We had an exceptional experience working with Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center. We had originally planned to use another venue, but after some logistical issues, sought out an alternative. Despite our wedding date approaching, the team at NHCC ensured us that they could help. Our coordinator, Kaitlin, was absolutely fantastic. Kaitlin helped us host a wedding that exceeded all of our expectations. I did not have to worry about a single thing. Kaitlin and the rest of the team was extremely competent, organized, and kind.
The venue itself is amazing, everything being in one place was so convenient. There is a pub on-site for a built in afterparty. The hotel rooms are fabulous and reasonably priced. There are three different wedding site options that are all lovely. We used the grand ballroom, which had the most gorgeous arched windows. We are so happy and so lucky we were able to work with NHCC and Kaitlin.
We truly cannot say enough good things about our wedding at Nationwide. We had our reception at the Edgewater space and it was perfection. From the food, the drinks, the staff, the decor, the hotel block, the getting ready suite..I could go on and on. Danielle was our coordinator and she truly went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone.
The staff did an amazing job, the venue was beautiful, food was delicious, and decorations were put together better than we imagined. We wanted to give a special shout out to Danielle Bushman who put it all together for us.
Any questions?
My husband and I chose Nationwide Hotel & Conference Center as our wedding reception venue and could not have been happier! Tiffany was incredibly professional, kind and easy to work with when we were exploring the venues their campus has to offer. Once we chose Edgewater as our venue, we began working with Danielle as our wedding coordinator for the day, and she was always incredibly responsive, kind, showed attention to detail and was sincere in wanting to make our day special. The dinner was wonderful, the venue was beautiful and accommodated our 145 guests perfectly, and all guests were thrilled to be able to stay on site at the hotel while also enjoying the pub space before and after our reception. We would highly recommend Nationwide Hotel & Conference Center to anyone!

Thank you for your kind words! You and Ty are a beautiful couple. Congratulations and thank you for choosing us to be a part of your special day!
The entire staff at NHCC went above and beyond to ensure our wedding ceremony and reception was exceptional in every way. Their professionalism, communication and service exceeded our expectations and the team made sure our that our wedding was an incredible event and day to remember. The facilities were beautiful and our overall experience was better than we imagined. Thank you to Tiffany, Danielle, Josh and Alyssa for working so hard to help create this unforgettable experience for our daughter's wedding. I highly recommend NHCC if you are considering this venue for your wedding or other special occasion.

Thank you, Gary!! Abby will forever be the most delightful bride we've ever worked with. She is a true light to the world! Congratulations to your entire family. Many wishes for continued happiness!
From our first communication with Tiffany to our site visit to our big day, nationwide was amazing! We got married in the Edgewater room and everything was top notch. Danielle and her team made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish! Our guests had nothing but amazing compliments about the service venue and food! The salmon and filet were amazing! Super responsive and attentive to all details and needs for our big day. I loved the extra care taken for our guests with special dietary requests. The ice cream bar was a hit as well! I can’t say enough wonderful things about the Nationwide Hotel and Convention Center. Plus having our bride and groom suite as a part of booking a wedding there was a bonus as well. The little surprises in our room at the end of the night were a delightful touch! They have a large hospitality suite available to book that was the perfect getting ready space for MUAs and myself/bridesmaids. The grounds are stunning and made for beautiful photos and atmosphere. I can’t wait to see photos! Seriously to all the other brides out there. You will NOT be disappointed.
Thank you thank you Tiffany, Danielle and the NHCC staff! You made our big day one we will never forget!
All the best,
Meredith and Nathan Caplan

Thank you so much, Meredith and Nathan! What a gorgeous wedding with your classy Star Wars touch. It was so much fun working with you both. Cheers to a life full of happiness!
We loved our experience with NWHCC! We loved that the hotel and reception venue were on the same campus, it was great to have people party on the campus and walk to their hotel rooms. This convenience was why we booked here. The pricing for food and beverage was also the lowest we had been quoted while looking at other venues. We used the Grand Ballroom, which fit our group of 200 nicely, but was not exactly the style we were looking for. So, we did our ceremony at another venue that fit out style better. It was fun to hit the Pub after the reception closed down. Everyone we worked with was very helpful and made our day awesome!

Thank you, Kelsey! We hope you and Bryce are enjoying married life!
Great staff, super helpful and amazing venue! We knew as soon as we visited for the first time, that NHCC was going to be THE place to host our special day.
Response from the Vendor on 03/16/2024
Thank you, Samantha! What a gorgeous wedding! And the party, DJ and lighting package was amazing! Wishing you and Brad a lifetime of happiness!
The experience at Nationwide was beyond incredible. They were very kind and understanding the entire time. We had some financial issues and Tiffany did not hesitate to work with us and was very understanding (we were never given a late fee or anything) We were given the option to choose a less expensive room after booking to help with our situation and that was such a blessing. Let me start with the venue, it is unbelievable, its secluded and every season there is just beautiful. You have so many options for ceremony and reception spaces. Both indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces. The food was literally AMAZING everyone ate good and we loved the additional French fry bar at reception. We had our own coordinator through the venue who was extremely helpful and understanding of all our wants. Danielle was amazing! We were given linens, cups, a space to store decor, a tasting, help with set up. option for adding decor, storage for the week prior to wedding, a suite for two nights, a room block for family, they were more than accommodating to my gigantic family and our needs. I had the perfect wedding. I wouldn't change a single thing it was so smooth with their venue

Your day was absolutely beautiful, Mary! A stunning bride, in a space tastefully decorated with your personal style and design. Thank you so much for choosing NHCC. We wish you and John a lifetime of happiness!
