The Ohioan Hotel and Event Center

lle Bushman who put it all together for us.

rk 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!

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.

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 5/4/2024

ms. 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!

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

e 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.

erfect and the day ran so smoothly. I couldn’t recommend a better venue!

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!!

lace, 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!

ommend 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.

if they could work with Desi. The staff was kind and efficient.

h 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 would choose NHCC 1000x over. Danielle was a delight to work with as our day of coordinator. Truly the hidden gem of Columbus!!!

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.

ating 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.

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! =-)

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!

HCC 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!

ssionalism, 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!

lowed 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!

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.

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!

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!

ur 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!

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!

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!

ys 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!!

ything 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!!!

e 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!

e 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.

e 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.

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!

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!

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!

utdoors 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

ith 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!

very 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!

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!

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.
