Event Center at Longworth Hall

We selected this venue for our daughter's wedding two years in advance (COVID). Amanda was our event coordinator from the start; then, shortly before the day, Kelsey joined her. They were the best! Explaining everything related to their services, and making recommendations to ensure a successful event. We selected to have the wedding ceremony at the LWH, which also was the place for the family photos. LWH has an ample parking lot (free). Also, security guard at the entrance, with CCTV all around the premises. On the day before the wedding, we set up the decorations, DJ, and conducted the rehearsal. Kelsey was there to assist us with anything we may have needed. On the day of the wedding, the staff at the bar, Tess and Jeffrey, and the security guard Chris, were top-notch. They managed the 120 guests with courtesy, professionalism, and efficiency second to none. The guests loved the Hall. It is a historic building well preserved. We all had a great time, and the LWH staff was a mayor contributing factor to the success of the event! THANK YOU!!

The staff at Longworth were very professional and easy to work with. We loved our beautiful reception venue and have gotten so many compliments on its uniqueness. Many of our guests have said they’d like to have an event at Longworth in the future after attending our wedding. It was a great evening!

We loved having our wedding at Longworth Hall. Huge parking lot for guest to park while having a downtown location. Close to parks for pictures before the ceremony. Easy to work with! Bonus : if there isn't a wedding the next day, you are able to pick up decor and everything the next day! The bartenders we had were amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful venue, very accommodating and helpful. Had all the extras we needed to get things decorated and ready. Staff was easily available and very helpful with anything and everything we needed for our big day.

Longworth hall was absolutely amazing throughout our whole wedding planning process. Amanda was so helpful. We got so many compliments from our guests about the venue space and about how friendly the bartenders were. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue. We are so grateful to longworth!!!

My husband and I got married here in June of 2022 and it was everything we could have dreamt of & more. Amanda and Elizabeth were amazing to work with and made everything go so smooth. Our guests to this day, still talk about how beautiful the venue was that night. Everything that night went perfect. Tessa, the lead bartender was also amazing!! The location of Longworth is perfect- tons of parking and just minutes from plenty of hotels. Our wedding will be a night we will never forget thanks to this amazing venue!

We had a great experience with Longworth! We originally booked in 2019 for a June 2020 wedding. We had to move our reception date twice due to COVID and Longworth was incredibly flexible, which made a super stressful time a little less stressful! Amanda & Elizabeth were great to work with, and everything went well the day of. We also loved that the venue is a little less traditional looking, which was exactly what we wanted. Would definitely recommend!

We booked this venue sight unseen as we were coming from out of town. Amanda was a fabulous communicator and made the process seamless for us. She was also sensitive the fact that we were two brides and made sure all communication stated: bride and bride. The location was perfect, most of our guests stayed downtown, so it was a quick and easy ride for them. We loved that there were staff to help us assemble and tear down. Also, we had a security guard there all night, which was an added bonus. If I had to choose one thing I didn’t love, it would be the layout of the room for the ceremony- the support beams allow for only a few rows on either side and with 150 people the aisle was quite long. For the reception, the layout was totally fine! Would highly recommend the venue!

My husband and I got married in April of 2022 and the space was everything we could have imagined on the day of. Amanda and Elizabeth were very helpful and thought ahead of things that I never would have. We heavily relied on their suggestions and enjoyed the entire planning experience with them!

My husband and I had our wedding reception here in July and we're so happy we did. We had booked the venue in the spring of 2020 before everything shut down, but we felt assured that Longworth Hall would work with us however our plans needed to change. Amanda was very helpful and everything went great the day of. The venue itself is so unique and guests had a great time there. I would highly recommend using them!

My husband and I got married here this past June, and it was everything we could have dreamed of! Amanda and Elizabeth were amazing to work with- both super flexible, available, and helpful to answer all questions at any time. Our guests had a great time- complimented the venue and continue to do so almost two months later! It was truly a magical day. Cannot recommend enough.

I couldn’t say more wonderful things about my experience with Longworth if I tried. As a Covid bride, we had to change our venue, our date, our honeymoon… you know how it goes. Longworth made the process seamless and enjoyable (which I didn’t even know was possible in those moments!). They were kind, encouraging and worked with us on ANYTHING we needed during the entire process. Not only was the staff amazing (specifically Amanda and Elizabeth), but the venue itself is STUNNING. The exposed brick, beautiful fairy lights, rustic shutters with massive windows really made it everything I could have asked for. My entire family, including in-laws, was so happy with our decision to make Longworth our venue. It should have been our first choice, so I’m glad we ended up there. HIGHLY recommend ❤️

The staff at Longworth Hall were all incredibly friendly, helpful, and efficient. They made us feel so at ease throughout the whole process by answering questions, providing quick responses and recommendations, and ensuring our big day ran smoothly. I can not recommend them highly enough!