My husband and I are so glad we got married at Nationwide. Our day-of coordinator was so helpful and easy to work with. She set up all our decor and worked with all our vendors. She made our wedding day that much more seamless. Staff were very friendly. All of our guests raved about the food(try the Chicken Saltimbocca). It was incredibly convenient having our venue as part of the hotel. We got a lively after party at the on-site pub. Couldn’t ask for a better location for out of town guests.
We got married at Nationwide 11/3/23 and couldn’t have asked for a better day! Tiffany was very responsive from the start and Danielle our coordinator was amazing! Everything was perfect and the day ran so smoothly. I couldn’t recommend a better venue!
I had the most wonderful experience at NHCC. Tiffany was quick with responses, even at night! Desi was our coordinator and she was the BEST! She made my day even more amazing that I could have even imagined! Literally took the stress out out me! She handled everything! The only thing I didn’t like was that since they are so busy, you cannot set up early. This stressed me out because I didn’t know how things would look. WOW, everything looked incredible!! Every vendor I had, has also worked at NHCC and talked so highly. They work with you to ensure that you have the most perfect day!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/10/2023
Thank you, Allie. Thanks for leaving the set up to us! We love making your visions come to life. Congratulations to you and Eric!
Getting married at NHCC was the best decision we could have possibly made! We wanted an indoor wedding (we don’t trust Ohio weather enough lol) but had trouble finding venues that still had a lot of natural light. The Edgewater Room was the perfect place for us, as it’s basically just wall to wall windows! Desi, our assigned wedding planner, was absolutely incredible and made the whole day extremely easy for us. Our families couldn’t stop talking about how helpful she was and how much they liked her! We also had a lot of out of state guests so being able to have a room block and a place for our guests to stay without having to worry about driving was amazing. The getting ready space we were in was so spacious that even though there was 14 people in there at once, it didn’t feel cramped. I would definitely recommend booking one of the 2 spaces they offer! If you have enough guests that book with the hotel, you can get one of those rooms for free, on top of the complimentary room you already receive! The food was amazing as well, all our guests were talking about how it was some of the best wedding food they’ve had! I definitely recommend booking one of the vendors on their preferred vendors list. We did and it made everything go even smoother since everyone had worked in the space before. Plus, all our vendors knew each other so they worked very well together. Overall, getting married here was amazing and worth every penny!

Thank you so much, Brittany! Wishing you and Samuel a lifetime of happiness.
We celebrated our wedding in the Edgewater space on 10/14/23. We could not recommend this venue enough. The space is absolutely beautiful with floor-to-ceiling windows, a big fireplace, and wood beams. It's intimate and cozy while still being able to accommodate a large wedding. With the venue, hotel, and pub on site (perfect for an after-party or welcome party), plenty of free parking, and a short ride to the Columbus airport, we literally couldn't ask for anything better. Their wedding packages include almost everything you need (catering, bar, tables, chairs, linens, silverware, etc.), which makes the process so easy and eliminates the stress of searching for separate vendors. Packages seem fairly priced for the Columbus market, the bar list is comprehensive, and the food is amazing. It was even better at our wedding than at the tasting. Everything was cooked perfectly, hot, and delicious. Our guests commented on how good the food was! The only thing I wish this venue had was a separate indoor space for cocktail hour. They have a beautiful patio that we were suppose to utilize but due to the rain, we got moved inside the ceremony & dinner rooms which made taking family photos a bit chaotic. Tiffany and Desi were a delight to work with, both very responsive and helpful. Desi was very helpful throughout the planning process, offered advice when asked, and knew all the questions to ask to make sure we had all the bases covered (plus has a great eye for setting up decor and details) and made sure our day ran smoothly. The decor storage before and after the wedding was super helpful as well so we didn't have to worry about it the day of. The hotel was clean and had plenty of space for all our guests and the getting-ready suites were very nice and spacious with a mix of soft seating, barstools, and tables, a half bath, a closet, and a kitchenette area. The staff boxed up a few dinners and desserts along with champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries and left them in our suite on the wedding night which was much appreciated and such a cute thought! We could not recommend this venue or Desi enough!
WOW, what an amazing venue. We celebrated on wedding on 10/7/23 and it was perfect. Everything from the food, beverages and staff were excellent. We worked with Desi and would recommend her to anyone wanting to plan a wedding with Nationwide. She helped my husband and I bring our wedding vision to life and all of our guests raved about how wonderful the wedding was. Nationwide is truly the perfect place for a wedding and I would highly recommend this venue to host your celebration.
As a wedding planner, I loved working with Desi at Nationwide - her professionalism and planning/event management skills are excellent. Would refer future clients to this property if they could work with Desi. The staff was kind and efficient.
We used Nationwide for our rehearsal dinner and had an AMAZING experience. The room was gorgeous, the food was so good, and the communication with Desvari leading up to the event was so good. She was easy to talk to, helped with so much including our hotel block. Very fair price for the rehearsal dinner and worked with me to create a custom dinner menu!
Say 'YES' to this venue! My wedding date was 9/23/2023.
Everything about the venue was perfect. NHCC is an all inclusive which takes out A LOT of the stress. They provide you with a wedding planner/ day of coordinator. Who mine was DESI! I will be forever grateful for her. I think a told her many times how much I appreciated her when planning throughout the year... I was a very stressed out and an emotional bride. Desi was very warm and welcoming. She was my personal cheerleader and I loved it. She truly made it feel like you're planning with a good friend. I paid extra to have the staff decorate.. I gave Desi my Pinterest page and I had full trust she would do a beautiful job and she did! Lastly, my flower girl has Down Syndrome and she was extremely sweet and patient with her. Desi deserves wedding planner for life award! LOVE YOU DES!
