Weddings At The Ivory Room

By DJ Rod of Buckeye Sounds | Columbus Wedding DJ & Founder of WedVenColumbus

If the idea of exchanging vows on the sixth floor of a downtown Columbus high-rise, surrounded by panoramic views of the city skyline and the Scioto and Olentangy Rivers, appeals to you, The Ivory Room at Miranova is in a class by itself. Operated by Cameron Mitchell Premier Events — the hospitality group behind some of Columbus's most celebrated restaurants — this 7,500 square foot, U-shaped venue combines a genuinely jaw-dropping setting with food and service quality that consistently draws the strongest reviews of any event space in the city.

Wedding Receptions At The Ivory Room

The Ivory Room's defining feature is immediately apparent the moment you step off the elevator on the sixth floor: floor-to-ceiling window walls on all sides deliver a panoramic view of downtown Columbus, the Scioto River, and the iconic arch bridge of West Main Street that is unlike the view from any other venue in Central Ohio.

The interior design complements the setting without competing with it. The room features hardwood floors, dark ceilings, white walls, and soft elegant chandeliers — a clean, modern aesthetic that photographers describe as resembling a high-end art gallery. It functions as a beautiful neutral canvas that can be styled in virtually any direction, from black-tie formal to contemporary-romantic, without the space fighting your vision.

For reception-only events, The Ivory Room accommodates up to 300 guests. For events that include both ceremony and reception in the same space, the comfortable capacity is 200 guests. The venue is exclusively yours for the duration of your event — no other events are held simultaneously, which means the full attention of the staff is on your wedding from setup through close.

The food and service are what separate The Ivory Room from comparable view venues. Cameron Mitchell Premier Events has been the standard for Columbus hospitality for decades, and multiple reviewers specifically describe the food as the best they've had at any wedding. The team also provides comprehensive event coordination as part of the package — several couples note they didn't feel the need to hire an outside wedding planner because the Ivory Room's coordination was that thorough.

A private bridal suite on-site includes three large vanities with specialized makeup lighting, a private bathroom, and a built-in audio system — a genuine amenity rather than an afterthought.

Wedding Ceremonies At The Ivory Room

The Ivory Room's U-shaped floor plan works beautifully for ceremonies. The north side of the room is the most popular ceremony setup, positioning the couple with the city skyline and river views behind them — creating a backdrop that is simultaneously urban and romantic in a way that's genuinely difficult to find in Columbus.

After the ceremony, guests can enjoy cocktail hour in the adjacent sections of the room or in the building's common areas while the ceremony setup is rearranged for the reception. The staff handles this transition smoothly, and the seamless flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception within a single space is a genuine logistical advantage.

One option worth knowing: the venue is located in the same building as M, a Cameron Mitchell restaurant, on the first floor. Some couples use the restaurant space as a pre-event gathering point for early-arriving guests, giving everyone a comfortable and stylish place to connect before the formal evening begins.

Wedding Pictures At The Ivory Room

The Ivory Room's photography opportunities are centered on two distinct environments — inside the venue, and outside along the Scioto riverfront.

Inside, the floor-to-ceiling window walls provide extraordinary natural light during daytime events and a stunning city light backdrop for evening photography. The combination of white walls, dark ceilings, and hardwood floors creates a clean, modern interior that photographs crisply in any lighting condition. The views through the windows make even standard portrait setups look exceptional.

Outside, the Scioto Mile riverfront — including the grass terrace adjacent to the river and the arch bridge of West Main Street — gives your photographer access to some of the most scenic outdoor backdrops in downtown Columbus. The area is walkable from the venue and provides strong variety: waterfront shots, bridge architecture, and the urban energy of downtown Columbus all within a short walk.

The building's exterior and the riverfront promenade work well for couple portraits during golden hour, and experienced photographers who know the area often plan a brief outdoor session to take advantage of the evening light over the river before returning to the reception.

