We just got married at the Glendale Lyceum and truly wouldn’t have wanted to get married anywhere else! Shelby and her staff was amazing and helped everything run smoothly from planning to the day of.
We got into the venue to set up on Friday and didn’t have to get our stuff out until Sunday and that relieved so much stress on the day of.
The venue is absolutely gorgeous and everyone was talking about how amazing it is! The library was recently renovated and we got the most amazing pictures in there! I would book here 100 times over. It was everything we wanted and more!

9/14/24 was our wedding date and we had the most beautiful day! Addi was a great support when I needed late night questions answered and the venue was stunning. They allow you to provide your own alcohol so you can bring whatever you truly like and the selection of caterers that you can choose from were awesome. The venue is just stunning and they even just did a gorgeous update to the library space. There is so many good things to say! I love the bridal (maybe change the decor upstairs for the ladies spaces since the pompous grass isn’t everyone’s style but it wasn’t so much for it to really matter) and grooms suite too. If you are looking for a charming, romantic, with an airy and bright feeling this is your venue.
Any questions?

When I say this was the best day of our lives, it's an understatement. Having my wedding at the Glendale Lyceum was the best decision I've ever made.
Not only do you get the beautiful ballroom for your reception or ceremony if you choose, but you get the Bridal Suite and the Pub to get ready the morning of. The venue is so elegant and historical, but it also feels like home for that reason. You also get the whole weekend when you book, so there's no rush moving your decor in and out of the venue. We got in on Friday and got everything out on Sunday.
During my wedding planning process, the Lyceum had a turnover of staff at the end of 2024, including the event coordinator, who is in-charge of day-of Wedding organizing. I was nervous at first that things would not go according to my plan because of this, but that is the complete OPPOSITE of my experience. Shelby, the new coordinator, is extremely professional and on the ball. I hadn't known her for long until I knew I could trust her with my day. Don't hesitate to trust her with yours!
They also renovated the library right before my Wedding, I was the first to experience it. It is STUNNING. So light and airy and feminine. The sunlight streaming in was gorgeous for my pre-ceremony pictures.
The photos I have attached speaks for itself. It was a fairytale day! Whether you want an indoor or outdoor ceremony, the wedding will be perfect if you choose this venue. Do yourself a favor!! It's worth every penny!

I'm not sure where to begin about how wonderful our experience was with the Glendale Lyceum! They came to the rescue when our previous venue in Kentucky went bankrupt just 6 months before our wedding. And my husband and I can honestly say that we are actually really happy they went bankrupt because we wouldn't have ended up here! Our wedding date was surprisingly still available, it was kismet. We had contracts with our other vendors and they so kindly worked with us, allowing us to keep them. Addi seriously helped make our day so perfect and run extremely smoothly. If there were any hiccups, we haven't heard a peep about it! She was always so quick to respond, helpful and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Addi put a lot of time and energy into making our day perfect, and we cannot thank her enough!
We loved how unique the Lyceum is. It's stunning both inside and out. We loved the historic charm of it, and got so many compliments from guests at how they loved how different it was from so many other weddings they've been to. We honestly didn't set much up for wedding decor as the building itself offered more than enough beauty on its own. Just some simple flowers in mason jars, and Addi put some votives around as well. There are already twinkle lights on the ceiling too, so really what more could you ask for?? You honestly would never know that it's a few years shy of being 150 years old, the building is kept in such great shape. The bridal suite was so pretty. Tons of natural light, and the decor was perfect. It was very spacious too. I had 7 bridesmaids, 2 moms and a grandma up there and there was definitely room for more. There is a pub downstairs for the guys to get ready, and we also held our rehearsal dinner down there as well. The area for outdoor ceremonies is just magical. The wedding tree offers such a pretty backdrop, along with lots of trees and bushes that make it quite private back there. The lawn is fairly flat, and our flower granny was able to walk down with no issue!
If I could give 10 stars I would! You can tell the care that is put into the Lyceum, and the beauty of it is timeless. You won't regret having your wedding here.

We had such a positive experience with the lyceum! Addi, the event coordinator, was so lovely and professional. She was quick to respond to questions and she handled things without letting us find out about them. We loved having access to the venue all weekend and how convienent that was. This was a perfect vintage, classy, venue and we would reccommend this to everyone. We had both the ceremony and reception inside and it was perfect

Not only does venue offer exceptional beauty and layout for the perfect wedding, Addie our venue coordinator was always on top of everything. Communication was prompt and she was always going above and beyond her duties to help ensure our wedding was exactly as the bride had always dreamed of.
We looked at a lot of different venue's and I have to say I do not think we could have picked a more perfect place. Everyone had a great time .

