    Donauschwaben's German-American Cultural Center in Olmsted Falls is such a beautiful venue and was perfect for our daughter’s wedding! The staff were easy to work with, always available, and happy to walk us through any detail. The outdoor terrace was also available, complete with tables and chairs to relax while viewing a beautiful lake. The food was absolutely delicious. All quests were served dinner quickly and we got a lot of compliments on the food. The drinks were incredible and the bar service was fast. There was an open bar and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Finally, the wedding wouldn’t have come together without the hard work from Christine, Event Manager at Donauschwaben, for handling all the reception details to perfection! We couldn’t have done it without you!

    Donauschwaben's German-American Cultural Center was a wonderful choice for our wedding reception. From the moment we first reached out, the event planner Christine was phenomenal - she was extremely thorough, responsive, and did everything she could to ensure our day was exactly as we had envisioned. The venue itself is inviting and spacious, with lovely grounds that provided a beautiful backdrop for our celebration. While the rental fee was on the pricier side, the quality of the work and the value we received was well worth it. All of our guests raved about the delicious food served, though we were disappointed we couldn't take home any leftovers., but we knew this in advance. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and the wedding reception was exceptionally pleasant, thanks to the cordial and helpful staff who made our special day truly memorable.

  • A Perfect Day!

    We had the absolute best experience at Donauschwaben’s German-American Cultural Center for our wedding! From start to finish, everything was seamless and stress-free—thanks in large part to Christine, our coordinator. We truly could not have asked for someone better. She was kind, helpful, incredibly flexible, and always on top of communication. Christine answered every question we had (and there were many!), and she constantly looked for ways to ease the planning process for us. She made everything feel so easy. The event staff was just as impressive—friendly, attentive, and professional. The reception was everything we had dreamed of and more. The grounds were beautiful and made the perfect backdrop for our celebration. The food was served hot, in generous portions, and absolutely delicious—we received so many compliments from our guests! Without hesitation, we would recommend Donauschwaben’s to anyone planning a wedding. It was the perfect venue for our perfect day!

  • A great wedding reception venue.

    Our wedding reception at the German-American Cultural Center was absolutely perfect! Our coordinator, Christine, was excellent, paid attention to every detail of our decorating scheme and made many helpful suggestions. When we showed up for the reception, the hall was set up exactly as we had requested. The planning process was easy with Christine and she executed every aspect. The hall was in beautiful condition, clean, and spacious with plenty of room for eating, mingling, and dancing. The bar service was outstanding and the bartenders were phenomenal, fast, friendly, and knowledgeable about cocktail mixing. We especially liked the outdoor patio area where our guests played cornhole, smoked, or just enjoyed a break from the music overlooking the lovely grounds, including a pond with a fountain. The food was probably the best we've ever had at a wedding reception. So many guests loved the schnitzel, spaetzle, and gravy. Our gluten-free guests were presented with a special plate without even having to ask for it. Another great feature of this venue is the lobby area with a fireplace and lovely stone mantel which served as a great backdrop for group photos of reception guests. There was ample parking as well. I cannot recommend this venue enough, you will not be disappointed! Jennifer Hinton Mother of the Groom
