This is a big cost saving advantage because there’s no need for a shuttle service before/after the reception because everyone is able to walk to and from the venue.
Don't be afraid to choose vendors that are not on the preferred vendor list! They do not force you to go with the list. So if you already have a DJ or cake vendor that you really want to use, that will be fine! Just make sure your vendors are familiar with the Athenaeum and their rules - if they are then you are good to go.

Brick & Mortar Wedding Receptions
Located in the historic Smith Bros’ Hardware building, Brick & Mortar gives you a great combination of an industrial feel, with a garden area, and then with great views of downtown Columbus.
Brick & Mortar is a great space because it has an adjoining courtyard, giving you and your guests both indoor and outdoor space, While Brick & Mortar can hold about 150 guests inside, you almost double or TRIPLE that amount of space when you add in the terrace and courtyard!
Another nice thing about this venue is that it gives your guest the choice between spending time inside dancing the night away, or enjoying the cool summer breeze on the terrace.
Here’s the bottom line: this venue has a very unique quality that makes the perfect backdrop for your vision of a simple, elegant wedding with an industrial feel. The space is beautiful, with a lot of old world charm that really comes out that night with the lighting they use.

If you love the urban look and feel, you should like that you can do both the ceremony and reception all in one place.
If you have your ceremony outside you can have it in the courtyard. Even though its just outside of downtown Columbus, it will feel very private as it has both an urban and green feel.
Your guests can enjoy a pre-ceremony space of the terrace. You can have drinks for them while they enjoy the city views. If you chose 'The Venue' as our ceremony location, it will be outside in the adjoining courtyard. It is in between two buildings but there is a surprising amount of green space for a unique combination of industrial AND greenery.
This has a wonderful backdrop of the Columbus skyline and is nicely shaded in the evening. They string these gorgeous lights across the garden that give the space a very romantic feel at night.
