We chose Le Meridien Columbus for both our ceremony and reception. This was the best decision we made for our wedding. In the heart of the Short North, the location is unbeatable. ...
The hotel is absolutely gorgeous and offered our guests an excellent and upscale stay for the weekend. As the bride, my group got ready in the presidential suite, which I highly recommend. This gave us (and especially the hair & makeup teams) enough space to get ready for the day. The hotel is connected to The Guild House, so they provide all of the food for the wedding reception. The food was top tier. You have plenty of menu options to select from and you can customize the experience as much as you want. We loved it because we were all in one location and this made the timeline such a breeze. Last, the Catering Sales Mgr. Sheri was our #1 help through it all. You meet with her and the team a number of times throughout the planning process. She was so helpful and communicative with us through everything. If you are considering a location in the Short North, Le Meridien is the place to book.
I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with the Le Meridien event team. I hosted a bridal shower for my daughter at the hotel in July and it was quite simply amaz...
ing. The level of care in the detailed preparation and the day of staff and their flawless execution were phenomenal. I decided to go with a six-course tasting menu and wine pairing which is a bit out of the box for a bridal shower and on complicated side for an event. The team didn’t miss a beat, they listened to my general vision for the event, and coordinated with the chef to come up with spectacular menu that just wowed everyone. The day of staff was remarkable. They delivered the courses and wine pairings to our group of 30 with such precision and attentiveness. Thank you, Le Meriden, for a most excellent experience. My daughter, all the guests, and myself as the host, could not have had a more lovely afternoon.
Amazing venue and incredible staff! They took great care of us on our special day and helped us throughout the entire process of wedding planning. Cannot thank them enough
Best wedding block. So great with us and our guests.
Our wedding was in November 2021. We worked with Sheri throughout our planning process and she was awesome! She was always responsive to our emails and questions, very attentive to...
detail, professional, and helped us seamlessly change our originally booked date due to covid. On the wedding day her and her team ensured everything ran according to plan. They really went above and beyond our expectations to make our wedding day perfect!!! The venue space, as well as the hotel, is so beautiful and elegant and is the perfect location overlooking the Short North. All of our guests, including us, RAVED about the food. It was by far the best wedding food we’d ever had. We can’t say enough great things about The Joseph!!!
Our wedding was in October 2021 and it was beyond perfect. Sheri and everyone at the venue were super helpful and helped us beyond expectation! Any time we had questions or needed ...
to tweak something, Sheri was super responsive and helped us with anything we needed. The venue took so much planning off of our hands, it made the process so simple. Would HIGHLY recommend!
We held our wedding at The Joseph last month. The Joseph is such a beautiful hotel. We loved that it had a big city vibe but it still has the ability to make your event feel very ...
private.
We worked with Sheri and she’s great. I emailed her a ton of questions and she was always very helpful. We planned our wedding from Chicago and she was always willing to let us get a tour whenever we were in town.
The food is catered by Cameron Mitchell and it’s phenomenal. The food was so delicious. We had guests tell us that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had.
Overall, we’d definitely recommend The Joseph. It’s gorgeous with an intimate vibe and great food/ drinks.
My only word of advice is to make sure you fully understand the terms of the contract. There were a couple expenses we got at the end that needed some clarification but nothing outlandish. I’d do it all again If I could!!
The Joseph was the best place to host our wedding. They were wonderful to work with and the space is beautiful. The best part of our reception was the food. It was SO good. It was ...
all hot and delicious and so much better than regular wedding food. All night we got comments about how wonderful the food was and I loved that our guests were so happy. It was great having everything all in one—we didn’t have to rent tables or linens or silverware or deal with purchasing alcohol and my husband loved the Late Night Burgers. Honestly top 5 milkshake I’ve ever had. It was such a seamless experience and looked like we spent quadruple than what we actually did. I was shocked at how reasonable the prices were for the quality and we got Marriott points for our honeymoon. Thank you so much to Sheri and I would recommend the Joseph to anyone!
My husband and I booked Le Meridien Columbus, The Joseph as our reception venue very last minute (due to COVID). We booked the Coleman ballroom with a little over a month left befo...
re our wedding day. Sheri Brock, our venue-supplied event coordinator, helped us so much through a very condensed timeline. She was very patient with us and made the space look so beautiful for us. The staff was so professional and kind. Ian Haswell, the catering manager, was so wonderful as well and kept our event on schedule. My guests raved about how amazing the food was (My husband and I included). We highly recommend hosting an event with them!
In 2019, our daughter and her fiancé chose Le Meridien as their wedding venue. The wedding was on October 3rd of 2020 and it was amazing! The venue was impeccable, safe and very ...
clean. The staff was simply best in class and the food absolutely spectacular. We cannot thank them enough for all they did to make this a beautiful, memorable experience for our family.
