Creekside was wonderful to work with. We ended up postponing our wedding by a whole year due to covid and they were so flexible and didn't charge any fees/penalties for the date change. Karlie was so helpful leading up to and on the day of the...
wedding. The food was delicious (we had brisket and cheese ravioli) and the venue is beautiful. The staff is very helpful and kind. We had all day Friday to set up for our Saturday wedding (this isn't always possible due to other events, but if it isn't possible they will set up for you). They also took everything down for us and stored it away until my parents were able to pick it up a few days later. I got so many compliments on the venue and how beautiful and elegant it was. It has a ballroom feel without being stuffy or cold. There are lots of seating areas for lounging during the reception. The bride and groom suites are nice and well appointed and morning of snacks were affordable and tasty. The free garage parking is also very nice and convenient for guests. I would definitely choose Creekside again if I had to do it all over!

We held our ceremony outside on the stage and I cannot get over how beautiful Creekside looked in the background of our pictures. The space is huge, we had no problem fitting 230 people in the ball room. We did plated meals which went very smooth, and the food was so delicious. Creekside remodeled the space in 2019 and it looks great! I recommend booking Creekside to anyone!!

gorgeous area. My mother and I were ecstatic with the location and look so we put our deposit and date down. We were introduced to Karlie who helped moving forward with our details and organization of our big day. She was spectacular! She responded to my emails promptly and went above and beyond by helping to give me her suggestions based on her experience. Karlie made sure I was aware of her upcoming leave of absence and ensured my documents and our discussions would be relayed to Harland who was filling in for her. Harland was the icing on the cake! He was beyond amazing! I would text him and reach out often, especially the last few days before the wedding. We had our final meeting and solidified all the details. He was so supportive of a few last minute changes and was by far the main reason my wedding was so perfect and adhered to the timeline. To say I highly recommend Creekside would be an understatement. I will only recommend Creekside from now on to everyone!

The event coordinator (Harland Young, Sarah, Chelsea) and staff day of not only communicated effectively and warmly but anticipated needs we didn't even think of. I cannot impress upon anyone how easy they made it and how memorable they made it. Not to mention that the setting is GORGEOUS and site is extremely well maintained. I also learned that they have a reputation among other wedding vendors as being extremely easy to work and coordinate with. Best decision we ever made.

the windows! The natural light makes the whole space feel so bright and airy. In addition, they just completed a whole bunch of renovations right before our reception - new paint (gray color palette!!!), new carpet, light fixtures, decor and furniture. Looks very modern now and in touch with today's styles. Loved everything about the renovation! The food at Creekside is amazing, our guests gave us numerous compliments on both dinner and the cocktail hour food. The only suggestion I would give is if you are using the whole space to have an extra speaker at the other end of the room, some of guests had trouble hearing announcements from the DJ. Other than that, our reception was perfect and Karlie is the BEST.

The servers and bartenders did a great job as well, so friendly, professional and personable. The wine and beer selection was perfect. Also, whoever brought in the ladder to get my bouquet down from the ceiling ledge above the dance floor saved the day! It was pretty hysterical I managed to accidentally fling it up there!

They also provided all the centerpieces at no extra charge, which seems like a small thing, but makes a difference at a tight budget! The catering staff were also extremely prompt in bringing out the food and very professional. My only complaint is that the food was not as perfect as it was at the tasting, but that's probably because the chef himself could not oversee the cooking of every dish to make sure meats weren't overcooked and that enough sauce was added to each plate. However, that's not enough of a complaint to take off one star, as I'm overall very satisfied with my experience with this venue and would definitely recommend future brides to consider this venue as well!

The planning process was made easy by our Event Planner, Karlie Halverson. I cannot give enough praise to her for the calm, professional manner in which she took us through each step in the planning process and resolved any concerns that we may have had. She provided prompt reply to the many, many e-mails I sent to her. The chef also deserves high praise for the food prepared to tasty perfection.

Just looking at the website, Creekside Conference & Event Center looked like the perfect venue for a wedding, especially since we wanted an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. When we toured Creekside, we were so excited about how beautiful ...
the outdoor rotunda area was for the ceremony and how large the reception area was on the third floor. Creekside had so much room inside the venue that we knew it wouldn't be in issue if weather was bad and we needed to move the ceremony inside. Luckily, we had perfect weather for a beautiful outdoor ceremony. The Creekside staff, especially Karlie, was very organized and easy to work with as we planned for the wedding day. Karlie took detailed notes and kept track of all the updates and changes that were made along the way. I created a decoration instructions document for the staff, because I knew I wouldn't be able to help set up the ceremony site or reception area due to time constraints on the wedding day. The staff followed my decoration instructions very well and carried out my plan perfectly. Creekside staff worked very well with my other wedding vendors and gave them instructions on where to set up as they arrived (DJ, photobooth, cake, etc.). Our only complaints about the whole event were that the steaks were cooked more of a medium rare instead of medium and the baked macaroni and cheese entrees did not come with sides (we thought all entrees would come with sides). Other than that, we were very happy with our full experience at Creekside Conference & Event Center. I would 100% recommend this venue for a wedding or other special events. We can't wait to get our wedding photos back because there are so many beautiful photo spots immediately outside of Creekside and back in the wooded trails right behind the venue. It's so beautiful!

