Walnut Hall Estate has EVERYTHING (and I do mean everything!) you need for a stress free wedding weekend. I've had three daughters get married since 2019 and I've explored LOTS of venues in the process of helping choose each one... Walnut Hall beats the rest by a landslide. You just cannot find the number of amenities offered HERE, anywhere else, and it makes Walnut Hall my "forever pick" for the best place to hold a wedding! To start... you have the use of not ONE but FOUR separate areas (not to mention the beautiful "grounds" which include an old silo, koi pond, tree swing, firepit patios, outdoor light strings, etc). The most standout feature is the huge brick turn-of-the-century home that is dripping with character and photo "ops". The house truly can sleep a LOT of guests and it is very tastefully decorated. It even includes a "grooms quarters" in the basement complete with couch/tv and poker/pool tables. You have the Ceremony (former Dairy) Barn which comes complete with beautiful chandeliers and seating in the form of traditional pews as well as individual (nice) chairs. There are concrete sidewalks that link the Ceremony Barn with the Reception Venue (the white barn with huge wood doors). The reception area has absolutely everything including mens/womens restrooms, kitchen, bar, DJ area, greenery wall (which is a perfect backdrop for a dessert table). They have enough tables and chairs to seat a very large guest list (ours seated over 300 VERY comfortably!). There are long rustic wood tables for the head table (my daughter's head table seated 18!) With such a gorgeous space, MINIMAL decor is needed. The cherry on top was the ADDITIONAL guest house (which is where my daughter and her new husband spent their first night as husband and wife... wink wink:) Though it could have ALSO been a perfect place for parents/grandparents as it has two bedrooms, living room, full kitchen, etc. Add to this the fact that Brittany & Bobby (owners) were both attentive as well as AMAZING to work with and you have a combination for everything an event venue SHOULD be, but oftentimes is not! This is their passion and it shows. Due to having use of the property for the entire weekend, not only were we able to start decorating on Friday (important when you have a 20' U-Haul filled to the brim) AND we were able to host the Rehearsal Dinner "on site", which was huge in that we could "rehearse" and then just steps away have the beautiful meal, catered by The Brass Door (local restaurant who are pro's at providing services at Walnut Hall). The girls had a "girls night" in the big house on Friday and then the entire wedding party stayed on Saturday. Directly across the street is the Greene County Fairgrounds (with electric/water for anyone who might want to pull in a camper for the weekend) as well as several very nice VRBO's in the town of Carrollton. I simply could not find ONE THING that could have made our daughter's wedding any better and we are ETERNALLY grateful for that. If you're on the fence... let this help you decide...as I was not compensated in ANY WAY for this review... just a mom & dad who were 100% satisfied...you will be too! Hopefully I can come back, when we've gotten the photographer's pictures back, and post photos!

Wow! Our experience with The Hangar Wedding Event Venue has been nothing but smooth sailing from the beginning! We could not have asked for a better place to tie the knot! From how personable the owners have been throughout the process of wedding planning, to the involvement that Kara and Clay had in making our day possible, we are STILL talking about how amazing the entire experience has been. They made the process so easy! They were quick to respond in communications leading up to our wedding and were even involved in the setting up and cleaning up process! The Hangar offered a beautiful bridal suite to get ready in, a spacious indoor/outdoor reception space, a indoor ceremony space as an option for bad weather, in house bartenders ready to serve and help out wherever needed, a large variety of decor to choose from, and so much more! We were able to utilize the option for their in-house catering company, "Pullin' Pork" and Kara's signature dessert bar, which our guests are still raving about!

I honestly don't know where to begin from the beginning Heather was amazing. She was extremely helpful when touring and her prices are fair and the venue is gorgeous. Heather and Hope had amazing communication throughout the process we had it booked 2 years in advance and I always felt like I knew what was going on. At our kick off meeting to discuss vision and florals Heather saw my vision and ran with it. She did a better job than I could have even imagined. It looked straight out of a style shoot the perfect coastal garden vibes that fit the theme so well. We both have creative mindsets and I had 100% trust in her the entire process. The day of Heather was there to manage and issues and just make sure everything went smoothly and myself including my guests can say it was the best wedding we've ever been too. I still have guests a month later complimenting me on my day and how it was the most fun wedding they've attended. The flow of the venue leaves for so many cool memories and the decor is extremely customizable. 10000/10 recommend this venue!