Insider Tips For Your Ivory Room Wedding

A few things worth knowing:

• The view changes dramatically from day to evening. If your event starts in the late afternoon, you'll experience the room in both natural light and evening skyline glow — two completely different and beautiful atmospheres within the same event.

• The venue is exclusively yours. No other events run concurrently, which means the staff and kitchen are entirely focused on your wedding. This is something couples who've experienced it consistently mention as a meaningful difference.

• The evening rental block is up to 6 hours (typically 6pm–midnight). An "all day" block of up to 7.5 hours is also available for events that include a daytime ceremony.

• Garage parking is available in the Miranova building for wedding guests — a significant convenience for a downtown Columbus location.

• The Ivory Room offers reduced pricing for January through March events, which can be a meaningful savings opportunity for couples with date flexibility. The views are genuinely beautiful in winter too.

Insights About Bridgewater Weddings

Bridgewater is one of the areas largest privately owned venues in Central Ohio.

The ballroom is really quite beautiful so there isn’t a need to spent too much extra monies ‘to make it look nice’. That being said, if you have the room in the budget, decor lighting (especially on the pillars) looks great.

Don’t think that this venue is ONLY for larger receptions. The Veranda Ballroom can hold smaller weddings (about 120 guests) with a great overall look that Bridgewater is known for.

This venue is easy for your most of your guests to find since its just off Sawmill Road.

Weddings At Little Turtle

By DJ Rod of Buckeye Sounds | Columbus Wedding DJ & Founder of WedVenColumbus

Tucked along the banks of Big Walnut Creek on a 200-acre Pete Dye-designed golf course property in Westerville, The Golf Club at Little Turtle has been hosting celebrations for over fifty years — and it shows in the best possible way. This is a venue that knows how to run a wedding. The combination of a genuinely beautiful natural setting, a warm and elegant ballroom, and a team with decades of event experience gives Little Turtle the kind of effortless, well-oiled quality that brides notice immediately when they tour.

Wedding Receptions at Little Turtle

The Hawthorne Ballroom is the heart of the Little Turtle wedding experience. It's a warm, elegant space featuring high ceilings, a large stone fireplace, stunning chandeliers, and floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over the golf course grounds. The combination of the fireplace and the window views gives the room a character that feels simultaneously refined and welcoming — neither too formal nor too casual.

The ballroom accommodates up to 315 guests for a reception, with round table seating, floor-length linens, and chiavari chairs all included. A built-in dance floor and bar space mean the room is set up intelligently for a reception flow rather than requiring significant reconfiguration.

Adjoining the ballroom is the Hawthorne Patio — a brick-lined outdoor space that extends the venue seamlessly for cocktail hour, outdoor ceremonies, or additional reception space. When the weather cooperates, it's a beautiful and natural extension of the indoor space.

For smaller, more intimate gatherings, The Studio accommodates up to 30 guests and provides access to the outdoor patio. Many couples use it as a bridal suite during the day before transitioning it for a small rehearsal dinner or family gathering.

The venue also offers inclusive bridal and groom suites — a detail that reviewers consistently appreciate, noting the spaces are spacious and well-appointed for the getting-ready experience.

In-house catering is provided by the club's executive chef, and food quality comes up repeatedly in reviews. One couple's parent specifically noted the bar setup and food as things their guests praised throughout the evening.

Wedding Ceremonies At Little Turtle

Little Turtle's outdoor ceremony space is one of its strongest selling points. The brick-lined area overlooks the golf course grounds and Lake Turtle, and the combination of the manicured landscape, mature trees, and water feature creates a genuinely picturesque ceremony backdrop. The setting feels secluded and private despite being conveniently located — guests appreciate that it doesn't feel like a venue parking lot dressed up with flowers, but a real natural space that happens to be perfectly configured for a ceremony.

