Reviewed On 10/27/2020 by Meg S
I am not exaggerating when I say my wedding day could not have been anymore perfect. Of course my other vendors played a big part too, but Cheers is an amazing venue! Not only is it beautiful, but the staff are all very kind and helpful, and ve...
ry responsive to questions (and I had a million). We got married at the lakeside gazebo and the ceremony space is beautifully decorated, as is the reception hall. I felt like I barely needed my own decorations! Also, catering is included with the price of the venue, and the food is amazing as well. AND you get a wedding coordinator to help navigate you through the day and keep you on schedule, which was so helpful. I literally could go on and on about this place, but I definitely recommend it to anyone. It is very unique and I loved that it wasn't a barn/country style, which I feel like is very common in my area (but just not my style). You won't regret getting married here!!

d the most perfect day we could ask for. We had our ceremony at the chapel in the woods. My husband and I are nature-holics and dreamed of a boho wedding. This ceremony spot was beyond perfect. With the lights hangoing in the trees and the smells of the trees and the lake, there was very little "decoration" that we needed to do to pull off this boho wedding. In addition to, we had the reception at the lakeside venue, which we also had to do very little because the space is permanently decorated with beautiful lighting, leaves, and branches that pulls the nature into every aspect of the night. Midway through the night, we had a bonfire and guests were able to spread out into the woods and lake or they could get down with us on the dance floor. This was perfect, especially with a pandemic going on. Penny and Steve are absolutely amazing and truely care about every wedding they have on their property. The week of the wedding, there was a water break in the lakeside venue and Penny immediately scrambled to find a fix so that we could make our day possible. Also, our coordinator Bailee and the rest of the Cheers crew spent countless emails and phone calls to help us plan this day right. We decided to do the pasta bar, and let me just say I've received so many compliments about it. Between the show of watching the servers flip pans through fire and the quality of the food was too notch. This was perfect for all types of eating preferences, including mine which is vegan. We also had the fajitas at the rehearsal, and my mouth is still watering thinking about them. Most venues supply a small room for a bridal suite. Cheers had an entire small house with two rooms and a bathroom that we were able to do touch ups in. And it was decorated with care. We took photos both before and after the ceremony. There was no shortage of great backdrops including beautiful flower gardens, woods, ponds, lakes and even an Emu!

This venue had an extremely poor response to COVID. With a severely immune-compromised mother, and a family that has a lot of elderly, I expected a more sympathetic response. I had reached out to the venue at the beginning of covid voicing my c...
oncerns, in which they explained they weren’t rebooking for my date. By the time they would’ve began rebooking for my dates, Ohio laws had been changed back to allow large wedding receptions. We did not feel comfortable hosting 150 guests and we tried desperately to work with the venue on a smaller wedding. The venue was going to hold us to our minimum which would’ve covered 150 guests, regardless of what size we felt comfortable with. They stated because the state allowed it they are not contractually obligated to make exceptions. Only when I said I was going to be cancelling my booking did they offer an alternative date, only Friday winter dates, despite paying for a summer Saturday (double the cost). We were willing to push it until 2021 but they would not give us the option. We decided to cancel our booking. We know we signed a contract stating no refunds but we never dreamed a pandemic would hit. We had been making payments for nearly 8 months and they refused to give us any percent of our money back. Once again I tried to be understanding and work with them, we were okay with losing the deposit. But they took and kept the payments we had made for food, bar, and service knowing they would not be providing them. They kept thousands of dollars. It was extremely disappointing. If you are booking during COVID, I would be prepared if anything unexpected happens, they will not be willing to work with you.

good idea of what the venue had to offer based on their website, so we decided to at least take a visit. As we pulled up, we still weren't sure of the place ... after 10-15 minutes of touring with Steve (the owner) my wife fell in love with it, and we were handing Steve a check for the deposit. I don't need to go through all of the details, but the staff made our wedding seamless! We had quite a bit of our own decorations, and we dropped everything off the day before and the staff had everything perfectly in it's place for the day, we didn't have to do a thing! All that was left for us to do was enjoy our beautiful wedding! If you want an affordable price tag, with a dream-come-true experience, Cheers Chalet is the place! Thank you so much to Steve, Penny, and their wonderful staff!

above and beyond what we expected for our wedding day. But there were a few things that I was not happy about. First being the names on their sign that they have when guests enter. our ceremony was a 4:30 so guests started showing at 4. We mentioned to a staff member at 3 that the names had not been changed from the previous night event and our guests were going to start to show and the staff member replied "not my issue" it was then mentioned again to who ever was in charge of cooking our food while she was in the office and she shrugged it off as no big deal. what upset us is neither of these employees helped us find help for it. Finally, we were able to find Jennie and she changed it right away, but by that time most of our guests had shown and it seemed almost pointless. We just felt that the first two employees we talked to didn't care enough for our event, when we were paying for it. and they should of at least contacted someone to change it. The second issue was that in our timeline we had provided on multiple occasions, salad was supposed to be served to our guests at 6pm to allow us a little more time to take pictures, but it was not served till 6:20 pushing our timeline out a bit, dinner was also late to be served. Why work so hard on a timeline if it wasn't followed? Over all our event was beautiful and besides the staff mentioned above, everyone was very helpful and accommodating. We enjoyed the open houses, and they were always well put together. If you get the chance to work with Jennie, do it! Our hostess, Lauren, was very helpful and pleasant to work with as well.

