I do not want to get married in the Hocking Hills region or Put-In-Bay...yet that seems to be the only thing I can find information on...I'd rather it not be a church either.....:)
Good luck!
Franklin Park conservatory
Park of Roses (Whetstone park)
Oakhurst Country Club (my venue)
The Darby House
The Blackwell Inn
The Clocktower
Grand Host East
Cherry Valley Lodge
Every single place i've listed is in Columbus Ohio with the exception of Cherry Valley Lodge in Newark
If you need more info, shoot me an email and I'll help you
We looked at all these places!
EDIT: Tiger is right, Franklin park conservatory is pricey, that was our first choice but we have a budget of only 6000 dollars. Thats why we're getting married at Oakhurst Country Club.
No matter what though, wedding venue's that are all inclusive, get you somewhere, we didn't pay any rental feel but our food was the cheapest out there it was like 16 dollars a head for two entree buffet
Here is a page full of different ideas...

That should get you started or at least give you some ideas! Definately check on Kingwood Center if you want a beautiful wedding location at a budget saving rate!
