We had our wedding at Riverbirch Farms and overall it was a great experience. The staff was kind and responsive throughout the planning process, though we did have to follow up a few times on details they forgot about. When the weather turned colder than we expected on our wedding day, they made sure we had heaters set up so our guests stayed comfortable. The venue itself is stunning and offers excellent space for the price, which was important to us. One small issue was that we paid for an extra hour but didn't end up getting it, so just be clear about timing when you book. We'd recommend Riverbirch Farms to other couples looking for a beautiful outdoor space without breaking the bank.

Venue considerations

  • Requires outside catering services
  • Does not allow pets
  • Best for events with big guest lists
Though I'm not a bride/couple that has utilized the Civic Center as a venue, I can offer a different perspective on the space. I'm a videographer, and frequently film at the Lima Civic Center. The team there has always been very professional and treated me with courtesy. They've helped out when needed (like when a counterpart needed a quiet place to deal with a medical issue). They make me feel like I'm part of their team when I'm there. I've seen how they interact with wedding patrons and families, and I would not hesitate to recommend the Civic Center to couples. I also think it's very neat and convenient to have the hotel attached. I've seen weddings in several different spaces within the building, including the main convention hall, the theater, and the lobby with tremendous natural light. In short, as a vendor I've been very pleased with my experiences at the Lima Civic Center. I frequently encourage my friends and family to inquire with the venue about having their wedding celebrations there.

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.

I wanted to get married barefoot in the woods and our anniversary is in March. Everyone thought I was crazy but The Brook was willing to work with me to make that dream come true. We had plenty of backup plans but didn't need them. The cabins were incredibly convenient for family and guests and really nicely done. The firepit became a huge focal point-we had our rehearsal dinner over a campfire and the night after the ceremony stayed up late chatting with family around the fire. It brought back so many childhood memories of doing the same growing up. And being able to include our dog was extra special. The brookside spot was the most incredible pictureseque view and we have the most amazing photos!

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.

So so so pleased with my experience at The Retreat!! Our wedding turned out better than we could have imagined thanks to the staff's hard work and attention to detail. We had a very specific vision for our wedding and they were communicative, accommodating, and went above and beyond to help us have our DREAM day!!!! We also stayed the night in the house and there was plenty of room for us and our whole bridal party and it made a perfect and stunning space for both bride and groom's sides to get ready. The house (and entire property) felt like home, exactly what we wanted and could not have asked for more!!!

Vitria was the best decision we could’ve made for our wedding! Brittany, Bryan, and Dominique made the day run so smoothly and really paid attention to every detail. 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

We hosted our multi-day wedding weekend at the Renaissance (pool party rehearsal dinner, welcome party in the bar, ceremony on the rooftop and reception in the ballroom). 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. Hospitality suites were huge and had a private patio. Highly recommend for your wedding!