For indoor ceremonies, the Hawthorne Ballroom provides a warm and elegant alternative, with the stone fireplace serving as a natural focal point behind the couple. After the ceremony, guests move to the patio for cocktail hour while the room is reset for the reception — a standard country club flow that the Little Turtle team executes smoothly.

The venue has hosted events for over fifty years and has refined its ceremony-to-reception transition to the point where couples consistently describe the day as feeling effortless and well-orchestrated.

Wedding Pictures At Little Turtle

Little Turtle's 200 acres of Pete Dye-designed golf course provide wedding photographers with an exceptional canvas — far more variety than most country club venues in the Columbus area.

The most popular photo spots include the lakeside areas along Big Walnut Creek and around Lake Turtle, where the water provides beautiful reflection shots and a naturally romantic framing. The fountain feature on the property is another consistent favorite, and the manicured fairways and mature trees throughout the course give you the kind of lush, green backdrops that make outdoor wedding portraits look exceptional.

The club allows access to the golf course for bride and groom photos, which means your photographer can take you well beyond the clubhouse to find the best light and scenery. The grounds across 200 acres offer significant variety — open fairways, wooded areas, water features, and manicured landscapes all in close proximity.

The Hawthorne Patio also makes for beautiful ceremony and portrait photography, particularly in golden hour when the warm light catches the brick and the surrounding greenery.

Insider Tips For Your Little Turtle Wedding

A few things worth knowing:

• The venue has a reputation for strong value relative to other Columbus-area wedding venues at a similar quality level. Multiple couples specifically mentioned being pleasantly surprised by what they got for their investment.

• The staff handles setup and teardown as part of the package — couples note this is a meaningful convenience that reduces stress considerably on the wedding day.

• The Studio is a great use of space if you want a comfortable, private getting-ready area for a smaller group or a separate space for the groom's party.

• Little Turtle is located in Westerville at Little Turtle Way W, which puts it in a convenient northeast Columbus location close to I-270 and with easy access to several hotel options for out-of-town guests.

• The venue is across the street from Blendon Woods Metro Park — a beautiful natural area that your photographer may want to explore for additional portrait locations.

• The 50+ years of event experience at this venue is reflected in how smoothly the day tends to run. Couples who've had experiences at less-experienced venues particularly notice the difference.

Jorgensen Farms

Jorgensen Farms

By DJ Rod of Buckeye Sounds | Columbus Wedding DJ & Founder of WedVenColumbus

If you've been searching for a Columbus area wedding venue that genuinely feels unlike anything else in Central Ohio, Jorgensen Farms in New Albany deserves to be at the top of your list. Sitting on 100 acres of working organic farmland on the northeast edge of Columbus, this fifth-generation family farm offers two completely distinct venue experiences — Oak Grove and The Gardens — surrounded by cultivated floral gardens, rolling hills, and seasonal beauty that changes with every month of the year. Photographers consistently describe it as one of their favorite venues in Ohio. Couples who get married here tend to say the same thing: they can't imagine it happening anywhere else.

Jorgensen Farms Wedding Receptions

Jorgensen Farms offers two separate wedding venues on opposite sides of the property, connected by the working farm at the center. Both accommodate up to 250 guests and each has its own distinct character.

Oak Grove centers on a historic Lord & Burnham greenhouse — a stunning iron and virgin cypress glass structure from the early twentieth century that floods the interior with natural light. The greenhouse is attached to the Cottage and Main Hall, creating a seamless flow between intimate indoor spaces and the lush outdoor grounds. It's the kind of venue that photographs like something out of a botanical garden, and couples who choose it often describe it as feeling both romantic and completely original.

The Gardens has a different feel — more open and expansive, with a whimsical landscape built around the Arboretum, the Meadows, the Hedgerow Terrace, and the Arena — the Arena being the primary dinner and dancing space. Tree-lined paths, flowering shrubs, and seasonal plantings create a sense of being surrounded by nature without sacrificing the structure and polish of a well-run event venue.

