The Anderson Pavilion

y and accommodating during the the entire journey of our wedding planning and guided us through and answered all our questions in a timely and professional manner. Even during the pandemic the staff always answered all of our questions and kept us updated on new regulations and guidelines that they had to follow. If you want a venue with a beautiful view of the city, great food, and friendly staff then The Anderson Pavilion is your place. They were very hands on and helped us with setting up all of the décor for the reception and took it all down for us and organized it in boxes which was a huge help! Thank you for making our wedding day enjoyable and special for us and all of our guest!

nswers and plans already in place to put our minds at ease that everything was already taken care of. They were flexible, honest, and compassionate during such a stressful time and we appreciated the extra lengths they went to make our dream day come true. The photos we have of our ceremony in the park with the Roebling Bridge as our backdrop could not be more picture perfect and we were able to have our reception directly across the street in the pavilion. We really enjoyed all the outdoor options having a Summer wedding. The views at night only got better as the lights came on in the fountains and our guests loved being able to hangout on the patio throughout the evening. We could not have been more pleased with the staff, the food, and planning services provided throughout. I can't imagine our wedding day having gone better, it really felt like a dream and I have received nothing but compliments from our guests and how much they enjoyed the evening. Thank you!

staff was able to help us plan our ceremony and reception within a weeks time to make sure we could get married on our desired date. When so many others were not up for the task, the staff at Anderson made the planning stress free, took care of coordinating our vendors, setting up the entire room for us, and helping us choose an AMAZING menu. It really felt like all we had do was show up as everything was perfectly in place. From champagne in the bridal suite upon arrival to get ready, lining us up and getting us down the aisle, and a team full of smiles the entire evening, we could not have dreamt up a better wedding celebration. Katy, Christina, and Judi went the extra lengths with nothing but smiles the whole way through. I will hold this venue close to my heart and never forget how perfect our big day was. I love that we were able to get married in Smale Park, to be able to visit our wedding venue for years to come and remember where our journey started is so special to us. Thank you Anderson Pavilion for everything!!

elp and keep me calm. I can honestly say my wedding planning process was much easier having them there. They provided almost everything we needed and offered things we had never thought about such as onsite transportation for our elderly guests. The event went off without a single issue because of them. Katie was our go-to person the day of the event and kept things rolling without delay. The timeline they created was perfect. Also, the food was AMAZING.

demic world. Our wedding turned out beyond perfect, even more perfect than our wildest expectations. We highly recommend the outdoor dance floor on the Pilcher fountains, wedding ceremony in the rose garden and the flaming donuts! All of our guests cannot stop raving about the exceptional staff, food and how much fun they had at our wedding. The staff made sure to follow all ODH guidelines including temperature checks, COVID waivers and wearing masks at all times. Amazingly we never once felt like our wedding was different due to the pandemic all thanks to the Anderson staff. If you want an absolutely unforgettable experience with out of this world pictures have your wedding at The Anderson Pavilion!

ghout the planning process they proactively offered us suggestions as to how to best utilize the facility. The wedding was held on the balcony with a spectacular backdrop, and cocktails and dinner downstairs were delicious. What really stood out that evening again was everyone's commitment to making the day perfect - from the wait staff, AV professional, event planner and general manager - all were there with a smile in their eyes ( and under their masks!) ready to keep the event on track and respond to any request we had. We highly recommend this unique Cincinnati location.

made the switch easily and all of our guests were much more comfortable because of it! It was expensive but reasonable for the location. With so many out of town guests, we wanted to give them a truly unique-to-Cincinnati experience and Anderson Pavilion certainly provided that. I was a little annoyed that we were told not to go to cocktail hour and if I could do it again, I would probably have a cocktail 30-45 minutes, and fewer "structured times" (i.e. speeches, and dances) and more free time to mingle with everyone but that was not their fault. The staff were very easy to work with and accommodating to our requests. Overall it was a great experience and I would totally recommend Anderson to other people. Also, the food was amazing, we had many compliments on it!

hing we needed! Our guests were all obsessing over the entire wedding! Our cocktail hour at the carousel was a big hit and the food was delicious! Our wedding was everything I ever dreamed of thanks to Anderson Pavilion and their team! THANK YOU!

ng and helped to make our big day perfect! From start to finish, Mae & Christina were both professional, extremely event-knowledgable, and all around great to work with. The AP is such a unique and fun space right in the middle of one of the best parts of downtown Cincinnati. We chose this venue because we were able to keep all of our guests in one venue for our November wedding while offering them a fun and different cocktail hour (at the Carousel). They all loved it!! & the views off of the balcony made for some of our favorite pictures. I would highly recommend this venue!! :)

r sit down dinner took about 40 minutes to completely serve. Other than that, everything was spot on. Would definitely recommend!