We feel so glad we got married here.
Initially what attracted us to the Lyceum was the look of the ballroom and the library. The windows, chandeliers, and fun wallpaper had just the look we wanted. Our guests loved exploring the old building, which the Lyceum staff keep in great condition.
The reason I ended up booking the Lyceum was that after reading reviews of venues who make promises to help you coordinate details on the day just to fall through or go missing, I looked hard for a venue I thought had trustworthy staff/coordinators. The Glendale Lyceum definitely met this criterion for me- Addi the Event Coordinator gave me the impression she was as invested in the success of our wedding as I was. She's an excellent business woman in that she does not overpromise, but she definitely over delivers. She put so much energy into helping our friends and family on the day of, helping me coordinate details before the wedding day, and anticipating needs we didn't know we had. Such a hard worker, a talent, and a generous person.
After Addi and the Lyceum's beauty, our favorite part about getting married here was the getting ready rooms. The bridal suite has a kitchen and provided plenty of space for my 8 bridesmaids, moms, sisters, stylists, and extra friends. My bridesmaids and I noticed how clean everything was right away when we arrived. The groomsmen had a "pub" to get ready in- a huge room in the basement that gave them plenty of space to spread out, play video games, watch sports, make food and drinks, and get ready for the day. Many venues we toured gave little attention to the groom's getting ready space, so we really appreciated such a memorable room for the men to spend the wedding day.
The Lyceum has a list of preferred caterers to choose from, and we loved our choice, the Village Pantry. Food was delicious and service even better.
Other features we appreciated: plenty of parking, wheelchair lift, ability to bring our own alcohol, allowed to set up decorations the day before, close to Glenwood Gardens for pictures, plenty of bathrooms, speakers to play music if you don't have a DJ,
We felt worried the dance floor wouldn't be large enough, but our wedding of 190 had a crazy dance floor and we had plenty of room.
Thanks so much to Addi and the Glendale Lyceum for all you did for us.

We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding. We fell in love as soon as we saw it, and it was perfect. The building itself has so much historical charm, and we received so many compliments on the venue throughout our reception. Addi Richardson was our Event Coordinator, and she is top notch! So detail-oriented and responsive--she was so helpful throughout the entire process!

We had an absolutely fantastic wedding at the Glendale Lyceum. The staff was so easy to work with and our wedding went off without a hitch. If there were ever any issues throughout the day, we never had any idea. Their ballroom was so stunning decorated for our wedding. It was an absolute dream wedding and we were so impressed with how it was all handled. Addi was a dream to work with. She was knowledgeable, helpful and always responsive. Couldn’t recommend this stunning, historical venue more.

Our wedding at The Lyceum was unforgettable! We could not have asked for a better experience. The venue itself has so much historic charm, and we recieved compliments from many of our wedding guests about the elegant vintage feel that the space brought to our celebration.
The Lyceum has been lovingly cared for for many, many years, and it shows in the thoughtfulness and attitides of their amazing team. Like many couples, our wedding was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, but Devon and her team were flexible, thoughtful, and supportive as we made the difficult decision to postpone our large celebration. As our new date approached, Devon was with us every step of the way: helping us design our centerpieces, coordinating communications with vendors, reminding us of important details, and ensuring that our wedding weekend went off without a hitch.
We are so grateful to have had such a terrific experience, and we'd recommend the Lyceum wholeheartedly.

If you are looking for a wonderfully elegant reception venue in the greater Cincinnati area, I would highly recommend the Glendale Lyceum. Not only a gorgeous space but also has such a rich history that was a perfect match for my daughter and her husband. Devon, the Lyceum’s wedding coordinator, was terrific to work with throughout the whole year of planning. She was so helpful and gave us terrific suggestions and tips and had many decor items that pulled our event together. She even picked up our linens for us to save us a trip. We loved the flexibility being able to do as many DIY projects as we wanted. It was terrific to be able to decorate the day before and to be able to use the gorgeous bridal suite and groom’s pub areas to get ready on the wedding day. It was a great way for the bridal party to enjoy the whole day together. Lastly, we really appreciated being able to clean up the following day so we didn’t feel rushed. Thanks again Devon for helping us put together such a great event!

We just hosted our daughter's wedding reception at the Glendale Lyceum and could not be happier. Everything went perfectly, from start to finish! Devon Bitzer was our coordinator and helped with valuable advice on everything from caterer, to cake, to DJs to flow of the evening. She even made a run for liquor when it looked like we were going to run out!
The venue itself is gorgeous and was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The upstairs was the perfect spot for all of the girls to get ready and the guys enjoyed the pub downstairs too. The entire staff was very helpful.
The whole day felt very much like a family event we hosted in our own (really nice!) home - which was exactly perfect! We'll definitely be recommending the Lyceum to our friends for events! Thanks so much!!

