From the moment we inquired about Arlington Acres, Sarah and her team were extremely tentative, kind, and thoughtful in their communication. The venue itself is spacious, clean, and easy to decorate, providing excellent value for our wedding. When the weather unexpectedly turned for the worse, I couldn't thank Sarah enough for giving us time to see if it would change, and then being so kind and supportive in quickly shifting everything to the stunning Old Barn at the last minute. The smooth transition and beautiful, versatile spaces with a rustic-modern feel made our day even more perfect than we could have imagined. Our guests raved about the seamless flow from ceremony to reception. We are so grateful to Sarah and the entire Arlington Acres team for their calm, supportive presence that made our special day absolutely wonderful.

We had our wedding here on 10.26.2024 and it was the most magical, perfect day. The venue/planning team was so kind and responsive throughout the entire planning process (we booked the venue in March of ‘22 so, many questions were asked). The ‘rental room’ they offer relieves SO much stress of trying to find decorations and signage, I highly recommend adding it. The list of vendors they give you is a BIG help, utilize it. Our event manager was truly wonderful the day of, we are incredibly thankful to have had her help. A special addition to having a wedding here is being able to stay in a treehouse connected to the Grand Barn AND have friends & family stay at the venue the night of the wedding. How neat is it that your guests can just walk back and go to bed after a night of celebration and laughter?! I truly could not imagine a more beautiful venue to get married at. Everything exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to come back and stay again!

The Beverly Mansion is a gorgeous venue with an accommodating staff that helped make our wedding day special. Their primary communication method is email, which allows them to respond clearly and concisely to questions. For the quality and beautiful historic spaces that The Beverly offers, they are very reasonably priced, especially for the Columbus area. Guests were even taking photos of the venue to get ideas for their own future events! On our wedding day, The Beverly's team helped set up all of the tables, chairs, linens and dishware. Even when I made last-minute changes the day-of, they were extremely flexible and helpful. Our wedding was beautiful thanks in large part to The Beverly Mansion. I cannot recommend them highly enough for weddings or other events.

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!

We absolutely loved our wedding venue at both the Chapel and Hotel for Grand Pacific Junction. The two venue coordinators, Jessica and Erinn, were very knowledgeable and helped keep the event running smoothly. They went above and beyond with various scheduling and logistic challenges among our vendors. The space in the hotel itself was beautiful and required very little decorations to bring it to life. There were two restrooms downstairs and one upstairs. For our 100ish person wedding, I was worried bathrooms would be a logistic issue, but it was not! The bar was our favorite part of the venue with its vintage style and wide layout, so bar lines were never a problem. Every one of their recommended vendors exceeded our expectations. If I were to give advice to another couple looking to book Grand Pacific Junction, my only suggestion is keep in mind you likely won't have access earlier than the contracted time period, so adjust accordingly and keep your decorations simple, or better yet hire or appoint someone to do them! Decorations took longer than expected, and it altered the photography timeline which wasn't a big deal, but do keep it in mind. Thanks again to Jessica and Erinn for keeping everything running smoothly in the background and making sure my husband and I were truly hands off and enjoying ourselves the entire evening.

She kept us up to date on any offerings they had available and was quick to offer additional services if she felt it would make the day better.
