We chose Le Meridien Columbus for both our ceremony and reception. This was the best decision we made for our wedding. In the heart of the Short North, the location is unbeatable. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous and offered our guests an excellent and upscale stay for the weekend. As the bride, my group got ready in the presidential suite, which I highly recommend. This gave us (and especially the hair & makeup teams) enough space to get ready for the day. The hotel is connected to The Guild House, so they provide all of the food for the wedding reception. The food was top tier. You have plenty of menu options to select from and you can customize the experience as much as you want. We loved it because we were all in one location and this made the timeline such a breeze. Last, the Catering Sales Mgr. Sheri was our #1 help through it all. You meet with her and the team a number of times throughout the planning process. She was so helpful and communicative with us through everything. If you are considering a location in the Short North, Le Meridien is the place to book.

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!

From there, you can go through our glass garage door to an incredible enclosed courtyard, complete with string lights, fire feature, and artificial turf. Our bar is fully stocked, and while we could try to describe the aesthetics, words don’t do it justice. Seriously. Check out the pictures. Two private dressing rooms make getting ready fun and easy. And while we don't like to brag, the restrooms here are pretty dope. Again, look at the pictures! We offer a prep kitchen for the licensed caterer of your choice to use!

The venue itself is truly stunning - the outdoor courtyard space was just steps from the dance floor and bar, creating a seamless flow for our guests. The quality of their work was exceptional, with a clean, unique, and beautiful aesthetic.