Wonderful venue!! Our wedding went smoothly and needed minimal decorations with all the built in lights. Ours guests loved the space and we enjoyed every second. No hidden fees, the bartenders were incredible, able to pick up decorations the next day. Highly recommend Longworth Hall!

Highly recommend this venue for a beautiful rustic wedding reception! Not only is there plenty of space, free overnight parking for guests, and built in decorations like string lights - Elizabeth and Amanda were more than accommodating in every way. They went beyond my expectations to ensure the day went smoothly. 10/10!

Longworth Hall was the most perfect venue for our big day. Leading up to the day, the staff there was all so helpful and responsive. The venue itself is gorgeous and spacious. Huge parking lot for guests and great location to its proximity to downtown.

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 reason I knew this was the one as soon as I walked in.

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!

Highly recommend this venue. It is a beautiful space if you're looking for industrial or rustic. We didn't have to decorate much on top of what is already included. Elaine and Elizabeth were very easy to work with and responsive. Definitely helped make our day special.

Choose Elaine and Liz at Longworth Hall and you will not be disappointed. From the initial viewing to clean up the day after the wedding reception, the staff at Longworth continued to impress. Elaine, Liz, Security, bartenders, maintenance - everyone was genuinely there to help! Longworth has so much to offer - our guests were impressed with the unique style, decor and central location. What a gem. We highly recommend Longworth Hall!!!

Longworth Hall will forever hold a very special places in our hearts. Elaine and Elizabeth, along with all Longworth staff, were wonderful to work with. They were very upfront with everything the venue has to offer and were quick to respond and address all questions we had throughout the planning process. They made sure to give us amazing recommendations and ideas throughout planning to help make the venue our own and help our vision come alive and they handled the week and day of flawlessly. Anything we requested or needed, the Longworth staff was on top of immediately! Our big day went so smoothly and was absolutely perfect, we didn't have to worry about a thing going wrong with this team. The venue looked so beautiful, our guests loved it! The service was amazing and we had the best day of our lives here at Longworth!

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!

From the very beginning, Elaine made our experience with Longworth Hall AMAZING! She is a delight to work with and helped make everything run smoothly. We appreciated all of her advice and help in making our vision come true! Elaine was so professional and helped work with many of our other vendors. She also responded so quickly to all of my questions over e-mail. We received so many compliments about the venue and how beautiful it was. We highly recommend having your wedding reception at Longworth Hall!

Longworth event center staff were a pleasure to work with. Elaine was very responsive to emails, and checked on us a few times while setting up the hall the day before the wedding. Elizabeth was also awesome to work with. She discussed the details of the day with me on the phone weeks before the wedding and helped me set up a seating chart.

We approached the venue wanting to flip the space between a full ceremony layout and a full reception set up, and we were told this had never been done. But instead of being turned away Elaine believed in us and worked with every inch of our plan to make it perfect. Elaine was amazing. She was patient and kind and considerate and was always honest with us when it came to planning our night. With every step, Elaine was there the help tailor our evening to be absolutely perfect, and I will be forever thankful for her. Elizabeth too made the last minute detail planning a breeze and was so incredibly helpful the day of. I would highly recommend Longworth Hall to anyone!

Had an wonderful expirence with Longwoth Hall. Elaine and her team were great to work with and made everything easy for us! They helped make our day absolutely perfect!

We had an incredibly wonderful experience with using Longworth Hall for our February wedding. From the responsive communication to assistance with signature cocktails and making our vision become a reality, we could not have done so without the exceptional team at Longworth.

Highly recommend this venue and this great team! Elaine was very helpful with great suggestions for how to best decorate and utilize the space as well as suggestions for outside vendors. She was always available to answer questions or provide a recommendation. The whole Longworth team made the planning process fun and the wedding reception run smoothly.

The venue was super affordable and Elaine, Elizabeth and the entire team were truly great! The accommodations could've have been better!

I highly recommend Longworth Hall for anyone looking for a beautiful venue for their wedding! Elaine and Elizabeth were both so helpful and accommodating. They made everything run smoothly during the planning process and wedding day. They had good suggestions for outside vendors, as well as suggestions for making the space look nice. They were always easy to got a hold of and went above and beyond to help make our special day perfect. All of our guests raved about how much they loved the space. It’s a gorgeous venue with great staff!