When we began researching venues for our October 3, 2014 wedding, I just assumed that we wouldn't be able to afford Creekside Conference Center as our venue. But after researching other spaces, how much it actually costs to hire things (caterin...
g, linens, servers, alcohol, hardware, etc.), Creekside turned out to be within budget and a good value. The space is elegant - it needs very little in the way of extra decorating. Standard white linens are included, but you can upgrade and customize as you'd like. The option to have an outdoor ceremony was also important to us, but the venue allows a built-in Plan B in case of inclement weather (which allowed us to seamlessly move our ceremony inside). Our concept was a little different - a Friday night event, with a non-traditional ceremony officiated by friends and a cocktail-style reception with heavy hors d'ourvres. The staff at Creekside helped us work through all the details, from top to bottom, and took care of details so I didn't have to (such as securing the plaza from the City for the anticipated outdoor ceremony, and coordinating the linens and table settings). I especially appreciated that the staff was well-equipped to handle anxious, type-A personalities. The chef even fielded a phone call about a particular way that we wanted a dish prepared. Even on the day-of, when we had to move the ceremony indoors, and an additional table was added at MOB's request, Karlie (Wedding Coordinator) and the team at Creekside handled everything professionally and almost effortlessly. The tables were set exactly as I hoped, and any time we started to look for Karlie, she was there. With Creekside, I can with confidence say that they will work with you to achieve the event you want, as traditional or non-traditional as you choose. The value of choosing Creekside isn't just in the tangibles - it's the intangible experience, guidance, and attention you get from the staff. Edited to add: The food was awesome. Everyone commented how good the food was, and how much they enjoyed the small bites. We also had the beef tenderloin carving station - that was the one thing I did get to eat my wedding night and OMG :) so good!

extremely hot, though. It was a nice September day, so I'm not sure if that was the reason there wasn't much air conditioning, but my changing area and the reception were both super hot. They did try to adjust the temperature, but I was still hot all evening. I would highly suggest a microphone to anyone having a wedding outside on the rotary stage. We were definitely told that the bar guests are always quiet during a wedding ceremony and that was NOT the case. The noise level did not change. The fountain also added to the background noise, making it impossible for our guests to hear our pastor or our vows. It was partially our own fault for dropping the ball on getting a mic set up, but I feel that the importance of having that should have been conveyed to us from our coordinator, who has experience with the weddings there. You cannot hear without a sound system and mic. Overall, we had a great day, though. I found out later that the groom was running behind and couldn't get the sand ceremony set up, so our coordinator stepped in and prepared it for us. Super nice!! It's a beautiful venue and we were very happy besides those two issues.

The staff was extremely polite and was very helpful answering questions and concerns. The staff was also patient with payments and did not hassle us for anything.

Several of my guests (ones from the last table to go to the Buffett) have called to tell me how good the food was! Creekside also fabulous about setting up the tables with all of our " extras" such as place cards, favors, children's bags, and 20 cake plates. The real bonus for us was when we we leaving, the staff had packed up our "extra" and all the wedding gifts on carts. All we had to do was wheel them to the car.

She responded to my calls and emails within 12 hours and gave honest opinions when I needed guidance. She also made sure that the hubs and I were able to eat dinner before being tackled by our many guests (we were starved!). She really eased my stressed and made planning the reception fun!

For my husband and I, the reception hall was one of the most important choices we made. And Creekside was definitely the right choice for us. They were a little higher in price than we originally wanted to go, but they were very willing to ke...
ep us in budget. Best thing about Creekside is that it is so beautiful inside, that no decorating is necessary. Rosie - the wedding coordinator there - was fabulous. She worked with us on all the details. Especially the week leading up to the wedding, she was very willing to let us come in and drop things off early and set up a table so she could recreate what I wanted on all the tables later. She also got in touch with all my outside vendors to coordinate with them to make sure everything was smooth sailing. The food was phenomenal. Definitely not your typical wedding food. We had plated service with the cheapest chicken plate and cheapest steak plate, and both were so delicious that everyone thought we spend top dollar on the dishes. I couldn't have asked for a better reception hall. Well worth the money.