The food was AMAZING. All my guests were raving about how delicious the food was. I had many people tell me they don't often go to weddings where they get stuffed full. My personal favorite was the cheese stuffed pretzels and the 5 cheese tortellini.
The rooms were very clean. If you secure your date before any other couple you have the option for a getting ready room. We went with it and it was a perfect spot. 10/10!!
Thank You again NHCC you guys gave us the wedding of our dreams.
XOXO The Korbars
We had our wedding in September in the Grand Ballroom, with the Tennessee Lawn for our ceremony. We, along with our guests, cannot stop raving about the staff, food, and property. We would choose NHCC 1000x over. Danielle was a delight to work with as our day of coordinator. Truly the hidden gem of Columbus!!!
We got married on 9/9/23 at Nationwide and had our reception in the Edgewater- to say that the services provided by Nationwide were flawless would be an understatement. Our wedding coordinator through Nationwide, Desi, went above and beyond with every single detail. She knew all of the questions (and answers!) that needed to be asked/answered before the biggest day of our lives, kept us on track, and worked tirelessly on our day to make it the best day of our lives. The edgewater was positively stunning, and our guests raved about the beauty that came with the reception room, the water-front cocktail hour, and the beautiful windows in the dance hall. If we could do it all again, we’d do it 3x over with nationwide hotel.
Response from the Vendor on 09/12/2023
Thank you so much, Madison! The touches you selected for your wedding were perfect in the Edgewater. Wishing you and Quinton a lifetime of happiness.
Everything was wonderful and beautiful for our wedding during Saturday, 8/26/2023. All of our guests loved the atmosphere and food, too. Danielle and the team were really accommodating and patient with us. I also wanted to include that there was some miscommunication with the front desk staff, however. When we checked out, they acted like they did not know where our cake was stored and were unfriendly. The front desk also gave my husband the hotel room connected to the bridal suite as well. I still highly recommend this venue because that was more on the hospitality services.
Desi and her staff were beyong amazing the entire weekend. The Northpoint Ballroom was set up beautifully, and every detail was maintained from the rehersal dinner at The Pub, to the ceremony and then on to the reception.
Her attentiveness and consideration was far beyond what we could have imagined for our daughters' wedding.
A weekend to remember! =-)
I would give a 3.5 but it isn’t an option. The venue was absolutely gorgeous and the food is amazing!! In the end though, there were a lot of minor details that were wrong for our day. Just so there is no confusion for another bride - when I viewed the venue I didn’t want a public space so I asked about the pool. They said the pool is closed for weddings. Well they meant literally only the ceremony. So you will have people right next to your dance floor screaming and jumping in the pool. I just did not realize that. Our seating chart was also off. Our VIP tables were correct but all the other tables were in different spots which put people farther back in some instances than they should have been. We were supposed to have champagne toasts for the VIP tables and they were not filled before the speeches. Our bar ran out of both Michelob ultra and vodka which I would think you would just have extra at all times with all the weddings there. Lastly, we were told we would have food and chocolate covered strawberries to our room after the event but they went to the wrong room. Like I said lots of little things but in the end our guests had a great time it seemed so I do still believe it was slightly above average experience. Just want to be honest and help with areas of improvement.
The perfect venue, especially when many of your guests are from out of town. We had my daughter’s wedding in the Virginia room, and even though there were three weddings happening on the grounds at the same time, we did not even notice. Everything ran like clockwork. Our wedding coordinator, Jo was fabulous, as well as the staff, food, and accommodations. No complaints, highly recommend!
As a small business that provides caricature entertainment at wedding receptions, we have had the opportunity to interact with many wedding coordinators. At a recent reception at NHCC we had the opportunity to see one shine! Desi Creel was warm and professional, she gave her full attention to whomever was interacting with her, and she followed through with things that she said that she would do. She's top notch!
Our wedding on 6/30/23 was everything I could have ever wanted and more, and that was due in large part because of our absolutely incredible wedding coordinator, Desi. Desi's professionalism, attention to detail, and warm/kind nature made everything come together seamlessly. Even leading up to the big day, she was incredibly response and attentive to every single part of the wedding planning process. She was always quick and helpful to answer any and all questions I had. As for the venue itself, all of our guests loved the beauty of the campus and how easy it was to transition between the different locations. I could not recommend NHCC and Desi enough!
Response from the Vendor on 07/05/2023
Thank you, Jordan! We loved being a part of yours and Aaron's big day. What a beautiful celebration. Cheers!
Our experience with NHCC is worth 6 stars! We held our daughter's wedding here on 6/17/23, and our guests are still talking about it. The ceremony was on the Tennessee Lawn, followed by the cocktail reception and dinner reception in the Grand Ballroom. Our wedding coordinator, Desi, is top class. She guided us thru two planning sessions and was attentive to every detail. From the moment we arrived for the wedding weekend, Desi greeted us with a warm smile, then went to work with organizing the people and executing our wedding plan. The food was delicious, the hotel was clean and convenient for all of our guests!
The best part for us...we could sit back, worry free, and enjoy the day with our daughter, family and friends. Thank you NHCC!
Beautiful venue, great service, and centrally located. This is a reasonably priced venue that provides everything you need to ensure you and your guests have a wonderful time and not have to drive between hotel, ceremony location and reception and the Pub for your after party. We had so many guests compliment us on the location and the quality of the rooms, service and food. We definitely made the right decision planning our wedding with NHCC.