We experienced similar remarks for the sweet and salty station, a lot of options ran out by the end of the evening.

She is so so sweet and so quick to respond to any questions or concerns. There are a few complaints I have however. Rachel, our event coordinator for the rehearsal and actual wedding day was AWFUL. We had SO many complaints not only from our wedding party but from guests too. She was rude to my wedding party, made horrible comments to them during rehearsal and the ceremony. She also showed up to the wedding in a SKIN TIGHT bright red dress which her spanks showed out of the bottom. So embarrassing when guests continue to ask all night who she is and why she's dressed the way she is. I also didn't like that we didn't even meet her until rehearsal when she was the one we would be working with the most when it came to the actual wedding. I wish we could have had Caley instead. Again, overall cheers was wonderful, the setting is absolutely beautiful and we had the best day. I would just NOT recommend working with Rachel if it can be avoided.

le with the first wedding planning due to clash of personalities and email exchange was slow. But when we switched it got better. We got married at lakeside. Tanya did an awesome job setting up. We couldn’t set up the day before due to a wedding so I gave her all the decorations and she set up that morning. She sent me pictures to make sure nothing was missed and nothing was! Wedding ceremony was perfect. The reception was okay: the bartender had flat coke but my mom told Tanya and that was fixed right away. Had problem with two different types of beer being warm. I actually had to put ice in mine. Bartender was pouring liquor that wasn’t included in the package and then making guests pay for it. I told one the the helpers to talk with him and Then Bartender was telling guests we got the cheaper package so they would have to pay. After the wedding was over the staff lost some of my boxes and they were just throwing stuff into boxes and not packing it up nicely. Doesn’t sound like a issue but I had stuff every where. But... with all that being said I am still very happy we picked cheers. The food was excellent (small issue with the cook forgetting to give guest pasta when it was a pasta bar). But all of my guests said it was the best food they ever had at a wedding . And all of the decorations were setup lovely.

I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about Tanya and Cheers Chalet & Catering! After meeting with several area caterers, it was immediately clear that Cheers Chalet was the most professional, most responsive, and highest quality caterer ...
out there. From start to finish, Tanya patiently answered my questions and addressed my concerns. She offered expertise and advice when I needed it while still deferring to and honoring the vision we had for our wedding. The execution on our wedding day was phenomenal: we received numerous compliments on how wonderful the food was and how professional the staff were. The setup at their Lakeside venue was incredibly organized and looked stunning! I went into the day with complete confidence that the food service was going to be amazing, so I was able to just be a guest at my own wedding reception and truly enjoy the day. Hire them. You will not be disappointed.

This is an amazing venue, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a classy, outdoor, or rustic environment. There was an unfortunate mix-up with our dinner though. I don't know how it got missed but we were supposed to have a vegetarian option with dinner, and it didn't get made. There were several guests who did not get to have meal because of this mistake, and I was very disappointed. Other than that, it was absolutely flawless.

