Give us a call or email us directly for more information!

We had a beautiful wedding at Hotel Covington and overall were elated with how it turned out. Riley was easy and professional to work with as our details specialist, but it felt like other staff members were never quite on the same page. There were miscommunications about so many things I can't even remember them all— no space for the groomsmen to get ready in although that was offered at the time we booked the venue, garage parking was not included although we were told it would be, when we showed up for the rehearsal the staff thought we were having a dinner not our rehearsal and was not prepared for us to be in the space as another wedding was going on on the patio, there was an "event hold" above the cost of the room placed on our credit card which would have been fine, but we were not told about it in advance. All in all, not being told what to expect was our biggest issue. Paying for garage parking, not having the space for the groom's party to get ready, the credit card hold all would have been totally fine and reasonable, but it felt like that information was intentionally omitted. (Again, there was more than that, but I waited a little too long to write this review and can't remember it all at this point.) On the flip side, the staff at Hotel Covington were extremely proactive and helpful with my dad, who has mobility issues. They provided a wheelchair for him to use on-site and staff members went above and beyond to help him when he really needed it. I am eternally grateful for the kindness they showed him and our family. We were very happy with the quality at Hotel Covington, but communication was lacking. Our day-of coordinator alluded to more issues, but she was able to handle them instead of bringing me into it. If you plan to have your wedding at Hotel Covington ask LOTS of very specific questions, have your details specialist write as much detail into your day-pf plan, and bring your own day-of coordinator to act on your behalf, and you will have a lovely day.

Fort Wright, KY

  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor

Walt's Hitching Post is a popular restaurant and private venue space in Ft. Wright, KY, minutes from downtown Cincinnati and CVG Airport. Walt’s sets the stage for couples to host an unforgettable celebration. The building, was used as a hunting lodge for Western & Southern executives in the early 1900s before being restored in 1942 by Walt Ballanger, who made his mark in the community by serving delicious smokehouse ribs. In 1958, Bill Melton purchased and successfully ran the business for 50 years. Today, Walt’s, under new ownership since 2012, continues to welcome people with a unique equestrian theme by preserving Walt's rich history and traditions. There are many photos of the late Melton's prized thoroughbreds. Walt's also showcases original exposed log walls and a cozy stone fireplace in the main dining room. Outside, the property has colorful landscaping, Walt’s Rib Smokehouse and stunning entry doors. Walt's has 4 private dining spaces that seat from 10 to 100 guests.

Walts did a wonderful job with our reception. The food was out of this world and the service was even better. The room was set up perfectly and had a plenty of space for dancing. I highly recommend Walts for any occasion.

Drees Pavilion 

5.0

Covington, KY
  • Up to 297 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

The Drees Pavilion sets the standard for event celebrations. Located on the highest overlook in Devou Park above Covington, Kentucky, the 10,000-square-foot pavilion was built and donated by The Drees Company in 2003 to commemorate its 75th Anniversary. An interior renovation was completed in March 2020, adding modern fixtures & finishes, thoughtful upgrades, and elegant furniture options.

I've been a vendor at Drees for their entire 20-year history. The obvious thing to say is the facility and view are amazing. But to me, it's the consistency with which they take care of their clients and treat the vendors like part of the team to create a perfect experience for their clients.

  • Starts at $7,500

The Event Center at Longworth Hall is a historic wedding venue located in Cincinnati, OH, boasting 100-year-old kiln-fired brick walls, high exposed beam ceilings, and wooden floors. We invite couples to try something different from cookie-cutter event halls and, instead, celebrate the occasion in a warm, luxurious loft. The Event Center at Longworth Hall’s grand two-story lobby is adorned with modern décor. The venue welcomes on-site ceremonies, or couples may host their service off-site. Afterward, newlyweds and their guests can arrive at the loft for reception celebrations. The center can host parties big and small for both an intimate event or an extravagant night of dinner and dancing. The loft can host 300 seated guests. The venue provides a professional team of planners and bartenders, as well as a list of trusted and talented caterers to choose from. The space is fully wheelchair accessible. With ample parking space that allows for a low-stress travel experience.

We had our ceremony and reception here and it was beautiful. There is a huge parking lot that made it easy for our guests who wanted to drive to do so and for our limo to pick us up. The entry way is spacious and has a security guard up front for the entire night. There was a beautiful staircase but also elevators for our guests with mobility issues. There were bathrooms both upstairs and downstairs as well. The venue itself is so beautiful we really needed minimal décor for it. There are awesome lights, barrels that were used as tables, and so much character to the space. Our bar package was through them as well. We hesitated when we saw the beer list (no IPS, craft, or seltzer options), but it ended up being perfect. Their open bar high-end option had plenty of other choices of liquor and wine our guests could also choose from and had a great time. The team did a great job – they set up all of the tables and chairs exactly like we wanted, did a great job running the bar, and gave us exactly what we needed. They were very kind and flexible with us as we asked questions throughout the process. Would highly recommend getting married here!

21c Cincinnati is a contemporary art museum hotel. This beautiful hotel is located in a building that is over 100 years old.

The hotel is situated in the center of The Queen City, across from the Aronoff Center for the Arts. Dotted with stunning art galleries and on-site installations, 21c is the perfect venue for a culturally immersive wedding experience.

21c: A modern, timeless, and elegant place to exhibit your love. Our 11:11 wishes came true when we exchanged our vows at 21c Museum Hotel this past November 11th. We hosted a private ceremony surrounded by our closest family members. The event was simple, intimate, and quite honestly–perfect. We were looking for a venue that fit our not so traditional vibe. The location, 21c, provided the most magical backdrop and we immediately knew it was the perfect place to host our #micromony. After visiting the solarium and surrounding galleries in person, we could so visualize our wedding taking place here and it felt like a dream come true. Danielle staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly so we could truly soak up the day. Their grace expertise were so appreciated during this overwhelming, beautiful slightly stressful time. Cheers to an everlasting marriage filled with happiness, laughter and lots of #LiegibelLove.

Rhinegeist has a beautiful venue set up for weddings, so much that we didn’t have to get much decor because we didn’t want to over shadow the wood and brick aesthetic, the photo opportunities around are also very unique and untraditional which was perfect for us. The beer was also great and the staff was super nice and were there for us whenever we needed them. No one seemed like they didn’t want to be there. The wedding couldn’t have gone smoother.
