e changed-I moved it to the same weekend in 2022 from 2021. I happily paid the differences in fees, which were an increase, but not an insane increase. After that though, it was a great relationship and amazing experience! Katie S. and her team were.. outstanding. Jeremy and Jeannie, her assistants, were patient, intelligent, and have a wonderful ability to appear when needed. (Which is wonderful for brides who are also herding cats- I mean their family members.) Aaron, who helped the night of, did a great job of keeping the two weddings going on separate but never in a rude way (well done!) So prospectives- DO NOT WORRY if there might be another wedding going on in the other hall- they nailed it! Also, to add to this, Katie literally took all of this on a few months before the event, after all of pandemic stress, as my original coordinator moved on to another job. So, A+. Past the people I can name, every staff member I ran into was pleasant and helpful. The venue is beautiful, and it is very clearly well-kept. It was completely back to perfectly clean when I came back to get my belongings. (Ps- The fact that I was able to return the MONDAY afterwards... Ohmygosh) ALSO, another shoutout to Katie- She organized all of the left over food from the event to be distributed to shelters amongst the city. A+++++. My other vendors report that the team was easy to work with. The food was delicious. I got so many compliments that it was the best wedding meal they've ever had. AND IT WAS SO GOOD! Not only did I get to eat at my reception (sometimes the couple just.. doesn't have time) but they also set aside plates as a take home for us, which I just loved. Yum! Basically, it started stressful, but the team MORE than came through. And honestly, to be able to "come back" and absolutely impress me, my husband, and our family and friends.. I can't gush enough. 10/10. Also, the included parking was so helpful!

reached out to my planner and she spoke with the owners and we were able to postpone our wedding to the following year. Right then and there I knew we chose the right venue. As an event planner, I would highly recommend the Cincinnati Club to anyone who is looking for a venue. From the wonderful sales team, Katie is amazing and easy to work with, to the day of operation team(Jeremy is GOAT) and the staff were so friendly and helpful. S/O to the bartenders who got me a shot right before I enter the reception to calm my nervers..haha! As a planner myself, I am very critical on service of other venue and I cannot say one bad thing about this place. My family and friends are are still raving about how great the food was! We were able to customize our buffet to have Cajun Creole menu and it was amazing! Thank you all again for making my husband dreams come true. All my vendors love the Cincinnati Club as well.. they had no issues setting up, loading in or out. Everything was a smooth transition and this is what you want when you are looking for a place to host and event. I love this venue so much, I even recommend a few friends to book it for their upcoming wedding!

hey had the ceremony in the Gold Ballroom and reception in the Oak Ballroom. There was very little need for extra decorations, just flowers and family photos. All of the people we worked with (Brittney, Katie, Jeremy, and others whose names I forget) were personable and helpful and made us feel like this was the most important wedding they had ever done. Their professionalism made it obvious they really knew what they were doing. The food was great (we had a plated duet) and they provided the very tasty cake. A couple extra perks are having Piatt Park right in front of the venue for picture taking, and free parking in the attached garage for guests. If you're looking for a beautiful, historic venue with staff who will help you through the whole process, take a look at the Cincinnati Club!

I can't say enough about the Cincinnati Club and McHale's staff! From day 1 when we toured the venue to picking up our items after the reception this team was extremely organized and detail oriented. We were first sold on this venue compared to...
the other 6 we toured because during the tour McHale's provided us with a itemized proposal including the cost of the space, food, alcohol, etc., which gave us a very realistic idea of what the cost of the reception would be. Which - I will add was extremely competitive when I compared other popular venues in downtown Cincinnati. From that point forward McHale's was always available and very responsive to all questions I had. During the reception the food was excellent, as was our cake. No detail was missed and the staff was extremely attentive to us the whole night. I don't think we ever got our own food or went up to the bar. The whole evening was seamless and very organized. I still can't believe I am saying this but nothing went wrong the entire day. I also used their recommended vendors for lighting, DJ, photographer, florist, all of which I also had excellent experiences. Don't hesitate on using this venue or McHale's as a caterer, this was easily the best decision we made!

auty of the Harrison room and lobby. Tables were spread out and all the guests who were still able to come were accommodated in the room. Though we did not need it, McHale's offered to seat any guests who did not fit (due to state regulations regarding table spacing) in their Pompadour room on the same floor across the lobby. We had about 125 guests attend and it felt very full. Looking back, I can't imagine having the full 230 we had initially planned! The Harrison room is just stunning and needs minimal decor. I would HIGHLY suggest hiring their lighting specialist CLEAR Lighting as the room is very dim without.

