We had the absolute best experience having our wedding at Vitria on the Square. Everything was perfect from start to finish, and the entire team made the process so easy and enjoyable. Elenore was incredible to work with and truly went above and beyond. She made planning so fun and helped with every detail, from linens and table settings to the flow of the day. She was so organized, kind, and genuinely cared about making everything perfect for us. The waitstaff and bartenders were amazing, and our guests could not stop talking about how good the food was, especially the appetizers. The entire night ran so smoothly and felt effortless thanks to the Vitria team. The space is absolutely beautiful and created the most stunning backdrop for our wedding. We could not be happier that we chose Vitria on the Square and would recommend it to anyone. It was everything we dreamed of and more.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Boathouse was the perfect venue for our daughter’s wedding. The ceremony on the deck overlooking the rivers with downtown Columbus as a backdrop was an incredible setting! For the reception, the floor to ceiling windows in the Olentangy Room displayed a similar view with the added feature of an illuminated downtown in the evening. The management staff , Edward and Kelsey were wonderful. They were easy to communicate with and addressed all questions and any concerns I had. The staff working the event were fabulous too. They were all very friendly and personable and really helped make this anxious mother feel things were in good hands. Thank you all for your hard work Edward, Kelsey, TT, Kevina, Brandy, Maya and David. Also, I have to mention that the food was amazing! Salmon and steak were served. The salmon and accompanying sauce were so favorable and the beef was the most tender I’ve had since dining at my favorite steak restaurant in Texas. It honestly was the most delicious food I’ve ever had at a wedding. I definitely am looking forward to dining in the restaurant portion in the future. I believe the bride and groom and all guests felt it was an elegant, yet unpretentious, relaxed atmosphere. Perhaps a bit biased, but my husband said it was the most enjoyable wedding he had ever been to.
