We chose Le Meridien Columbus for both our ceremony and reception. This was the best decision we made for our wedding. In the heart of the Short North, the location is unbeatable. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous and offered our guests an excellent and upscale stay for the weekend. As the bride, my group got ready in the presidential suite, which I highly recommend. This gave us (and especially the hair & makeup teams) enough space to get ready for the day. The hotel is connected to The Guild House, so they provide all of the food for the wedding reception. The food was top tier. You have plenty of menu options to select from and you can customize the experience as much as you want. We loved it because we were all in one location and this made the timeline such a breeze. Last, the Catering Sales Mgr. Sheri was our #1 help through it all. You meet with her and the team a number of times throughout the planning process. She was so helpful and communicative with us through everything. If you are considering a location in the Short North, Le Meridien is the place to book.

My husband and I got married at Vitria on the Square (ceremony & reception) in September 2024. We were one of the first couples to sign a contract at this new wedding venue. Vitria and the entire team (especially Bryan & Elenore) are exceptional. From the moment we visited Vitria, we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. Bryan completely sold us, we didn't even care if the day actually would go well or about the price at that point, we just loved him from the moment we met him. That being said, our day went PERFECTLY and was beyond stunning. The team was incredibly punctual, flexible, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself was simply stunning, with large floor-to-ceiling windows that flooded the space with natural, sunset light. The food and drinks were divine, we still get compliments to this day about the short rib and moscow mules. Vitria exceeded all of our expectations - if I had to redo my entire wedding, I would choose this venue over and over again. They are so much more than just 5/5 stars, I will never recommend another venue. Just do it and don't look back, you won't regret it!!! :)
