The Clintonville Woman's Club is a wedding venue located in Columbus, OH. With a welcoming ambience, it is ideal for couples hoping to celebrate their love and commitment against a memorable backdrop.
The Clintonville Woman's Club was founded on February 25, 1939. It was established by six local ladies who had met at Mrs. Frank Hiatt's home on February 4, 1939. There, they discussed the need for a charitable, cultural, and civic group for their community. On April 23, 1965, the group created the Club House, which has been expanded and enhanced over the years. Today, it serves as an inviting setting that serves both the people in the surrounding area and its members.
There are both indoor and outdoor spaces that couples can use for their wedding at The Clintonville Woman's Club. Smaller events can be hosted in the gardens, which feature shaded areas. Special occasions can also be held in the multi-level ballroom. Its cathedral ceilings, hardwood flooring, and exposed wood beams can complement a range of wedding themes. Its neutral color palette also makes it an ideal canvas for different visions. Other event spaces include the private dining room and two meeting rooms. The venue's director, Tammy Genovese, works with couples throughout the planning process and has three decades of experience. Catering is provided as well, with the expertly prepared dishes aesthetically presented on their bone china. In addition to wedding receptions, this venue may also be used for rehearsal dinners and other occasions. For you and your guests' convenience, there is ample parking.

Price: 5/5
Venue itself: 4/5
Communication; 2/5
The CWC is a beautiful wedding venue in a great location. The outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous and they have lots of decor that can be borrowed.
Unfortunately we had a negative experience, which may have been almost entirely due to planning our wedding while a staff transition was occurring. We were handed off between 3 separate event coordinators, and it did not seem that much was communicated to the last wedding coordinator. We had a very difficult time getting ahold of the venue in the weeks leading up to the wedding and even had to call, email, and stop in person before we finally had a meeting with our final coordinator. It seemed as if we were starting fresh to tell the last coordinator all that we had already planned, and this was all occurring in the last two weeks before our wedding.
At the end of the day we had a beautiful wedding, but unfortunately this vendor caused us the most stress in all of our wedding planning.

My husband and I had our wedding here in June, and for the most part we loved our planning process and actual wedding day here! We ultimately felt like it was a 3.5/5 star review of the experience.
The best parts: The setting is absolutely gorgeous for an outdoor wedding! The gazebo outside is lovely. We had about 70 guests, and it seemed to fit them well. We were able to use a grassy space outside for the cocktail hour and reception, which offered guests a nice way to socialize and move around.
A major benefit to this venue was that they set everything up for us— so no one had to worry about that extra task during the wedding weekend. They had a lot of decor items available for use, so it limited how much we had to purchase and bring ourselves. Kristen took time to meet with us ahead of time to get details sorted out, and was easy to contact with questions in the planning process.
Things we didn’t love: I’ll preface to say that some of this could have been our misunderstanding. However one thing that still sticks with us, is that as we were socializing near the end of our reception, Kristen came up to us asking how we were paying for everything. Luckily we had a credit card on hand to give her, but it felt awkward to give that to her while we were talking with guests at the reception. Looking back at our contract, payment was to be given the day before the wedding, but with the craziness of planning, it completely slipped our mind. We wish we would have been asked by the staff to pay ahead of time, as we would have gladly done so.
We also were under the impression that the venue was able to keep our decorations for us for a couple of days, and that we could pick them up the Monday after our Saturday wedding. We were told at the reception that it all had to be taken home as soon as the reception was over, which created a scramble for which family members were taking things home for us. Again, could have been our misunderstanding, but we had the impression from our meetings pre-wedding that it wouldn’t be a problem.
And then little things, like the food not being ready quite on schedule. We had a morning wedding with a late afternoon wedding happening after us, and the tear down happened while we and some guests were still there. It just felt like a little chaotic of a way to end the event. We knew that could happen with a quick turnaround of events, but just felt a little stressful.
One thing to know: We did not have a DJ, because we weren’t doing dancing. Without a DJ, we had to bring our own equipment for sound (mics, speaker for music/mics) during the outdoor ceremony. They did have AV equipment inside, but not outside.
Overall, we would definitely recommend this venue to others, but would just offer those “heads up” things, so that they could be better sorted out ahead of time. It was a beautiful day and all of our guests had wonderful things to say about the setting and the staff! Staff was very helpful and kind.

