This venue is the best EVER! We had the best reception. The site is top notch and Amanda & Elizabeth couldn’t be better to work with! I loved this location because of the rustic feel. It is not the cookie cutter reception site and the reaso...

I cannot say enough good things about Longworth Hall. My wedding was on 9/5/2020 and despite the setbacks from Covid, everyone at Longworth Hall went above and beyond to make our day the best it could be. I am so thankful we went with them for ...
our venue! There was so much space to spread out, and they even installed an air cleaning system to the HVAC that kills Covid and other viruses!! Even when the coodinator changed a few weeks before the wedding, they both did such a good job of communicating during the switch. Thank you to Elaine, Amanda and Elizabeth!
They were all so helpful and the venue was beyond PERFECT!!!!!
Worked with us to make our vision happen. Loved working with them!

Longworth Hall is such a beautiful reception venue for a couple looking for the perfect mix of industrial and rustic with a little bit of femininity in downtown Cincinnati. The staff was great and easy to work with, the venue area is spacious, ...
and we were satisfied with the quality of tables, chairs, and linens provided. We were able to set up our decorations the day before since they didn’t have an event that day, which was a huge weight off of us day-of. They allowed us to set up the space to fit the needs of our reception (photo booth area, gift table, cake table, guest book table, etc.) and to appropriately accommodate the number of guests. We were also allowed to leave all of our decorations after the reception overnight and pick them up the next day. Oh and did I mention free parking and plenty of it? Although it can get a bit pricey, my husband and I were quite happy with our choice to host our reception here!

never 'long' or cumbersome throughout our reception as they staffed it very well. My husband and I fell in love with the venue the minute we walked in for our tour. Thanks again for everything Elaine!!
If you're considering hosting your reception for your Big Day at Longworth Hall - DO IT! You wont regret it!
My wife and I live in a loft with a very similar 'industrial modern' vibe which we immediately fell in love it. Also being a nerd for...
history, Longworth Hall's history is pretty awesome (awarded status of 'longest structure of its type in the world' in 1904 - http://www.longworthhall.com/). Originally used as a railroad freight terminal, this building will likely exist for 100's of years to come, and it's is a cool thought that we are now part of this history.
I can sense the eye rolls of all the to-be brides reading this, which is the same reaction my wife (Laura) had when we were touring the reception hall. But Laura was equally in love with Longworth for other reasons which likely align more with you ladies. It's an absolutely GORGEOUS reception hall, is logistically perfect for Cinci hotels, after party bars, etc.
Laura and I had the mindset of allocating a large portion of our budget toward the event space, rather than a boring space with fancy plated meals (coming from someone who worked as a caterer in high school, not even the most expensive plated meals are as good as you pay for - save it for the honeymoon, baby) and high end bar package (Longworth does have this though for the ones who are into it). Instead, we owned the Cincinnati theme and catered Montgomery Inn for dinner (couldn't get Laura on board with Skyline after several failed attempts, but Montgomery Inn was perfect), Greaters for ice cream with our cake, and stuck with a basic bar package but worked with Elaine to include several cases of Rhinegeist beer to kick-start the party. This couldn't have been more well-executed. We still have friends/family tell us that our wedding was the most enjoyable and beautiful wedding they have ever attended (home run in my book).
If you are looking for a unique space, perhaps have a deep connection with Cincinnati (not required), and want to stamp your friends/familys' memories with the best night of you and your spouse's life, then Longworth Hall is your answer. We wouldn't change a thing about our Big Day, and Longworth Hall remains the 'feature' of the reception component of our wedding.
Thank you Elaine and the rest of the Longworth team for everything.
Thanks,
Ben and Laura

but the day of they were so accommodating, I didn't have to lift a finger and they directed all the vendors to where they were supposed to be. There was no event the day before our reception so they let us set up early as well. They made the day extra special and let us have a say in the beer and wine options to make the choices perfect for our friends and family. The actual venue was so unique and our guests loved the atmosphere. Because the venue is already so interesting you really don't need to go crazy with decorations which cut down on our cost! Overall, amazing venue, amazing staff, I would highly recommend this location is you are looking for a venue in the northern KY/ Cincinnati area

ith random questions, checked in every now and then, and really made sure that everything went without problems. My husband and I fell in love with the place as soon as we saw it, but Elaine was definitely also one of the reasons we decided to go with Longworth Hall. She was willing to work with us and our requests.
The venue is absolutely beautiful and it was perfect for our rustic themed wedding. The exposed brick, hardwood floors and bistro lights are so pretty that you don't even have to decorate the place very much at all. It was also perfect for our pictures together and with the bridal party. The brick building is great for pictures, and there are also other neat areas around the parking lot that were great spots for pictures.
I highly recommend Longworth Hall for any event!
Longworth was the prefect place for my reception! From taking the initial tour all the way through the end of my reception, Elaine and Elizabeth were beyond helpful. They offered great suggestions and answered every one of my many questions. Th...

