Ohio Statehouse

ce and charm. We had a winter wedding and having candles within the space was so magical (not to mention the giant Christmas tree within the space). The venue alone is such a beautiful and unique space, but the staff who works there is what really brings such amazing value to booking this venue. We worked with Victoria at the Statehouse and she was such an amazing support system throughout the entire process. She truly cared about our vision and was always willing to hop on a call to talk through layout, details, you name it! I can't thank her enough for being by my side during the planning process and on the wedding day!

experience.

the most stunning and unique wedding venue. The coordinator was professional and easy to work with. 10 out of 10. I wish I could have another wedding just to party here again!! We booked about 1.5 years out and there were only 3 dates left for 2024 when we booked in 2023, SO get on it!

mmunicative, and organized. She did a great job of bringing all of our vendor teams together to make sure the day ran smoothly. The Statehouse is definitely not the easiest venue to get in and out of from a guest POV, but we had nothing but positive feedback from our guests and that is a big testament to the preparedness of the Statehouse team. They were also incredibly helpful in coordinating some last minute details in the ceremony space! Highly recommend this venue and the team!

s not only raved about the beauty of the architecture, but also at just how unique and historical of a place it is to have a wedding. It's definitely not your average wedding venue and that's what we loved about it so much. Besides the building being absolutely breathtaking, here are some other aspects about this wedding venue that are important to know and as a result made for an easy wedding planning experience: - Angela is amazing at what she does and I have heard her other coworker, Taylor, is just as professional. Those girls know how to run a wedding! - It is extremely fair priced. - They were very accommodating towards a rehearsal. In fact, Angela ran the whole thing and it was super quick and easy. -The architecture speaks for itself, so you do not have to go above and beyond with décor and flowers. - You can set up the day before (this was huge!) - You can stay at one venue to get all your pictures done. - Free parking in the garage underneath the venue (my out of town guests who don't know how the city works loved this) Con's to the venue which clearly aren't that much of a concern because I still booked with them so fast! - The parking garage only has a 6'6" clearance. I had a few guests with pretty average trucks unable to park in the garage and were late because they couldn't fit. - The biggest downfall, you cannot get ready (hair and makeup) at this venue. We had to do hair and makeup offsite and then we got dressed at the Statehouse. - We only had our ceremony here and were not allowed to bring any food or drinks inside the building since we didn't have a caterer. This sucked because I wish we all could have just had some Jimmy Johns before the ceremony. - No floral or food drop off the day before.

The historical charm of the building was the perfect touch to make our big day come to life as we were envisioning. We really loved that it did not need much decorating because all of the rooms are so beautiful on their own. We received so many compliments from our guests. Everyone we worked with at the statehouse leading up to our wedding day was amazing. HUGE shout out to our coordinator, Taylor Wegman. She was beyond helpful from day one - extremely organized, great communication, very knowledgable, and an overall joy to be around. She handled all of our vendor communication and coordination and the organization of our day-of set up and tear down (plus so much more behind the scenes). Our wedding day really would not have been possible without her. We are so thankful to have had her as our coordinator which allowed everything to run so smoothly!

are quick to respond, and are a pleasure to work with. We received so many compliments from our guests about what a beautiful venue this was! You cannot beat the location in downtown Columbus as well. Very close to lots of hotels and restaurants and convenient for out-of-town guests! I 100% recommend!

t. It's rare to find someone and a venue who supports you and the vision in every way possible, but Angela exceeded our expectations to the highest degree. She brought so much joy to our day and worked incredibly well with the rest of our team. She constantly kept them in the loop to execute the perfect day, responded quickly to emails and never made us feel as if we were asking for too much. Most of all, she allowed us to enjoy our day and be fully present which is something we are forever grateful for. On the best day of your life you want to work with the best in the business. Book The Ohio Statehouse now and go meet Angela. It's as simple as that!

ow busy she is. I can’t believe how fantastic she did at all the decoration from the day before to clean-up! All of my guests thought the Statehouse was a unique and beautiful venue for a wedding. It’s a special place for your special occasion. The parking is so easy for guests. I would highly recommend anyone consider having their wedding at the Statehouse, as you won’t be disappointed and there is plenty of opportunity to make it your own!

ays out meeting to go over the event details. Our guests were so impressed by the beauty of the rotunda for cocktail hour and atrium for the reception. Everything went smoothly from my perspective, and I'm so glad we chose to get married here!

