The Renaissance Columbus Westerville-Polaris Hotel was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. Their communication was quick, informative, and always helpful, which made the planning process seamless. The quality of their work and value was outstanding - the venue was beautiful and clean, and they were able to flip a room quickly and you couldn’t even tell we were in the same room for the reception! The venue really transformed! We were running behind schedule and they were quick to give us extra time so we didn’t have to rush our schedule. Also there is a small lake behind the venue which is stunning, you will not need to leave the venue for family photos after the wedding! They had plenty of staging rooms and an unexpected but appreciated compliment I got from our guest was how good our cocktail hour was, we had indoor and outdoor areas to relax and mingle! My one criticism is, we did find that they could improve the transparency around the financial aspects of the process, as we felt they were not the best stewards of our wedding budget. Despite this concern, I’d still choose them again, they barely hesitated to fix or clear up any concerns we had along the way and I’m sure they will continue to improve in this area. Overall, we were thrilled with our experience at the Renaissance and would recommend them to any couple looking for a stunning wedding venue with excellent service.

The Four Seasons Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding! Beth and her staff were incredibly responsive, prompt, precise, and easy to talk to throughout the planning process. On the big day itself, they went above and beyond to make everything stress-free. Beth and my wedding coordinator Katie were a true dream team, working seamlessly together to setup and execute our vision. The venue itself provided stunning backdrops for our ceremony and reception, with beautiful outdoor spaces and all well-maintained. Using their rentals also saved us a lot of money. I cannot recommend the Four Seasons Barn enough - between their fantastic communication, seamless execution, and gorgeous spaces, they were integral to making our wedding day perfect! 1000% recommendations this place!