a little awkward at times and unless you had specific questions she didn't offer much information. We absolutely loved the venue though and the landscape was gorgeous! Their prices were very reasonable (considering other venues we looked) and they provided catering, set up and tear down for the event. After we booked, we were able to make all of our payments over the phone which was super helpful. We were also provided with an event coordinator (Caley) who we met with to discuss our menu, event timeline, special requests, ceremony and reception options. We decided to have our ceremony at their Chapel in the Woods location & our reception at Lakeside. Both venues were amazing! Caley was a wealth of information and was able to answer ALL of our questions/meet all of our requests. She emailed us our estimate w/ event timeline and was easily able to contact with questions/concerns. Adjustments were able to be made up until the final payment--1 week before the event--final counts 2 weeks before. Caley was awesome and a complete blessing to help our wedding and reception go as smoothly as it did. We were able to have a rehearsal onsite the day, and at this time, we were introduced to our day of hostess (Olivia) who would help to run the event with Caley. Olivia helped with our rehearsal and was also extremely knowledgeable. We brought all of our decorations and favors to the rehearsal, which they quickly set up. They did everything and more that we requested and were able to offer suggestions for anything we weren't sure on. On the day, Olivia and Caley both worked so hard! I was so impressed with their work ethics! Me and my bridesmaids were up in the office area getting ready for the event and Olivia frequently came to check on us & keep us updated. It rained a lot before and during, but Olivia was extremely flexible and accommodating to make sure everything went well . We did have the option to change our outdoor ceremony indoors if we wanted but we chose to stay outdoors. Even though it poured during the ceremony, the thick tree cover out in the woods kept our guest dry, minus a few sprinkles. We had personal umbrellas at the ceremony site and Olivia was helpful at getting these distributed to the wedding party after the ceremony. There was a golf cart to transport my husband and I as well as our photographer back up to the reception site quickly so that we could do wedding photos on the covered deck/dance floor. We had planned to do cocktail hour out there, but with the rain had to change the plans. Olivia and Caley, again were fine with this and quickly moved the cocktail tables to another area so that guests could still eat hors 'doeuvres and enjoy cocktail hour. Caley and Olivia were on their A-game the whole night! Food was AMAZING! We chose the hog roast package and it was so good! All of our guests loved the food & some even commented that it was the best wedding food that they had ever had. Myself and some of our guests have gluten allergies, but this was not a problem for them. They were able to provided gluten free options & also put the croutons for the salad into a separate bowl. Everything ran seamlessly & we would highly recommend! You will not be disappointed!

I didn't mind though because it was absolutely beautiful, and you have the option to go cool off inside. Cheers is very reasonably priced and so much is included with their price and venue.

venues are decorated with lights and décor that make it feel warm and elegant. The best part is it was reasonably affordable. Cheers caters and handles everything for you (such as decorating, clean up, etc). The food was absolutely delicious. They had a large menu with lots of variety. The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because when we sat down and worked over all of our details, I was promised Cheers would ensure that they would contact any vendor who did not show up as planned. Unfortunately, our DJ did not show. I did not find out until 30 minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle. Once I brought it to our hostess' attention she made calls immediately. Turns out our DJ was in a car accident. Cheers asked the DJ from the wedding at the other venue to fill in for the ceremony since it was an hour behind ours. That worked out perfectly. We were only about 15 minutes late. That DJ called someone else to come from his company to take over. Everything worked out just perfectly, but it was a bit frustrating that he wasn't called earlier when they knew he was expected 3:30 and no one had noticed he wasn't there until I had told them at 5:00. Other than that it was a wonderful experience with Cheers. It really is a beautiful, affordable venue that I would definitely recommend.

ul. I will break down the good and bad for you about this venue. Good- Great Price, Good food, they are totally customization and will work with you to create whatever vision you have in your head, they were great at setting up everything to our standards, as well as tearing down everything. Everyone seemed happy and I heard no complaints during the actual wedding and reception. Bad- They double booked our date and called us to let us know we would have to take the smaller venue if we wanted that date or move our wedding to the following weekend. We had already started planning everything and booking flights for our honeymoon as well as for out of town guests. We were lucky that we could get everything changed to the following weekend and Cheers gave us appetizers and champagne toast for free. They then changed the time of our rehearsal from 5-6 to 3:30pm-4:30pm. Which would have been fine except the lady who was our wedding hostess for the weekend was a half hour late. Since they were getting ready for a wedding at 6pm we were very rushed and only got to practice everything once. The day of the wedding I walked up to go down the aisle and the same wedding hostess thought that my wedding started at 6:30pm instead of 6pm and seemed very confused. Honestly the day could have gone very smoothly if she hadn't been there running about being confused about things. She then solicited one of my groomsmen for a position there and let him know they were short staffed... the strange scheduling things that happened now make more sense to me. Finally please let your groom and his party know that there is no where for them to get ready and unless they are taking photos at the venue don't bother coming at 4pm like they suggest. There is no where for them to be except to sit in the reception venue and wait. Our overall experience was very good minus the few scheduling conflicts that seem to be a management thing and probably don't happen to many couples. We chose cheers because we were friends with 2 other couples that got married there and they never had any problems. It is really a nice place to start your lives together.