. Everything about our day was great and I wouldn't change a thing. Our coordinator, Marybeth was so attentive and so great at communicating with us. She was always willing to jump on a phone call when needed, and responded promptly to emails. She truly went above and beyond our expectations. Everything was extremely organized and ran so smoothly and all of our guests were impressed. I can't recommend this venue and what it has to offer enough.

to. The venue planning team was incredible and took care of all of the behind the scenes details on the day of, along with helping with set up and clean up. Highly recommend!

art to finish. An excellent choice for your Columbus, Ohio wedding.

g day went smoothly. My husband and I live out of state so we were unable to make trips back to Columbus to discuss details. Haley made the whole planning process easy by frequently communicating with us regarding the logistics and details. I want to relive this day over and over again! Without a doubt I would recommend this venue and Haley as the coordinator to any other couple!

an amazing hard worker for us and we so appreciated it! Everything looked very elegant, just as we wanted. The work you and your team did to help set up and get us out at night was more than we could have asked for. You are the best. Thank you so much!

ess. We had both our ceremony and reception on site and both were beautiful. I would highly recommend having your wedding and or reception at the Statehouse. Everything the day of the wedding went smooth having their staff take care of it all. All of my vendors such as catering, florist and DJ commented how much they enjoy working with the statehouse because of the diligent staff. Our guests consistently complimented how beautiful the venue was. Planning a wedding was enjoyable with such a beautiful wedding venue and great coordinators to work with.

ranging from Manhattan to San Antonio. I recommend Milo's for the catering and djsharaya@gmail.com for the music.

o awesome and easy to work with. She is a total pro and can make anything happen. Our guests loved the venue. It’s the perfect backdrop for photos, a great location, and full of history. The little details- getting ready rooms, cocktail hour space, included coordinator etc- really go a long way.

que, the staff helped make the day memorable for us and our guests!

atehouse itself. Our wedding guests were blown away. It’s a no brainer for any couple choosing a reception revenue. The Ohio Statehouse is the obvious best choice, and it is the most unique venue in Columbus. I recommend it to anyone looking for an event venue.

tehouse wedding coordinator did SO much to help. Our wedding coordinator was Angela. Angela coordinated with vendor’s, setup the venue, and planned the details of the wedding day. I’ve always heard wedding planning and your wedding day were extremely stressful situations, but with all the help Angela provided – this was not the case for us. Thanks to Angela we had a perfect wedding at the Ohio Statehouse, and the gorgeous venue left our guests in awe.

process. We had the cocktail hour and dancing in the Atrium and dinner in the Rotunda. It was stunning. The Rotunda is probably the most beautiful room in the city, if not State. Our guests were in awe.

aspects of the wedding reception. I highly recommend both the Statehouse and Haley as the coordinator!

s have not stopped talking about the experience they all had at our wedding. From start to finish the entire experience was amazing. The wedding coordinator Hayley was extremely organized and professional the entire time. Our experience at the Ohio Statehouse will never be forgotten. They made all of our daughter's wedding dreams come true.

g with Angela who managed every detail for us throughout our 15 month planning process. She responded promptly to all of my emails or phone calls and managed/coordinated our vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding and the day of the event. We had multiple meetings with her in which she discussed details of the day that I never would have thought of, which was very much appreciated. On the day of our wedding, I never had a single person or vendor come to me with a question or concern, Angela handled everything so I could enjoy the day and it was perfection. At the end of the night Angela coordinated clean up, vendor exits etc. While the Statehouse may be a bit on the pricier end of venue, the beauty of the venue and the unparalleled experience of working with their staff was well worth it for us. We would recommend to anyone we know getting married in the Columbus, Ohio area.

