway. This is in my old hometown but the area was undeveloped when I was growing up. If you're looking for a place to stay - highly recommend except for the parking issue.

This used to be the Irish Heritage Center but was bought by Ahern's and renovated. The top…read morepriorities for me when choosing a wedding reception site were: 1) convenient location for my guests, 2) classy, comfortable space, 3) really good food (it's really a glorified DINNER party, isn't it?!?), and 4) competent staff. Ahern's is all of these things and they made our reception this past February truly fantastic. Lucy is the no-nonesense, very capable manager. She essentially served as our personal party planner before and during the event and took care of everything, communicating with the other vendors (DJ, photographer, florist, etc.) and making sure the party continued to progress so we could just sit back and enjoy our guests. Aherns is their own caterer and can do either a sit-down meal or buffet (or cocktail reception) with almost endless entree options. We went with the buffet and an open bar so guests could enjoy as much or little as they wanted and it worked perfectly. I think we were pretty low key but did have a few special requests and they were professionally executed by the staff. There are two banquet halls of different sizes but they have separate entrances and bathrooms and a service hallway runs between them so you wouldn't even notice if another event was happening during yours. The halls are already very elegant so we didn't spend any money on decorating other than flower centerpieces but the space could certainly accommodate any over-the-top additions you might want.

First, our Server was new and when asked what beers were "Seasonal" as listed on the menu and we're told there is an apricot ale and no other beers other than what's on the menu. I had to go to the bar to find out what other beers were available and found many others. Other than not knowing what beers, our server was very pleasant and delivered food quickly. Food was served warm and fresh. Baby back ribs were Excellent and not overcooked or reheated. Almond crusted fish was crunchy and thin, very disappointing for $22. Overall restaurant was clean and good atmosphere with a beautiful patio overlooking the boat docks.

Growing up in Lorain I always hoped for nicer restaurants with more creative menus and ingredients. This place gets top marks in my book. The beer is flavorful, the menu is relatable but trendy, and the service is friendly. Also, for social distancing, the sheer size of the place makes it easy. Every time I go home to visit the family, I'm sure to swing by here for a pint and walleye sandwich or cup of French onion soup.
