There is no other place as magical as Hotel Covington and Madison Event Center to make your wedding day a dream come true. Despite any bumps in the roads in planning - this team makes it all worth it in the end.
Where do we even begin? The Madison Event Center/ Hotel Covington Staff has been phenomenal since day one. We worked extensively with both Ashley and Zoe. They probably answered hundreds if not thousands of emails I sent them! You can tell they love what they do and want the best for their couples. I had a couple moments where I seconded guessed every decision I made, and Zoe called me to talk though it all. She is an angel and the sweetest person I had the honor of working with and knowing.
We had our tea ceremony and regular ceremony at the Hotel Covington and reception at the Emerald Room at The Madison. The entire day was beautiful! The staff checked in on us often and made sure our parents/grandparents had everything they needed :) The staff also helped us clean up everything at the end of the night! We are sincerely grateful we got married here :) Thank you for everything.
Hands down the most gorgeous venue and incredible staff. All starting with Ashley and Zoe making sure every detail of our day was planned out and going to be perfect and ending with with amazing event staff headed up by Miss Patty C, Captain. Miss Patty really went above and beyond to make sure our special day was amazing and perfect. Our guests cannot stop talking about the hospitality from the hotel staff and the beautiful atmosphere.
Any questions?
If you’re looking for a hotel for your rehearsal dinner/wedding needs in the Downtown Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area, I would highly recommend considering Hotel Covington. My husband and I ended up choosing Hotel Covington for both our rehearsal dinner and our rooms/hotel block for our wedding in February 2020. Once we did a tour of the rooms at Hotel Covington, I had my heart set on staying there. The rooms are just so beautiful and create the perfect atmosphere to prepare for your wedding. The staff at Hotel Covington were so great to work with and everyone who stayed there thoroughly enjoyed their experience.
With respect to the Rehearsal Dinner, we loved the menu options available, and from a pricing perspective felt that it was a great value for the quality of food compared to some other local options. We were also so happy that the Chef and staff at Hotel Covington were able to work with us to customize the menu to meet our dietary needs. Being vegan and having about half of our rehearsal party vegan/vegetarian, it was really important to my husband and I that there were great-tasting vegan options for each of the courses. I think many places we looked at would have treated our dietary needs as an after thought and provided us with a salad, simple entrée, and no dessert. However, Hotel Covington did such a great job of working with us to pick multiple vegetarian/vegan options that anyone would be thrilled to have. The food was exceptional, the room was gorgeous (they make it so easy for you to decorate to your tastes ahead of time), and the staff was all so friendly and provided amazing service. We loved our experience with Hotel Covington and believe anyone else who would choose to stay there would have an amazing time as well.

Thank you so much Dana! We are thrilled to hear you and your husband had such a great experience with us for your Rehearsal Dinner & Room Block. Congrats!
Elegant hotel and is unique enough that our guests loved it. The rooms are large and have high ceilings. You feel like you are in luxury. We recommend the Roebling Suite for the bridal party and also for the bride and groom. Food was excellent and the staff was extremely professional. The night was flawless and flowed smoothly. Great spaces for our ceremony and our reception. Zoe, our wedding coordinator, was extremely helpful and accommodating from the beginning to the end. Jim was amazing as well when it came to booking hotel rooms. Flawless again. Great hotel even if you live in KY or Cincinnati.