at ease, and comfortable. She became more like a friend than anything else. We absolutely LOVED every minute of planning with her and every time we stepped into the one and only Ohio Statehouse, I couldn't help but smile out of sheer joy!

everything in stride and made it our perfect day! The Statehouse is a perfect place to have a big wedding, everyone was accommodated wonderfully, and we loved it so, so much.

charts and maps of the seating and decorations and everything was executed perfectly. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a traditional elegant space.

nd it went without a hitch. Haley was very accommodating with the planning and we really appreciated it! Even though it was thunderstorming during our wedding, Haley executed a perfect rain plan (part of the ceremony was outside) and everything went extremely well. Thanks so much to Haley and the Statehouse staff!

ilding speaks for itself. Secondly, the Ohio Statehouse employees, especially Angela, our wedding coordinator, was so detail oriented, kind, organized, and patient! Cannot wait to re-live this day with pictures!

ht are just beautiful. And the high ceilings give it such an open feeling. It has a very classy feel and minimal decorating is required. We had our cocktail hour in the Rotunda and reception in the Atrium. Gives your guests two great room environments in one evening. I can't say one bad thing about our experience. The entire staff is amazing. Haley is their coordinator and she is nothing short of awesome. She made everything super easy. Every meeting was planned thoughtfully and always productive. She made sure she received everything from us a long the way so that we stayed on track. She connected with all of our vendors and made sure they knew everything they needed to know. On Friday we dropped everything off to her and by the time we arrived to the Statehouse on Saturday, she had delivered our vision. We had our ceremony a month earlier and wanted to show a highlight video. Haley and her team had a whole plan to have it play on 6 TVs around the room. It was perfect. We used Milos Catering for both the alcohol and food. The Statehouse and Milos work extremely well together so again, another seamless part of the planning. The rooms for the bridal parties to get ready in are very nice. There’s even a private restroom where the bride/bridesmaids get ready. A huge perk for those who have a big dress and don’t want to deal with the bathroom along with the invited guests. Our whole evening went perfect. We were able to enjoy ourselves with our guests the entire night. By the time we said good bye to the last guests, Haley and her team already had every item packed up on our carts to take down to our cars. After a very long day, the last thing you want to do is spend another hour or so packing stuff up. We didn’t have to do any of that. We got our cars to the loading dock, loaded, and left. It was so easy. I could go on about other great stuff, but I think I’ve made my point. You will be very thankful this is your venue when it’s all over with. I know we are! :)

ning process and wedding day run very smoothly.

assic, elegant, and historic landmark. Our guests enjoyed the cocktail hour in the Rotunda followed by dinner and dancing in the Atrium. Working with Sophie Chase as our planner was the most incredible process from start to finish. She is truly a standup professional, and I felt like I was planning our wedding reception itinerary and details with a dear friend. She went above and beyond and exceeded all of our expectations with her excellent organization, communication, follow-up, and poise on our wedding day. She was a calming presence for us as the bride and groom, our families, wedding party, and all involved. Sophie, the Milo's catering staff, wedding vendors she recommended, and the Ohio Statehouse security officers were all amazing to help make our day run smoothly. The Ohio Statehouse is absolutely stunning and we are beyond happy we chose it as our wedding reception venue.

meeting Sophie, any reservation we had was immediately erased. Her amazing personality and flawless coordination abilities made our wedding day flawless. It truly was the best day of our lives this far and we have Sophie Chase and the Ohio Statehouse to largely thank for making a dream come true. Thank you for your amazing talent and the amazing venue...we will never forget it!

he atrium was a picturesque reception area. With all of the architecture, decorating really only needed to consist of lighting, flowers and table-scape to compliment how gorgeous the venue already is. Guests commented on its grandeur and enjoyed tours before cocktail hour. Sophie Chase was the best coordinator and took care of countless details on the day-of. She is a god-send.

