Such a beautiful venue! Love the rustic/industrial feel and the amount of space the building has the offer. This venue has it all. A HUGE bridal suite and a good sized grooms suite for everyone to get ready - a beautiful atrium to get married in or as a back up rain plan - a beautiful courtyard to get married in - the livery for the reception and a beautiful garden in the back! If I could redo my wedding day, I wouldn’t change a thing and I’d get married here ALL over again.

I hired this venue for my son's rehearsal dinner and I could not have been more pleased at the level of quality and the event space. Everything turned out exactly as I hoped it would. Tim was super to work with and Sue, the catering director did SPECTACULAR. The food was outstanding. We were able to bring in a tent into the garden last minute and everything went as smoothly as possible. It's such a unique property and we had that European feel for cocktail hour and our sit down dinner. I highly recommend The Rankin!

Susan was remarkable! She very sweet and always willing to help. She always made time to talk about things, before and after the event. The venue is beautiful with a lot of character, which helped cut down the cost of decorations. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because you can't bring an outside vendor to cater. We had to use Aramark through Columbus State University. Although their food was good, their service was terrible.
