Having a reception during a home football weekend might be crowded at times, but if you want to combine OSU football with your reception, this would probably be the best venue for that. You are close enough to the campus, while still being away from it.
If the weather is nice, consider having your reception outside. This venue has a cool patio area that is perfect for ceremonies.
One of the really unique things for this new venue is the the hotel, and its salt water pool. I am not sure of how many salt water pools there are in Central Ohio.

Insider Tips For Your Reception At The Anthenaeum
This venue is in an excellent location downtown, with a nearby parking garage available as well as parking meters. There are plenty of hotel options, restaurants, bars, and rehearsal dinner options nearby. For example the Renaissance Hotel is almost across the street. 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.
We are betting that you will love that TCA is an all-inclusive venue offering tables/linens, catering, alcohol, serving staff and bartenders! They will take care of everything so that you don't have to worry about a thing.