I was very pleased with Kristen and the Clintonville Women’s Club. We had our wedding there in the spring on a beautiful sunny day out in their garden under the gazebo. Our reception was held inside their ballroom and everything was just as I imagined. Kristen was wonderful to work with and she carried out my vision exactly. It was a beautiful wedding in their intimate clubhouse setting. The cake and the food were delicious and I wouldn’t change a thing. I showed her a picture of what I wanted my cake to look like and that’s exactly what they delivered. I didn’t hear any complaints at all about the food. It was all very affordable and just what we wanted.

Cannot praise my experience working with Kristen, and having our wedding at CWC enough. We made multiple custom requests such as using our own wine glasses, off the menu items, and a special sequence of events, all of which Kristen worked to make happen for us. She was attentive, responsive, and always in good spirits. We used supplies CWC already had available from previous couples, and donated some of our own. BYOB helped us offer nice beer, wine, and spirits affordably. Sound system was incredible. Thank you for everything!

We worked with Kristin for over 2 years on our wedding that we had to reschedule 2-3 times because of covid. Through all that she was always gracious and flexible. Working with her felt very relaxed. She told you what she would take care of and then she did it. The day of was great, Kristin's team took care of all the decorations and delicious food. They were there for anything we needed. You get a lot here for the price!

We attended a family wedding in July 2022 and CWC didn’t disappoint. The setting for an outside ceremony was beautiful and the venue inside was perfect. The food was delicious with something for everyone. The whole day ran smoothly and the staff were friendly with nothing being too much trouble. A great venue!

lovely as the inside. Kristen was wonderful to work with and all of the staff there are real pros at everything they do. They take care of so many details and the cost includes the food, use of the
facility, and even the wedding cake. Highly recommended.

My husband and I had our wedding at CWC in May 2022, both the ceremony and reception. The venue, the staff and Kristen have exceeded our expectations on all fronts. We had a very short timeframe in which we planned and executed our wedding, but from the first meeting to the day of the event Kristen was great to work with and worked hard to make our vision come true - from ceremony arch decor to reception decor, everything was handled with care and as if they were doing it for family! We've toured multiple Columbus area venues and CWC is the only place where we felt the warmth and care we were looking for, and the only place that didn't nickel and dime you for every small detail or accommodation. They were happy to accomodate our smaller 50 guest count while several other venues had a premium for that number of guests. We are very happy with how everything went, the wedding was beautiful and our guests still comment about how nice and truly relaxing the evening was for them - from convenient parking to beautiful surroundings to delicious food! We will always be thankful to CWC for helping us with our wedding!

My wife and I held our wedding on May 21st at the Clintonville Woman's Club (CWC) and couldn’t be happier with the outcome! We had a wedding of approximately 100 guests and our first impression about the venue was that it was very intimate and we really liked the close proximity to the Park of Roses, where we originally planned to do photography for the big day. As soon as we met Kristen S. to take a tour last year, we knew we wanted to have our ceremony and reception at this venue. Alicia was another member of CWC staff who was very accommodating and professional.
We mainly worked with Kristen and she was very down to earth and we really hit it off with her right away. She was very informative and helpful and was always available for our needs or questions/concerns and maintained an open door policy with us. She was very knowledgeable and made recommendations, but let us decide what was best for us. For example, Kristen suggested we do "first look" photos because it would ease our nerves ahead of the ceremony. She explained that if we do photography first, we could see each other privately and share that emotion together and it would also get the bulk of photos done ahead of time and guests wouldn't have to wait around for too long and drag out the cocktail hour. That made perfect sense to us and it was such a good idea! It really did make things feel so much more structured and took anxiety away.
The venue was very affordable, especially for all the additional items that were included, such as the dinner service and wedding cake. The CWC has a beautiful garden area for the ceremony as well and we actually ended up getting rain on our wedding day, so we moved indoor and did not use the Park of Roses for the photos. Instead we used the garden area when we got a chance as the rained slowed. The pictures still turned out beautiful. We would have loved to be able to do the ceremony in the garden, but the CWC already had a contingency plan for the rain and and it went so smooth. Many of our guests said they would not have even guessed that we planned to be outside for the ceremony. The hors d'oeuvres, dinner and wedding cake were all delicious. We got many compliments for the Chef and their staff.
We also loved that the CWC had many vendor connections to make the process so easy. We used many of their recommendations and were so happy with everyone we used. Most notably, DJ services by Jubilee Entertainment, which is owned by Mark Loy and bartending services by Randi and Keith. We also used "The Flowerman" for bouquets and the other floral arrangements. Mark and his Disc Jockey, Jeff were so helpful in keeping us informed about schedule and gave us the sense of what was going to be next on the agenda we made together. Jeff really put all the wedding party at ease during the formalities and essentially was the coordinator and Randi and Keith did wonderful in terms of bartending. Alcohol at CWC is not included, so Randi and Keith were very helpful in getting all the Alcohol we bought set up for serving our guests. Randi also came up to our head table at one point during the dinner because she had noticed that we hadn't been to the bar for a beverage and it left a really sweet impression with me that she gave us that personal touch.
We found this Venue through "the Knot" and this experience was a 5/5 stars for us! CWC gave us the wedding that we really had fantasized about. They were perfect for us from top to bottom!

