J. Liu of Worthington

was great, the service amazing and the space looked beautiful. Truly an inclusive and affordable event space!

essful. Rita answered all my questions in a timely manner and make the process so smooth. We really appreciate you all!

d bartender Rob were nothing but professional! The venue was set to our vision and we were more than overjoyed! The food was all amazing, and numerous compliments from our guests on the selections, preparedness and service were heard throughout the evening. we highly recommend Rita and her staff and will keep singing J Liu praises as this is a very special place for us. My now husband took me on our first date here, October 6, 2016. It only seemed appropriate to tie the knot here on October 6th, 2019. It was perfect.....

were quickly solved, my friends and family are still commenting how beautiful and special our wedding was. Thank you Rita and J.liu staff!!

e reception! The night of our wedding reception was one to remember it was as if we walked right into a fairytale. The staff was outstanding and so accommodating to our guests needs. The food was absolutely delicious! The chef’s accommodated all of the food allergies present. The night ran so smoothly that all of our guests continue to rave about what an amazing time they had. If you are looking for an establishment that will work to make your dream wedding a reality this is it! A+++

and continue to comment on how great the food was and what a great time they had. The prices were great and I did get dressed at the venue. Highly recommended!!

r communicated with them before my appt like she had promised so my linen color wasnt even there to view. But the biggest and most frustrating thing was when we cut out 2 tables the week of and I told Rita which ones on the layout I wanted removed, I expected my layout to follow those instructions and tables to stay where I had wanted. But when we got to our reception we found that not only had the layout had been changed but the table numbers had been moved around as well. As a result my in-laws had been placed in the back corner(my family had also been placed in a different corner)and believed it had been my intention to put them there, resulting in some resentment for the first half of our reception. I communicated this to the catering manager later in the night as Rita had left without saying goodbye and was promised that she would follow up with me as to why I hadn't been consulted on the change of layout and why she had moved the order of my table numbers but I never got a call or apology. The staff also started to through away peoples names that I had had last cut as a keepsake before the reception was even over. Very disappointing. I will compliment them on having a great bar staff though, everyone has commented on how professional and friendly the bartender was.

she worked with me for over a year planning our wedding. She answered EVERY question I had, she walked us through and helped us out along the way of our planning...from day one she was perfect! I honestly can’t thank her enough for bringing my dream wedding to life. Her staff was polite, professional, fun, SO nice and helpful....they truly made us feel like we were top priority. The food was amazing, the venue is amazing, the staff is amazing....there was not one thing we were disappointed with. Everything was perfect...all because of Rita and her staff! I can’t thank them all enough ❤️

tion at the same place 3) most of our guests are not familiar with Columbus/Worthington, so we were looking for a place that was going to find. J. Liu was a perfect fit for for all of our criteria. The ballroom is beautiful on its own and the decoration options available make it even more so. J. Liu is also located just inside of 270 on 23 which meant that none of our guests would struggle to find it. Add in that there are plenty of hotels available at Crosswoods, just down the road and it was even better. They've also done many ceremony/reception combos and they know how flip the ballroom from ceremony to reception in about an hour; which is a perfect amount of time to take family pictures and recoup prior to the reception starting. The food and drink options available were also top-notch. We did a plated dinner, and the food was incredible. There are many options to pick from and it was tough to do because it was all so good. So many of our guests brought up that they loved the food, something I don't recall being said at any of the weddings I went to this past year. Also, some advice; get the House Salad at your tasting, you and your guests will love it! J. Liu's event coordinator, Rita, was amazing to work with. She met with us many times over the past 18 months to help us figure out what we wanted for the wedding. Discussing table options, arrangement of the room for the ceremony/reception, the type of chair and linen options. I think if we were left on our own to sort this stuff out it would have been overwhelming, but Rita guided us through and we kept our sanity. Rita also went above and beyond to make sure my wife's ideas were realized. When we weren't certain exactly how some table cloth colors would look together from the swatches available. So, Rita arranged a meeting with us and with J. Liu's linen vendor to look at the table cloths on an actual table. Our wedding was pretty much perfect. J. Liu, including Rita and her staff, were a big part of making it such a wonderful evening and I can't thank them enough for their effort in making it so.

s and family!

make sure everything was in order and was very friendly. One of the things we loved about choosing J Liu for our wedding and reception was the fact that we didn’t have worry about contacting several different companies for the various parts that go into a wedding: J Liu handled the food, alcohol, staffing, lighting, linens, tables, chairs, set up, tear down, and coordination. It was perfect.

ecision. Once we were lead to the reception location, our decision was confirmed. Absolutely wonderful! August 18, was the best day ever. Definitely the best bang for you bucks! The staff was extreme helpful from planning period until the main event. The food was magnificent. Serve was very orderly and proficient. I could not imagine having my wedding anywhere else! Thank you for making this special occasion so memorable.