Although neither of us is from Lancaster -he's from Dayton & I'm from Youngstown- it was chosen due to "middle ground". Honestly the venue pictures do not do it justice and although it is small, which is exactly what we wanted, it is the epitome of intimate in a way that is indescribable. They have their own in-house caterer, wait staff & bartender, which was crucial for us (the least moving pieces as possible)and I often referred to it as "all-inclusive" since they have almost everything we needed/wanted in-house. And the details that they do not provide, ie. cake, DJ, florist, etc., they offer suggestions of who you can use. Carol answered all my questions-and I had a ton of questions-and made me instantly feel comfortable that they would take care of everything for me. Alison was patient, understanding, sincere, and kind at all times, providing me with constant reassurance and quick responses whenever necessary. I flew to Ohio in April to meet the "Cheers Ladies" (and actually see the venue we booked off pictures alone) and instantly felt like "family". The amazing attention to every detail gave me the feeling that I could surrender all of my fears and worries. I knew after our first review of my vision for our wedding day that they were going to do everything they could to make our day special-and that turned out to be an understatement!! Fast forward to Oct, my fiance,our two dogs, and I drove across the country for our whirlwind wedding in Ohio. We arrived on Friday and stopped by Cheers so Derek could finally see where we were getting married on Sunday. We were greeted with hugs and affection from both Carol and Alison...which melted all the concern he was feeling beforehand. We also scheduled our rehearsal brunch at Cheers on Saturday morning so we got to see it decorated for someone else's wedding...beautiful to say the least, but nothing could prepare me for how perfect my own wedding day decor turned out!!! Our 'autumn vision' for our day was executed better than either of us could have imagined. The staff, especially Aubrey & Alison, took my ideas and our homemade fall-inspired DIY wedding decor and elevated it to the next level. We were both blown away by how perfectly each and every detail came together with only a verbal explanation as their guide. They took their time and truly put thought into what would make us happy, and it showed! We chose to have a "Hog Roast" dinner, and I would wholeheartedly encourage anyone to do the same! DELICIOUS!!! I wish I would have had time to go back for seconds! Everyone raved about the Harvest Salad I selected and the appetizers were devoured as well!! I don't know if my review can truly convey how perfect everything turned out but I hope that if you are debating between one venue and Cheers that you give these amazing people your business. I had the wedding of my dreams & I couldn't imagine having spent such an important day with anyone else assisting us. Thank You Cheers!

I recently got married at Cheers Chalet and it was the perfect day. Leading up to the wedding I kept in contact with the Cheers Staff and they were always friendly and helpful and answered any and all questions I had. A couple days prior to...
the big day I was able to drop off my centerpieces and decorations at Cheers and the staff took care of everything from there. This was a HUGE weight off my shoulders and I knew that they would do a wonderful job of setting up my venue how I had it pictured in my head. The day before the wedding was my rehearsal and the staff was so great during that as well. They offered their help where needed and gave helpful advice as they have done this many times before! They put me at ease and made the rehearsal easy and enjoyable. The day of the wedding I walked into my reception area and it was decorated beautifully. Everything looked perfect and the way I had wanted it. I couldn't have asked for it to look better. The ceremony space was beautiful and it went smoothly with the help of the wedding coordinators. After that was the reception where we had the most amazing meal, I had nothing but great things said about it from my guests. The rest of the night went without a hitch and I had the best wedding. Cheers is a beautiful spot to get married. The scenery is perfect for pictures and just an absolutely gorgeous place to say I do. But without the help of the amazing staff my day wouldn't have been so perfect. I can't thank them enough and I would recommend Cheers to anyone!

I would recommend Cheers Chalet to anyone seeking a wedding venue with a great staff who will do anything they can to make your day special. We had planned to have our ceremony in the chapel in the woods at Cheers and have our reception at Lake...
side, but it rained a lot that weekend, and we ended up in Lakeside, with the ceremony on the deck and the reception inside. As my husband said, "our plan B was really more of a second plan A." The venue is already lovely and natural-looking, so we didn't add much. We were able to bring in our own centerpieces since it was important to my mother-in-law to contribute in that way. It was great because we ended up getting to do some pictures at the Chapel in the woods between ceremony and reception. Guests, wedding party, family, and my husband and I all thought it was such a relaxed and comfortable wedding thanks to the care and attentiveness of the staff. Again, I would highly recommend Cheers as a venue for your wedding.

My husband and I had a beautiful Valentine's Day Wedding at Cheers Chalet which was planned in only 7 weeks. We showed up on a Sunday and booked that day. Carolyn was so helpful and something about her was so believable. I trusted her from t...
he get go. We didn't leave much room for our minds to change on the decision making process but Cheers made it easy. They were easy to contact and very customer service friendly when emailed. Response time was within a day. And much to my surprise I had my very own 'coordinator' the day of the wedding. I knew one was included but I assumed they would disappear, nope, Bailey was there from the start clear to the finish. Helping with everything from filing my wine glass to zipping my gown, and just being downright awesome. The venue was beautiful. The snow was falling beautifully and the white lights on the trees were gorgeous. I am so very happy we were married at Cheers. I have nothing but great things to say about the venue, the staff and the food... absolutely wonderful. The food was OUTSTANDING. AMAZING. Definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a hometown feel, great service and not feeling like you were ripped off. GREAT EXPERIENCE

Everyone was very helpful and knowledgeable and they went overboard to help in any way possible. The venue is clean and very pretty. I felt the alchohol was pricey though.