What makes both venues particularly special is the food. Jorgensen Farms operates its own certified organic culinary program, sourcing directly from the farm and partnering with like-minded local producers. Couples consistently say their guests raved about the food — not as "good for wedding food" but genuinely outstanding in its own right. In-house floral design using flowers and herbs grown on the property is also available, which means your ceremony flowers can literally come from the ground you're standing on.

The venue includes professional event coordination, full setup and teardown of tables, chairs, and linens, and complimentary parking with staffed attendants — a comprehensive package that takes real logistical weight off the couple's shoulders.

Wedding Ceremonies At The Jorgensen Farms

Both Oak Grove and The Gardens offer outdoor ceremony options that take full advantage of the farm's natural beauty.

At Oak Grove, the ceremony typically takes place on the lush grounds surrounding the greenhouse, with the glass structure itself serving as a stunning backdrop. The combination of cultivated gardens, mature trees, and the historic greenhouse creates an atmosphere that feels simultaneously intimate and grand. The natural light at Oak Grove is something photographers mention repeatedly — it's soft, directional, and consistently beautiful throughout the day.

At The Gardens, the outdoor ceremony spaces within the Arboretum and Meadows areas provide a more open, pastoral setting with sweeping views of the farmland. The venue's flower and herb gardens are often in full bloom during the peak wedding season, adding color and fragrance that you simply can't replicate with purchased florals.

Both venues offer indoor ceremony options as well, and the Jorgensen team has coordinated enough events to handle weather contingencies smoothly. There are quiet, private areas on the property ideal for first looks and private vow exchanges before the main ceremony.

Wedding Pictures At The Jorgensen Farms

Jorgensen Farms is genuinely one of the most photographed wedding venues in the Columbus area — and the variety of settings within a single property is exceptional.

At Oak Grove, the greenhouse itself is the signature shot. The large window panes, iron framework, and natural light create images that look timeless rather than trendy. Outside, the cultivated gardens, mature trees, and pastoral fields provide a range of backdrops from lush and green to wide-open and golden.

At The Gardens, the tree-lined paths and seasonal florals create a naturally romantic setting that works beautifully in every season. Spring blooms, summer greenery, fall color, and even winter's quiet elegance all photograph distinctively here.

Both venues are on a working farm, which means there are unexpected details everywhere — weathered structures, garden beds, natural textures — that give creative photographers something to work with beyond the standard portrait locations. Couples with pets can often incorporate them comfortably given the property's open, relaxed atmosphere.

---

Insider Tips For Your Jorgensen Farms Wedding

A few things worth knowing before you visit or book:

• Oak Grove and The Gardens are separate venues on opposite sides of the property. When you tour, make sure you see both before deciding — they have genuinely different aesthetics and the right choice depends entirely on your vision.

• The in-house floral design is worth serious consideration. Having ceremony flowers sourced from the same farm where you're getting married is a unique and meaningful detail that guests notice. The Jorgensen floral team is experienced and works directly with you on your vision.

• Book early. Jorgensen Farms is consistently one of the most sought-after venues in Central Ohio and popular dates fill well in advance — often more than a year out.

• The catering is farm-to-table in the most literal sense. The culinary team uses organic produce grown on the Jorgensen property. If farm-fresh, seasonal, locally sourced food matters to you, this venue delivers on that promise authentically — not as a marketing claim.

• The venue is located in New Albany on the northeast edge of Columbus, close to I-270 and with several hotel options in the New Albany and Easton area for out-of-town guests.

With four distinct ballrooms, 39,000 square feet of event space, and a location steps from Easton Town Center, this is one of the most versatile and complete wedding venues in Central Ohio. It's also simply one of the nicest hotels in Columbus, which matters a great deal when your out-of-town guests are spending the weekend.