he granite columns, the amount of natural light, and the history. It lends itself to a very romantic setting. But we owe a huge thank you to Sophie Chase who made sure our day was truly special!! Sophie is simply amazing and one of the nicest and most genuine people you will meet! She is exceptional at her job and I mean exceptional. She made sure we had everything we needed and wanted for our big day. I would highly recommend the Ohio Statehouse to everyone!

ping everything on track so the ceremony ran smoothly. The venue and grounds couldn’t be more beautiful but Sophie’s coordination and attention to detail was really what made the ceremony perfect!

are from Columbus, OH but currently live in Austin, TX. Needless to say, in the beginning of our planning process I was worried about planning an out of state wedding and concerned that my expectations would not be met. Sophie made all of my worries disappear and the Statehouse went above and FAR beyond my expectations for a venue. All of my guests kept saying how beautiful the Statehouse was and how perfect the amount of space was. We had cocktail hour in the breathtaking rotunda, dinner in the atrium with beautiful uplighting on the pillars, and cocktail tables set up on the back patio. With this venue, you really get everything (indoor and outdoor experience) and plenty of space! It was so elegant and classic yet very modern feel as well. I keep saying I wish I could relive that night...it was so magical and just a dream come true (Cliche, but so accurate). Sophie Chase is a rock star and I cannot thank her enough for everything she did for not only me but my family and friends as well! Beyond pleased with my experience. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

t the Statehouse) is incredible. We didn't need a wedding planner for our day because she was so helpful that we essentially would have hired someone to manager her, which did not make sense . She made sure everything was seamless, she was so responsive, and was able to help us with anything we needed leading up and on the big day. We were planning from afar, and she made it so easy to do so. The setting is beautiful. The stateroom where the girls and I got ready was so beautiful and rich in history - you have two littler personal bathrooms as well which really helps! My husband and the guys really loved the room they were in as well. We got so many compliments on how beautiful cocktail hour was in the Rotunda. Our wedding was black tie so the space was really conducive for that attire. The Atrium space for the reception was perfect as well. So much space and the ceilings are beautiful and let just the right amount of light in. Sophie helped us through so many different options for floor plan until we narrowed to the best one! We had a tuscan table going down the middle of the room with tables surrounding us and it felt like we were close to everyone which we loved. We also made use of the terrace outside the Atrium for a cigar roller. It was also a big hit with our guests! What's nice about the Statehouse is that it's centrally located. We had guests at the Renaissance and Sheraton - all less than a block walk from the reception. Our after part was a block away as well - it made transportation so easy (everyone just walked!). This venue is incredible and I could go on and on ... honestly - you will get five start treatment here!

other venues! It was also one of the most elegant venues I could find and there was so much space. I had a wedding of 250 and it did not feel crowded at all. The Statehouse comes with a wedding coordinator-- Sophie-- who is incredible! She handled everything from start to finish. I never had to worry about anything because Sophie was in constant contact with all my vendors making sure timing/pricing/and finalizations were all handled. She decorated the Statehouse the exact way I envisioned it would be-- it felt like a dream wedding! Also, she made sure everything flowed smoothly the entire night. By the end of the night, she had packed up all the decorations and centerpieces without me even noticing she was doing so because everyone else was busy dancing! I had so many people reach out to me the next day saying it was the most beautiful wedding they've been to. I would pick the Statehouse time and time again for my wedding venue.. highly recommend!!

inside and outside, are absolutely gorgeous and there are so many different areas to choose from. It is definitely someplace that your guests will be excited to see! So many of our guests have lived in Columbus their whole lives but had never been to the Statehouse, let alone to the Statehouse for a wedding! They offer tours to the guests which is a great way to keep them entertained between the ceremony and reception. The Statehouse wedding coordinator, Sophie, is truly an irreplaceable asset. She helped me every step of the way and was super accommodating with everything. Her warm and friendly personality, as well as reassuring and confident attitude, made me feel at ease that the day was going to go exactly as planned. She made sure that everything was organized before, during, and after the event and I could not imagine planning a wedding without her help. Having my wedding reception at the Ohio Statehouse made for a dream come true! It truly was all I could imagine and more!
