The Makoy was the perfect wedding venue for our special day. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was prompt, kind, friendly, and professional. The venue itself is spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated - exactly what we were looking for. On the day of our wedding, their day-of coordinator seamlessly handled the transition from our planned outdoor ceremony to an indoor one due to unexpected rain. They set up the space beautifully and kept us on schedule so the entire day ran smoothly. Even though it wasn't exactly how we had originally planned, the Makoy team made sure everything was perfect, and we wouldn't change a thing. Our wedding was everything we wanted and needed it to be thanks to the Makoy's incredible service and stunning venue.

We LOVED The Beverly Mansion. We live in Columbus, and with our families in NE and West Ohio, this was the perfect middle point. Tim was extremely communicative and made the process a breeze for logistics and the catering. 7 months later, our guests are still raving about the venue and food! We go to 6-7 weddings a year and can truly attest that what Beverly has to offer, and the price point, can't be matched! If we had to do it all over again, we'd still pick Beverly!

Darby House was a beautiful property to host our wedding. While their communication style was a bit slow, with emails typically taking 3-5 days to respond, the venue itself was perfect. My wedding coordinator, who was different than originally planned, was absolutely fantastic and made everything smooth and enjoyable. I never had to worry about a thing on our wedding day. The only downside was that I accidentally left a locket of my deceased brother on my bouquet at the venue, and when I emailed both my original coordinator and the florist provided by Darby House, I did not receive a response. Overall, though, Darby House provided a wonderful backdrop for our special day.

Heritage golf club was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. Liz and her team were so professional and kind to us throughout the whole experience. Liz was very quick to respond to emails and the staff help to not only set up, but tear down the venue which alleviates a lot of stress on the couple. The team was very cooperative in making our dream vision come to life and checking in on the couple and their guests throughout the night. The food, drinks, atmosphere, service and all around experience could not have been better. If you are considering heritage for your event, especially your wedding, look no further as they are amazing and will make sure your special day goes off without a hitch. -The Sheline’s

From the moment we first contacted The MAiZE at Little Darby Creek, we were impressed by their patient, flexible, and informative communication style. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a unique and spacious layout that provided ample room for our wedding celebration. One of the standout moments was when the staff personally escorted my 91-year-old grandmother to the ceremony and back to the reception, ensuring she was comfortable and taken care of. They also recommended an excellent DJ. The kids (and adults!) had a wonderful time exploring the slides and taking the wagon ride over to the ceremony site. We are so grateful to the team at The MAiZE for helping make our special day truly unforgettable.

But what truly sets Retreat21 apart is its incredible staff. The wedding team is exceptional—quick to respond, always professional, and endlessly accommodating. I’ve worked directly with Michaela, the Wedding Director, and I can say with certainty that she puts her whole heart into every wedding she helps bring to life. Her passion and dedication, along with the rest of the team, ensure that every event is seamless and stress-free. Having been to nearly every premier venue in Columbus, I can confidently say that no other place offers what Retreat21 does.

We love working with couples at Nationwide Hotel for several reasons. First, it is logistically so much easier for couples to have everything taking place in one location. They can stay overnight the night before, get ready there, ceremony, photos, reception, and then afterward all of their guests can stay right there. This means there is no need to coordinate guest transportation, off-site hotels, bridal party transportation for photos, or have an elongated break for photography after the ceremony since it is much faster to do on site. Second, there are plenty of outdoor spaces for couples or bridal party photos if it rains! This is a huge advantage that not all venues have and rain is a real concern for an Ohio wedding. Third, there is a variety of spots on the property for doing group or couples photos. You can have the look of brick, green lawn, the beautiful pergola with all the greenery, the iconic covered walkway, some flowers, a tree-lined area where the leaves change colors SO perfectly in the Fall, and of course the fountain! By the way, the pond is amazing for sunset photos! We have been at Nationwide many times as photographers and always had a great experience. The food was always hot and served on schedule, and their staff is so friendly and genuinely wants to create the best experience for their guests. You cannot go wrong with any of their event spaces!

We got married at Swan Lake on 9/2. We had a great experience working with them. They were always very prompt in responding to our emails and had great communication with us the month leading up to the big day. When it came down to it they knew exactly what we wanted and our day of coordinator, Libby, was fantastic. She asked us as well as our parents and bridal party several times throughout the day if there was anything we needed. Overall, we were so impressed and so thankful we chose them because it was truly the best day.