Wow! How does someone attempt to write the best review they possibly can? My wife and I were planning our dream wedding for two years to have been married on June 26th. We were set to get married at a whole different venue in NKY. Then CO...
VID-19 came along and all sorts of complications arose due to the pandemic. Long story short, our last venue totally cancelled on us almost 2 weeks before our date after assuring us that we could still have our wedding under certain restrictions. At exactly 12 days before our big day, we were so lost. We thought we had to cancel flights, we lost all our deposits, our tux company that we paid stayed they were going out of business. We only knew we had to keep our date because of sentimental reasons. Though hopeless- I scoured online one last time to try to find a last minute option for a wedding. A miracle occurred when we found the Cincinnati Club owned by McHales catering. I got in touch with Brittney and Carly who both worked swiftly to accommodate us after hearing our story. They coordinated a tasting, and helped us revise a two year plan in the span of under a week which they’re not normally permitted or able to do. They answered and addressed the colossal amount of questions and concerns we had super promptly and worked hard to make sure our big day was as perfect as we could hope. It was better than we could’ve hoped though. Our day was beautiful. The venue was so pleasant and the staff was over the top in their hospitality and the attention to last minute details took all the stress out of planning a last minute wedding. Ownership personally addressed and thanked our party on several occasions to make sure we were happy. With the current pandemic, I think it’s only reasonable to assume every business is hurting at least to some degree. If you’re considering the Cincinnati Club, my recommendation is that you put them at the top of your preferred venues. They deserve all the business they can handle. Thank you so much, Cincy Club Staff!!!

n chicken and BBQ beef brisket. Both were absolutely amazing and the brisket was so tender. We have received so many compliments about how good the food was. We went to four other weddings this year after our own, and the food did not really compare to ours at any of the weddings. Granted, they were all buffet style which probably tends to not be as good as selected meals. The ballroom was amazing and looked great in the natural light. Then, we had their lighting vendor put up four uplights behind our table for when it became dark and it was a great touch. Organization and communication were both pretty good leading up to our wedding. I feel like everything went very smooth the day of. We had extra meals that we paid for due to guests not showing up last minute and they even brought those out to tables, so guests could have more if they wanted. We also really liked the bar area and how that worked out for the cocktail hour. It was nice that guests could also go back into this part during our reception if they wanted a quieter place to talk. The only issue I heard of was one of the bartenders giving my younger sister (who is 21) trouble about her ID and thinking it was fake. Overall experience was just amazing and we would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to have their wedding downtown at an affordable cost.

actual planning and communication between us took place relatively late in the game, like from 2 months prior to the week before, which was stressful for me because I would have liked to get things done sooner. But I understand that could have just been because there were lots of events there, so the staff's attention had to be on whichever event was coming up soonest. Also, towards the end of the night when most guests had left, the venue just turned on the lights in our ballroom without informing me first . . . I would have just liked a heads up even though I knew the night was ending. Overall, 90-95% of my experience was very positive--there could have just been a greater attention to small details and earlier communication, although the staff was always very responsive and willing to help when I contacted them.

We were happy with the outcome of our wedding reception. However, it was really challenging to work with this venue as an out-of-town bride, so five stars would feel dishonest. I was also disappointed in how dessert was served; we reviewed t...

