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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
The skybridge that connects to the convention center provides one of our favorite places for wedding photos. The natural light and gorgeous beams provide a beautiful backdrop. Some of the most beautiful photos on the skybridge are those where the couple's reflection can be seen in the windows.
The venue's unique spiral staircase is another photo opportunity you won't want to miss. The artistic symmetry of the stairs gives you a very unique area for pictures. This is also a great spot for a bride to show off her dress.
Finally, the ballrooms themselves are ideal wedding photography locations. Whether you and your guests are enjoying a great meal, or you are having a great time dancing, you are sure to love your photos from your ballroom wedding.

So you would think that this wouldn’t have to be mentioned if you are even somewhat familiar with the location….but this venue NOT available for home OSU football weekends. LOL.
If its available, make sure you get the presidential suite. It is complimentary the night of the wedding, as long as it is available. If you also reserved it the night before your reception it will also give the wedding party a place to get ready the day of the wedding. Once again its these sort of items that makes things easier for you and your wedding party.
There's a range of places for people to hang out while still being part of your reception. You have the ballroom of course, the patio out back, the large foyer, and even the bar area with nice couches.
