The Makoy was such a sentimental pick for us and we are so glad we made the decision to get married there. Matt, Adrian, Clay, and Erin were incredibly helpful, quick, and polite throughout the entire planning process. They went above and beyond to make us feel special on our wedding day, making adjustments quickly and with grace. The Makoy was truly dreamy, accommodating, and considerate, ensuring our day was perfect. The price was a plus too!

Our guests raved about how good the food and drinks were, as well as how beautiful the space was! They made everything about our wedding day so special, from the plate of hors d’oeuvres and drinks in the north gallery, to making sure we didn’t have to go up to the bar once throughout the entire night! I would highly recommend having your wedding or any other event here, and I hope I get to attend another wedding here someday!

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.

Our coordinator Kelli was very responsive and professional along the way and available all weekend for support. The terrace has unbeatable views of downtown and the price is generally cheaper than comparable hotels in the area. Food was plated and brought out quickly, delicious.
