“The wedding planner, her name is Kelly too, here is a doll. She made us feel welcome from the first visit with wine and welcome packet. Fell in love with the possibilities of the space instantly.

When it came down to it they knew exactly what we wanted and our day of coordinator, Libby, was fantastic. She asked us as well as our parents and bridal party several times throughout the day if there was anything we needed. Overall, we were so impressed and so thankful we chose them because it was truly the best day.”

Nationwide Hotel & Conference Center 

5.0

Lewis Center, OH

  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

Our venue has the beauty and flexibility of a country club, the convenience and quality of a fine hotel, and the creativity of award-winning on-site catering. With our 15-acre campus, there are numerous options to choose for your wedding with our three distinct ballrooms and two outdoor ceremony locations. In addition, all our ballrooms do have the capability to have an indoor ceremony option.

“We love working with couples at Nationwide Hotel for several reasons. First, it is logistically so much easier for couples to have everything taking place in one location. They can stay overnight the night before, get ready there, ceremony, photos, reception, and then afterward all of their guests can stay right there. This means there is no need to coordinate guest transportation, off-site hotels, bridal party transportation for photos, or have an elongated break for photography after the ceremony since it is much faster to do on site. Second, there are plenty of outdoor spaces for couples or bridal party photos if it rains! This is a huge advantage that not all venues have and rain is a real concern for an Ohio wedding. Third, there is a variety of spots on the property for doing group or couples photos. You can have the look of brick, green lawn, the beautiful pergola with all the greenery, the iconic covered walkway, some flowers, a tree-lined area where the leaves change colors SO perfectly in the Fall, and of course the fountain! By the way, the pond is amazing for sunset photos! We have been at Nationwide many times as photographers and always had a great experience. The food was always hot and served on schedule, and their staff is so friendly and genuinely wants to create the best experience for their guests. You cannot go wrong with any of their event spaces!”

The whole place is beautiful from the entry to the ball room and outside space down to the locker room/dressing areas where we got ready. We worked with Tyger through every detail and she is absolutely fantastic at what she does. She made everything so easy. The day of was literally stress free for us!! She kept everything rolling and made sure everyone knew exactly what they were doing. Dinner was amazing. We had mahi-mahi, chicken marsala, and braised short ribs with macaroni and cheese and red potatoes. EVERYONE still talks about how good the food was. The whole experience was better than I could have imagined! We are so happy that we picked The Golf Club at Little Turtle for our wedding. We highly recommend them!”