e sure my husband and I were happy with everything (we made all our cupcakes and they let us store them in the fridge days ahead of the wedding because we ran out of space). I highly recommend this location if you want a beautiful location for guest with unbelievable views as well as smoothly and systematically organization and operation by an exceptional staff.

uick to accommodate and was truly amazing. The day of was a dream come true. Service was amazing, everything went just as we wanted and we could not have had a better day. Thank you Anderson Pavilion for doing such an amazing job.

big day. The food was delicious and we had many compliments from our guests that it was the best wedding food they had ever had! I can't thank Anderson Pavilion enough!!

ams come to life. Anderson is accommodating from placing the dance floor to exactly where we wanted it and having a meal made especially for someone with a lot of allergies. The cocktail hour outside with the suspension bridge in the background was a huge hit with our guests. Everyone also LOVED the food which is all in-house. We can't thank Anderson enough for all they did! There was a Reds game that day which did make parking for our in town guests a little harder, but it was all made easy thanks to the maps Anderson gave us with prices. Guests even got to enjoy the carousel before it closed. Thank you Anderson for being professional and making our day so special.

e event space itself. The carousel was such a huge hit with our guests. The Anderson was the perfect venue for us and I will absolutely recommend this to all in the future.

cess. She was always prompt with response to emails and her designs made our reception absolutely gorgeous and her coordination made our day seamless. The serving staff and coordinators the day of were also incredible. David, Lori and Katie were helping us for the entire week before and even several days after our wedding. They were so attentive and always available if we needed anything. Overall, the entire experience made my wedding day a dream come true. Anderson Pavilion has a staff that made every experience with them a pleasant one. They were organized, reliable, efficient and always respectful. My family was so impressed with the venue that I picked and most of our friends at the wedding insisted that they will get married in this location. My only final comment is that the scenery around Anderson Pavilion is unlike any other. Our guests were mostly from out of town and they were awestruck. It is absolutely gorgeous both during the day and especially at night. If you have never visited this venue, you really must! It was absolutely perfect!

ion at all, so you will have to find a shuttle or a downtown garage and coordinate guest parking yourself. They don't provide parking for vendors or for the bridal party the day of the wedding either--highly inconvenient and costly, as you will likely be expected to pay for your vendors' parking in a garage somewhere (keep in mind also that for a downtown venue, you will pay double for guest/vendor parking on Bengals or Reds game days). 2) the bridal suite is hot, cramped, and very small. It is not equipped for more than 3 or 4 people, so I would not rely on this as a place to get ready the morning of the wedding. We had to get ready in a hallway outside of the public restroom--not ideal if you want nice "getting ready" photos. 3) the staff is the main reason I would not recommend this venue to anyone. The two main people we worked with were Cali and Katie. Cali was very unprofessional--during the initial meetings, she pushed us to use Anderson amenities and go in-house for everything by describing it as "complimentary" but didn't honor this in the end. Katie was our day-of coordinator and was the most difficult to deal with. She acted very put-out to be there, and was so unpleasant and rude that my bridesmaids and vendors were afraid to ask her questions. The rest of the staff in general was sloppy--some of our decorations were broken and other things disappeared completely while no one took responsibility. This was disappointing considering some of it was sentimental (our cake topper for example), and considering the cost we paid for this venue. Overall, would not recommend.

backdrop for our ceremony. The team managed to get us outside even though the morning weather was absolutely horrible. Anderson Pavilion was the most unique venue we could have imagined. All of the various areas allowed us to keep our guests surprised throughout the evening. The cocktail hour took place in front of the venue while people walked by on their way to the Reds game. Our guests got to play cornhole underneath the waterfalls. The food was delicious and unlike anything we had had at any other wedding- a slider bar, and a build your own pasta station. The carousel made for beautiful pictures and hilarious memories. I distinctly remember introducing my new husband to my boss immediately before we climbed onto horses for a ride. Dancing under the stars was a great way to end the evening, again with the Suspension Bridge as the backdrop. My out-of-town family even danced in the fountain. More of our guests than I can remember told us that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The attention to detail from the staff combined with the uniqueness of the setting made it our perfect day. I would recommend the site and the team to anyone.

food was out of this world (everyone there agreed), the timing was impeccable, the suggested vendors were awesome. It truly was the fairy tale wedding we had all dreamed of. I can't accolade them enough for their incredible service and positive encouragement. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a flawless, well managed, worry free and yet magical experience . Thank you so much Team Anderson. We will have the best memories forever because of you guys.

idal party! If you want a fun, new and different location for your wedding this is the place.
