The Lakes Golf and Country Club sits within the Highland Lakes neighborhood in Westerville, Ohio, its Ed Sneed-designed championship golf course woven through manicured fairways with several back-nine holes framed by the Westerville Reservoir. That same scenery extends into the club's event spaces: the Drake Room and Club Room, on the main floor, look out over the golf course and the Pavilion, and can be booked separately or combined for groups of up to 150. For a larger gathering, the Pavilion overlooks the course's 10th hole and opens onto a veranda, suited to an evening event under the stars. Upstairs, the Barnhard Room, McCoy Room, and Morton Brand Room offer additional space reached by stairs or elevator, rounding out a set of rooms built to handle groups from small business breakfasts to weddings of 250 guests. The club's event team customizes menus, catering, and decor for weddings, showers, business meetings, and other celebrations, guiding hosts through planning from the first site visit to the event itself.

The Amelita Mirolo Barn is a timber-frame event hall set within Upper Arlington's Sunny 95 Park, where hand-hewn oak beams from an 1838 structure create a striking contrast with a bright, modern interior. The original barn was built by Thomas Legg near Reed and Fishinger roads, relocated in 1928, and preserved through community advocacy during Sunny 95 Park's 2007 development. The Ohio Timber Framers Guild completed the hand-raising of the timber frame in 2010. The 3,700-square-foot main hall accommodates up to 150 guests for weddings, family reunions, business retreats, birthday parties, and civic gatherings. Tables, padded banquet chairs, and a full AV package — projection, LCD displays, wireless and lapel microphones, and Wi-Fi — are included with rental. A kitchen equipped with refrigeration, warming, and ice supports catering operations, and the venue maintains a list of permitted caterers. An outdoor trellis and patio overlook a pond and provide additional gathering space adjacent to the main hall.
