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.

We had our wedding reception here and it was the best decision we ever made. Jill was so helpful…read moreand made everything easy. The food was delicious and the venue was so beautiful. 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. If you are looking for a venue for 100 people or less, I highly recommend the Clifton.

We had 35 friends over our house for a friend's special birthday. The festivities went really well. Needless to say the chicken piccata was unbelievably delicious. Besides the chicken we had cavatelli pasta, meatballs, and sausage with peppers and onions. We also had a salad and a sheet white pizza. Nobody complained.

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.

However, at $600 the Orchid Room is very expensive and is very limited in how you are permitted to decorate. We unfortunately had to cancel our event and requested a few butterfly house passes to use another day since we were out the $600. They said it was not possible. So be very aware of the 90 day cancellation policy and the very limited decoration policy.

The fields are in excellent condition, and the staff is friendly, organized, and always willing to help.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch sports facility for training or what to make a special memory for your families birthday party. This is the place to check out.

You can tell the team here truly cares about the appearance the upkeep. Unfortunately, during our stay, the AC was broken in the bedrooms. It was an unseasonably hot day and each of the bedrooms was 80+ degrees. The common areas including the location for the ceremony and dinner were properly climate controlled, but sleeping was difficult. Luckily, the outside temperature cooled down enough overnight for us to leave our sliding glass door open for a breeze.

It's unfortunate to have to write a poor review; however, we are extremely disappointed in this…read morebusiness. We had no other choice but to cancel our wedding due to COVID-19 and Diamond would not work with us in returning any part of our deposit. Instead, they tried to tell us they were being kind by waiving the full amount due because they mistakenly thought we did not cancel within 60 days, when in fact, we actually reached out to them in March. This was well before 60 days of the event, which would have taken place in mid-June. In addition, we live out of state, which makes it difficult for us to reschedule a big event like this, especially in a time of such uncertainty. We understand contracts; however, Diamond was our only vendor who would not work with us in returning any part of our deposit, and to make matters worse, used incorrect information to make it look as though they've done us a favor. We felt quite insulted.

The bartenders were friendly and when there is an open bar, that always adds a sense of happiness. The view was nice overlooking western Brunswick, Ohio. Although there was a trailer, a tractor, and other homestead items at the bottom of the hill in the back, which was clearly visible. If you're looking for a place to get hitched and have a reception immediately following your wedding ceremony, this could be a decent option. There was a fair amount of parking available and a paved lot. I wouldn't call the venue glamorous, but it is definitely functional.

NOTE: the cake, balloons and mums were brought in by us.
