CENTRAL OHIO (WCMH) — Now that engagement season is over, many brides- and husbands-to-be are on the hunt to find the perfect wedding venue.
Whether you’re looking for an elegant ballroom, prefer a rustic outdoor event or want a space flexible enough to make a small, intimate ceremony feel grand, the Columbus area has several great wedding venues to choose from. I asked NBC4 viewers what their favorites are, and here’s what they said:
Creekside Conference & Event Center
Creekside Conference & Event Center in Gahanna takes the top spot for wedding venues among NBC4 viewers, and it’s easy to see why. This dynamic space boasts an elegant lounge, lavish outdoor settings for those perfect photographs, and a customizable ballroom space complete with a dance floor. Creekside also has an amazing catering menu and works closely with local florists, photographers and more to ensure your day is flawless.
If your bridal style leans more on the industrial side, you should check out Vue Columbus. You get private use of the entire venue, which features great views of the city’s skyline, a separate cocktail room, a beautiful patio, a loft just for the wedding party and much more. You can have your ceremony at Vue and while your guests are enjoying cocktails and you’re getting photos taken, the space will be transformed into your reception area. If you’re on a budget, you even can provide your own alcohol and avoid the bar minimums.
Blending historical charm with modern convenience, Station 67 offers the best of both worlds. Featuring a historic ballroom, a beautiful garden and much more, Station 67 makes a great setting for a unique and memorable wedding. With two different reception areas and a separate ceremony area, you can easily tailor your event to your specific tastes and needs.
Grange Insurance Audubon Center
Spectacular views of both the city and landscape? Check. Amazing photo ops inside and out? Check. Knowing your venue fees help support conservation efforts and education programs? Check. Having your wedding at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center gives you great flexibility with both a modern indoor space and a beautiful outdoor space, and they have an exclusive catering arrangement with Metro Cuisine and their event coordinators. Plus, holding your event at the center helps support their conservation and education efforts.
Tie: Columbus Athenaeum
Built in 1896, the Columbus Athenaeum offers historic grandeur with a little bit of mystery. Once home to the Masonic Temple, the building boasts two theaters, a large ballroom with Corinthian columns, three ceremony spaces, and smaller reception spaces, making it the perfect setting for any size of wedding.
Tie: La Navona
If you’re looking for a venue that offers all-inclusive packages (including an open bar), La Navona may be the place for you. With beautiful outdoor spaces, rustic yet elegant indoor spaces, dedicated wedding coordinators and much more, the La Navona team takes the stress out of planning a wedding.
