Planning a wedding in Columbus means choosing from a fast-growing list of places. This guide covers 233 wedding venues in 46 towns across Franklin, Delaware, Licking, Fairfield, Union, Madison and Pickaway counties, from downtown, German Village and the Short North out to Dublin, Westerville, New Albany, Hilliard, Grove City, Granville, Lancaster and Delaware. You'll find downtown cathedrals and neighborhood parish churches, converted warehouses and loft spaces, historic hotels, country clubs, barns and farms, and the city and Metro Parks where couples go for their wedding photos and video.

Many couples here hold a church wedding ceremony in the afternoon and a reception at a hall, hotel or club that evening. Others want everything in one place, and plenty of the venues on this list can host your ceremony, your pictures and your reception without anyone getting back in the car. The outer belt makes most drives short, but leave time in your timeline if your ceremony and reception sit on opposite sides of town.

Use the filters to narrow the list by type of venue or by town. Each venue has its own page with a description, contact details and directions, and real wedding photos and videos from local photographers and videographers as they add their work.

Church wedding venues in the Columbus area

A church wedding ceremony is still the tradition for many Columbus couples. Downtown, Trinity Episcopal Church on Capitol Square welcomes couples who aren't members, and First Congregational Church on East Broad Street seats up to 500 and can host a reception in its Parish Hall. St. Mary, Mother of God in German Village has its own wedding guidelines, and the suburbs add large parishes in Dublin, Westerville, Powell and New Albany. Many Catholic parishes ask you to get in touch six months or more before your wedding day, and some churches welcome only members, so call early and ask.

Banquet halls and event centers for your wedding reception

Columbus is known for turning old industrial buildings into wedding venues. Brick warehouses and loft spaces in the Short North, Italian Village and Franklinton host receptions with tall windows and exposed beams, while places like the Ohio Statehouse and the Franklin Park Conservatory give your day a landmark setting. Out in the suburbs, banquet and event centers handle dinner and dancing for large guest lists.

Barn, farm and winery wedding venues

For a country wedding, look north into Delaware County, east into Licking County or south toward Lancaster. Barns, farms and estates around Sunbury, Galena, Granville, Johnstown and the Hocking Valley edge of Fairfield County host ceremonies on their grounds and receptions in restored barns, often with everything on one property.

Hotel, club and resort wedding venues

Hotels and clubs keep the day easy for guests coming from out of town. Downtown has historic choices like the Westin Great Southern and Hotel LeVeque in the city's best-known tower, plus ballrooms at the Hyatt Regency, Hilton and Renaissance. Country clubs in Dublin, Westerville, Worthington and New Albany host receptions too, though some ask about membership or a sponsor, and not every club holds ceremonies on site.

Parks and gardens for your ceremony and wedding photos

Parks are where many Columbus couples go for their wedding photos and video, and several host ceremonies. Columbus Recreation and Parks books ceremony sites at Schiller Park in German Village, the Topiary Garden, Goodale Park's gazebo and the Park of Roses at Whetstone Park, and the Metro Parks add spots like the Rose Garden at Inniswood Metro Gardens. Park ceremonies need a permit or follow park rules on guest numbers, chairs and sound, so read each venue's page before you plan.

Next: find someone who has worked at your venue

Once you have a venue in mind, look for photographers and videographers who have already worked there. They'll know where the light falls in the church, how long the drive from the ceremony to the reception really takes, and which spots on the grounds work best for wedding photos and video. Every venue page shows the local photographers and videographers with work from that place.
