process to ensure that all needs are

met, and the bride’s “vision match-

es what they have prepared.”

At Romer’s, the staff strives to

make each wedding as stress-free

as possible, and they aim to serve

each family as if it were “their own

family.” It’s really a “one-stop

shop,” when it comes to weddings,

since everything can be taken care

of in one location.

For one recent wedding, would be

traveling from as far away as New

York. The groom actually found

out about Romer’s while searching

the Internet. Then engaged couple

felt Ohio was a nice middle ground

for the families, and since every-

thing could be handled at a

Romer’s facility, it served as a

prime location, especially with the

overnight accommodations for

guests.

Visit www.romerscatering.com to

learn more about the different fa-

cilities and services, which do in-

clude off-site catering for couples

who have another reception venue

in mind. As with many things, it

all starts with one couple saying “I

do.”

ROMER’S EVENTS: One-Stop Wedding & Reception Venues Article by Holly Wuebker

Are you looking for that perfect venue

to host your wedding, reception, re-

hearsal dinner or bridal shower?

Romer’s Catering & Entertainment

Facilities may be the perfect venue for

your next occasion.

Owners Neil & Karen Romer special-

ize in events and catering, but their

story begins at a grocery store. Just

over 40 years ago, the couple started

out operating Romers IGA, a simple

“mom-and-pop” grocery in Burkets-

ville, Ohio. After vesting 23 years in

the store, larger chains began emerg-

ing with cheaper prices , and at times,

it was difficult to make ends meet. It

was time for a transition for the fami-

ly.

Fortunately, the Romers discovered

they could fill a niche for an entirely

different market. Karen was on the

St. Bernard Ladies Sodality board and

was asked to prepare a full meal for a

Monday meeting. Karen opted to

take care of the side dishes, and it was

decided that Neil would make his de-

lectable fried chicken. The meal was

an immense success and led to entire-

ly new opportunities.

Neil was asked to make his delicious

chicken again for a 40th anniversary

party, where they were asked to cater

the entire event. And so, the Romer’s

found themselves with a new business

-- one that began with a party they

hadn’t even offered to cater.

As word spread and the business

grew, Neil and Karen started catering

out of the back of the grocery store,

and in 1986, they began calling it the

“Catering Kitchen.” In time, they re-

alized there was a need in the com-

munity for a facility to host events

and receptions.

and, as their commercial equipment

put a strain on the grocery’s outdated

breaker system, the Romers know

they would have to develop a plan.

In May of 1996, with an astounding

81 confirmed bookings for the recep-

tion hall even before they broke

ground, construction began on the St.

Henry facility that would serve as a

larger kitchen and local venue for

weddings and events. As the opera-

tion grew, so did the need for similar

facilities in neighboring communities.

The Romers opened their Celina facil-

ity in February 2004, and their son

became the new manager, assisting

them in the expansion. A short time

later, the Greenville, Ohio, facility

opened. Not long after this, the

Romers purchased Overdrive, a venue

located on State Route 127.

The Romers also operate the

Westlake Hotel Villas, a “great place

to house your guests.” Each of these

venues is the prime location for a

wedding, providing ample dance

space and beautifully decorated facili-

ties, along with nearby accommoda-

tions for all overnight guests.

The Romer’s transformed their ven-

ues into every bride’s dream location

by offering “professional home-

cooked” catering options, along with

all the important reception particu-

lars to assist any new bride. They of-

fer decoration packages, including

centerpieces, vase and ceiling/

backdrop décor.

They can coordinate cakes, provide

DJ services, and shuffle the guests to

their accommodations the evening of

the event. Consultations take place

periodically throughout the planning