The entire staff from the first time visiting the venue through the duration of our wedding was nothing short of exceptional! The level of professionalism and genuine excitement of...
working through wedding details was amazing. We had Oct. 3rd as the initial date, and they were more than happy to work with us and over-communicate as it pertains to changing COVID regulations. The day was just perfect. Special shout-outs to Sheri, Ian, and Kellee who helped the entire event go off without a hitch. Can't wait to celebrate anniversaries and re-live it all!
Venue was amazing! Could have been a bit better with organization on their end but all was good. Was nice because the ceremony and reception were all held in the same place. Also n...
ice because it was catered, through the venue, by CMR so a lot of those extra details were taken care of.
This venue was perfect for our wedding. The staff was courteous and professional, the lighting and set up was classy, and the food was delicious. Our contact, Sheri Brock, was exc...
ellent through our entire process and helped us navigate the ever-changing landscape due to COVID-19. She was compassionate and patient and helped ease our concerns. We would not have had such a successful day without her steady hand.
We booked this venue over 2 years before our wedding and over that time frame our anticipation and excitement only grew. I was worried that it would not meet our high expectations. I was happy to be proven wrong and could not have asked for a better day given the circumstances.
Choosing Le Méridien for our ceremony and wedding was the best choice we made throughout the whole planning process. The Coleman ballroom overlooking High St was perfect and Josep...
h collection gallery space was just perfect for our cocktail hour. Sheri, the catering sales manager is so great to work with, her team is top notch from beginning planning stages all the way to day of.
The hotel is stunning in itself, the catering was second to none (even for vegetarians), the staff takes the best care of you and your guests and they really ensured that our wedding went exactly as planned. My wife and I strongly recommend this venue, best we’ve seen and experienced by far.
We had the best time at the The Joseph! Sheri and Ian were so helpful throughout our entire experience. We stayed at the hotel for the whole weekend, my bridesmaids and I got ready...
in the spa suite, and we also had our ceremony and reception all at this venue. Sheri worked with me to make sure we were aligned on every detail. I felt zero stress the weekend of the wedding and I owe that to the amazing staff at The Joseph. One thing I can't forget to mention is that all of our guests were raving about the food. Many family and friends told us that it was the best wedding food they can remember. If you love a modern venue, I couldn't recommend The Joseph enough. Can't wait to plan some staycations at our favorite Columbus hotel.
The food was phenomenal, the staff was so helpful and kind, and everything was executed seamlessly. The day-of coordinators were so helpful and made us feel so relaxed. The staff l...
eading up to our big day was open to customizations regarding reception layout and food, which made us feel so special. Amazing venue!
Our wedding at Le Meridien was flawless. Sheri helped coordinate throughout the entire process, and Britney was onsite day-of to make sure everything went smoothly. Both were amazi...
ng resources and took care of absolutely everything for us! The venue was perfect, the food was honestly the best that we've ever had, and the rooms are stunning. I would highly recommend booking here!!!
We had the most wonderful experience working with Le Méridien for our October wedding! From the moment we arrived for our rehearsal and throughout the entire wedding, everything wa...
s so stress free. The staff could not have been more amazing to work with and everyone truly went above and beyond. The spaces we used for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were exactly what we were looking for. Simple, neutral and modern with Short North views. We also had the opportunity to spend two nights in the hotel. The rooms are beautiful and service was top notch. Le Méridien is truly such a special place!
Had the best day of my life marrying my beautiful wife at the most beautiful location Le Meridian Columbus, The Joseph!! Everything and everyone involved was amazing!!
Sheri helps you with any questions or concerns you have up until your wedding. Britney helps you through the rehearsal, and the day of. She makes sure everything runs smoothly.

had several guests tell me that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. One of my biggest complaints at weddings is that there is never enough food for the amount people are drinking. The dinner and apps were great. You really should do the late night snacks. We did the Soul Sliders with french fries and milkshakes and my guests RAVED about them. They were soooo good. After drinking and dancing for hours, those milkshake shots were fantastic.
Our room was awesome. The get ready room was perfect.
My guests had a great time. The Short North is such a cool place to get pictures done.
Side note...this isn't a typical wedding venue where they have weddings on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We were never rushed. We never had to deal with another couple. I know we weren't the only couple in the universe getting married that weekend, but they made me feel super special. There was one doorman in particular that said "HEY GIRL!" every time I walked in or out. Did I mention we had a great time?
I originally chose this hotel because of its great location--in the chic Short North and close to so many great restaurants! I feel so fortunate that I was able to stay at the larg...
est suite on the top floor. Our bridal party was very impressed by the great view and the elegant room decor. We were able to fit all our bridesmaids, mothers, hair stylists, photographers, and videographers in the suite on the morning of the wedding and everyone had a great time there.

I cannot even begin to describe how amazing every aspect of planning my wedding with Sheri and the entire team at The Joseph was. From all the details and the amazing tasting food ...
everything was just perfect and incredible memorable. All our guests raved about the hotel and how classy and comfortable it was as well. It was really nice for people to be able to just park their cars for the weekend and have all the options to walk around the short north and explore/shop. Truly had the best wedding day and weekend of my life thanks to The Joseph!