We had a beautiful downtown wedding at the Cincinnati Club. We immediately fell in love with all the wood and the mural painting in the Oak Room. The whole building has a vintage, classy feel. We also liked the fact that you could only be 1 ...
of 2 weddings in an evening. We lucked out and had the building all to ourselves. We had a lot of out of town guests and they appreciated being downtown and within walking distance of so many things to do. The Garfield Suites hotel is literally right next door so it's super convenient that guests can walk back to their hotel rooms at the end of the night. Beth and Diana were always very responsive and helpful through the months of planning. You can tell they have a lot of experience so you know right away you are in good hands. Beth was with us the day of our wedding and she did a great job of making sure everything ran smoothly. The waitstaff was very friendly and attentive and our guests are still raving about the food. We did stations and the lines got a little long at times, but everyone said it was worth the wait. The mashed potatoes made to order and served in martini glasses were awesome and so fun (that's probably what caused the line because everyone wanted to try it first!). I would definitely recommend the Cincinnati Club if you are considering a downtown wedding. All around good service in a beautiful building in a good area of downtown. What else could you ask for?

I have a feeling that I would have liked this vendor a lot more if I had been in town. I had a very difficult time communicating with them over email, and was never sure which of the two ladies (they share an email address) I was contacting, an...
d who was in charge of what. I felt that nothing really got accomplished (except payments) unless I initiated a line of questioning. In person, they were always very helpful, and on the wedding day, their staff did a great job. I probably would have switched reception venues if I hadn't already done all the work of getting my other vendors in touch with these ladies and paid a hefty deposit. If my wedding could be said to have had a low point, this was it.

The venue is gorgeous! Davis catering was good to work with upfront. They worked with us on developing a non-traditional meal that our guests seemed to love. The bar is by consumption - but don't be afraid - it was spot on the budget she gave u...
s. However, she was not forthcoming about the cost of the labor charges and we didn't realize they would be as pricy as they were. She should have mentioned this day 1. There were a few other small details that were missed by Davis Catering on the day of the wedding - of course nothing our guests noticed, but my groom and I did. I'd recommend this place, but I'd also recommend a day of coordinator to make sure the details are spot on.

ource to me during the process. The actual facility is amazing. My wedding guests told me all night how beautiful everything was and how amazing the place was. Food was delicious - very good taste and value for the portion size. They even made the gravy special for our entree as I needed it to be gluten-free. The serving staff was also amazing. Very polite and considerate - smiles the whole night.

The Cincinnati Club is a very elegant and wonderful place for a reception. They are good to work with and want to make you happy. One thing that I was not so happy about was at the end of the reception when we asked for the extra cake (we told ...
them to pack up the extra for us to take home since we ordered enough cake for triple the people) they said there was none. They also gave away the extra sparklers we had- be sure you keep an eye on any extra things you wish to take home, they throw them away or give them to staff.

We had our wedding at the Cincinnati Club in early May, on a recommendation from a friend who had been married there. The Diane and Beth, the event coordinators, were extremely professional and have weddings down to a science. They made sure ev...
erything started exactly on time, contacted all our vendors, and made sure to tell me everything that they needed to do a good job. I only took off one star because parts of the Club are a little worn when you see it in the daylight: water damage on the bathroom ceiling, chipped marble, slightly dated wallpaper in the grill. My mom couldn't take her eyes off of it, but it doesn't seem to me that our guests noticed. In addition, the dinner servers looked like the Keystone Cops bringing out food - it was a little awkward and distracting. Otherwise, it was a great middle ground for my white collar and my husband's blue collar families. Classy but not ostentatious, and lots of fun.

s high was because we had nearly 300 guests. The Cincinnati Club was gracious and adjusted our rooms to accommodate the unexpectedly large number of guests. Diana was very kind and very helpful through the process. The serving staff was amazing. The only reason the service did not receive 5 stars was because one staff member kept telling me and my husband that we were in "overtime" while everyone was still having a great time on the dance floor and essentially trying to get us out (it was around 10 pm). It turned out that our contract said we had until 11. Otherwise, everything was perfect.

I loved the rooms. They were all so much more ornate and interesting than your typical banquet room. I loved that the catering was included it made it much easier to have one less thing on the to do list.
