Lyman Harbor Wedding and Conference Center

of our wedding. Unfortunately, the staff was kinda hard to work with. On several occasions I called the venue to ask a question before the day of the event and got a snippy or inadequate/unhelpful response. While setting up the day before the wedding, we ran into several problems that caused a good bit of stress on the eve of the wedding. My husband and I are very thankful that everything turned out well in the end. Overall, everything turned out pretty amazing.

with was wonderful (Suzi) nearly two years ago but she left and then the wheels fell off. It was "down" season during the winter months and virtually impossible after that to get in touch with anyone. When we finally did, we were told the chef we initially had contact with left. Then we started over with menus with Blue Ribbon Catering and I thought all was good as I know they (Blue Ribbon) has a superb reputation in the Sandusky/ Norwalk area. Lyman Harbor's owner then had a falling out with Blue Ribbon so a month to the date before my daughter's wedding Blue Ribbon, not Lyman Harbor called me to say they were no longer affiliated with Lyman Harbor and didn't want to be associated with the food that may be served. They were so right not to want to claim responsibility for the food served that night. When I called Lyman Harbor about the fact that we now had no chef and was very unhappy about it, the owner basically said if we didn't like it, we could break our contract and find another venue. This was a month before the wedding and even though the invitations were sent, we tried to find another venue because I feared the worst. And I was right to worry. The big event..........let me just list. ....Carpets were dirty...guests commented .....Pieces of railing and welding equipment were strewn around the dock .....Outside entrances ( that the bride walked through) had dead bird parts and piles of feathers. .....All food was mediocre at best - lukewarm and NOT good ......Green beans, which were to be garlicy green beans, were not seasoned at all and cold and hard ......Rolls on table were to be warmed......stone cold. ......Salad was atrocious....huge chucks of iceberg lettuce and some bowls no dressing at all. ......I could go on and on...... We paid a grand for the venue and it was a wreck! So brides...when you look for reviews of Lyman Harbor, don't be fooled by the past reviews. That was before the wheels fell off and they have many, many issues. Unless they hire a professional chef, wedding coordinator, custodian, service staff. DO NOT book this joint......you will be so disappointed.

ss Point ballroom. I only wish they would have had the option for an x amount added to the bill to have an open bar instead of selecting the types and amount of each and every type of alcohol provided. Other than that, it was beautiful and perfect!

impression was not the greatest with the previous event person but since then they hired a new event coordinator Suzy. Suzy did an amazing job and was always willing to answer any questions we have had and always followed up with us. The wedding reception was great and pretty much everything went smoothly. The only issues we had encountered was that they put the champagne on the wrong table and they did not serve my family's table first after the bridal party went up to eat. The only other complaint I received was that a guest had to request sections of the buffet to be filled which should have automatically been done. Other than that, the food was great and Suzy was amazing. We received tons of compliments on the venue. The experience and atmosphere truly made our wedding complete.

o be. Beautiful waterfront and Cedar Point view, literally right around the corner from the entrance of the amusement park. We had our reception in the Starlite room, it had huge gorgeous gold chandaliers and very low, intimate lighting. They were so accomodating and we wouldn't have changed a thing. We still have friends telling us how classy and fun it was there. Definately one of the moderate-priced venues in Sandusky, with a very fun and classic event spaces.\

cold though as many guests told us.

lling to help out anyway they could. I would definitely recommend checking out Lyman Harbor for your wedding reception

me too! Best experience. We had so many people come in out of town and everyone said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to.

ue so it was a happening place.
