Strongwater Events is a dynamic industrial wedding venue housed in the middle of a century old warehouse in the Franklinton Arts District, just outside of downtown Columbus, OH. We have three distinct spaces all connected to each other to allow for many different sized weddings. We share the warehouse with Strongwater Food & Spirits and 400 West Rich artist studios and are extremely grateful to be a part of this thriving hub of creativity! We're located just minutes from downtown Columbus and surrounded by a vibrant community. The warehouse was originally built in 1911 and has been preserved and reimagined into the chic industrial space it is today. At Strongwater, our joy is found in helping you create unforgettable moments. Our dedicated team would love to talk about your big day!

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!

Boasting a historic vibe with a verdant urban outdoor space, this German Village & Brewery District venue was built in 1873 as a trolley barn for the original Columbus streetcar system. It’s the perfect blend of industrial elegance and historic charm. We completed a renovation in June 2024, which included new contemporary chandeliers and uplighting, a new grand foyer and lounge, and of course, an urban veranda and garden that allows guests to enjoy the energy of High Street while wrapped in lush greenery and twinkling Edison café lights. Together & Company Catering & Events is our exclusive catering partner, which means your wedding reception will have style, taste, and unmatched hospitality. Upon booking, you will be introduced to your design team who will be with you every step of the way, from creating floor plans to selecting your perfect meal. We can’t wait to bring your vision to life!

Our wedding at HLHC was gorgeous. Everything flowed nicely in that space. They have excellent staff who were all so helpful in planning the perfect day. They were flexible and easy to plan with out-of-state, and they were accommodating for me to visit and see the new renovations. Kate, our day-of coordinator, did an excellent job to make sure everything went smoothly. The catering and bartending services were fantastic! I'm still getting compliments on the cocktails, haha.
