Canopy Creek Farm was absolutely amazing. From the planning stages to the day of, they were so helpful and willing to give advice and support through the whole process. Our day of coordinator was Janet Collinsworth, and she honestly made the entire experience the best day ever. She works so hard at making the wedding day the best that it can be, and she is incredibly great at her job! We LOVED having her support and kindness the entire night. She isn’t afraid to take charge and she always knew what to do to make it run smoothly. We could not have done it without her. Thank you for making it the best day ever!

Mica and the whole staff at The Windamere really made our wedding better than we could’ve imagined. From the beginning, Mica was very straightforward and honest. All of her pricing was transparent and she was thorough with us. The venue offered the history and charm we were looking for at a decent price and Mica gave us the peace of mind by being our day of coordinator. I loved that we were all able to get ready on site and never saw each other until our first look. We also enjoyed that she has a secluded vip area for us right after the ceremony so we could take a few minutes to breathe before the reception. She helped through the decor process and was very timely with communication, especially as we were planning from 500 miles away. We are so grateful for her and her team.

Delta Hotels by Marriott Cincinnati & NIDHI - a great combo! If you are looking to have your next event, don’t walk..RUN. Nidhi & the team are exceptional when it comes to welcoming the people, planning & hosting the events. I recently had my wedding @ the Delta back in June, 2025. I had 7 events, in 4 days and everyone was amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to bring my visions to life. Nidhi is an amazing person and is very accommodating via, phone calls, texts & emails. She’s even better in person. She took my vision and brought it to life and not only worked with my family and I but was even more accommodating to the grooms family who came in from out of state. We had several meetings with her and the team prior to the run through of the events, and she has outdone our events in every aspect. The pictures may speak for it but what’s above and beyond is the compliments we’ve been receiving from friend’s and family so many months past the wedding. Thank you to Delta & Nidhi & the team for just about everything. The hotel staff is beyond friendly and helpful and the event management team and crew are exceptional. Everyone is dressed to impress with their smiles, words and grace of work. No thank you is enough. If you’re looking to host your next event! Call the hotel and book it before you regret it!!

Karrikin Spirits 

5.0

Cincinnati, OH
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,000

Karrikin Spirits Company is a Cincinnati based craft distillery and event space in Fairfax, committed to exploring our love of flavors with the community. By definition, karrikins are the elements found in the smoke from a forest fire that trigger the regeneration of that forest. In the centuries since Whiskey Hollow was settled, those karrikins have been at work to bring distilling back to this very location on Cincinnati’s east side. In Spring of 2017, seven founding members with experience in brewing & distilling, woodworking, design, and more came together to purchase a building formerly occupied by Swallen’s and later, DnD Metal to start a journey of flavor and fire. From there, Karrikin Spirits Company was formed — a full-service, grain to glass distillery producing handcrafted spirits, sparkling spirits, non-alcoholic sodas, and beer. If you are interested in booking with us, please contact us directly. Details on how to reach us is found on our website.

  • Multiple event spaces

Venue considerations

  • No on-site guest accommodations
  • No on-site bridal suite

Karrikin Spirits was the perfect venue for our rehearsal dinner. The space was very cool and modern, with an industrial vibe that we loved. The value was great - we got a lot for what we paid. The day of staff was super friendly and attentive, and the drinks they served were amazing. There was quite a number of shifts for the coordinator person so we did have a bit of confusion around the timing of the dinner, but ultimately the team pulled through and made it a super special evening for us and our guests. Overall, we were really pleased with Karrikin Spirits and would highly recommend them for any wedding-related event.

We chose The Factory Event Center for our daughter’s wedding, and couldn’t have been happier with the decision. From our first meeting through the final goodbyes, April and her team were thoughtful, organized, and made everything easy. The gardens are truly a highlight. We toured in late spring, and were wondering how the garden ceremony space would look in the fall — it turned out to be absolutely breathtaking and the perfect backdrop. Every detail during the event ran smoothly: the setup, the coordination, the flow, and the atmosphere. Guests kept commenting on how beautiful everything was. We are so grateful to April and everyone at The Factory for making our daughter’s wedding joyful, memorable, and stress-free.
