Our preferred vendor list includes award-winning photographers, talented florists, live bands and DJs, videographers, and specialty rental companies who know our venues intimately and consistently deliver outstanding results.

What Our Clients Say
"Our wedding at Mahoning Country Club was a dream come true. We had our ceremony on the Garden Terrace with the fountain as our backdrop and then moved into the Grand Ballroom for dinner and dancing. David Park managed every detail, from the custom cocktail hour menu to the choreographed sparkler exit. Our one hundred and eighty guests still tell us it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever attended, and the sunset photos on the eighteenth fairway are magazine-worthy."
"We have hosted our annual company retreat at Mahoning for three consecutive years. The Sterling Room is ideal for our morning strategy sessions with its built-in presentation technology, and the afternoon golf scramble on the championship course is the highlight our team looks forward to all year. The club's catering team sets up a seamless transition from boardroom to banquet, and the quality of the food always exceeds corporate event standards."
"For our parents' fiftieth wedding anniversary, we wanted a venue as special as their love story. The Grand Ballroom at Mahoning delivered beyond our expectations. The events team helped us display a timeline of photos from their fifty years together, the chef created a menu inspired by our family's heritage recipes, and the gold anniversary cake was a work of art. All seventy-five family members who flew in from across the country agreed it was perfection."