Wedding Receptions At The Hilton Columbus At Easton

The Hilton Columbus At Easton is a seven-story, 345-room upscale hotel featuring a Georgian Revival-style brick exterior with a grand cupola — a stately manor aesthetic that makes an immediate impression on guests arriving for your wedding. The hotel was fully redesigned in 2017, and the renovation touched everything from the guest rooms to the event spaces, resulting in some of the most beautifully appointed ballrooms in the Columbus area.

What makes this venue genuinely special for weddings is the range of room options. Whether you're planning an intimate celebration of 80 or a grand reception of 800, there's a space here that fits without the room feeling either cramped or empty:

• The Easton Grand Ballroom — the largest space in the venue and one of the largest wedding reception rooms in all of Central Ohio, accommodating up to 800 guests

• The Regent Ballroom — holds up to 300 guests for a seated reception and divides into three smaller spaces, making it ideal for a ceremony in one section and cocktail hour in another

• The Juniper Room — a mid-size space seating up to 130 guests, perfect for more intimate receptions with an upscale feel

• The Columbus Room — the newest addition, flooded with natural light, seating up to 80 guests for a reception or 125 for a ceremony-style setup

Beyond the four main ballrooms, there are also over 8,000 square feet of additional foyer and pre-function space available for cocktail hours, post-wedding gatherings, or overflow — giving your event genuine room to breathe.

---

Wedding Ceremonies At The Hilton Columbus At Easton

The variety of ballroom sizes at the Hilton Easton gives you real flexibility for your ceremony setup. The most common approach is to hold the ceremony in the same ballroom as the reception — typically in a theater-style configuration at one end of the room. Guests then move into the expansive foyer areas for cocktail hour while the hotel staff performs the room flip, before everyone returns to the fully reset reception setup.

For couples wanting to separate the two spaces entirely, the Regent Ballroom's ability to divide into three sections makes it particularly well-suited — you can hold an intimate ceremony in one portion while the reception is being set in another, without the two ever overlapping.

The hotel staff at the Hilton Easton is experienced at managing these transitions smoothly, and it shows. The room flip process is one of those things that can cause stress at less experienced venues — here it's routine.

Wedding Pictures At The Hilton Columbus At Easton

The Hilton Easton gives your photographer a strong variety of settings in a compact area.

Inside, the hotel's grand Roman pillars in the main entrance are one of the most dramatic interior photo backdrops of any Columbus hotel venue — you can see them in the hero image at the top of this page. The renovated hallways leading to the ballrooms have excellent natural light from large windows, making them a favorite for bridal party portraits before the ceremony begins.

Outside, the Easton Town Center is steps from the hotel entrance. The fountains, plaza architecture, and landscaped common areas give your photographer a range of urban and outdoor backdrop options within a two-minute walk. For couples who met at Easton, or who just love the area, this proximity is a genuine bonus.

---

Insider Tips For Your Hilton Easton Wedding

A few things worth knowing before you visit or book:

• Don't let the size intimidate you. This is probably the most common misconception about the Hilton Easton. The Juniper Room and the Columbus Room are designed specifically for smaller, more intimate receptions — and they feel appropriately scaled, not like a vast ballroom with too few guests. If your guest count is under 150, one of these rooms may be a better fit than the Grand Ballroom.

• The staff tenure matters. The Hilton Easton team has an unusually long average tenure compared to other hotel venues in Columbus. That institutional knowledge shows in how smoothly events run — vendors who work here regularly note that the staff is exceptionally organized and proactive.

• The hotel room situation is a genuine advantage. With 345 rooms recently renovated to a high standard, you can comfortably block a meaningful number of rooms for out-of-town guests without worrying about quality or availability.

• Easton Town Center is your after-party. Restaurants, bars, and entertainment are all within walking distance of the hotel. Guests who want to continue the evening after the reception ends have excellent options without needing to drive anywhere.

• The venue is located at 3900 Chagrin Drive near the I-270 and I-670 interchange, which makes it one of the most accessible hotel wedding venues in the Columbus area for guests coming from any direction.