We loved having our wedding reception at Longworth Hall! Elaine and Elizabeth are so detail oriented, kind, and helpful. Before, during, and after our event they were great at communicating and helping with anything we needed from tearing dow...
n to trying to find some small nails when helping us set up. It was nice that we had to do such little set up for our wedding because their venue included tables, chairs, and lighting. The venue is beautiful! They are flexible and accommodating and we would have been able to change our room layout close to the wedding if we needed more or less tables or chairs. They are willing to be flexible with set up and tear down depending on the other events happening at Longworths. The price is a little steep but it was nice to not have to worry much about setting up too much at the venue and they coordinated with our vendors well. We would highly recommend them to anyone.
The venue speaks for itself with industrial character and a unique look. Elaine and Elizabeth and their team handled everything with professionalism and flexibility. The venue was laid out and prepared on-time for us to come in an decorate. Wit...
h just a few touches the room came alive and was the perfect backdrop for our wedding reception. The team was responsive to questions and we felt completely prepared that everything would run smoothly "behind-the-scenes" on their end to get ready for the day after a thorough walk-through before the event. And it totally did!

Longworth Hall is absolutely stunning! My husband and I booked it for our December wedding - it was perfect! The minute I did my initial walk-thru I knew it was our perfect option. Elaine and Elizabeth walked us through everything from the tim...
e we booked, up until the day of the wedding. They were wonderful to work with and made sure that all of our details were worked out perfectly so we didn't have anything to worry about the day of the wedding. I honestly couldn't have imagined our wedding at any other venue - Longworth Hall is the perfect combination of rustic industrial! The only complaint I would have is that the security officer at our reception was fairly rude to my guests, DJ, and caterer. We had multiple complaints from the guests and after speaking with my DJ following our reception he was very disappointed, as was I with how the security officer treated everyone at the end of the night. As soon as our event was finished the security officer became very pushy with getting everyone out the second that it was 11:30pm and was very rude about how she was trying to get us out of the venue. As the customer/bride you would expect some understanding from staff at a wedding venue, understanding that everything cannot be instantly removed from the hall and a little bit of cushion as it takes a little bit of time for guests, the DJ and caterer to get everything removed. Aside from the security officer, I absolutely loved Longworth and it was nice working with Elaine and Elizabeth, however, the rudeness of the security guard did put a damper on the response of many guests at the wedding and as a bride you want everyone, including yourself to have the most memorable night (not for this reason however). I would highly suggest Longworth Hall, but discuss the security officer/expectations prior to the event.
We could not have found a better venue. The staff was wonderful and made the whole experience easy throughout the planning process. The overall ambiance of the venue fit our style and taste perfectly. It was an absolute perfect day and Longwort...