Danielle was amazing, everything was perfect! We received many compliments on how good the food was, and how beautiful the campus was!
Our wedding on 5/26/23 was absolutely amazing. Leading up to the wedding Danielle answered all of our questions and requests. She kept us informed and up to date on how things were progressing and had great diagrams of the venue space to make sure we were all on the same page for set up. When it came time for the tasting appointment it was so hard to decide! Food was fantastic and there were so many options. And the quality did not disappoint on the wedding day! Everyone was raving about the food and no one went hungry! The beer and wine options were great and for the people who wanted something else the on-site pub was a great option for us. For the bridal party we rented the hospitality suite to get ready in and it was totally worth the extra money. It gave our hair and make up artist plenty of room to set up comfortably and had bar height chairs for us to use. It was a wonderful space for us to hang out in all day getting ready. We also paid for set up and Danielle and Ben knocked it out of the park. They absolutely understood our vision and brought it to life. Everything about our day went so smoothly and we wouldn’t change a thing!
November Wedding
Getting to have our wedding at nationwide hotel and conference center was honestly a dream! The location is beautiful, the amenities are wonderful, and the staff really helps to generate a flawless experience! My husband and I just got married there in November and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day ❤️ getting to work with Desi made the experience that much more enjoyable. She was attentive to detail, there for not only us but our family/guests every step of the way, and just all around a wonderful person to work with! Our special day would not have been the same without her! Thank you for helping make our dream day come true!
We were impressed with NHCC and booked our wedding for the North Pointe Ballroom. We had worked with one planner and that person left the company. We were transitioned to Desi as our planner and we were nervous about a new planner. Desi went out of her way to assure us that everything would be great, scheduled calls, and met with us. On our wedding day, Desi was beyond incredible and did so much more than we could have ever imagined! From set up, to talking to vendors, to keeping the wedding party organized, she did so much work. As the groom we probably spoke every 20 minutes that day making sure everything was perfect. We had a few hiccups with guest not coming or coming without Rsvping which complicated our plated meals and assigned seating. Desi told me about it and we got it taken care of right away and the party didn't miss a beat! Without Desi, our wedding would not have been the dream that it was!
All of the rest of the staff at NHCC was great as well. From Brittany helping us in the beginning and during our planner transition, hotel staff, bartenders, set up, everyone was great. The property was beautiful, for our fall wedding and a summer wedding that we attended. The food was great. Bar on site to go to after the wedding. Nice rooms for you and guests to stay in. We could not recommend this place enough. And make sure you ask for Desi!! She was so thorough, so detail oriented, so focused on making our day perfect. And she did, and we will be forever grateful for that!
Our 11/5/22 wedding was a joining of family and friends from all over the country so NHCC was the best decision we made! The rooms were prefect for our out of town guests, and the campus was so easy to navigate for our local guests. We continue to hear how wonderful the venue was, how amazing the food tasted (the butternut squash ravioli and beef short ribs are mouth watering!), and how fabulous the entire staff was throughout the weekend. I work in the event industry and am so thankful for the spectacular service that NHCC provided. Brittany was our coordinator and set my mind at ease from start to finish - seriously the best human and event professional. I could go on and on about how great the NHCC was, but do me a favor and just go meet with them if you are looking for a venue - you won't be disappointed!
NCHH was the best decision we made for our wedding! Brittany was our coordinator for our 10/22/22 wedding and she was phenomenal. Everyone went above and beyond to make our day the best it could be. They took care of our decor (setting up and tearing down) and any issues we had during the day. The room was beyond gorgeous when we walked in just us two.
Brittany was so attentive prior to our wedding. She answered all of my questions and was there for anything!
Our guests raved about the venue with the hotel and pub on site and the food. They continue to talk about how much fun they had and how much they loved the venue. Multiple people said they went to a bunch of weddings this year and this was the best planned and most fun one they went to this year!
Thank you NHCC for bringing our dream wedding to life!
NHCC is the absolute perfect venue! The staff, the food, the location, the onsite hotel and everything else! There isn't a better, more all inclusive venue in Columbus.
Our wedding was absolutely flawless! The hotel & venue accommodations were impeccable! Everyone was super friendly & the coordinators have it down to a science! Brittany was always very professional but personable at the same time. She's a doll! I had nothing to do or worry about! She handled everything from rehearsal through reception! She answered any question & addressed any concern I had immediately down to the seating arrangement. Tiffany in Contracts was absolutely wonderful! She answered any question I had immediately. The grounds across the entire campus are absolutely beautiful...soo many perfect picture spots. The food...let's just say by the end of the weekend, everyone was a few pounds heavier!
We will book again just as a weekend get-a-way! I highly recommend Nationwide Hotel & Conference Center! Top Notch!!
My husband and I had our wedding at NHCC and Julie was our coordinator. Let me just start by saying Julie was the most amazing coordinator I could have ever hoped for! She did everything and was the exact person I needed to help keep me calm. She also took care of everything and made sure no stress made it’s way to me! Okay next is the FOOD! We STILL (2 months after our wedding) have people telling us that they are still dreaming about how good our food was at the wedding! Everything from our appetizers to the main course was delicious. I highly highly recommend that you book your venue at nationwide because it truely has everything! Excellent staff, beautiful ceremony and reception space and the hotel space where we stayed was beautiful and so clean! We booked the Green Meadows room for the bridesmaids getting ready space and it was perfect. Our pictures for the space turned out amazing because everything is just so beautiful. Book your wedding here because you will not be disappointed!!!