Known as the McKinley Ballroom, this historic space blends timeless architecture with modern amenities for a truly unforgettable reception.

Located in the heart of downtown Columbus, the Westin is perfect for couples who want convenience, elegance, and a guest experience they’ll never forget.

---

Why Couples Love Weddings at the Westin Columbus

The McKinley Ballroom is a showstopper — stained glass windows, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, Carrera white marble floors, and soaring ceilings create an atmosphere that needs minimal extra décor. Natural light floods the room during the day, while soft evening lighting adds a romantic glow at night.

• The ballroom can hold up to 300 guests for your reception. Today this classy and elegant ballroom is used to create absolutely magical wedding ceremonies and receptions for Central Ohio couples!

Wedding Ceremonies At The Westin Columbus

Don’t think for a minute that you can only use this beautiful ballroom just for your reception! The Westin Downtown Columbus can provide everything that you need for your wedding day in-house. In addition to the ultimate reception, you will also have the option of having a beautiful ceremony in the Grand Ballroom or the more intimate Seneca Room. 

So if you are considering having your reception and ceremony at the Westin, here is what typically happens.

1. The ceremony space will be in two-thirds of the ballroom. Your actual ceremony will occur at the front of the ballroom - ie the High Street side of the ballroom.

2. There is a large section of white draping that the bride and bridesmaids ‘hide behind’. Not only does this hide part of the room from view, but it also makes for a dramatic entrance.

3. Once the ceremony is completed, your guests will go out to the lobby for the cocktail hour. While this is happening, the staff will begin to change the ballroom over for your reception. During this time the wedding party is often getting pictures taken.

4. Your guests will then come back into the ballroom for the reception where you can be assured of having a wonderful time for your family and guests.

Picture-Perfect Moments At The Westin Columbus

Photographers (of course brides and grooms) love this venue for its architectural beauty and natural light. Some of the most striking shots include couples framed by stained glass, reflected in the ballroom’s mirrors, or enjoying quiet moments on the grand staircase.

More Insider Tips For Receptions At The Westin Columbus

So if you’re not too tired to hear this for the 100th time on this post, the ballroom is really beautiful. You typically don’t have to do too much extra decor in this ballroom, which is really nice bonus. Having said that, lets start off with some decor thoughts.

• On the floral side, tall centerpieces work very well in this room with its very high ceilings.

• We see a lot of soft pastel colors being used in the ballroom. But don’t be afraid of using a bolder and perhaps a bit darker color to make your reception stand apart.

• If you are considering having decor lighting for your reception, the columns in the ballroom are the perfect focal point. This can really enhance the look of the ballroom.

Finally, here are some thoughts about the actual hotel from the point of view of you and your guests.

• The actual hotel rooms are unique too. Most hotel rooms are all the same design - very basic. But the Westin is so unique that there is a wide difference in some of the rooms. Some of smaller and actually quite quaint. But others (especially the corner rooms) can be very large.

• Another nice thing about this venue is that they usually only have one wedding happening at any given time. That means you can almost always be assured of having their full attention. For Saturday weddings, there are typically two time periods available. You can have the ballroom from noon - 5PM or from 7PM- Midnight. You can of course get the ballroom for the entire day.

The Hilton Columbus Downtown has many great photo opportunities! While its true that there are lots of great locations in downtown Columbus, two of the most photographed locations are in this Hilton.

Wedding Receptions At Wedgewood Golf & Country Club

The recently renovated Grand Ballroom is the centerpiece of a Wedgewood wedding, and couples who've been there since the renovation consistently say it exceeded their expectations. The renovation preserved the classic country club elegance while bringing the space fully into the modern era — beautiful crystal chandeliers, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the championship golf course, modern chiavari chairs, and a neutral contemporary color scheme that works beautifully with any wedding palette.

The ballroom accommodates up to 300 guests for a seated reception and includes a generous dance floor, a large built-in bar area, and space for a second bar adjacent to the dance floor — a layout detail that experienced wedding vendors specifically appreciate because it keeps guests near the action rather than migrating away from the room.

