Reviewed On 3/25/2020 by Brittany Z
From the moment my fiancé and I started planning our wedding, we knew we had to have our reception at Columbia Ballroom. We had previously attended wedding there, and loved it! We booked them within a month of getting engaged. Once we started ...
telling our guests and our other vendors where our reception was going to be, all we kept hearing was good things about the venue, food, and service. From the time we booked Columbia Ballroom up until this day, they have been nothing but amazing to my fiancé and I. Unfortunately, we were not able to have our reception at Columbia Ballroom due to the fire that took place exactly three weeks before our big day. What I say speak on is that Columbia Ballroom has gone above and beyond to provide us with THE BEST customer service (even when they were going through such tragedy). They stayed in touch with me to keep me informed of what was going on after the fire took place. They reached out to other venues on my behalf to see if our date was available, and to see if they could accommodate us. Even before the fire took place, they always responded in a timely manner whenever I had any questions or concerns. They provided us multiple food tastings (which made it very difficult to choose our food menu- everything was so delicious)! They were extremely flexible on specific requests we had. We were able to be picky about all the details for our special day, no matter how big or small they were. They made planning our reception so much easier than I ever anticipated. I cannot thank them enough for all they have done for me these past couple weeks, and the last year & a half of our wedding planning. I worked with Amber through out the entire process of planning our wedding, and she was amazing to work with. She makes planning your wedding reception so easy. She is truly a professional at what she does! The owners Shane and Heidi were also great to work with before and after the fire. All three of them truly care about every couple steps foot into their venue. Future brides, PLEASE consider Columbia Ballroom for you let big day— they are an amazing venue with an amazing team behind them. I PROMISE you will not be disappointed with their food, staff, and services!

hey cook the food onsite and all of our guests said it was the best wedding food they have ever had! We were even given the leftovers at the end of the night. We originally planned to have the ceremony outside but due to weather we had to switch it to inside at the last minute but it was still beautiful. I can’t say enough good things about the venue and staff and am SO GLAD we chose the ballroom for our big day.

This was the first venue I toured and knew as soon as I walked in that it was just the right place. (They do indeed book up quickly and I settled for a Friday ceremony as I knew this was the best place for our big day). They had the option of h...
aving the ceremony outdoors where they let out their horses. They stayed out all night so guests could visit with them post-ceremony. The large room held enough space to comfortably fit all of our guests (~230) and leave plenty of room for dancing. It is a gorgeous venue that can easily wear farmhouse chic decor. Heidi was open to hearing our ideas and incorporating as much as she could between food, set-up, and anything in between. I have received nothing but compliments on how delicious the food was. The bartenders were great. The bridal suite is lovely and spacious. It's no wonder Heidi picked Amber as her assistant as she always takes the time to respond and check-in that everything is still running smoothly. Overall, the Columbia Ballroom is a fabulous place to celebrate your big day. Heidi, Shane, Amber and staff will not let you down!

eidi was always pleasant to talk to and was accommodating to our wants and needs for the reception. We were given the ability to customize so that everything was very personal. I especially enjoyed how the dance floor, bar, food, etc, were all in the same room which really brought everything and everyone together. Oh yeah, and Heidi's husband Shane did an amazing job with dinner! The prime rib was well worth the added price and the stuffed chicken was a huge hit. Overall we were very pleased with this venue and highly recommend it.

Everything about my wedding was absolutely PERFECT, starting with the Columbia Ballroom. I fell in love with the ballroom since the moment I saw it. The ballroom, despite it's name, is not a ballroom, but a rustic-barn feel, with exposed wood b...
eams and hardwood floors. It's a big main room and dance floor, complete with a large bar, and stage to keep the whole party in one place. A horse farm out back, gives it that extra touch. The venue books fast, so if you want this place DON'T hesitate. The year I wanted was completely booked, so I ended up putting my name on a waiting last. It turned out the venue had a cancellation and we quickly scooped up the date. Heidi (the owner) and Amber were both a phone call or text message away throughout the whole planning process. They were both so helpful in making my day exactly how I wanted. My finace and I quickly picked our food, and our tasting was delicious. Closer to our date we had to pick table cloths.... I changed my mind a million times, and went up multiple times, and Heidi and Amber were always eager and accommodating. The month or two before the wedding I changed the table cloths (again) and even wanted to add in a taco bar, and again they were quickly there to help! The day of the wedding finally came. We opted for a plated dinner instead of buffet and the severs executed it flawlessly. We received SO MANY COMPLIMENTS on all the food, from the Italian Wedding soup, to the main course, to the late night taco bar! Every single guest had something good to say about the meal. The bartenders were equally amazing. There is an older blonde lady bartender who took care of me all night! I wish I learned her name because she definitely deserves a shout-out! The bartenders had hustle and the drinks were great! I can't say enough good things about this place. If you are considering it for your wedding venue, just book it now!

horses walked around near by giving us gorgeous photo opportunities. Our reception was held inside the rustic ballroom covered in twinkly lights, making everything look dreamy. They allow you to be creative and decorate it as much or as little as your heart desires (the place is very pretty as it is, and really doesn't need a lot if that's not your style). We received so many compliments about the ballroom and the food (it's amazing), and were told that our wedding was original and not like anything anyone has ever been to before. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a place for their rustic/vintage inspired wedding. We were truly happy with everything and would not change one thing!