The Nationwide Hotel & Conference Center was an absolutely AMAZING venue for our wedding! The entire staff was so helpful, friendly, professional, and efficient, and our guests gave us tons of feedback on how beautiful this space was. The rooms were gorgeous and the food was great! We have to give a special shoutout to the Event Planning Manager, Julie Wagner - this entire wedding would not have been what it was without her. She was so helpful in making sure the entire event ran smoothly, she gave us lots of helpful advice, and she had a huge part in the coordination of all vendors, decor set up, and all of the timelines leading up to the wedding and the day of. She is also so personable and funny - she helped both parties with anything they needed in a timely manner and helped us enjoy this special day! We highly recommend Julie & NHCC!
My husband and I got married at NHCC in the Edgewater room last Friday. There was a great deal of planning involved over the last year but the wedding planner, Julie, from the venue was super helpful for getting things figured out. Our stay at the hotel for the two nights was quite comfortable. We got lucky with good weather and the ceremony and reception both went perfectly. Numerous family and friends complimented the dinner food from NHCC as well. All of the other vendors we worked with were really familiar with the Edgewater venue and had nothing but praise for the venue so we realized we made a smart decision by going with them. No complaints to speak of.
We held our ceremony and reception in the Edgewater room and it was honestly the best decision I have ever made. From day one, they have made me feel comfortable, welcomed, and have truly made planning a wedding so easy and fun. Our wedding coordinator, Brittany, was absolutely phenomenal. She was always there to answer questions and make beautiful recommendations. As a bride, you worry about every little detail and every little thing that could go wrong on your wedding day and I can truly say with confidence that I got to enjoy my wedding day because I knew NHCC had taken care of everything. As for the food - absolutely delicious, simply incredible. We still have guests, including my husband and me, talking about how amazing the food was. Everything was truly wonderful and I could not be more grateful for NHCC.
Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center went above and beyond our expectations. It is truly a hidden gem in Columbus, Ohio. What drew us to the venue, and specifically the Edgewater room, was how relaxed, yet elegant the space was. The room is surrounded with windows and an abundance of natural light. We looked at many venues in Columbus, but the cost, quality of food/drink, and quality of the venue space/hotel, is incomparable to the other venues. The customer service provided by all of the staff members was incredible. The staff and event team is highly organized and they did a fabulous job communicating with us and bringing our reception vision to life. They were extremely accommodating and did everything in their power to make even the smallest details a priority. I cannot recommend Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center enough!
Response from the Vendor on 07/13/2022
Jackie! Thank you so much. Many years of happy memories ahead. Congratulations!
We had our wedding reception at NHCC in the North Pointe Ballroom. It was absolutely beautiful, and Emma, our coordinator, made sure that everything ran extremely smoothly. We did not have to worry about a thing on our big day! The whole staff was extremely kind and helpful, and they even helped sew my dress when we discovered it hadn’t been properly hemmed before the reception. They go above and beyond at NHCC, and we couldn’t recommend them more!

Thank you so much, Abby! It was a pleasure working with you and Adam. How fun that you remember the hemming :-) ... Many years of happiness to you both! Congratulations!
We had a wonderful wedding reception at the grand ballroom! Emma was incredible and extremely helpful in the planning process. She knows what she is doing and is for sure an expert at events! She sat down with us for over two hours to go over every detail of the wedding weekend and answered every question no matter the time of year or time in the day. The food tasting was also incredible and a wonderful way to bring both our parents together and get excited about the day. Highly recommend this venue to anyone!! The only negative feedback we got from our guests was when the pub closed at midnight the worker was rude to them when asking them to leave, and a recommendation is to request guest rooms next to each other. Other than those two things the day was perfect!
Our experience at NHCC for our wedding was outstanding! They really know how to take care of their guests! All of the staff was helpful, kind and professional. We had our wedding outdoors on the Tennessee Lawn and and indoor reception in the Great ballroom. Even though it rained a bit on our big day there was always a backup plan and a plan to the backup plan which was a huge stress relief. The food is phenomenal!! Our guest kept talking about their meals. Emma, Our wedding coordinator at nationwide was the most helpful and kind person! She had answers to everything I asked and knew how to support me when I needed it!! I couldn’t have chosen a better venue for our big day and I would suggest to anyone to pay for the experience it was to have your wedding at nationwide hotel and conference center

Thank you so much, Kathleen! You and Xavier were so much fun. Cheers to many years of happiness!
I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend
Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center for anyone looking to hold an event. I was looking to plan a wedding.
From my first contact with NHCC, I was completely at ease.
Tiffany B. was professional and showed an attention to detail that I hadn’t even begun to contemplate!
Tiffany B. and the event staff at NHCC – Brittany M., Kristen B. Emma K. – thought of every detail so I didn’t have to – and I didn’t! From menu, to linens, to lighting, to timeline, they handled everything, and I mean EVERYTHING so all I had to do was show up, say “I do!” and enjoy myself!! The entire staff at NHCC made me and my guests feel like we were the most important people there and any request we put to them, they handled immediately and graciously! You might price your event at NHCC and think that you can ‘do better’ somewhere else. But I encourage you to consider your time and your peace of mind when determining what fits into your budget. The day before my wedding, I had lunch with my family and dinner with all my out-of-town guests. The day of my wedding I had breakfast with friends and family, went to church, had lunch with my guests and enjoyed a leisurely ‘getting ready’ with my bridal party. I didn’t have to run around, pick anything up, answer any questions, see to any details. My time was much better spent enjoying myself and leaving the event handling to the professionals!