We fell in love with this location after doing extensive research online. We were hooked after seeing the photos; the picturesque setting and intricate historical detail fit what we were looking for and was everything we envisioned. Take a visit to see the place in person and you will fall in love.

The Glendale Lyceum was the best place to have my reception! As soon as I walked in I could see the potential and envision my reception. The space was amazing and the staff was impeccable. Words can't express and I can't give enough stars for how special my day felt due largely in part to the Glendale Lyceum.
Cindy and Devon are amazing to work with and do everything thing they can to make your day the best day :) If you choose this venue you will not be disappointed!

We had our wedding reception at The Glendale Lyceum. Cindy was super accommodating, helpful and responsive! Planning was extremely easy and smooth with her! The girls and I got ready in the bridal suite upstairs while my husband and groomsmen hung out in the pub downstairs. It was a perfect set up with plenty of space. The reception was fabulous, the space has this warm feeling that just can't be described and isn't captured in photos. We got so many compliments on how beautiful the Lyceum was. We couldn't have chosen a better location to celebrate the best day of our lives!

We held our wedding reception at the Lyceum, and it was everything I’d want in a venue and more! Until my wedding planner told us about it, I had never heard of the Glendale Lyceum, but I’m so glad she did, because we LOVED it for our venue. There is so much character and charm, and I’d never been to anything like it before. Throughout our wedding planning process, people would ask us what our venue was. When we told them, so many people/vendors would comment on what a gorgeous venue it was, and they were all right. Not only did we love the look of the place, but the service from Cindy and David from the Lyceum was top notch! They let us visit multiple times so we could get a good idea of the layout, we were allowed to come the day before to set up, and we could leave our stuff overnight after the reception and come pick up the next day. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors, resulting in a great overall flow for our reception and they were just so polite and friendly. The fact that we could bring in our own alcohol was also a huge plus, and saved us so much money in our budget. I really can’t say enough good things about this place, and I’m so glad we chose it as the backdrop for our special day!

Great venue. Personal service. Was super affordable, very classy. Unfortunately the Lyceum board is making some changes and I worry the new system will be less personal. Used to be you could use who you wanted and everything was included. Not any more. Cindy Taylor has done it all. She is amazing. Glad we were under the old system with her. Will still be beautiful, just more expensive for less service. This was a gem. Worried it will become another expensive venue.

We are so glad you had a wonderful experience with your event! We certainly agree that The...
Glendale Lyceum is a unique and beautiful venue. It is true that we are making some changes to the contract; an historic facility such as ours takes an incredible amount of time and energy to maintain, and it has been many years since we have reviewed and updated our policies. While the pricing has been modestly adjusted, we are confident that the top-notch service that Best of the Knot award-winners i-do-weddings will provide as Venue Coordinators will greatly exceed our clients' expectations. The Glendale Lyceum will certainly remain a stunning venue, with a unique vintage feel at a cost that is more than competitive with venues in the same arena.

The first time I saw the Glendale Lyceum, I knew it would be the perfect location for our August wedding reception. We could not be more happy with our selection! The space was the perfect size, and we loved the beautiful light-filled main room. The chandeliers, french doors and mantles added touches of elegance and the side areas were ideal for the flow and format of the evening. While the space made for the perfect backdrop, it’s the Glendale Lyceum team that make it the best place in Cincinnati to have a wedding reception. Cindy and Kevin were so flexible, reliable, easy going and knowledgeable throughout the entire planning. They coordinated very well with our vendors and helped us completely customize the layout and pull of our vision. We’re so grateful for our experience with the Glendale Lyceum and they have our highest reccommedation!

I would recommend the Lyceum to anyone! The venue is beautiful. It has several rooms that you can use for a variety of purposes - we used the patio for games, whiskey tasting in the library, cake display in the sun room, and dinner and dancing in the main hall. They have a 'getting ready' area upstairs that is newly-renovated and to die for (think movie-set makeup mirrors and lights)!
Cindy and her team are fantastic! They made everything so easy. We were able to get in early and set up - which is huge for the borderline perfectionistic bride who wants to do everything herself. I almost can't believe how flexible they were!!
On top of all that, the Lyceum allowed us to work with whatever vendors we wanted. Again, unbelievable. We could chose our caterer/bakery, bring our own drinks, work with any band, and bring in specialty providers. In addition, most of the vendors we spoke to listed the Lyceum as one of their favorite places to work. Since they have such a great working relationship, I had to do significantly less coordinating. For example, we used the Glendale Florist and I didn't have to do anything beyond deciding on flowers - they coordinated delivery and set-up times! Whew!
It's also worth mentioning that Cindy was great at making recommendations. From the layout of the rooms, to linens, she allowed us to leverage her expertise - most of us will only get married once, Cindy does this 20+ times a year! The pricing is great as well, it's itemized and you know where your dollars are going. I didn't feel duped - which is wonderful.
If I had to do it all over again - I would choose the Lyceum in a heartbeat!

