Wedding venue shopping is a lot on a couple. It takes time and energy and can be very stressful. However, when we say we found the perfect place we mean it. Donauschwaben’s was one of our venue choices coming highly recommended by our friends and family already. We reached out through their website and within no time we got an immediate response from the Christine, Event/ Wedding planner to set up a meeting together. She is not only extremely kind, but had everything organized so beautifully to choose from it was a no-brainer to choose this venue. She even recommended our DJ who had played a previous wedding there who was incredible. All communication leading up to our big day was efficient and layed out easily for us to understand. Our checks were deposited in a timely manner by the venue, our tasting was so nice and so delicious. The no pressure wedding planning was worth every penny spent. Our wedding day was so special and so beautiful from start to finish from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to our lovely reception to follow. Not only was Christine present the day of, but the staff was also on their A game all night long. Everyone was so incredibly friendly and kind, we felt like royalty. We both highly recommend this venue and if you do, definitely get the Schnitzel, Prost! The only recommendation to the venue would be to update their beverage packages to include seltzers such as High noons or White claws.

Where do I begin?! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and much of that is due to Skyler, Alexis and their incredible team at the Wenbeck, and the beautiful venue itself. Their Team was professional and always made sure that my husband and I were taken care of throughout the night and never had to worry about a single thing. Before the ceremony, John and Skyler were readily available to drive the bridal party around in the golf cart to different parts of the venue for photo ops. They made sure we were on schedule, and helped with guest arrival. We were lucky to have absolutely perfect weather on our wedding day, so we could utilize the gorgeous ceremony space between the beautiful new pavilion and the water. It was such a beautiful setting for our nuptials. The newly built pavilion was also used for guests to enter through and grab a glass of champagne from the Wenbeck’s adorable champagne cart. I mean what is better than a welcome glass of champagne?! Our guests LOVED the mini golf during cocktail hour and into the night. Everyone also took advantage of the spacious balcony on the back of the reception area to watch the most gorgeous sunset! The Wenbeck team members were there with us during our planning process right off the bat with their vendor recommendations - all of which turned out to be wonderful to work with. Their Team provided recommendations on our ceremony and reception layouts, which made it so smooth for guests to experience different aspects, from the Photo Booth, our Polaroid guest book/flower wall, etc. I cannot thank the team at Wenbeck enough for making our day absolutely perfect, and I cannot recommend the Wenbeck enough!!!

Whitehall was the perfect choice for our wedding! I was apprehensive about having a big wedding at all and was perfectly content with eloping or going to a courthouse, but ultimately decided to have a wedding for our families and the memories. Julia at Whitehall made this entire experience such a dream for my now-husband and I. She’s the venue coordinator but is also an angel that every bride deserves in the months leading up to her wedding and on her wedding day. She answered every stupid question I had very quickly, and is on top of things with sending emails to remind you about scheduling your rehearsal, nailing down your timelines, etc. One of the best parts about this venue is that you drop all of your decor off on the Tuesday before your wedding and they set everything up for you throughout the week! I literally didn’t have to think about a thing and could just spend the days before relaxing and tying up loose ends! We didn’t even nail down our vision for the centerpieces and most of the decor until 10-14 days before the ceremony, but Julia absolutely nailed it and everything was so beautiful! The day of the wedding, her assistant, Brenda, checked in on us while we got ready to make sure we were doing okay and she was the sweetest and just as organized and on top of it as Julia was. Before, during and after the ceremony, as well as during the reception, Julia checked in with my husband and I so many times to make sure we were okay and got us drinks if we needed it. She took so much off my plate mentally the week of my wedding and that was just so special and I appreciated it in ways I don’t know how to explain in 3500 characters or less. This venue has a caterer that comes with it (Taste of Excellence) who were also great to work with, and not having to make that decision was insanely helpful. I mostly dealt with Mikaela and she was very helpful with all of my questions and even accommodated us to schedule a second food tasting (something I don’t think they normally do) because my parents wanted to completely change the food options after the first tasting lol. Whitehall also has a DJ company included (Selective Sound Entertainment) who were great as well! Their online portal to actually select your song requests is a little dated and, you only get 8 “must play” songs, and the rest are more like suggestions for the DJ during the party but to be honest our DJ Jordan kept it bumping all night and it was SO fun he even had the bartender dancing with us from her station! I really couldn’t imagine doing our wedding anywhere else. I can’t recommend it enough and I’ll scream it into the sky for anyone who will listen!

I got married here 9/11/22. The amount of work that this venue puts in from the day you tour the venue to the end of your reception is incredible. This was the first and only venue my husband and I toured and we fell in love immediately. The space is gorgeous, the ambiance is both romantic and friendly, and the courtyard landscaping is a dream. The greenhouse is open and rustic and breathtaking. Evin, our coordinator, went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I had the best experience ever. The serving staff, the bartenders, the caterers, and the floral design staff all worked in harmony to create our perfect wedding. Communication through all facets - from billing, to coordinating, to catering - was simple and easy. My husband and I can't stop talking about how beautiful this place is, and the amount of compliments we received during our reception blew me away. It’s a bit on the pricey side - 8,400 for a Sunday (cheapest day), and around 6k for catering, plus staffing costs. We did passed appetizers and plated style, so other options in their packages might be cheaper. But you get what you pay for!!! I do not regret spending a single cent on this venue. They made every penny worth it.

The staff were very professional and kind. Even when we had a few bumps in the road, staff was more than willing to help us out! The venue is gorgeous as well and the decorators did a fantastic job setting up my decor. The wedding felt very low stress because everything was being handled so well! The food was so good, too.

We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding experience.

From the moment we booked our wedding at The Oscar Event Center, the team there was prompt, friendly, and thorough in their communication. I had the opportunity and joy to work with Izzy and I'd recommend her whole heartedly. She were incredibly helpful in accommodating the dietary restrictions of about 20 of our guests, going above and beyond to ensure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of. We also had a fairly large wedding (200ish people) and Izzy let me be super flexible with table sizes since so many families/groups of friends would not fit in the standard 8 person round top. The venue itself was a blank slate that allowed us to truly make the space our own, with multiple options for seating areas and a delicious catering menu that our guests raved about. And the best part? There was no cost for the room rental, making The Oscar Event Center an incredible value for the quality of service and amenities they provided. Oscar Event Center only requires you to meet a minimum spend per person which was unbelievable. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue to celebrate our special day.

We truly cannot thank you and all of the staff at Scioto Reserve enough! You have been amazing throughout the entire process, and made the planning process so smooth. We couldn’t have done it without all of your advice and guidance. There really isn’t one thing that went wrong on wedding day, or if there was, everyone was so on top of things that it never even made it back to me. THANK YOU to everyone for being so kind and accommodating on Saturday! There wasn’t once thing I asked for that wasn’t handled immediately and with positivity. The room flip process was so impressive and efficient! We truly could not have chosen a better venue for our wedding, and we wish we could relive the day!

We were married at Hotel Covington in September 2024 and it was hands down one of the best decisions we have ever made. We knew we wanted a fully outdoor wedding with food and drink provided on-site, and HC provided exactly that. I could go on forever about how wonderful every single person was – Ashley was amazing getting us started with HC, then seamlessly handed us over to Riley who was with us until the day of the wedding. The staff was attentive to our needs, and we were so bummed when the night was over. All our guests (including our sweet doggie) felt incredibly welcome. We have officially made it a point to visit Hotel Covington every few months for drinks, and plan to stay there again for our anniversary. Thank you to the entire team at HC : )