We celebrated our wedding ceremony and reception at Longworth Hall Event Center. We couldn’t be happier with how everything went. Elaine was flexible and accommodating, and truly made the whole planning process super easy. Elizabeth took great care of us from our final walk through meeting and during the entire day of the event. All of our guests had an amazing time! It is a gorgeous venue and does not need much decorating with very friendly and helpful staff. Choosing Longworth Hall Event Center made our wedding day extremely memorable and stress free! A big thanks to everyone for all their help and efforts!

Longworth Hall is an amazing reception venue! Elizabeth and Elaine were very helpful and responsive to all of our questions. The industrial aspects of the building and the lighting make it so you don’t need rentals or have to do much additional decorating! Highly recommend!

Elaine is a saint. I wish I could tell you how helpful she was but there are no words! Our wedding took some unforeseen turns that were essentially out of our control. Elaine, and the Longworth Hall staff bent over backwards to help make our day so special. They truly care about your wedding day and it shows. Our wedding reception was perfect! Best decision we made was going with Longworth Hall!

Longworth Hall was the perfect spot for our wedding. Elaine and Elizabeth were so friendly and helpful throughout the entire planning process. They were so patient with me and answered all of the many questions that I had which helped to put me at ease. They went above and beyond to help make our special day perfect! All of our guests loved the venue and mentioned how it was such a great location. I would definitely recommend this spot!

Longworth Hall went above and beyond every expectation my husband and I had for our reception venue! Elaine and Elizabeth were both so helpful and easy to work with. Our guests at the wedding simply loved the venue, and it looked absolutely beautiful. I can't think of a single thing I would have changed with Longworth! I'm so happy we decided to host our wedding and reception here!

Elaine was great to work with and helped us in every way possible. My our wedding day a breeze.

Longworth Hall is the BEST reception venue in Cincinnati. Elaine, Elizabeth and the ENTIRE team at Longworth Hall is incredible. All of our guests were so impressed with the historical aspects of the building and yet loved that the bar line was 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

Longworth Hall was an absolute dream venue. Elizabeth and Elaine were amazing to work with. From start to finish they made sure everything went seamless. The venue is so gorgeous, open and you don't have to do much decorating! There are also really cool old train tracks for a quick picture session before the reception. Thanks you Longworth for an amazing wedding night!

Elaine was amazing! She answered all of my questions and was super helpful throughout the entire process. The staff that worked our event were so nice and made the evening go very smoothly. It was nice to not have to worry about anything and just enjoy ourselves! Such a beautiful venue that we got a lot of compliments about!

The look and feel of Longworth Hall is amazing in itself. The staff is what really sets this place apart. We could not be more appreciative of Elaine and Elizabeth. They took a lot off our shoulders; we can't say enough about them and how special they made our day. Kate & Mike 4.20.18

Longworth Hall staff and Elaine made the wedding planing process so easy! The approved catering companies were so good. We used Be Creative Catering and got amazing reviews from friends and family. Not only were they helpful with the planning , 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

Elaine and team could not have more accommodating and easy to work with! NO STRESS wedding! The venue is lovely- a large dance area was perfect for our group! All who attended said it was so welcoming and a great space to move around and visit with other guests! Thank you!!!

My husband and I had a great experience having our ceremony and reception at Longworth Hall. The space is beautiful with the exposed brick and bistro lighting. I loved that we were able to set up and rehearse the day before. Elaine and Elizabeth were great to work with and always responded to my questions right away. We were lucky to have nice weather on our wedding day in April and there are lots of cool spots outside of the venue to take photos. I would highly recommend Longworth Hall!

Elaine, Elizabeth, and all of the staff at Longworth Hall were such a pleasure to work with! They made everything so easy and reassured me that the Hall would be perfect. From other vendor recommendations to helping set up the venue, I cannot speak highly enough about them and all of the staff at Longworth Hall. It is such a beautiful space, I received many compliments and am very glad we decided to choose them! 5 starts 10/10!!!

I wish I could give Longworth Hall more than 5 starts! The staff and the venue were absolutely amazing. Elaine was one of the most helpful people I worked with during the entire wedding planning process. She was there for my endless emails with 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. The space itself is so unique and beautiful. I have received compliments from so many of my guests. I would choose Longworth Hall again in a heartbeat.

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 down 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. With 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 was absolutely the perfect choice for my wedding! It was such a beautiful venue and not much additional decorating was needed. Elaine was so flexible and accommodating! I was planning my wedding from out of town so she provided me with hotel block recommendations and was excellent at communicating through email. All of my guests were super impressed with the overall vibe of the venue.

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 time 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 Longworth helped make our wedding day an even more memorable experience.

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.