We held my Dad’s 100th birthday celebration here, and it was wonderfully handled. While planning, the banquet manager was very helpful, suggesting many options and solutions.
The outdoor patio and chairs set up on the lawn and in the gazebo allowed us to safely hold a mask-free social outside. Throughout our event, staff were very willing to assist with setup and wherever needed.
Several guests commented on what a great venue and event this was.

I highly recommend the woman's club as a wedding venue! Kristen, Director of Sales and Catering, basically acts as a wedding planner, and took us through the planning of details step by step. On the day off, the staff was on it and took care of everything. The food came out on time and our guests loved it. Tons of parking. Outdoor ceremony space is lovely! Cake is included in venue rental. Most reasonable price in Columbus. Book your wedding here!!!

Kristen and her staff made our wedding just about as easy as could be and perfect! They do everything for you and keep costs at a minimum. Kristen literally made it all so easy.
The food, decorations, cake and service were great. The cake not only looked amazing (Kristen used some flowers I had on it) but was probably the best I have ever tasted (you must try the Kahlua Fudge). All our guests said everything was amazing.
If you are looking for a smaller venue that is very nice while being budget conscience, you have to give Clintonville Woman's Club a shot!

They were helpful in the year leading up to the ceremony, and the staff was very kind and attentive during the day. We went with the bartenders and DJ that CWC recommended, and everything went so smoothly. We will cherish our wedding day forever, and CWC helped to make that possible!

The Clintonville Woman's club is true GEM and is a wonderful venue. It is buried treasure of Clintonville. It is much more affordable than other venues in Columbus; however the service is Top Notch!!! We were married under a beautiful canopy of trees with a gorgeous background and then the reception was inside in an already tastefully decorated space. The best part was that the staff was on top of every detail. I was able to completely relax and enjoy my day to the fullest. We dropped off everything for the venue 2 days before and some things a few hours before the ceremony! The staff took care of everything. All we had to do was show up and get married!! They are a well oiled machine and true professionals. Their goal is to make sure each guest is well taken care of and that the Bride and Groom are able to truly enjoy their special day. Thank you CWC!!

We had our wedding and reception here and everything was perfect !
Kristen was great right from the start all the way through to the end. She had great ideas, tons of options for the ceremony and reception, they put on an open house to see table decorations and sample food and pick out cake flavors, they took care of everything. I thought I was going to have to come in set up things such as place-cards and the card table but no they did it ALL. I actually had time on my hands before the wedding ! It was amazing how much they too care of. Definitely stress-free, I can't recommend them enough !