Whenever I ha a questions during the wedding day, she was two steps ahead and answered it before I could ask. Overall, Creekside was a little more than we wanted to put as a down payment but I couldn't imagine our wedding anywhere else. It was definately worth every penny spent that day.

aste event. All of our food scraps were composted, all bottles were recycled and all service ware was reusable! They even nixed stirrers and any other item that could not be recycled or composted. The staff even weighed the recyclables and food scraps so that we could calculate our diversion in terms of green house gas emissions avoided! No other venue was interested in perusing these options. If you would like to have a green wedding this is the PERFECT venue for you! The surrounding forest and creekside are perfect for pictures. So happy with this place!

During my planning process, I literally checked out just about every venue in Columbus. But no place compared to Creekside (for me at least). They may be more pricey than everywhere else, but as long as you know what you are doing and know what...
you want, you can book them and still have a gorgeous wedding. Every guest raved about the place. I thought they wouldn't be so open to what I wanted, but actually they were pretty flexible. The place is beautiful and perfect to have a reception as well as a ceremony. You don't have to make your guests travel and there is plenty of great places to take pictures just outside! Garage parking is complimentary and service is great. I'm so glad I used Creekside as my wedding venue, I wouldn't have gone anywhere else.

inator and she was accessibile, patient and extremely helpful for the seven months we worked with her leading up to the wedding. She was wonderful to work with from the very first meeting. She is super nice and very experienced. There were a few last-minute changes but Katherine wasn't ruffled at all and she worked well with my coordinator from Bendora's Wedding Gallery. I knew I was in good hands. The food was exquisite, even better than the tasting! They say some brides don't eat on their wedding day. I definitely did! The food looked way too good to pass up. Oh and even if you don't serve them at your wedding, be sure to at least taste their Buckeyes. They're the biggest and tastiest Buckeyes ever! All of our guests loved the facility - and I'm sure they appreciated the free garage parking! Creekside is beautiful and perfect for a wedding and/or reception. We didn't have a huge decor budget, but at Creekside you don't need it. Their decor is perfect as is. The management at Creekside is wonderful. They truly care about their clients. After the wedding day, I had a few concerns (for instance, I didn't know we couldn't take home the food left over from the reception), but I talked to the manager and he was very nice and explained everything to me. Communication is key and he cleared up any miscommunications I had. I highly recommend Creekside Conference and Event Center. It is a beautiful facility and perfect for a wedding at any time of year!

ne had. The food was amazing and we had many comments on it. However, in the months leading up to the wedding, things went a little roughly. Six months after we had our estimate and put down our deposit, they raised the prices on the food and expected us to pay the new prices, without even discussing it with us. We had to talk to the main guy - Eric - and he let us keep the prices but was hesitant about it. This is not a good thing to do to your customers! We are recent graduates and both working retail, we had to choose a Sunday for costs reasons and we had to have a limited menu because we don't have that much money. We used our whole savings account for this wedding. I feel that because we didn't have a huge bugdet we were just thought of as a number. We were a little disappointed with this because there were things we'd talk about with Katherine and it just wasn't getting done. For instance, after we talked to Eric about the food prices, he was supposed to talk to her and let her know. She still sent us the new prices and we had to tell her again that we talked to Eric. Not only that, but we had numerous issues with having to correct estimates after we had already given them our information. Just because we had a smaller budget wedding, doesn't mean it wasn't a HUGE amount for us. We are paying them all our money and I feel they should be treating us like they would do anything to make us happy! It's our BIG day and our wedding and we just felt a little turned off. BUT on the day of Carlos, who I hadn't met before, was there to run the show and he was AMAZING!!!! He was on top of things,was so nice and polite. Definitely give him 5 stars! Made sure WE were happy and taken care of. Also, the staff is awesome! If you get married there, make sure you meet Katie-I'm sure she will introduce herself. She was so awesome and so glad we got to meet her! The day of our wedding was amazing, smooth and just what we wanted. Just wish the days leading up to it were a little bit more of the same.

As a bride I was very confident that once I had explained the details to her that everything would be taken care of, and it was. Our only issue preventing five stars was that Katherine, who had been checking up on us (the bride and groom) throughout the evening, disappeared about half way through the evening. The rest of the staff was more than able to take care of our needs and questions, but the familiar face and go to person was no where to be seen.

I would request at a restaurant but overlooked while worrying about other silly details. Everything was taken care!! My mom and I were standing to the side chatting and she mentioned she wanted cream for her coffee. A server overheard her and 2 seconds later arrived with cream on a tray. The food was scrumptious and I am sad I only had time to graze! People are still asking if I can get the recipe for the Almond Brie Bites and the Strawberries Ripiene. The setting was beautiful. We took pictures around the "downtown" outside as well as inside and it looked like we spent the afternoon doing a photo shoot in various locations!! My husband had open heart surgery 8 months before we got married. We are a fairly low key couple and had a big wedding as a way to honor and thank our friends and family for all the love and support they provided. Creekside made everyone feel like royalty and I would recommend them time and time again!!!
