nia and Scott were extremely personable and organized throughout the decision/planning process, making sure every detail is in place for the night of. Sonia put me at ease with her prompt response and recommendations while Scott was the one who showed us around answering questions and creating custom diagrams for our seating preferences and our large guest count/band. Carolyn was our event coordinator that evening. As soon as we met with her the week before, I knew she was going to be on top of it. When the night came, she (and the rest of the service staff) truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone had everything they needed and more. We are still getting compliments on the service and how no one waited for anything the entire evening! They even packed up my mom's car for her at the end of the night with gifts/decor, complete with two boxed meals for my husband and I to enjoy! Highly highly recommend Drees Pavilion, not only for the best views of Cincinnati, but for unparalleled service throughout the entire process, start to finish.

us from this venue. The majority of our guests were in from out-of-town and they were blown away by the venue. It was so clean and the grounds were beautiful. Plus there is ample parking for all our folks who drove themselves. My husband and I lucked out and were able to secure the last Saturday during the summer months after sitting on a waiting list. The Drees staff was so polite and nice while I anxiously waited for the date to become available -- Sonia, the coordinator at Drees -- called me the second we could book because she knew I was going to be waiting by the phone. She walked me through what would be the next 11 months of planning for my husband and I. She answered every single email throughout the planning process very quickly and was so helpful when I started to stress about the small details. Any time I felt the need to tour the venue, she was ready to receive me -- even when my Mom came in to town, she agreed to open the building and let us walk around. The Drees staff has timeline templates that helped me plan the whole day and then set up a meeting between myself, the caterer and our day-of-wedding coordinator that was also provided by Drees. It kept me from having to hire out another person to handle the day-of details. Janine, our day of coordinator, took all my stress away. She also took all the stress away for my parents and in-laws. She handled everything and any small question I had, she immediately took care of. I felt so special and taken care of throughout the whole day. They held on to all of our things over the weekend so I didn't have to do any clean-up post wedding... I was able to just leave with my husband to enjoy the rest of our night! I cannot say enough nice things about this venue and the staff that works there. I recommend Drees Pavilion to everyone I meet!

ry tale was black and white with cigar and open bar; anything traditional or princessy would have made me lose composure). Again, to Scott's credit--composure was never lost and that is because he and his team knew every detail and remained constantly one step ahead of us all. My husband and I intended to drive ourselves off into the moonlight; without any hesitation Scott drove us himself. People are still talking about Scott and Drees commitment to excellence and it's been almost a year. Beautiful scenery, attention to detail and a mastery of event production.

We can't stress enough how wonderful Drees was for our wedding day! Not only is the view and facility exceptional, but the staff was unbelievable as well! We searched and met with about 15 different venues before checking out Drees (everyone ...
kept telling us to check Drees, but we thought the price would be way too much). When we did finally meet with Drees, we fell in love! The availability was very slim (for Saturday book 1.5 years ahead of time, Friday about 1 year), but for good reason! The whole process with them was great. They answered all our questions quickly, they explained the timeline easily and provided suggestions, and they set up and coordinated with all the vendors. As far as price goes, it was pretty reasonable for what you get in return. It does add up when you start changing linen colors or adding chair covers, etc, but still worth it. Last comment, it was a little tough to keep people on the dance floor because it was a gorgeous day and everyone wanted to be out on the back patio. Possible suggestion would be to have the dance floor outside in the back. We would have done this if we did it all over. Regardless, Drees went over and beyond our expectations and we would without a doubt, do it all over again!

My fiance and I looked at several places (Cincy Museum Center being one of them) and one day we stopped up for an open house they were having and they had the place decorated to show what it would look like, I told my fiance this is it! I know ...
he agreed, but we didn't have the biggest budget since we were paying for the wedding ourselves. We spoke with the friendly people there and Scott told us he would give us a deal if we chose a wedding date that was in their off season (winter) so that's what we did. We got married in march and it was beautiful!!! All of our guests thought it was beautiful and many said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. The view at night with the city lights really set it off. Plus, we hired a lighting team for the reception. We were married there and it was lit with candles very soft and romantic and then they opened up the side walls and the reception was lit with specialty lighting and our monograms on the dance floor and it was just perfect. I don't even think my fiance and I thought it was going to be that good. If you want this place but want a great price then go for the winter season or else you might have to pay for summer or holidays. But it is so worth it! Sonia was more than awesome, she was on top of it. She kept everything going on a schedule, brought us our dinner, and kept us with a fresh drink all night. Wonderful!! We had to get a wedding pic with her she was so great! This place is great, so glad we did it here!

They really took care of us during the wedding by making sure we always had the drink in hand and even put a piece of each kind of cake we chose at the head table for us to eat when we had a chance. The Drees is also great because the staff takes care of everything for you. They call all the venders the week before the wedding to coordinate day of wedding details, etc. One other small negative is the bridal sweet is very small. I would definitely recommend anyone to get married here that wants both an outdoor and indoor element to their wedding.

Perfect - everything was perfect. The Drees staff was amazing. They were so professional and polite and anticipated our every need. We had many planning meetings with them and they accomodated everything without a complaint. The actual wedding ...
day went so smooth. All of our guests were so thrilled and had nothing but compliments about the food and service. The venue itself is gorgeous- fresh flowers everywhere and the view is so worth it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND (and don't be discouraged by the wait- we had to book a year and a half in advance but it was worth it!)

It was an incredible view of the Cincinnati skyline. The managers were incredible and very helpful.;Your time is limited. If the reception ends @ 11:00 you have to be out the door @ 11:00. I would have like to stayed longer.