reasonable. Our special day couldn't have gone any better. Highly recommend!!

uld like to make this a restaurant to go to regularly and recommend all of my friends to have their weddings here. There is a park really close by to take pictures and the staff were very friendly as well.

u was above and beyond everything I could have hoped for. We had our tasting (with guests) with Rita and used that time to pick out all of our decor. We paid for the upgraded package to have linens, centerpieces, cake stand and cake cutting, etc. included and that was worth it. Rita’s attention to detail was amazing, and she consistently went above and beyond for us. I had a lot of questions through the process and she was always very quick to reply, regardless of how often I emailed or how many questions I had. She was present on the day of our wedding as well to ensure everything was going as planned. If I had to do it all over again, I would absolutely go back to J. Liu! I also wanted to add that J. Liu invited us back for a free dinner to thank us for our business. They covered our entrees, and provided a free dessert and champagne toast. They really know how to do business!

ich turned out to be a guest favorite. The food was absolutely amazing my guest raved about it. It is the perfect venue if you are looking for an intimate event. Thank you for making our day magical.

easy to plan and enjoy at a time when most would be worried. Everythin went so smoothly and it looked amazing. We’re so happy we chose J. Liu as our wedding venue.

e experience!!! It worked!! Thank you everyone who was part of our special night and for all your hard work!! You are all family now!!! Love the Serb family

calls were returned very promptly, and Rita answered *every single question* that I had... and I had very many. :-) So many of our guests remarked on how well our event was run. The space was the perfect size for our event (~145 people), and coordination with our vendors (florist, cake, DJ) was seamless. Rita was so helpful with the little things. For example, our placecard table also doubled as the favors table (once the reception was underway), and Rita setup the table for us, with 3 different favors, beautifully! Kudos to the rest of the event staff, the servers and bartenders for their professionalism. The food was delicious, and the salad (mixed greens with strawberry, bacon and walnuts) was a huge hit. J. Liu was kind enough to allow us to pickup our decor and other items the next day, as we could not take everything with us at the end of the reception. Top notch! Book your wedding here. You will not be disappointed.

the food tasting and gave us great recommmendations and was able to make special accommodations for our guests with food allergies. The J. Liu staff was friendly, accommodating, and hard working. Special thanks to Rita for her patience and positive, caring attitude. She was easy to work with and went above and beyond to make our wedding day memorable.

immediate families to ensure we were having a wonderful time and enjoying our day. The reception was entirely set-up and cleaned up by the staff, which really made our day that was smoother so we could enjoy the moments that mattered and not stress over the details.

t under fifty people, many venues aren’t willing to book the space for a ceremony or reception without a hefty upcharge to meet the minimum. Thankfully, unlike several venues in central Ohio, J.Liu came to the rescue and provided a beautiful ballroom to accommodate both events at an affordable price. Not only was the staff attentive and helpful, but the event coordinator Rita guided us along every step of the way, from the arrangement of tables and decor, to the orchestration of the big day itself. Without her, this clueless groom wouldn’t have made it through the wedding without losing his mind! Leading up to the big day, Rita answered our emails and phones calls immediately, every time, and put our minds at ease during the often stressful planning phase. She’s great. As mentioned earlier, we had both our ceremony and reception in the upstairs ballroom of J.Liu. During the ceremony the room is partitioned in half, allowing for the traditional rows of chair on either side of the aisle. And more importantly, allowing room and space for the bride to walk down the aisle. The ceremony went off without a hitch, followed by an hour of photographs while the guests enjoyed hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. There are several places to take great photos, including two balconies and an outdoor grassy area near a tall tree. Still waiting on the finished product at this point, but we believe the photos turned out great. On to the food. Go eat it. It’s delicious. My mouth is actually watering now just thinking about it. After an hour of photos we were simply ready to eat. At first glance the menu may seem a little strange with the fusion of Asian inspired dishes paired with more traditional Italian faire. Although the selection varies enough for you to stick with a certain theme, we chose to offer our guests entrees on both side of the spectrum, with an Asian beef dish and an Italian Chicken with red sauce. Honestly we were nervous about the odd choice in entrees before the wedding, but it turned out great and all of guests enjoyed their entrees, perhaps myself most of all. The wait staff and bartender were personable, friendly, and quick. After dinner came the cake cutting, dancing, and general comradery. Once again Rita was there, making sure everything went smoothly. And it did. The night was perfect, and we’ll have fond memories of the entire experience for the rest of our lives. Thanks again to all the staff at J.Liu, and the wonderful Rita!
