Any suggestions for nice outdoor spaces to host a wedding reception in/around Cleveland Ohio?

I would like to find a nice outdoor location to host my wedding reception for about 100 people. Ideally this location would have bathrooms, parking, and a kitchen. I'm getting married in three months and most of my favorite places are booked. Most of the parks I have contacted won't let us remove the picnic tables and put up tents. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

1. huntington playhouse in the metro parks across from the beach in bay village rents out its space for weddings.. i went to a wedding there and it was really nice.. there is both indoor and outdoor spaces for dining and dancing plus they cater good luck
2. Sheffield lake on lake rd community center. They have a gizebo & out side, playground for the kids, inside the center the windows all face the lake.. and since its so close to the police station you dont need a renta cop they dont require it.
3. Within the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, there is an area called "Virginia Kendall." It has a wooden log cabin type structure for such events, which I believe you can reserve. Follow this link for reservations: http://www.nps.gov/cuva/planyourvisit/picnic-shelters.htm A great place to actually have the wedding would be at Brandywine Falls, which is within the same park and pictured here: http://www.nps.gov/archive/cuva/visitonline/brandywine/BWFalls.htm I have seen other weddings there. Only drawback, no alcohol. I lived in Ohio for over 20 years and every time I go back, I always stop to see the valley; absolutely beautiful. Check them out; I think you'll like them.
4. You might contact Clint Williams about Grand Pacific Junction and its "hotel" in Olmsted Falls. We had my parents' 50th wedding anniversary party there and enjoyed it.
5. I am planning for Delucas Place in the Park...give them a call...their website shows all the gorgeous options they have.
6. The Cleveland Botanical Gardens
