We hosted an amazing wedding for our daughter and son in law at the Marriott Cincinnati Airport. The staff were flexible, accommodating and so supportive throughout the entire process. Shelly is a rock star and has a great team. The venue worked so well for the rehearsal evening and set up, get ready rooms for bridesmaids and groomsmen on the day and of course the remarkable reception. It was so fast and so smooth. It was very special to have such organized planned meeting spaces as well as the flexibility for unplanned gatherings throughout the weekend. Many guests stayed overnight at the Marriott and joined in for the casual morning breakfast. The staff continued wrapping around our families until the weekend was complete. It was a magical wedding event and we couldn't have been happier with our Marriott experience!

(Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, and Georgia) We have had the opportunity to work at White Diamond Lavender Farms several times. Our first time there, it was still a work in progress. They still had many things they wanted to add in the future to their building and outside. They have done an amazing job doing these things, and they are continually improving.

We would however recommend a wedding planner/coordinator which was an option within the venue packages. We went without a planner and had to scramble to orchestrate some details the day of. Small details, but overall a great experience and would absolutely recommend for couples that are looking for a more casual wedding day!

We had our ceremony and reception here and it was beautiful. There is a huge parking lot that made it easy for our guests who wanted to drive to do so and for our limo to pick us up. The entry way is spacious and has a security guard up front for the entire night. There was a beautiful staircase but also elevators for our guests with mobility issues. There were bathrooms both upstairs and downstairs as well. The venue itself is so beautiful we really needed minimal décor for it. There are awesome lights, barrels that were used as tables, and so much character to the space. Our bar package was through them as well. We hesitated when we saw the beer list (no IPS, craft, or seltzer options), but it ended up being perfect. Their open bar high-end option had plenty of other choices of liquor and wine our guests could also choose from and had a great time. The team did a great job – they set up all of the tables and chairs exactly like we wanted, did a great job running the bar, and gave us exactly what we needed. They were very kind and flexible with us as we asked questions throughout the process. Would highly recommend getting married here!

We were married at Hotel Covington in September 2024 and it was hands down one of the best decisions we have ever made. We knew we wanted a fully outdoor wedding with food and drink provided on-site, and HC provided exactly that. I could go on forever about how wonderful every single person was – Ashley was amazing getting us started with HC, then seamlessly handed us over to Riley who was with us until the day of the wedding. The staff was attentive to our needs, and we were so bummed when the night was over. All our guests (including our sweet doggie) felt incredibly welcome. We have officially made it a point to visit Hotel Covington every few months for drinks, and plan to stay there again for our anniversary. Thank you to the entire team at HC : )

We had our wedding reception at the Oscar Event Center June 7th and it was fabulous! The attention to detail by Josie Fickes, our wedding coordinator, in accomplishing our theme of elegant, rustic Italian and intimate group seating was perfect! I can't say enough about how professional, kind and responsive Josie was in making our vision come true! The menu selection is delicious. It will be hard to decide what you want. Our selections were delicious. Our guests are still talking about how good the food was. I have to comment on how nice it is to work with a coordinator that knows the vendors in the area to help you achieve your theme and have the best night you can for your guests. Additionally, the servers were excellent and really made our guests feel special. They go out of their way to help and attend to everyone! Thanks again Josie and Oscar staff, our reception was even better than we imagined!

We highly recommend the incredible team at Pillow & Paddock! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had chosen the perfect venue for our intimate wedding. Pillow & Paddock is truly a gem, offering a unique blend of elegant charm and warm hospitality that made our special day even more magical than we could have imagined. We opted for the Intimate Wedding Package with Lodge Room ceremony and were absolutely blown away by the attention to detail. The Lodge Room was beautifully prepared for our ceremony, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere that felt so personal and heartfelt. The warmth of the fireplace added such a special touch on a cold, snowy winter day. The accommodations were luxurious and comfortable, providing a relaxing haven for us amidst the excitement of the day. We also loved the unique touches like the speakeasy for a special evening drink and the fun 1920s movie theater. The breakfast the following morning was absolutely divine – a perfect start to our first day as a married couple. Our guests were equally enchanted by the beauty of the property and the unique charm of Pillow & Paddock. The added comfort and privacy of each beautifully appointed luxury suite, complete with its own pristine bathroom, truly enhanced their stay. It provided the perfect backdrop for our intimate celebration, allowing us to truly connect with our closest loved ones in a relaxed and beautiful setting. What truly set Pillow & Paddock apart was the exceptional service. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and that we felt completely taken care of. Their genuine kindness and willingness to accommodate our needs made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. If you are considering a small, intimate wedding, we wholeheartedly recommend Pillow & Paddock. It's a truly special place with a team that is dedicated to making your day unforgettable. We will cherish the memories made here forever. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything. Sincerely, Libby & Tom Newlyweds!