One thing Wedgewood does that makes a real difference: they only book one wedding per day. Every member of the staff, every detail of the preparation, and every square foot of the facility is dedicated entirely to your celebration. Couples who've attended weddings at venues that run multiple events simultaneously notice the difference immediately.

The venue also offers a generous selection of in-house décor items available to couples at no additional charge — a detail several reviewers specifically highlighted as a meaningful cost savings. You don't have to bring much in to make this already beautiful space look spectacular.

Wedding Ceremonies At The Wedgewood Golf & Country Club

The Celebration Garden at Wedgewood is one of the most genuinely beautiful outdoor ceremony spaces in Central Ohio — and that's not marketing language, it's what couples and photographers who've worked here consistently say. The garden is set into a hillside oasis with vibrant seasonal blooms, whimsical landscaping, and sweeping views of the championship golf course as a natural backdrop. The circular brick patio provides the ceremony focal point, with lush greenery surrounding your guests on all sides.

The ceremony space is located immediately adjacent to the ballroom, which means the flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception is seamless — guests don't need to drive anywhere or navigate a complicated transition. After the ceremony, everyone can walk directly into the cocktail hour while you and your wedding party are taking portraits on the beautiful grounds.

For couples who prefer an indoor ceremony, the Grand Ballroom provides an elegant alternative with the floor-to-ceiling golf course windows serving as a natural backdrop.

Wedding Pictures At The Wedgewood Golf & Country Club

Wedgewood is a photographer's playground. The combination of the Celebration Garden, the golf course, the clubhouse architecture, and the ballroom interior gives you more variety within a single property than most venues twice its size.

The Celebration Garden is the signature portrait location — the hillside setting, seasonal flowers, and golf course views create images that look like destination wedding photography. The circular brick patio and the surrounding greenery provide strong framing from every angle.

The championship golf course extends your portrait options significantly. The rolling fairways, water features, and dramatic elevation changes of the Robert Trent Jones Jr. design create scenic backgrounds that are hard to replicate at any other Central Ohio venue. Photographers who have worked Wedgewood know exactly which holes and which light conditions produce the best results.

The bridal suite is another favorite getting-ready photo location. Multiple reviewers specifically mention the suite's spaciousness and beautiful natural lighting — it's large enough to comfortably fit the full bridal party for getting-ready photos without feeling cramped.

---

Insider Tips For Your Wedgewood Wedding

• The Celebration Garden ceremony is a genuine outdoor experience — not a paved parking area with flowers added. It's a purpose-built garden space that feels private and secluded even though it's right next to the ballroom. If outdoor ceremonies are important to you, this is one of the best options in the northwest Columbus area.

• Add the second bar near the dance floor. This is one of the most consistently praised insider tips from couples who've had their reception here. Placing a bar adjacent to the dance floor keeps guests close to the action and reduces the traffic to the main bar — a small detail that noticeably improves the party atmosphere.

• The bridal suite accommodates your full wedding party comfortably all day. Several reviewers note that having the suite available from early in the morning made the getting-ready experience significantly more relaxed. If hair and makeup are being done on site, plan to arrive early and take advantage of the full day access.

• Wedgewood is located in Powell at 9600 Wedgewood Boulevard, about 30 minutes north of downtown Columbus near Route 315 and the Columbus Zoo. Several hotel options in the Powell and Lewis Center area make guest accommodations easy to arrange.

Medallion Club Wedding Receptions

The Medallion Club's ballroom is one of the most versatile in the Westerville area. At 7,500 square feet it can comfortably seat up to 400 guests, but it divides easily if your guest list is smaller — so the room always feels appropriately sized rather than empty or cramped. That's a detail a lot of couples don't think about until they're standing in a half-filled ballroom.