My experience with Longworth Hall Event Center was nothing short of PERFECT! Elaine and Elizabeth were both wonderful to work with. They made my wedding day feel important, and like it mattered to them. I can’t even put into words how wonderful...
Longworth is…. But I will try...
We had our wedding on 11/11/2016. All of our family and friends were raving about how fun and beautiful the reception was. Longworth is a beautiful hidden gem with lots of lights and very beautiful exposed brick walls. It is perfect! The only thing better than the actual event center, was the staff.
Elaine and Elizabeth were happy to help us from the moment we walked into Longworth for the first time to the moment we walked out after our reception ended. They made themselves available to both my husband and I through the entire process. As most brides know, it can be very difficult planning a wedding because things are constantly changing. What you originally plan doesn’t always carry out… These two women at Longworth were amazing with all of my changes. Each time I changed something – Elaine and Elizabeth did it almost immediately. Never once did they make me feel like I was an inconvenience to them, and they made my experience with Longworth completely stress free.
I truly had the reception of my dreams! There were no hiccups nor mistakes. These ladies did everything perfectly! I can’t brag about them enough… If you want an affordable location for your reception and a reception hall that stands out from the rest – choose Longworth Hall. If you want the best, stress-free, customer service – Choose Elaine and Elizabeth at Longworth Hall! I can’t thank them enough.
Our wedding reception was everything I wanted and more because of Longworth Hall. We worked with Elaine, and she was amazing. I live out of state, and Elaine was willing to quickly respond to all of my emails asking random questions about the v...
enue. She made what could have been a stressful planning process very seamless. The staff was friendly and my guests all had great things to say about Longworth hall. I highly recommend it if you want a great rustic venue that honestly doesn't need a lot of decorating-it's great as is!
I'm not sure if this review is long enough to write all my concerns with getting married at Longworth Hall. The Hall was beautiful and that is the reason we chose this venue but if we were less than happy dealing with the staff at the venue. Th...
ey tried to force us into buying out additional space time because they never communicated the process of a ceremony at their venue. They also tried to overcharge our final invoice by adding over 40 people to our total count. They were consistently late on all communications even when they set deadlines for us that they never met themselves. The day of the wedding I was locked out of the building enterance that was specifically for the bride to enter discreetly. This was because the security personnel misplaced her keys. However, she was only concerned with blaming her manager at the time, instead of finding a solution better than the bride going in the main entrance - along with all the wedding guests that were entering at that time. No action was taken until she was yelled at due to sheer panic because no one from the venue seemed to think that there was a problem. We did not think any of our guests ended up knowing what had happened, that was until later in the evening when guests approached us fully knowing what had taken place. This was because the same security personnel was telling them about it. We were under the impression the venue wanted to try to make the situation right but the original communication we had with them we were disappointed. The whole situation was downplayed and they were only willing to refund our deposit, which should of been returned either way. It wasn't until after further emails back and forth fighting with them were they willing to return the cost of the ceremony with the deposit. We were pleased with that but we were disappointed we had to fight with them at all considering what had happened. No was one willing to take responsibility for what was described as just a small mishap that probably won't happen again. But unfortunately my wedding won't just happen again.
My husband, Matt, and I had our wedding at Longworth Hall on 10/1 and we cannot speak highly enough of not only the event center, but the staff that helped us along the way. We worked with Elaine from booking through the day of our event and E...
lizabeth was the manager the night of our wedding. They made our wedding planning process easy and always answered any questions that we had right away. They catered to our every request, from asking to have a specific beer served at the bar to taking down the backdrop behind the head table because it did not go with the theme of our wedding. They helped us set up the layout of the room based on the decorations we had purchased and vision we had. We were also able to set up the reception hall the day before the wedding which helped reduce a lot of our stress (this can only be done if there is not an event the night before your event). Also, we had a cookie bar at our reception and Elizabeth and her staff placed the cookies out before our cocktail hour without us even asking her to do that. What more can you ask for?! Not only were Elaine and Elizabeth a dream to work with, the space is a dream as well. The exposed brick, bistro lighting, white uplighting around the walls, and draping fabric made this venue such a unique & gorgeous space. We had a little under 200 guests at our wedding and it was the perfect size to accommodate our party. We heard nothing but compliments all evening about how beautiful the space was. Overall, we were beyond happy and pleased with our experience at Longworth and recommend it to all our newly engaged friends and family looking for a venue downtown. Thanks for everything you did Elaine & Elizabeth!!
Great place. Had trouble booking in the beginning and really thought Elizabeth was rude, during our final walk-thru. She did not behave professionally. However, beautiful venue and Elaine was absolutely wonderful to work with.
Our wedding was at Longworth Hall on November 5th, 2016. As soon as we walked through the doors, we knew this was where our wedding would be! We loved having the feeling of rustic, home, and city all in one place! I cannot express enough thank...

The wedding day itself was just amazing! The staff was wonderful and worked their butts off to make sure our wedding guests had an amazing time as well!! Thank you so much Longworth Hall for working so hard for us to have the wedding of our dreams!! <3 Lauren & Dustin Theis

ong as no one books an event the day before yours, you can get in the day before the event to set up, which was a HUGE help. It was such a different venue with the exposed brick, bistro lighting, and head table back drop lighting. Everyone kept commenting on how gorgeous it was in there, and we didn't have to do much to the space. I would highly recommend this space!
LOVE Longworth Hall! We wanted our wedding to have a very Cincinnati inspired, urban theme and Longworth Hall was the perfect setting! It accommodated our size group perfectly and the staff was great to work with! From the planners, to the b...

