The Anderson Pavilion

I cannot possibly say enough good things about Anderson Pavilion. They worked with us from start to finish to help us pull off exactly what we wanted, even when we weren't able to articulate it. The Suspension Bridge made the most beautiful backdrop for our ceremony. The team... Read More 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.

I can't begin to say enough nice things about Anderson Pavilion! We were so lucky to have found this venue for our wedding reception. The staff was absolutely incredible throughout the entire experience. Cali was amazing during the whole process. She was always prompt with... Read More 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!

Everyone at the Anderson Pavilion were amazing. I loved that I didn't have to stress on my wedding day, worrying about vendors, setting up, etc. Cali and David were incredible and were able to handle everything and answered every question I had.

I can not say enough great things about the staff at the Anderson !! The attention to detail and friendly staff ( especially Lori) made the night perfect. I have only received compliments about everything from the food , to the service and the event space itself. The carousel... Read More 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.

I would not recommend this as a wedding venue. The pros: the facility itself is pretty and clean. The culinary group also makes delicious food. The cons: 1) parking was an absolute nightmare. Anderson does not provide any type of parking solution at all, so you will have to... Read More 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.

What a top notch team of wedding planning and catering with the Anderson Pavilion Culinary Group and Premier Parks! I thought it was a truly amazing event, but when most of my guests said, "Best wedding ever!" I knew I wasn't making it up. The food was out of this world... Read More (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.

Sweetest Day Wedding

I really loved the venue! Everything came together so beautifully. We were married in the Rose Garden and had cocktails in the Pavilion and around the Carousel. The staff was great and very attentive to my husband and I as well as the entire bridal party! If you want a fun, new... Read More and different location for your wedding this is the place.