My (now) husband and I were so happy we had our wedding here! We got so many compliments from our friends and family that it was almost overwhelming. Kristen made planning this whole thing easy from start to finish. Communication was timely, for the most part, and she made sure to answer any and all questions we had. I couldn't thank her enough. The decorations were thoughtfully placed for the ceremony and the reception. Having an outdoor ceremony ended up being everything I hoped it would be. The lanterns were a nice touch on the gazebo! The food and the cake also were met with rave reviews. The cake was so soft and fluffy, just about perfect. Everything was, and there's plenty of parking. You think the wedding of your dreams would cost tens of thousands of dollars, but the venue (which has cake/catering/decor/tableware/basic linens included) cost of just around $4K (including tax and gratuity) to have the ceremony and reception there and provide for all 65 guests in attendance. I recommend the Clintonville Woman's Club to any bride here in Columbus. You don't need to take out a ridiculous personal loan to have the wedding of your dreams.

BEST WEDDING VENUE I could have imagined. Kristen, Nick, Debbie & staff were all incredible from day 1 and especially the day of. They are exceptionally professional and good at what they do. The food was amazing (appetizers, meals & cake) - guests were texting me the next day just to say how good it was. The decor came together flawlessly (they set everything up and even tore it down afterwards and placed in boxes for us to pick up the next day). It rained, so our ceremony had to get moved indoors last minute, and it ended up being beautiful and perfect. The space looked amazing. All night long people were telling us this was the best wedding they've been to. I cannot say enough good things about the CWC - they are absolute pros. If you have any doubts, just meet with Kristen and you'll know you made the right choice.

It was a rainy mess that day, but you can't tell from our amazing pictures. Moving the ceremony inside was effortless and reassuring considering the weather. Your dinner got many compliments especially the stuffed chicken with herbs I have recommended your venue to may people, and best of luck for many wonderful weddings to come!

We cannot begin to even say enough wonderful things! This was the first, and only venue, that we toured. Kristen was absolutely amazing to work with. We had such a stress-free time planning our wedding with her help. We had our ceremony and reception at the club. Everything was so well run. The food was delicious. Our cream cheese stuffed chicken breast was the talk of the wedding. The prime rib was so tender, we didn’t even need knives. The staff was extremely accommodating. They worked with us and were all so gracious. The decorations were exactly what we wanted. It was just gorgeous! Our wedding day was a dream come true for us! I would recommend anyone to have their events at the Woman’s Club.

Clintonville Woman's Club was absolutely incredible. We live in South Carolina and planning a wedding long distance was crazy! Kristen made sure our day was perfect. Everything we needed was included in one price which fit our budget. We didn't have to talk to several different vendors or coordinate anything. Kristen did it all! We had an amazing day (even though the rain drove us inside) and if we could do it all over again we would choose Clintonville Woman's Club. Maybe a first anniversary party in 2019!

My husband and I had the best experience with Kristen, the coordinator, at The Clintonville Woman's Club. She is very detail oriented and really helped us with the entire planning and executing process. The venue itself was fantastic. We got married in the garden (or started to at least, it rained so we moved it inside) and our reception was inside. Their staff were helpful and service was great. Not to mention the food was also fantastic. It was truly an incredible day and we're beyond happy that we chose the Woman's Club.

We had an incredible experience with the CWC! From the beginning of the planning process, Kristen was our rock and problem guru and really went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Whenever we were concerned about something, she had an immediate solution and was calm and good humored throughout the process. We held our ceremony outside and when there was a 90% chance of rain on our wedding day, Kristen had a plan! Luckily we didn't need it, but we felt so taken care of and had no worries the day of. The entire CWC staff was top notch and so kind to our guests. The food was delicious and my husband's favorite part was that they offered him all of the main dishes on his plate after an off handed comment at one of the planning meetings :). I felt very lucky to have Kristen and the entire CWC staff there for us on our wedding day and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking to book their wedding.

The Clintonville Woman’s Club is absolutely amazing. Our wedding was perfect, thanks to the help of Kristen and the staff at the CWC. Kristen is so knowledgeable, helpful, and she made everything so easy and stress free. The food was amazing and the staff was incredible. Debi was so attentive to everyone’s needs. The venue is beautiful and can be customized to your wedding theme. Everything was extremely affordable! If you are looking for a beautiful, stress free, easy, and affordable venue- the CWC is it! I also can’t say enough how wonderful Kristen is to work with- she really made our wedding perfect.

Kristen and the staff at the Woman's Club did an amazing job with our wedding. The food especially was outstanding, some of the best entrees I've ever tasted at a wedding. Very easy to work with, super professional, and a quite reasonable price. We had our wedding at the Park of Roses, reception at CWC. Kristen said it would be no problem to move our service to CWC as a rain location, which eased our minds greatly (though we didn't end up having to do that). I highly recommend the CWC for anyone's wedding!