From the moment we met Skyler and John at THE WENBECK Wedding & Events Center, we knew this was the perfect venue for our 190-person wedding. Their communication was timely, knowledgeable, easy, and very organized - it truly felt like talking to our best friends. The quality of their work and value was unmatched, as we were able to have a huge dance floor while still enjoying the spacious balcony that gave us the option to be inside and outside during the wedding. The Putt-Putt course is unmatched! Skyler and John cared so deeply not only about our event, but about us as a person, which was incredibly different than other venues we toured. Skyler was incredibly organized, anticipating details I didn't even know I had to think about, and always had the perfect solution. From the final walkthrough to the rehearsal, Skyler brought such a calming presence to an otherwise hectic time, and I don't know how I could ever thank her enough. I truly can't say enough good things about THE WENBECK and Skyler and John - if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a single thing.

The Venue The venue itself is stunning year round. Words can't do justice to how gorgeous the building and grounds are. We had spent months looking at other venues beforehand, but nothing even came close. The property has a history and story to it as well, which we can definitely appreciate. It feels secluded with trees and foliage surrounding it on all sides and the mansion is unreal. This place is a hidden gem. The Staff Lisa Ferraro is just the best. She is so kind, insightful, proactive, and all-around fantastic at what she does. We'd spent a good amount of time getting to know her on the first day that we toured and everything just clicked. We had great, fun conversations and felt so much more relaxed about our wedding knowing that this was it. She connected us with the best vendors (shout out to Matt the DJ with Seamless Sounds!), went out of her way to accommodate the accessibility needs of our guests, and asked all the right questions to keep our wedding planning on track. She truly went above and beyond to make sure our wedding went perfectly and we can't say enough great things about her! The rest of the staff nailed it too-- the setup day-of looked beautiful and teardown went flawlessly.

Our hope is to give each couple, a unique, beautiful setting while ensuring they have the wedding of their dreams. We work with each couple from the time we meet them through their day, making sure we meet all their needs and coordinating with their vendors to ensure they have as stress free and enjoyable day as possible.

Everything was ready to go when I arrived and the day went off perfectly with Kim's help. All of our guests loved taking photos around the gorgeous property.

Brookshire caught our attention when searching for venues for their beautiful ceremony outdoor space and the all inclusive aspects of the venue. Both of those impressed us throughout the whole wedding planning process and afterwards when seeing our wedding photos. Kira was our amazing coordinator through Brookshire and she was very easy to communicate with and helped us plan the details for our big day. Leading up to it and on the day of we felt confident that with her and the staff everything would run smoothly. With Brookshire being all-inclusive it was very easy to pick out the details we wanted regarding cake, centerpieces, linens, food/drink, dj and more because Brookshire had all of those vendors booked for us. We just got to tell each vendor our ideas and then they took care of the work making it come to life at Brookshire. We were glad we could also bring some personal touches into Brookshire and have the coordinators help us arrange those. All of our guests were impressed with the food quality, the outdoor and indoor space along with the smoothness of how the wedding day ran. We truly got to enjoy our day as Brookshire was very organized and made sure our day was just how we wanted it to be.

The Renaissance Columbus Westerville-Polaris Hotel was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. Their communication was quick, informative, and always helpful, which made the planning process seamless. The quality of their work and value was outstanding - the venue was beautiful and clean, and they were able to flip a room quickly and you couldn’t even tell we were in the same room for the reception! The venue really transformed! We were running behind schedule and they were quick to give us extra time so we didn’t have to rush our schedule. Also there is a small lake behind the venue which is stunning, you will not need to leave the venue for family photos after the wedding! They had plenty of staging rooms and an unexpected but appreciated compliment I got from our guest was how good our cocktail hour was, we had indoor and outdoor areas to relax and mingle! My one criticism is, we did find that they could improve the transparency around the financial aspects of the process, as we felt they were not the best stewards of our wedding budget. Despite this concern, I’d still choose them again, they barely hesitated to fix or clear up any concerns we had along the way and I’m sure they will continue to improve in this area. Overall, we were thrilled with our experience at the Renaissance and would recommend them to any couple looking for a stunning wedding venue with excellent service.
