Best Day of Our Lives
Lorraine and the day of team were amazing every step of the way. The lodge and groom suite were perfect to get ready in (and they’ve even made updates since our big day) and the Barn and outdoor space make a perfect backdrop for all the wedding events and photos. We are very grateful for such a reasonably priced and flexible wedding venue.
Love this venue!
The Old Blue Rooster Event Center was a wonderful venue to work with for a wedding last year! Their communication was always organized, energetic, and on-time, making the planning process seamless for the bride to be. The layout of the venue is great, with beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces that provided the perfect backdrop for the wedding. The value they offer is excellent, and I would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for an amazing place to host their big day. Makes a photographers job easy with beautiful views!
An absolute dream to work with!
Lorraine and the entire Old Blue Rooster team are an absolute dream to work with! As a wedding caterer, our staff looks forward to working at Old Blue Rooster! The OBR staff is so kind, easy to work with, and the communication is amazing!! If you are looking for a beautiful venue with outstanding staff, this is the place!
Amazing rustic venue with a stellar team!!
We randomly decided to host an actual wedding rather than eloping, leaving us just over 90 days to get everything sorted out. During this insane process, Lorraine & the rest of the team were nothing short of amazing and truly work to help cater your day to your exact wants and needs. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly rustic wedding venue in Columbus RUN to book them! They truly are there to help with anything (linen rentals, vendor recommendations, connections to previous OBR couples who have wedding items for sale, and plenty of ways to customize your wedding package). From the beginning to the end of our planning process, it has been extremely evident that the OBR team’s excellence truly is in weddings. Making a wedding happen in 90 days was so stressful, but I would do it a million times over again at Old Blue Rooster!