I just can’t say how grateful we are that we had our wedding at the Woman’s Club. Kristen. Is. Amazing. The food was great, the venue was great, we loved the cake, the planning was stress-free - everything was great.
Also - it was incredibly affordable! So many other places want to charge for this and for that whereas the Clintonville Woman’s Club is straightforward and reasonably priced.
Working with Kristen was outstanding throughout the entire experience. Thank you for everything.

We absolutely loved our experience with The Clintonville Women's Club! Kristen and the staff were so helpful and accommodating throughout the planning process, and the day of the event. They reduced our stress levels, and provided a beautiful setting for the outdoor service and reception. So many amenities where included in the package of services, which made the venue very affordable. We highly recommend this venue for any type of event!

my daughter wanted a formal affair, i wanted no such thing. we compromised with a ceremony in our back-yard, followed by an evening reception at CWC, a mile away. What a fabulous decision. Kristen was amazing to work with -- calm, collected, organized, on top of all the details -- the venue itself was perfect, the wait staff was right on top of it, the food was delectable, and yes, even the wedding case was moist and tasty. I wish i could come up with one negative comment, but the evening was really flawless. could not have pulled it off without CWC and Kristen S. to walk us through the event!!! thank you.

We were married in July with a noon reception at CWC. We couldn't have been happier with the help we received from Kristen and all the staff. We attended the January tasting which helped us plan our food choices. Kristen met with us a few times before the wedding. She was very helpful. We appreciated her practical advice and genuine support. On the day of our reception our DJ, Mark Loy from Jubilee and the team from CWC worked together to create a seamless event. Several friends and family commented on what a nice venue we had and how friendly and helpful they found the team. We would recommend CWC for any family event.

Our wedding at Clintonville Woman's Club was perfect! Kristen was extremely helpful and always answered our questions promptly. She's basically like a built in wedding planner...it's a package deal! ;). The venue itself is beautiful too, we had an outdoor ceremony under their gazebo which is well shaded and provides a nice vegetated backdrop for pictures. Everything went very smoothly on the day of thanks to the help of all the other staff as well. The food was good and came out at the scheduled time. The venue also provided coffee, lemonade, and water. A lot of decorations we used were from the venue, so we didn't have to worry about purchasing glassware or centerpieces. I highly recommend this venue!

The Clintonville Womans Club was the perfect place to host our wedding! Kristen was incredible! She answered every question I had quickly and simply. I had some crazy hair-brained schemes and she was able to help me figure out how to make all my dreams come true. The Ceremony space is beautiful, but be aware you'lll need to provide your own speaker system. The food was delicious and so reasonably priced! In fact, everything was reasonably priced! knew going into signing our contract EXACTLY what we would be charged for, and how much it would be. There weren't a bunch of hidden fees.
Our staff for the evening of the wedding were AMAZING, especially Debbi, who treated my groom and me like royalty. She made sure we had what we needed before we even realized we needed it.
The set up was absolutely painless, and teardown a breeze.
I can't say enough nice things about our experience with CWC, If only I could marry Scott a second time, I would hire CWC every time.

The Clintonville Woman's Club was the perfect place to hold our wedding for 120 guests! The ceremony site next to the reception hall was simple and elegant. They have a variety of wedding packages that are so affordable. The CWC did a wonderful job with the decorations, appetizers, and meals. The staff is kind and flexible in making sure the wedding night is just as you pictured it. We highly recommend this venue!

We had a fantastic experience working with Kristen and the Women's Club. It is a gorgeous venue with tasty food and a great start, all for a reasonable price. We had our ceremony outdoors at the on-site gazebo, and it made for a beautiful walk down the aisle. We used centerpieces that the CWC owns, can which was cost saving and still made for a beautiful evening. The place was the perfect size for our 130 person group. We were able to bring in our own alcohol, which was very helpful from a cost perspective. The CWC even has a contract with a local baker for the cake (which was delicious), and it was so streamlined and easy to work with them on everything. I would highly recommend this venue for a wedding.

