The Anderson Pavilion

venue is stunning and it was turned into the day of my dreams!

them. The chef was wonderful and the food was amazing. The location of The Anderson is absolutely beautiful as it looks out at Smale Park, Roebling Bridge and The Ohio River. We cannot say enough wonderful things about The Anderson and their wonderful staff. If we could throw a party here once a year, we would definitely do it!

raining the morning of our wedding and they had both the Rose Garden set up and the indoor backup plan set up just in case but we were able to have it outside. We highly recommend them and you will not regret it, the venue is beautiful.

di were outstanding. They were welcoming, friendly, organized, hard working, professional and got the job done without a hitch. The staff that served our guests the day of the wedding provided superb service and were very kind. Our guests gave us many compliments on the appetizers and dinner that was served. The chef did an excellent job creating more than the typical wedding fare. We had never heard of Anderson Pavilion before doing our wedding research, now I can say from first hand experience it is a gem in Cincinnati and an awesome venue.

anted and then get to the happy hour (using the carousel!) and the reception we were looking forward to!

e that everything happened so flawlessly. Also, hats off to our chef for the amazing menu for our plated dinner. We received compliments all night on the incredible food.

From the very beginning, they were a breeze to work with. Our original wedding date was set for May 16, 2020 and when the pandemic hit they were so thoughtful, quick to respond, and rapidly set a new plan into motion. The food is UNBEATABLE and they are willing to accommodate special requests. Best of all, I didn't have to think at all day-of - Mae and the rest of the team took care of all set up, receiving vendors, supervising decorating, welcoming guests, coordinating the bridal/groom party and times, making sure we had both food and drink, and break down. Would choose them again and again!

regarding the venue, their staff, and their food! I can not say enough good things about the place!

y and were always checking on us. They coordinated everything with our vendors as well, so we didn’t have to worry about that either. My husband and I were very pleased with everything and would highly recommend Anderson Pavilion!

ning stage; to the special event for the tastings; to the walk through; to the final niceties; to the event itself. You hosted the perfect event for us! The compliments are still rolling in today! Everyone was blown away by the beauty of the event center, the fabulous food, the great drink selections and the service from the staff. The guys loved the cigar and Bourbon Bar The use of the outdoor area added to everyone's pleasure. Please tell the chef the food was outstanding!!! It was a first class affair and exceeded all of our expectations! The Bride and Groom loved it all. They were so happy and the sparklers were a wonderful surprise sendoff for them. They were especially happy for the doughnuts and cake waiting for them in the car!! Thanks so much!! Mother and Father of the Bride

d dance without feeling too enclosed. When I first met Mea, Christina, Brandy and team at our planning/tasting I didn’t know what to expect but they were very welcoming, had the entire place set for our viewing and the food was AMAZING! I’ve never done a tasting before sowe were expecting a piece of protein cut until fours or sharing a twice backed potatoe, you know something simple, BUT NO they made full individual entrees for us just as it would be served the day of! I was blown away! They accommodated every request, accepted crazy changes to numbers, allowed for my parents to customize the bourbon tasting (which they brought out full wooden barrels - very cool), had an awesome flaming donut bar, and helped my parents surprise us with a sparkler exit! The night was so perfect that friends and family are still talking about it! I would highly recommend AP for your wedding reception! The food was great, the service was impeccable and attentive, the team was beyond friendly and I am so thankful!

ey were so amazing and prompt with communications and I could tell they wanted us to have the best day ever. I grew up in Cincinnati and have ridden on the indoor carousel but never knew there was a venue underneath and that they had their own kitchen!! Having a carousel for our cocktail hour was unforgettable. Taking pictures on it and being able to ride it with our guests was so much fun. Would highly recommend. We had our ceremony inside and we brought in our own arch and they helped set everything up. They switched the room for the reception when we went up to the carousel for cocktail hour. The lighting sets the mood for each part of the night as you can choose what you want from so many options (rainbow for dancing!). I was in contact with Mae the most and she was responsive via email and phone. She is the sweetest!! Christina is amazing as well and is a bada**. She helped step in for Mae when needed and was able to get things done. Especially during COVID, the team kept us up to date of what was changing and what we could do. We felt like we were always in good hands. The tasting and food were SO GOOD. Their food is amazing - we are still getting compliments almost 2 months after. Highly recommend the mushroom ravioli. They were so accommodating for any crazy thing we thought of. The day of the wedding, Katy and Anne were with us all day starting in the morning and got us anything we needed and made sure everything was set up. Christina, Mae and Brandi were there for the wedding and made sure everything was perfect. When my soon to be husband stepped on my dress minutes before the ceremony, Anne helped sew my buttons back on! And when our videographer didn't show up, the girls all stepped in to record and make everything right. They cleaned up all of our items at the end of the night and we picked it up the Monday after the wedding. I want to get married again just to see my friends that work at AP and enjoy the food and venue. :)

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!!