The Glendale Lyceum was the perfect location for our fall wedding! The Lyceum had the warm romantic decor I was looking for. An added bonus, Cindy and Kevin are not only accommodating but organized and laid back. No request was too much and there were no hidden fees. Everything was discussed up front and we could change our mind at a moments notice. We held our ceremony on site as well and weather was a potential issue. They let me wait until the morning of the wedding to decide how we would proceed. It was such a relief to know that I had options! Definitely consider checking out the Lyceum. It was a perfect fit.

This is a hidden gem in Cincinnati. We booked the Lyceum with more than a year before our 5/2/14 wedding. From the minute we saw the red-bricked building, we met the manager Cindy and saw the inside... both my now-husband fell in love. It was the second venue I looked at and refused to look anywhere after. I'm telling you, this place is beautiful... everyone thought it was beautiful and the pictures reflected the beauty of the building. You don't have to do too much decorating because the building does it all for you. On top of that, we were received like family and treated like family from both Cindy and Kevin. Oh, and on top of the beauty... you get to pick all of your own vendors instead of a list of vendors you HAVE to choose from. Your wedding can be your own. It's perfect. I cannot say enough about the Lyceum, Cindy, Kevin and everything that was my wedding. Amazing. :)

The Lyceum really is the PERFECT place to get married! It is absolutely stunning and Cindy and Kevin are SO HELPFUL! They were so accommodating to any of my preferences on how I wanted the room set up. They went out of their way multiple times to make sure everything was as we wanted. We were planning to have Graeter's Ice Cream at the reception and found out the Lyceum didn't have freezers...somehow, the day before my wedding, there was suddenly a freezer. These people are the BEST, really. If you choose to have your wedding at the Lyceum, I guarantee you will not regret it.

The Glendale Lyceum is one of the most charming and beautiful place to have your wedding reception. The library, the gold chandelier, fire places, and the porch! All adds grace and class to anyone's big day! It's the perfect size for a relatively small wedding (around 130 people) to give you that family coziness feel. And Cindy is just great. She will do her absolute best to make sure your night is perfect. We love the Glendale Lyceum!!!

I think the Glendale Lyceum is one of the best kept secrets in Cincinnati. The venue is incredible. It is absolutely gorgeous! We were going for that modern meets country club meets Victorian feel and the Lyceum definitely has that. Cindy was by far my favorite vendor to work with. She is so easygoing and will make anything happen. The little details are my favorite parts of a wedding and by having our reception at the Lyceum, I was able to do as many little details as I wanted. Bottom line: if the Glendale Lyceum is in your budget, I would make it happen. You won't regret it.

I cannot say enough good things about the Glendale Lyceum. I feel like it is a hidden gem. My husband and I got married here and enjoyed working closely with Cindy. I do not know how she does it, but she was SO helpful and always so sweet. She was great about letting us come to see it and meeting with us. She was very accommodating and was quick to return our emails with any questions. She seemed genuinely excited for us and wanted to help in anyway she could. The others that work with Cindy including Kevin and Robert were very helpful and accommodating as well.If you are considering the Lyceum you may want to check out their Facebook page. Cindy takes pictures at each of the events and posts them to the Lyceum FB page. This was great to help get ideas and to get an idea of how to set up the floor plan for various numbers of guests, for a reception with a ceremony there or without, etc. Also, at the Lyceum, you bring in your own caterer, and also your own alcohol, which can be a budget friendly opportunity. It's not like a lot of other places that we checked into in that don't pay per head no matter how old they are, and no matter whether they will be drinking or not, and you don't have to meet a minimum. There is also plenty of parking onsite.

The Lyceum is a beautiful backdrop for a wedding and/or reception. We held our reception there and worked with a great team. They have audio/video setup so we were able to do an introduction slideshow for our wedding party. They were so easy to work with, and they let us start dropping things off a few days early and even help clean up a little the next day. They allowed us to use sparklers for the sendoff and have a nice library area and restroom facilities. The place is so well decorated on the inside that it doesnt take too much decoration for the wedding. They also have a full kitchen for any caterers and a bar setup too. Nice little patio for drinks and appetizers. Really really love this venue!

The Glendale Lyceum is a masterpiece. A country club located in Glendale, Ohio, the Lyceum's ceremony/reception venue is located in a beautiful, historic building. The staff, Cindy and Kevin, are some of the nicest people I've ever met. They went out of their way to make our day feel special and to make everything perfect. They listened and were very kind as I wrote about four hundred nervous emails between booking and event. Though it is not the cheapest venue you'll find, it is the finest. You must provide your own caterer, etc.