We loved this reception place! Kristen was wonderful and helped us feel totally at ease. The staff were all really helpful. Everyone had a great time and we paid half of what our friends have paid for their weddings at other places. Its a small venue, so it feels very cozy and intimate. Food was great, cake was great. The staff set everything up and cleaned everything. Their alcohol policy saved us a ton of money. I would recommend this place to anyone!

The Women’s Club is an excellent place to hold a wedding reception or bridal shower. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The venue is centrally located in Columbus in the beautiful area of Clintonville. It is affordable and Kristen and staff are very flexible. If you have your wedding here you will keep coming back for more events! Holiday parties, baby showers and more ....

My daughter was married here in March, 2017.
The staff was easy to work with and did everything to make it all turn out right! Kristen was great at keeping us informed, and promptly and pleasantly responded to all our inquiries and comments.
The venue was the perfect size for our 180 guests. It was intimate and romantic and beautiful.
The food was delicious.
We received oodles of compliments about the food, venue and overall ambience.
The CWC was a wonderful choice !!

The CWC is fabulous and such a reasonable price ! My daughter's wedding was held there Oct 8, 2016. Everything was perfect - the decor, the food, the cake, etc. Kristen was amazing to work with - so patient with our many questions and emails, she had some wonderful ideas for us as well. I have never been so impressed since they do NOT nickel and dime (example - no extra charge to set up a candy bar and use their glassware or use their table decor). In fact, once booked with them, I felt that Kristen went out of her way to be helpful as if she was saying "what can I do to make your day special". And special it was. My daughter noticed that they had even added a few extra decor items to the candy bar and such that they must have had and matched what my daughter had purchased to use. At the open house for those who have reserved the venue we were able to link up with other vendors that were marvelous as well.

Truly a hidden gem!! We got married on October 28, 2016 which was a Friday. The way it worked out we could not get in early to decorate but Kristen assured me they would set up and take care of it. I was a little OCD about it because I had a vision and we did a black and white Halloween theme. Let me say it just turned out amazing!! I did end up paying extra to have a specific cake design which the bakery the venue uses stated it would be spot on to the picture I had submitted to them. The cake was not anything like the picture so I was a little disappointed but no one really knew other than myself and mother that it did not turn out how I wanted. That is the only complaint I would have to say. The food was excellent (definitely go with the beef for a choice) and the staff was friendly. Everyone had amazing time. I would highly recommend the venue!! I loved how everything was inclusive and they even let us come pick up our décor the next day which was all boxed up and ready to go! We completely forgot about the cake but again the venue wrapped it up for us and had it ready.

We had our ceremony and reception at the CWC and we would 100% recommend. Kristen was awesome! The decorations were beautiful. The food and included cake were both delicious. Everything just went so well and they made everything easy on us planning wise. Definitely recommend attending the vendor/planning event that they hold in January for all of the upcoming weddings! This is the best place in Columbus to have your wedding! :)

I loved the woman's club! it had an intimate and cozy atmosphere that I found incredibly appealing and relaxing. what ultimately led me to book with the venue was the fact that a contract with them took care of a large portion of coordination for the wedding they took care of catering & wait staff, cake, linen rentals, decor, setup & teardown. Kristen, the event coordinator, was so easy to work with. She had great knowledge and was able to give advice as to what would look or work best in areas that my fiance and I were unsure of. I felt incredibly comfortable the day of that the wedding and reception would run smoothly and look great!

Wow. Words cannot begin to express how great the staff and venue are at the CWC. The venue was in expensive and the cost included other items so that made things easy. The venue was perfect as we were able to have a short ceremony outside at the gazebo and come right in to begin the reception. The gazebo was decorated beautifully with lanterns. The inside was set up perfect. The size was just right for our guests of 145. We had plenty of room and it didn't feel stuffy. The staff were phenomenal. They were professional and attentive to our needs. The food was delicious. Many of my guests said to me the food was the best they have ever had at a wedding. The cake was delicious and perfectly decorated. Kristen was wonderful to work with. So helpful, flexible, and receptive to our needs. She helped us through the planning process, offered advice when we weren't sure what decision to make, and was always available when we needed something. So friendly and professional. Great communication. I felt that we were taken care of. My guests are still talking about how fun the celebration was. Everything was perfect. A HUGE thank you to the CWC for making this a day we will never forget :)