Basic details: the hotel rooms are comfortable, clean. The food is wonderful! The venue is lovely – we celebrated in the Edgewater. The staff is responsive and warm.
I don’t plan to get married again, but if I did, I’d call Tiffany and the team at Nationwide in a heartbeat!

Thank you, Dani! You and Joe are the best! It was truly a pleasure to make your day special.
The staff at Nationwide went so far above and beyond what I ever would have imagined, and made our dream wedding turn out so perfectly. Julie was incredible, constantly answering every single question I threw at her, as well as all of her amazing touches to our wedding weekend that made the day flow so smoothly and let us sit back and enjoy everything. The venue was perfect, so beautiful and clean, and our guests had nothing but great things to say about how nice the weekend was, how AMAZING the food tasted, and how much they all loved Julie. We can't thank Julie and her team enough!
I cannot say enough good things about this venue! The space was beautiful, the food was fantastic, and every member of the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. We had a pretty unusual wedding (no meat and no alcohol, to start!), but they were flexible and made it all work. Our on-site coordinator Julie did an incredible job wrangling all the knitty-gritted details--one guest described the event as "butter smooth"!
Would 110% recommend to any couple!
We had a great experience with NHCC and their team. We loved the idea of having everything in one centralized location and NHCC offered that and more. We worked with Brittany and she helped guide us through the planning process and was even present for our rehearsal and wedding reception to ensure everything went smoothly. She was incredibly accommodating and made our experience less stressful.
I could not think of a more perfect place to recommend. The Edgewater Room was gorgeous. It was everything we wanted and so much more. Staff were super helpful and made the entire process ridiculously easy. We worked with Julie and she was extremely knowledgeable. She took the stress out of the process. I highly recommend Julie and NHCC
This venue was absolutely amazing. The staff are all amazing and so friendly. The venue itself is beautiful and the food is amazing! Everyone that attended our wedding had nothing but good things to say. I would have my wedding here over and over!
This venue has everything we dreamed of having: outdoor ceremony space, cocktail hour over a terrace, and a modernly designed reception space. Plus, your guests can stay at the hotel afterwards. It was nice to have everything in one place. From day one, our coordinators kept everything organized and easy to follow. They were reliable, which is something refreshing to have when you are juggling so many things at once. They also shared a list of preferred vendors to work with. We went with most of them and were very satisfied! It rained during our ceremony and Julie flipped us inside in lightning speed! The filets were amazing and overall my guests had a wonderful time.
Response from the Vendor on 06/01/2022
Thank you, Katie! We're so glad you enjoyed your day!
We had our wedding and reception at The Edgewater. From the moment we booked the date until the day after the wedding, everything was top notch. We had the most amazing planning in Julie Wagner, and along with the staff there, our day was simply magical. My husband and I have been saying it was the best day of our lives. Part of this is due to the stellar planning and execution of Julie and team. So many things could have gone wrong with all of the details we had, and the changes, but everything was flawless. We seriously could not have been happier with the whole experience!
Response from the Vendor on 05/25/2022
Thank you, Matt! Your happiness is contagious. Working with the two of you was our pleasure. Always the best to you both!
This venue is gorgeous, but their team will make your wedding seamless. Our wedding coordinator was Brittany, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish. Every time i called with questions or concerns they were answered promptly and they worked with us every step of the way. Brittany made the rehearsal seamless and go so smoothly without a hickup. And she printed our vows since we forgot to do that, even in that, she put 100% and made them on cardstock and everything.
On my wedding day i had my guests come to me to tell me how amazing Brittany was at coordinating and making sure everything was covered. I didnt need to worry about anything. AND at the end of the night, they sent all of our stuff boxed up in our get ready room from the venue. This is trully an amazing venue and their coordinators are fantastic.
Response from the Vendor on 04/21/2022
Thank you so much for your kind words, Tanya! You were fabulous to work with and we loved hosting your event! Huge Congratulations to you and Manny!
In our quest to find the venue that best exemplified us, met our budget, and gave us the most bang-for-our-buck the Nationwide Hotel & Conference Center was unmatched. From having three venues to choose from, great on-site food, the on-site pub and much more we feel as though we received the best of everything. Brittany was our wedding coordinator who from the intial planning, to the day of, gave us confidence that our day would be perfect. She had great recommendations and kept our wedding timeline moving smoothly. Finally, the on-site accommodations were excellent for all of our guests!
Amazing. That’s the best word to describe our experience. Our coordinator, Emma, was phenomenal and so helpful. The food was amazing. We are still receiving compliments about how beautiful the venue is and how great the food was. They made the experience as stress-free as possible. A lot of our guests and family are from out of the area, so having everything in one spot was great. You get the convenience of being attached to a hotel without it feeling like you’re in a hotel. I would recommend NHCC to anyone getting married in the Columbus area!
Response from the Vendor on 02/25/2022
Brittnee! Thank you so much for your kind words. We loved making the day special for you and memorable for your guests. Enjoy being newlyweds!
