Great communication! Bridgewater Event Center called or emailed me back right away each time. It is so beautiful inside and we had amazing weather so we got to take advantage of the outdoor patio as well. The food was the talk of the wedding! I was so happy we chose what we did and our tasting was so much fun - we hung out with the chef and he was so kind. Cathy made sure every little detail was perfect for me on our special day.

The Ohioan was the most perfect venue for our Wedding! From the moment we decided, they were so helpful with all our questions and requests. Their Sales person Lindsey was wonderful with helping me with my contract. Their coordinator Ben was outstanding! He was there every step of the way and was so detail oriented! All their staff were wonderful! We had our wedding in Edgewater and everything went off without a hitch. The food and drinks were delicious. The hotel rooms were recently redone and the beds were comfy, it truly was an all inclusive venue which made planning easy!

Brookshire made our wedding planning process a breeze. Our engagement was a total of almost exactly 6 months, and we could literally not have done it if we did not book with Brookshire. They made scheduling with vendors SO easy, including a vendor preview were we were able to see the venue's examples of vendor work, sample some of the dishes on the menu, and really visualize the space. They handled my questions quickly, and concisely, and were really quite reasonably priced, considering the things you get when booking here. On the day of the wedding, everything was so smooth. The venue was set up perfectly, and any changes we needed to make were done swiftly and well. They made sure my husband and I got to sample all of the food we ordered, including each layer of cake. They truly take care of you down to the details, like bringing you a glass of water during your photos. The vendors they work with are exquisite in their own right too, the food and cake were delicious, the DJ was so professional and kind, and the florals were gorgeous. Our add-ons were amazing, and our guests LOVED the photo booth that we added. The bartenders were wonderful, and kept the drinks flowing all night without issue. Everyone left saying it was a "perfect wedding", even the hard-to-impress ones. Brookshire was truly worth every dollar spent.

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 Makoy was the perfect wedding venue for our special day. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was prompt, kind, friendly, and professional. The venue itself is spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated - exactly what we were looking for. On the day of our wedding, their day-of coordinator seamlessly handled the transition from our planned outdoor ceremony to an indoor one due to unexpected rain. They set up the space beautifully and kept us on schedule so the entire day ran smoothly. Even though it wasn't exactly how we had originally planned, the Makoy team made sure everything was perfect, and we wouldn't change a thing. Our wedding was everything we wanted and needed it to be thanks to the Makoy's incredible service and stunning venue.