We recently had our wedding ceremony & reception here and it couldn't have been more perfect! It's absolutely beautiful inside and out, it is budget friendly and includes so much!! Kristen was so helpful to us throughout the whole planning process and was so willing to let us use whatever we wanted from the club. I never once felt "nickle and dimed" like I did with several other venues I initially looked into. The outdoor area is stunning and the reception hall is perfect!! I really can't rave enough about not only the venue but the staff as well. Also the food is amazing! We did 3 plated meal options and had a hard time choosing because we loved everything ( and my husband is a picky eater) ! I highly recommend The Clintonvilla woman's club! It's definitely one of Columbus's hidden gems!

The BEST choice if you're looking to get married outside& would like to keep your ceremony and reception at the same site! Highly affordable!! The venue itself is an absolutely beautiful place to get married! Did not even need a lot of extra decorations to dress it up however, if you are using a lot of extra decorations, the site has a variety of different items that are available for you to use. During the planning process, I heard NOTHING but GREAT things about CWC and I have nothing but great things to say either, after having the wedding of my dreams there on 9/16/16 :) Kristen Steinhausser was wonderful! She responded to every email/call and was beyond helpful in helping me plan the perfect wedding! As well as putting everything together on wedding day!

My husband, Scott, and I recently were married at the Clintonville Woman’s Club. From the moment we met with Kristen, we knew the Woman’s Club was the right venue for us. She very much put us at ease and went out of her way to make sure everything was just the way we wanted it for our special day. If you are looking for a venue that takes care of everything, look no further. The Woman’s Club provides catering, cake service and even centerpieces if you choose. Being able to bring our own alcohol was a money saving plus as well.
Our biggest concerns were to not be stressed out the day of the wedding and for everyone to have a great time! We got exactly what we wanted. On our special day, the entire staff was very attentive and made sure everything went smoothly. We cannot rave enough about the service and planning they provided, from the initial visit to tear down when it was all over. They are one of the best options for a wedding/reception or any event in the Columbus area. Call Kristen to book with them and all you have to worry about is having a good time and enjoying your day.

We had our ceremony and reception at the Clintonville Woman's Club, and I just cannot say enough great things about the whole experience. Their coordinator, Kristen, is so easy to work with and makes the planning process a breeze! I could not have done it without her! We had planned an outdoor ceremony, but had to move it inside because of the weather. It was still beautiful. The reception decorations were lovely and exactly what we wanted. The food was amazing. We had a plated meal, and I cannot even count the number of compliments we received on the food! The cake is included, and it was honestly the best wedding cake I've ever had. The staff takes care of every detail for you, so there is hardly anything to worry about on your wedding day. This venue is definitely a hidden gem, and I am so happy that I found it. I cannot imagine having my wedding any place else! It was absolutely perfect!

We had our reception here since we are from the Columbus area. The CWC presented a very cost-friendly option with high reviews so we chose to have our reception at this venue. Kristen was pretty attentive in responding to my e-mails and answering any questions I had leading up to the event. When I actually arrived at the venue the day-of, I was in my wedding gown and saw Kristen but she did not actually approach me to introduce herself so I went ahead and greeted her since we hadn't met before. Then I noticed my cake was plain white... which is not what we had discussed. And on top of that, we ran out of food for our guests. I had asked Kristen to recommend appropriate food amounts based on the number of guests and went with her recommendations. Half of our guests had not eaten when the food ran out. Luckily, the venue was very accommodating in getting us sandwiches made within 30 minutes but we were charged for that which seemed unfair considering we were given poor guidance from the venue.
Biggest Pro: Low lift for bride and groom. The venue staff do all of the setup for you and you can choose to add little decorations here and there but the venue looks great without any other additions. They even have centerpieces you can use!
Biggest Con: I booked this venue several months in advance of my wedding and didn't receive much communication from Kristen about logistics until 1-2 weeks before my event which was frustrating for me since my wedding was 1 week out from this reception. I was already with friends and family and felt like I had to keep checking my phone to make sure I was communicating with her.
Overall, a somewhat positive experience and a budget-friendly venue.