My husband and I toured several venues, but this one stood out from the rest for several reasons and having our ENTIRE wedding weekend here was the best decision we ever made! From the start, Jamie was extremely helpful and attentive in answering all of our questions throughout the booking process, and even gave us a tour more than once when we wanted to show our families who were in town. Brittany was our day of coordinator, and she is literally the BEST! We had zero issues the entire weekend and I was as relaxed as I could be knowing that everything was in her extremely capable hands. She is also the sweetest human and truly felt like a friend. We had both our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner there (which were both so wonderful, we can't recommend having a cozy and intimate rehearsal dinner in the Northpointe Study enough!!) and then our ceremony and reception were in the Edgewater Room (also SO cozy and beautiful!). It was so, so, so amazing to arrive on Friday afternoon for rehearsal and be in one place the entire weekend, and our guests also really appreciated being able to walk to their room rather than having to find a safe ride home or to a hotel. The staff the entire weekend was just incredible, they truly thought of everything and were so sweet! The rooms are beautiful and so nice, the food is outstanding, and the location is perfect for out of town guests. We got so many compliments from guests about how lovely the weekend was, mostly about the hotel, staff, and food. You will never regret booking Nationwide for your wedding!

Loren! Thank you so much for your kind words. We loved making your day and weekend not only special, but truly memorable. You were an amazing bride!
Congratulations and may your marriage be blessed.
Nationwide was a fantastic place to get married! Our wedding coordinator, Brittany made everything possible from the planning leading up to the wedding, to the execution of our plans on the day, and even on the day after, making sure we were happy and gathered all our decor items. The food at NHCC was fantastic and the accommodations for guests were spacious and nice. I would definitely recommend this wedding venue/Edgewater Room to all!
Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center was the absolute BEST venue to have our wedding. We could not have asked for anything more. Having the hotel right on site made it so easy for our out of town guests to stay in. The Pub onsite was so much fun for our after party! We had our ceremony and reception in the Grand Ballroom which was so romantic and elegant and just perfect. We had around 155 guests and the room was the perfect size. The food was excellent and we had so many compliments from our guests! Kristen was our event coordinator and she was incredible! I didn't worry about a thing the day of because she had it covered! Communication with her was excellent leading up to the wedding, any questions I had she answered. I can't say enough good things about this venue and staff! Highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 12/02/2021
Kaitlyn! Hosting your event was our pleasure. Our goal is to make the days leading up to your wedding seamless and your BIG day perfect. Thank you for taking the time to review your experience!
Our wedding at NHCC was amazing! We had so many guests approach us before, during and after the wedding telling us how great a venue it was. We were looking for a venue where we could have our ceremony, reception, after party, and hotel all in one place so we didn't have to worry about transportation for all of our guests. The outdoor wedding on the Tennessee Lawn gave a great outdoor touch and the Grand Ballroom was perfect for a wedding our size (240ish). Not only was the venue great, but our wedding coordinator, Brittany, was amazing as well. She was very organized and helped us plan everything out so that everything was smooth sailing the weekend of. She not only helped answer any questions we had but also give ideas and answer questions we didn't even know we had! We highly recommend NHCC if you are looking for a great all in one option that your guests will really appreciate!

Mikala! We are so happy for you and Ben. Endless congratulations and thank you so much for your kind words!
Amazing! The coordinators and staff were amazing and helped have an incredible day. The room is gorgeous and can be decorated to match your style. Would 100% recommend to anyone getting married!
Response from the Vendor on 11/02/2021
Thank you so much, Darby! Congratulations to you and Bryan. We loved having you here and wish you all the best!
Our wedding was better than we could have ever dreamed. With two postponements and lots of changes, they worked with us and made the entire process so much easier. Brittany, our coordinator went above and beyond through the entire planning process and truly made our wedding the amazing event that it was. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out!!
We are so happy that we chose to have our wedding at NCH Edgewater Venue. The planning process was very easy and we could not have imagined a better wedding day! Both Brittany and Kristen were approachable and responsive to every request and question. They worked seamlessly with each of our vendors and the day was perfect!
I cannot say enough good things about the Nationwide team and the Nationwide venue. Everything felt seamless for us. Julie was extremely fun and easy to work with and we are so so happy she was there to handle everything. All the logistics happened behind the scenes and Lucas and I got to completely focus on having a good time.
The Edgewater venue itself is really beautiful and easy to use for weddings. We were able to have our ceremony outside and it was a very easy transition for guests to go from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing since everything is on-site.
I thought the contract pricing was very transparent and the initial guess of the total cost was within a few hundred dollars of our actual final amount. The venue was also great about rescheduling to 2021 due to COVID-19.
The cherry on top was coming back to our suite after the reception and finding champagne, desserts, and leftover meals from dinner waiting for us in the fridge!
We are so so happy we chose Edgewater for our wedding and would absolutely recommend it to other couples!

Congratulations Kaeli & Lucas! We absolutely loved working with you both and thank you so much for the kind words! We have shared your review with our team & appreciate you taking the time to write it.
We had a great experience booking our hotel block with nationwide. Emma helped us so much and made the whole process very easy. We were eligible for a complimentary shuttle to and from our venue which was very nice for our guests. The only thing I would say about that is that the front desk did not have information about the shuttle for our guests because it was a third party company. That would be the only improvement I can think of, otherwise perfect experience!
Response from the Vendor on 10/04/2021
Hi Madelyn! We are so thrilled you and your guests had a wonderful stay with us at our hotel. We enjoyed working with you on your wedding hotel block. We are deeply sorry for the confusion at the front desk with the shuttle service schedule....
We take this feedback seriously and will be relaying this information with our front desk team. Due to this experience, I am going to send you a gift certificate for a complimentary (1) night anniversary stay on us. I will email you directly on this. Congratulations on your wedding!