Longworth Hall was the perfect venue for our wedding. Elaine was amazing and always called me by name, even if I popped in for an unexpected visit!! Longworth has a different feel than your typical reception venue. It has exposed brick walls an...
d beams, a long skinny dance floor instead of a square, & a rustic feeling without being in a barn with burlap & mason jars. There were times when we were planning that I would think back on the space & get panicky that maybe it wasn't right for us. Then I would go back to see it again and as soon as I walked in I would breathe a sigh of relief because it was perfect.
I believe their event coordinator changed during our planning process. I say "I believe" because they never told us. But one day the lady we had been working with was gone, and a new girl was in her place. Actually it was a coworker who had her reception there a few months before me that told me of the switch. I didn't meet the new girl until a week before my wedding. At that point, she promised my parents, my groom, and me that she would be there the day of our wedding, but none of us saw her.
Honestly, the venue was great, the location was great, and I think the new girl will settle into her role and that part will be smoother for future brides!
Longworth Hall is the hidden gem of a wedding reception venue. I am so lucky that someone suggested it. The women who run it are so wonderful and really easy to work with. I cannot recommend them enough!
We were so lucky to book this amazing venue for our wedding this July. I can’t say enough about the space, the staff, the location, etc. Just a short drive (or a longer walk) from downtown, Longworth hall was super convenient for our guests ...
staying in fountain square and attending our downtown ceremony. We ran a shuttle, but there is also ample parking available just outside. The building itself has a ton of history and character, and the inside of the reception hall is absolutely stunning. The exposed brick walls, beautiful window treatments and full lighting package are almost all the decorations you need. We added some simple, rustic touches throughout and the room was breathtaking. Many of our guests commented on how cool the space was. In addition to that, Elaine was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. When we first booked we read a couple of older reviews that people had issues with responsiveness form the staff here, but that was not our experience at all. Elaine was always extremely responsive, thorough, and accommodating to our needs. Liz and the bartending staff also did a great job with the day-of operations and everything ran super smoothly. I would recommend this to any bride who wants something unique. It’s definitely not your cookie cutter reception hall, and we loved every minute of our reception!
Pink Ribbon Girls held our annual Ignite the Fight event at Longworth Hall for about 200 people. This was an upscale event and Elaine at Longworth Hall did everything possible to help make our event a success. She allowed us access whenever pos...
sible for planning purposes and we were even able to set up for our event two days early. We needed to be able to project on a large screen, and Elaine had someone paint a large backdrop for us so we didn't need to rent anything. The venue was absolutely beautiful and classic. We loved the exposed brick and the huge bar area. This would be the perfect setting for a wedding reception. We were impressed with the level of service and exceptional quality of the venue.
We couldn't have been happier with our event at Longworth Hall. Cathy and Elizabeth were a joy to work with. They both did everything in their power to assure each and every detail was perfect. As there didn't happen to be an event the night be...
fore, we were able to get in early for set up. The staff was great! They were friendly and so helpful with getting us carts, holding doors and showing us where we could store things. It was also so beneficial that we could even come back the next morning to pick up our items.
We felt that the price package was reasonable and we were given options to work with to add or decrease our budget. We were directed to other services outside of Longworth too. For instance, the caterer we used was a suggestion of Longworth and they too were great to work with.
By the way, one of our guests mentioned that the bartender was the best she had ever seen. This particular guest is a wedding photographer and has worked many weddings. She said that she was amazed how friendly they were, even joking and getting to know everyone's names! Those kinds of things really gave our event that special touch!
We found the facility to be clean, well organized as well as unique and contemporary. We were always met with a smile and friendly greeting and were offered as much time as we needed be it over the phone or in person.
We would highly recommend using Longworth Hall for any function!
I fell in love with Longworth Hall from the minute I laid eyes on the place (exposed brick, wood, big windows, bistro lighting, exposed beams), but was somewhat hesitant based on previous reviews of the poor management. I will say I had to be a...
little organized with details (reminding her prices we discussed and different options that had changed throughout the past 1 1/2 years), but my wedding reception went absolutely flawless!!!
Throughout the entire process, Katherine and Elizabeth were very laid back and fun to work with. They worked with me and were very flexible. The wedding day was absolutely perfect. They had all the candles lit and everything set up before the reception, there was never a line at the bar, and were flexible with when we could pick everything up. I would def. recommend Longworth Hall for the bride that wants that rustic wedding vibe. It's a beautiful hall before you even add the table cloths and center pieces!!!
I recently had a wonderful reception at Longworth Hall. I must have spent five months looking for the "perfect" venue, but we either found super affordable spots that held a car show the week before, or a VA meeting etc., or super expensive ven...
ues that just weren't what we were looking for. No, the rental isn't ultra low in price, but I wanted something that was truly special. At first I was a bit worried about "downtown" due to parking and what not, but Longworth Hall has free parking. At night the building is lit up and it really feels special. Not only could we chose our own caterer (we ended up with one of their recommended ones), but we were able to get in the day before to decorate. I just loved the loft feel of the space. I'm from San Francisco so I didn't want an ordinary "white wall" venue and these folks delivered. The staff went out of their way to help us get everything together and it's such a relief when people smile and seem grateful for your business. Give them a call -- you won't be disappointed. (ps. hats off to Elizabeth who really made sure everything went so smoothly)
