Jen was spectacular and helped make everything we could have dreamed of a reality. We dropped all our stuff off the night before and let them do their stuff and it was perfect. We also held our rehearsal dinner here the night before and it was great. The food for both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding was spectacular! We heard so many great things about the venue and the food from all our guests. If you are thinking about touring and having your wedding here I can't recommend it enough!

The space had plenty of outlets and allowed us "to make it our own" with color LED lights on the walls and taking advantage of their ceiling-mounted projectors to create a fun dance floor.

In 1945 a hard-working farmer, Thomas Hricovec had a vision to cater to families with a welcoming atmosphere. His wife, Mary, stood by him and dedicated her time to help him in their journey. The two worked together along with family & friends to make their dream come true. Using their farmland, the Hricovecs changed their lifestyle from farming food, to serving food as well. They broke ground in 1958 and celebrated their first wedding in the fall of 1959. Thomas & Mary instilled the importance of hard work and dedication in their family. Now, third-generation owner Bill Hricovec, a culinary graduate of Johnson & Wales, along with our team, integrates traditional family recipes with a mix of new and innovative menu selections to offer you a wide variety of choices.

Ashley, our coordinator, was always so helpful and patient, never getting annoyed with my endless questions. The quality of their work and overall value was great - the food was delicious, the bartenders were fantastic, and honestly the whole staff was wonderful and willing to help with anything we needed. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our special day. Highly recommend Tom's Country Place!

Whitehall Columbia was the perfect venue for our wedding! The communication with their event coordinator, Julia, was always easy, fast, and professional which made the wedding planning and day everything we have always wanted. The venue itself is beautiful, clean, and classy - perfect for a wedding. The chapel has gorgeous chandeliers, massive windows, and great natural light. Their staff was attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly on our big day. I cannot thank Julia enough. Without her, the whole wedding wouldn’t have been exactly what we dreamed of. My husband and I have talked about the day over and over again. Nothing could’ve been better. For the quality of the venue and service, Whitehall Columbia offered insane value. Really could not be any better. We would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a venue that has it all.