I really can’t say enough about Jeff, Amy, Ashley, and the rest of team at Gateway Center. They did their absolute best to make our wedding spectacular. Did we have hiccups during the process? Sure. But nothing that would make me hesitate recommending them. They customize pretty much everything so that you have things exactly as you want them and take care of everything on your day so that you don’t have to worry about a thing. And they’re so flexible. I had some family who were throwing them curve balls at the last minute and they took everything in stride. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated that.

Awarded Best of Zola
The fact that people don’t know about this place blows me away. There is nowhere else to go where the owners will bring your nephew cool cars. Allow your guests to leave their vehicles on the parking lot for safety if need be, the communication, the ideas. If you are about to make an interesting wedding decision Philip will absolutely help guide you in the right direction. I know there are weddings there every weekend but the owners absolutely make you feel like your event is the only one that matters. Thank you Philip for helping our dreams to come true, and thanks for suggesting a Friday night wedding! Everyone thanked us for it!

We recently had our wedding and reception at Live! by Loews in October, and it was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, every detail was perfectly handled, and the experience exceeded all of our expectations. Our ceremony and cocktail hour took place on the Bullock Terrace, and the setting was nothing short of breathtaking. The stunning cityscape and Ballpark Village provided the exact vibe we envisioned. The terrace was beautifully prepared, creating an atmosphere our guest couldn't stop raving about. The Cardinal Ballroom for our reception was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate our 200 guests, with plenty of room for dancing and celebrating. The bar service was impeccable, and the food was a highlight of the night - everyone commented on how delicious everything was. A huge shoutout to Sydney, the venue coordinator, who was truly the icing on the cake. From our very first meeting to the wedding day itself, she went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. If everyone planning their wedding had a Sydney, no one would ever have to worry about a thing! her expertise, kindness, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Beyond Sydney, every staff member we encountered was warm, friendly, and eager to help. Their professionalism and genuine care made both us and our guests feel welcomed and valued throughout the event. If I could do it all over again, there isn't a single thing I would change. Live! by Loews was the perfect choice, and I would pick them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable.

Our wedding at the Forest Park Golf Club was absolutely outstanding! Lexi was stellar helping us when we first visited, learning about the different package options, and finding out that we could make the dream of having our wedding reception in Forest Park come true! Maddie did more than we could ever have hoped for as our coordinator, helping us with decorating ideas, arranging all of the details, and getting everything set up perfectly on the day of the reception. We made some additions the week of the wedding that the club accommodated seamlessly. They made everything as easy as it could have been. Our photographer was in an accident on the wedding day (oh no!) which pushed back the timing of the wedding. We arrived later than planned at the reception. Maddie was waiting outside with golf carts so we could immediately dash away for pictures at the Grand Basin- after she made a quick dash into the club to bring out some emergency finger nail tools! And the pictures around the Grand Basin: sunset reflecting on the water behind us… so beautiful! And the food! The drinks! The service! Everything was absolutely outstanding. Me and my bride never got our own drinks- the servers were frequently asking us for anything we would like. It truly exceeded the dreams we had of what our Forest Park wedding reception could be!

Cannot recommend the Franklin enough for a wedding! We had the ceremony and reception there for a summer wedding in July 2024. The venue was renovated beautifully but kept historic (there are many photo ops). The team was professional and extremely helpful in every way. Our guests raved about the atmosphere, food, and drinks. The room was flipped quickly during cocktail hour. The food was served efficiently, and they accommodated all guest allergies. They kept us on schedule and really made the day go smoothly. We were able to take advantage of all their resources. You’re in good hands with the Franklin and their team!