Nationwide Hotel was a beautiful venue and the staff did not disappoint. My husband and I chose this venue for the convenience of having the hotel and venue in one spot without the reception hall feeling “too hotel-y”. Our reception was in the edge water room and our ceremony was outside. We had a beautiful day, coordinated by Julie, who did a great job keeping everyone on time and staying organized. The staff decorated which was also a huge plus as we only had to worry about drop off and pick up Sunday. The food was fantastic and we received many compliments about how great our food was from our guests. This was actually also the only venue we toured in person, as the pandemic was in full swing when we got engaged. A comforting factor is that this business does not rely on weddings to get by. It’s run by a massive insurance company and everything was handled extremely professionally during the planning process. I also want to put a plug in for Brittany, who handled all the meetings, contact, and planning with us for the majority of the time leading up to the wedding before she got promoted. Her attention to detail is impeccable and we felt in great hands as she was always prompt to respond to questions and is a true subject matter expert in all things wedding! Anyway, we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and highly recommend this venue for any couple searching for a beautiful wedding day. Even my vendors complimented nationwide as one of their favorites to work with due to the professionalism, food, and beautiful landscaping.
Our wedding here was perfect!! The grounds are gorgeous and so many of our guests told us how pretty everything was. The food was delicious, our wedding coordinator Emma was fantastic, and Nationwide made everything smooth from start to finish. At the end of our wedding night my husband and I found chocolate covered strawberries waiting for us in our room. Nationwide really pulled through for us and we are incredibly grateful for how everything turned out! There isn’t one thing I can say about what they could have done better.. it was flawless. THANK YOU!

Hi Melodie! Thank you so much for your kind words! We absolutely loved working with you both on your big day! Congratulations!
As a Wedding Planner, I have worked with hundreds of venues and I have to say that Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center is one of the best I've had the honor of working with. Brittany thought of everything. For a wedding I planned this past weekend, there were so many details and the set-up alone would have added so many extra hours to my contract. Brittany and her team stepped right up and with no hesitation helped to ensure that everything was set-up the way our client wanted while I was able to focus on the client and the ceremony at the church 30 mins away. Throughout the event she and her staff were so accommodating and flexible not only to guests but also to me and the other vendors. I almost felt like a guest myself! As a vendor, I have NEVER been fed before the wedding party and if you've ever worked a wedding, you KNOW how amazing it is to get to actually enjoy dinner before rushing back to work. Brittany and her team truly made our clients day and certainly made my day go smoothly. I can honestly say, I couldn't have done it without her. I highly recommend Nationwide Hotel & conference Center, especially the beautiful Edgewater venue. You will NOT regret booking your wedding (or event) at this gorgeous venue and having its amazing and talented staff with you on your special day. They are ready to do anything to make your day special and the food was amazing!!
Edgewater was the perfect location for our wedding reception! The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL and the hotel is a great place to have your guests stay and not have to worry about driving anywhere after the fun. Unfortunately due to Covid, we had a lot of changes to our original wedding plans, and NHCC was overly understanding and accommodating throughout the entire process. They helped make my dream wedding come to life, and managed to make it completely stress-free for me. They did all the set up and tear down of decorations, all the food and alcohol, and even had an extra dinner in the complimentary wedding suite for us after the reception ended! You will not be disappointed booking here!
Wow - we LOVED having our wedding at the Nationwide Hotel & Conference Center! The Edgewater room was so beautiful for both our ceremony and reception. It is truly a unique venue in that they have so many different spaces to utilize (we also took advantage of using an entirely different space for our rehearsal dinner & welcome party the day before). It is literally a picturesque campus with all of the benefits and conveniences of a hotel. The food was amazing, and all of the staff catered to our needs. Plus, all hotel guests get a complimentary hot breakfast the next morning! We are so happy that we chose NHCC for our entire wedding weekend and all of our guests had an amazing time. Cannot recommend enough!
We worked with Julie as our wedding coordinator and she was amazing! Helped the day and planning go smoothly!!
Nationwide was amazing from beginning to end. They made planning our weekend so easy, everything turned out better than we expected. Our guests raved about how nice it was to stay on property and the staff was so friendly. Kristen, our wedding coordinator at Nationwide, was so helpful and made our day perfect. We highly recommend Nationwide as a wedding venue.
We had to have our wedding postponed a year due to COVID, and NHCC was nothing but accommodating. The guests said the food was the best food they've ever had at a wedding, so don't stress about using their caterers -- they're worth it! Getting all the help we needed from Kristen and Emma and having the whole department help us when we needed to delay a payment... you literally couldn't ask for more. We loved our experience through NHCC and would highly recommend.
Kristen helped to make our reception perfect! Couldn't have asked for a better evening and it was such a smooth wedding planning process. The venue is beautiful with many great photo locations.
The Edwater room at NHCC is absolutely stunning and takes very little work to dress up for a wedding. We worked with Brittany who was kind, helpful, and extremely detail oriented every step of the way. They were accommodating to all of our ideas and requests and executed on the day of the wedding without a hitch. We used them for our catering as well. The tasting was made to be fun and covered a ton of details including wines, napkins, salad dressings, and more. They are an incredibly well organized venue and really take the stress out of the details. We also loved the extra touches for the couple the night of the wedding. We’re already sending engaged friends their way!
The 2 coordinators I worked with were very punctual when answering my countless emails / questions. Day of the wedding they did an AMAZING job with decor/decorating the room, it looked amazing! The food was absolutely perfect and everyone loved it! From the time we got engaged and contacted NHCC to the day we got married everything was so seamless and each individual helping us was so friendly and organized.
NHCC was the first of many venues we looked at and kept finding ourselves comparing everything to NHCC. The venue is beautiful and Brittany helped set up the most romantic and perfect ceremony and reception. She answered all of our questions, handled anything that popped up, and made sure we were happy with our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to get married.