The center dance floor is a real advantage here. Having the dance floor in the middle of the room creates a natural focal point for the whole reception — your guests surround it from all sides, which means more energy on the floor and a better party atmosphere all night long.

One detail that makes the Medallion Club stand out among golf club venues: they only book one wedding at a time. That means the entire staff, the entire facility, and all of their attention is focused exclusively on your wedding. You're not sharing the venue — or their focus — with another couple.

Wedding Ceremonies At The Medallion Club

You have two genuinely excellent ceremony options here, and both are worth considering.

The outdoor ceremony space is on the side the ballroom is the more popular choice, and it's easy to see why. The backdrop is the golf course — rolling green fairways, mature trees, and water features that look like they were designed specifically for wedding photography. The space feels private and peaceful, even though your guests transition easily from cocktail area to ceremony site to reception without any logistical headaches.

If the weather doesn't cooperate, or if you simply prefer an indoor ceremony, the ballroom itself works beautifully for ceremonies as well. After the ceremony concludes, guests move to the lobby area for cocktails and appetizers while the staff resets the room for your reception. The flow is seamless and the staff handles the transition smoothly.

Wedding Pictures At The Medallion Club

The Medallion Club gives your photographer a lot to work with. The combination of manicured greens, fountains, ponds, and wooded areas means you can get a wide variety of shots without ever leaving the property.

The bridge over the pond is consistently one of the most popular photo spots — the reflections and framing make for dramatic, memorable images. The veranda overlooking the golf course is another favorite, especially for wedding party shots at golden hour.

One of the more fun perks: the club allows your wedding party to take golf carts out on the course for photos. It adds a fun, relaxed energy to the photo session that your bridal party will enjoy, and the candid shots you get between posed portraits are often the ones couples treasure most.

Don't overlook the ballroom itself for photos either — the warm lighting and spacious layout make it a great backdrop before guests arrive.

Insight Wedding Information About At The Medallion Club

The Medallion Club's ballroom is clean and well-appointed enough that you don't need to over-decorate to make it look beautiful. The room does a lot of the work on its own.

A few things worth knowing going in:

• Tall floral centerpieces work particularly well given the ceiling height — they fill the vertical space elegantly without overwhelming the tables.

• The center dance floor placement is a genuine advantage. Unlike venues where the dance floor is pushed to a wall or corner, being in the center of the room keeps energy high from all sides.

• If you're considering décor uplighting, this room responds well to it. The right color wash on the walls can completely transform the feel of the space to match your wedding palette.

• Free, plentiful parking is something guests always appreciate — especially the ones driving in from out of town. No valet, no parking garage fees, no stress.

• The Medallion Club is located in Westerville, which puts it in a convenient northeast Columbus location — easy to reach from I-270, and close to hotel options for out-of-town guests.

The Inside Info For Your Receptions At The Ohio Statehouse

This isn’t just a historical venue…its THE historical venue for the entire state of Ohio. So it should almost go without saying that there are certain regulations on what sort of decorations and other items are permitted.

The Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board (CSRAB), who take care of scheduling, can provide you with a list of preferred caterers. Because of the restrictions involved with using an outside caterer, it is probably best to stick to their preferred catering list. With seven preferred caterers, you have several great options to choose from.

The facilities are open from 7 am-12 am daily, but your guests cannot arrive before 8 am, and everyone must be gone by 11 pm. Clean-up begins at 11, and we’ve never heard of any exceptions. This venue is closed for all events on national holidays as the entire building is closed.

To make your reception even more dramatic, think about having lighting on the pillars. You can customize the color to fit your wedding colors. So you make the room look better and it ties in with your wedding.

Your guest can park for free in the underground garage.

The Ohio Highway Patrol is in charge of security for the statehouse, and will be on hand for your reception. You can’t get much better than that!

You have several hotels (Sheraton Capital Square and The Renaissance Hotel) within a VERY short walking distance from the Ohio Statehouse. Once again this makes it easy for your guests.
