Planning a wedding in Youngstown means choosing from more places than most couples expect. This guide covers 190 wedding venues in 50 towns across the Mahoning Valley, from downtown Youngstown out to Boardman, Canfield, Warren, Niles and Salem, and on into the farm country of Columbiana County. You'll find a cathedral and small-town churches, long-running banquet halls, barns and wineries, country clubs, and the parks where couples go for their wedding photos and video.

A lot of couples here split the wedding day between two places: a church wedding ceremony in the early afternoon, then a reception at a hall, club or barn that evening. Others want everything in one spot, and plenty of the venues below can hold your ceremony, cocktail hour and wedding reception without anyone getting back in a car. In between, many wedding parties stop in Mill Creek Park, where Fellows Riverside Gardens and Lanterman's Mill are favorite places for formal pictures.

Some names turn up again and again in local wedding albums. Stambaugh Auditorium, the 1926 Greco-Roman hall on Fifth Avenue, has its own formal garden and a coordinator for every couple. St. Columba Cathedral downtown is known for its stained glass, and the B&O Station is a restored 1905 railroad depot beside the Mahoning River. Some of the most personal weddings happen at smaller places, like a lakeside ceremony at The Vineyards at Pine Lake or a camp-style weekend at The Barn at Pineridge near Lisbon.

Use the filters to narrow the list by type of venue or by town. Every venue has its own page with a description written for couples, contact details and directions, and, as local photographers and videographers add their work, real wedding photos and films from there.

Church wedding venues in the Youngstown area

A church wedding ceremony is still the tradition for many Youngstown-area couples. The list runs from the Basilica of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, where the walk down the center aisle is 75 feet long, to the church on the village green in Canfield. Catholic parishes usually ask you to get in touch six months or more before your wedding day and to complete marriage preparation, and many churches have their own guidelines for music and photography. Call early and ask before you book anything else.

Banquet halls and event centers for your wedding reception

Banquet halls and event centers handle the classic Valley wedding reception: a head table, a dance floor and dinner for a few hundred guests. W.D. Packard Music Hall in Warren can seat around 480 at round tables. Others are historic rooms with a story, such as the B&O Station or Pioneer Pavilion, an 1821 sandstone mill in Mill Creek Park that holds up to 96 guests.

Barn, farm and winery wedding venues

For a country wedding, head out toward Vienna, Columbiana and Lisbon. Candywood Wine Cellar holds its receptions in a century-old barn, The Vineyards at Pine Lake marries couples beside the lake, and The Barn at Pineridge sits on an old 45-acre YMCA camp along Beaver Creek. Many of these places keep your whole wedding day on one property, from getting ready in a bridal suite to the last dance.

Hotel, club and resort wedding venues

Hotels, clubs and resorts make the day easier on guests coming from out of town. The DoubleTree by Hilton downtown fills the 1907 Stambaugh Building, so guests can check in a few floors from your reception. The Grand Resort in Howland offers outdoor ceremonies overlooking its golf course, and The Peter Allen Inn in Kinsman, an 1821 Federal-style house, can host your ceremony and reception on one historic property.

Parks and gardens for your ceremony and wedding photos

Parks and gardens are where Youngstown couples go for their wedding photos and video, and some host ceremonies too. Mill Creek Park is the heart of it, with Fellows Riverside Gardens at its north end, the suspension bridge, and Lanterman's Mill with its waterfall and covered bridge. Most parks need a permit or reservation for a wedding ceremony, and rules for photo sessions vary, so read each park's page before you plan.

Next: find someone who has worked at your venue

Once you have a venue in mind, look for photographers and videographers who have already worked there. They'll know where the light falls in the church, how long the walk from the ceremony to the gardens really takes, and which corners work best for wedding photos and video. Every venue page shows the local photographers and videographers with work from that place.
