Our wedding at HLHC was gorgeous. Everything flowed nicely in that space. They have excellent staff who were all so helpful in planning the perfect day. They were flexible and easy to plan with out-of-state, and they were accommodating for me to visit and see the new renovations. Kate, our day-of coordinator, did an excellent job to make sure everything went smoothly. The catering and bartending services were fantastic! I'm still getting compliments on the cocktails, haha.

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with the Le Meridien event team. I hosted a bridal shower for my daughter at the hotel in July and it was quite simply amazing. The level of care in the detailed preparation and the day of staff and their flawless execution were phenomenal. I decided to go with a six-course tasting menu and wine pairing which is a bit out of the box for a bridal shower and on complicated side for an event. The team didn’t miss a beat, they listened to my general vision for the event, and coordinated with the chef to come up with spectacular menu that just wowed everyone. The day of staff was remarkable. They delivered the courses and wine pairings to our group of 30 with such precision and attentiveness. Thank you, Le Meriden, for a most excellent experience. My daughter, all the guests, and myself as the host, could not have had a more lovely afternoon

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!!! :)

The Venue The venue itself is stunning year round. Words can't do justice to how gorgeous the building and grounds are. We had spent months looking at other venues beforehand, but nothing even came close. The property has a history and story to it as well, which we can definitely appreciate. It feels secluded with trees and foliage surrounding it on all sides and the mansion is unreal. This place is a hidden gem. The Staff Lisa Ferraro is just the best. She is so kind, insightful, proactive, and all-around fantastic at what she does. We'd spent a good amount of time getting to know her on the first day that we toured and everything just clicked. We had great, fun conversations and felt so much more relaxed about our wedding knowing that this was it. She connected us with the best vendors (shout out to Matt the DJ with Seamless Sounds!), went out of her way to accommodate the accessibility needs of our guests, and asked all the right questions to keep our wedding planning on track. She truly went above and beyond to make sure our wedding went perfectly and we can't say enough great things about her! The rest of the staff nailed it too-- the setup day-of looked beautiful and teardown went flawlessly.

Brookshire caught our attention when searching for venues for their beautiful ceremony outdoor space and the all inclusive aspects of the venue. Both of those impressed us throughout the whole wedding planning process and afterwards when seeing our wedding photos. Kira was our amazing coordinator through Brookshire and she was very easy to communicate with and helped us plan the details for our big day. Leading up to it and on the day of we felt confident that with her and the staff everything would run smoothly. With Brookshire being all-inclusive it was very easy to pick out the details we wanted regarding cake, centerpieces, linens, food/drink, dj and more because Brookshire had all of those vendors booked for us. We just got to tell each vendor our ideas and then they took care of the work making it come to life at Brookshire. We were glad we could also bring some personal touches into Brookshire and have the coordinators help us arrange those. All of our guests were impressed with the food quality, the outdoor and indoor space along with the smoothness of how the wedding day ran. We truly got to enjoy our day as Brookshire was very organized and made sure our day was just how we wanted it to be. Thank you for the attention to detail, open communication and great staff making it our best day ever!

When we toured the venue, this location was so beautiful and checked off every box for us, but what really sold us was the staff and Kaylie, our wedding day coordinator, who were all so helpful in making our big day a reality. They have some amazing vendors that frequent and already have a great relationship with the zoo that made the day run with ease, and to top it all off have animals and a giraffe feeding during cocktail hour was a hit. So many of our guests made a point to mention how great of a time they had, some saying it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to. Thank you so much to the Columbus Zoo events crew for memories of a lifetime.
