- 1 Theater
- 2 Event Spaces
- 3 Historic Spaces
Housed in the former McKinley Elementary School in Cincinnati's Columbia-Tusculum neighborhood, the Irish Heritage Center of Greater Cincinnati occupies a 40,000-square-foot Italianate building constructed in 1875. The property and surrounding neighborhood have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979. Maureen Kennedy and Kent Covey purchased the building in 2009 and undertook an extensive restoration, establishing the center to promote the culture, traditions, and story of the Irish and Irish Americans in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. The center offers multiple event spaces across its restored campus, accommodating gatherings from intimate parties of 30 to concerts and performances of up to 200. Spaces include a converted-gymnasium Theater and Concert Hall with a full stage, lighting, and sound system; a third-floor Erin Ballroom with natural light and an elevated stage; a Dance Room; a Tea Room; and a fully functional catering kitchen available to rent. All spaces are elevator-accessible. Beyond private rentals, the center hosts ongoing cultural programming in Irish music, theater, dance, film, genealogy, and the visual arts.

Portage Country Club
240 N Portage Path, Akron, OH 44303, USA- Spaces for 300 Guests
Founded in 1894, Portage Country Club ranks among the top ten oldest clubs in America — an institution born during Akron's rubber industry boom that has operated continuously for more than a century. The Tudor-style clubhouse, designed by Chicago architect Howard Shaw and formally opened in 1906, has been painstakingly preserved through two rebuilds after separate fires, each time restoring rather than replacing the original character. Private events at Portage are hosted in the Directors Room and the Ballroom, whose majestic views set the stage for wedding receptions, anniversary celebrations, corporate dinners, and milestone gatherings. The club's private rooms collectively accommodate up to 500 guests. An Executive Chef and pastry team design custom menus for each event, and a dedicated Events Manager guides clients through planning and vendor coordination from first inquiry through event day. The surrounding property — an 18-hole William Langford–designed golf course, six Har-Tru tennis courts, swimming facilities, and both formal and casual dining — gives guests a full club experience as the backdrop for any occasion.
