Help me find a venue for...

My DH's graduation party!

This August I'm looking to throw a BIG party to celebrate DH's Master's degree, and I need help finding a location. I'm open to ideas-- the only "must" is that if it's an outdoor venue, we have to have access to AC.

Any suggestions?

TIA

How many people? Any certain part of town?

Not sure on the people, but it could be a good size (more than 40?) East side would be best, but that's not a requirement.

Thoughts?

If you aren't opposed to it, Sharon Woods has a beautiful lodge. Its large enough for that size and more. Has a full kitchen (if you wanted to use it), and it walks out onto a small pond/lake. Its beautiful & fairly central. They do have heat/ac but if people wanted to be outside, you have that option, too. GL!

A couple of the Hamilton County parks have lodges with a/c. One of them does full service catering too (maybe at Lake Isabella??)

We had my masters graduation party last May at Dewey's Harpers Point. We had about 30 people and it was very easy. We brought in our own cake. It's not a huge party room but it worked for our afternoon event. The price for salad, pizza, beer/wine was reasonable. Congrats to your husband!

I threw a party for my parents a few years ago and rented the Lemming house. It's part of the miami township parks and it was perfect. We had about 80 people there and it was plenty big enough. There was outdoor space as well with a big deck around the back and a small play area for kids. It has a kitchen also which was awesome for storing and prep of food.

You can look at local hotels, most of them have meeting rooms that you can rent and turn in to a party room. There is also the anderson township civic center on 5-mile that I believe rents an area out. I don't know if this place is still up and running, but I've been to a party at a place called hilltop on 125 near Amelia and they have both indoor and outdoor space.

I loved this idea too, but Lakeside Lodge doesn't have AC and Riverside Lodge (in Loveland) is booked the days I'd want it Sad

Closed. He bulldozed his house in an effort to avoid the bank taking it after he failed to pay taxes for his carpet business and Hilltop. In the end, they closed the businesses. LOL

I remember the house bulldozing, that's why I said I wasn't sure if it was still open or not. My H knows his daughter and her husband through friends and what not and H's best friend was actually booked to have their wedding there a month or so after the bulldozing incident. They ended up just going to Gatlinburg and getting married for other reasons, but I know for a while Hilltop was still open. That guy cracks me up. Only a SERIOUS nut job would do that, but I gotta give him credit, that was awesome!

Hi Jen!

I don't really have any ideas, but I just wanted to say hi.

Hope to see you soon!

P.S. Way to go for your hubs getting his masters!!!

Stillwaiting- the sad part is, it was a pretty nice house! It was not far from where I live. It's still a pile of rubble with a bunch of anti-IRS signs in the yard. The wife of one of our employees works at the bank he had his loans through. She supports the nutjob comment! Wink
