Awarded Best of Zola
Huge thank you to the entire staff of the Makoy, who particularly Matt, Erin and Adrian who made sure that our wedding went smoothly and everything was perfect. Everyone was so nice and helpful. It was so appreciated when there are so many things to keep in mind and so many tasks to cross off your list. They made everything so much easier! The way everything came together looked absolutely wonderful and exceeded our expectations by far. The decor was done so beautifully and we were very impressed. The food was amazing, the bartender was great and super friendly and every single guest made comments to me about how wonderful the event was and how nice the venue was. We could not be any happier with our decision to get married at the Makoy. It was absolutely perfect!!!

This place has a beautiful rustic feel, bar games, and just all around great atmosphere. We didn't even decorate anything! They had plenty of tables with nice black covers to make them more upscale. The murals bring so much life into the room. I had so many compliments on the space! Josh was very easy to work with throughout the planning process! The drinks were delicious, the staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating! I would choose this place all over again in a heartbeat.

I absolutely love working with Strongwater. Each year, I design several weddings in that space and the staff and catering team are always so friendly and helpful. I got married at Strongwater in 2016 and my family and friends still tell us how great of a time they had. Since then, I've designed weddings all over Columbus but this by far is my favorite venue. It's got all of the perfect industrial, raw charm for today's modern couples!

My husband Alex and I got married at Mozart’s on May 25th of this year, and it was one of the best decisions we ever made in our entire wedding planning process, and our wedding was absolutely PERFECT!!! Janelle, Mozart’s wedding coordinator is absolutely amazing and was there for us every step of the way of the process of planning our wedding and ensured that everything went as smoothly as possible and exactly the way we wanted it! 3 She and Anand did everything in their power to make our wedding dreams come true with such kindness and unparalleled professionalism and I would highly recommend anyone looking for a wonderful place to get married with amazing food, classy and romantic old-world European ambiance, and the most delicious European wedding cake and other desserts to look no further, THIS is where you wanna go!
