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.
