The Oscar Event Center

erful. Both Amber and Dianna let us set up our wedding the way we wanted, for a price that was considerably cheaper than any other value we looked at. In some cases, we paid half of what we would have at commensurate venues. The best part about this venue may be the food. There is a wide selection, and everything we had both at the tasting and at our wedding was excellent (which is what we have come to expect from Jungle Jim's). Everything from the ceremony to the flaming doughnut bar was executed smoothly. This venue richly deserves our 5 star review.

jority of the planning that went in to making our day special. Also, the cost seemed very reasonable when compared to other local venues. With the help of the exceptional staff, our day was beautiful, stress free, and everything that we could have hoped for. Thank you to everyone at the Oscar Event Center and Jungle Jim's!

inator I could have asked for! All my questions were always answered and nothing I inquired about was ever out of the question. I dropped the decorations off to Loren the day before and she and the staff arranged everything beautifully inside the venue! The staff were always around and asking if I needed anything and I was able to leave the decorations at the end of the night! I highly recommend this venue for your wedding, you won’t regret it!!

s I had and she always responded as soon as possible. We had our wedding rehearsal there as well, food and bar was amazing. I felt like a princess, they made sure I had everything I needed. I couldn’t have been happier with my wedding day and the best part is, they provide food and alcohol options so you don’t have to go to a different vendor! Very simple and easy.

o glad we did! She kept everything on the schedule that we planned out and handled every little detail on our wedding day. We had no stress, no problems, only an entire night to enjoy. Nothing could have went better. I wouldn't have changed a thing. Not many newly weds can say their night went flawlessly as we can say, and that's all because of Katie and her team. Again..take the advice Katie gives you..she knows what she is doing and you will be thankful you did. A big thank you!!!!

. Loren took all the creative suggestions I had and brought them to life. She also created a detailed timeline to help keep everything on track, and she personally coordinated with all of the vendors before our big day, which took a great deal of stress off of us. It has been weeks since our wedding and we are still getting compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed themselves at Oscar. For couples on the fence, I would 100% recommend Oscar Event Center for your wedding. It is truly worth it and you will not be disappointed!

her for everything. She listened to EXACTLY what I wanted, was amazing, communicated, and even threw in multiple surprises! I didn't like to hear from my wedding party how they thought her boss was disrespectful and breathed down her neck ( I thought Katie was helpful, but it made sense once I heard it)... but she was able to take lead, and do an amazing job event planning while juggling other events leading up to my big day. You'd be crazy to pass her up and passing up the Oscar..not to mention the food is to die for! They helped add to my floral arrangements by getting some flowers from Jungle Jim’s. I just cannot day enough great things about the Oscar and mostly about Heather. I plan to upload WAY better photos of this venue.. this is all I have for now since I just got married Saturday and Daniel Michael (also 10/10) wouldn't be able to send me photos until a few weeks! But if you're contemplating the Oscar, you can reach out to me for any questions or concerns you have!!!

and helpful when it came to making decisions or suggestions leading up to our big day. On top of all that, the venue was just incredible. From the bistro lighting to the rustic and elegant wood decor and exposed beams, this was the perfect venue to match exactly what we imagined our wedding day to look like. The Oscar Event Center also has extra perks to show off the special couple by putting their picture up on the Jungletron (Jumbotron). The table set ups were beautiful, just as we envisioned, and the food was even better. Everyone had nothing but great things to say about their meal and that it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! All around, the Oscar Event Center staff and venue was top notch. It will be a day we never forget how much fun we had spending time with family and friends along with the love and support we had. Thank you for making our fairytale come to life!

nderful the food was including the appetizers. The atmosphere – one word…AMAZING. The entire wedding party, especially my husband and I, received nothing short of white-glove service from the entire staff throughout the evening. They were very attentive, courtesy and went above and beyond. Loren and Riley, our coordinators, constantly checked in on us to see if we needed anything.. I would recommend The Oscar Event Center over any other wedding venue. They are so professional and give you one on one attention making sure that your wedding is THE most important wedding

event staff was helpful in planning and executing all of my son & daughter in laws dreams. They were unbelievably accommodating for the food tasting and any meetings that needed to occur. We started with Amber and transitioned to Riley and Loren - the transition was seamless thanks to their professionalism and thanks to the assistance of General Manager April Petri. Talk about the food - I have one word AMAZING!!!! Chef James and his staff knocked it out of the park. 4 days later I am still receiving texts from guests talking about how good the food was. Chef allowed us to customize the menu to fit the likes of my very picky son and was able to create menu options that were delicious. Steaks prepared to perfection, moist chicken and potato crusted salmon that melted in your mouth, not to mention creamy mashed potatoes, 2 appetizers that were so delicious!! The service staff was exceptional! Tracy, banquet manager, checked in multiple times throughout the night to make sure that everything was going according to plan and my server - Trista was one of the sweetest people I have ever met, she was attentive to our tables needs and made sure we were taken care of all night. Guests told us how all of the servers were so great and they never had empty glasses or dirty dishes on the table - WOW! The bar staff was quick and super friendly from the first to the last drink. The venue was beautiful, clean and set up EXACTLY how we had discussed and pictured - we would have not changed one thing! The amount of extra and personal touches that the Oscar staff did was so appreciated and will forever be remembered not only by the Bride and Groom but by all of us! Thank you sooooo much for making this day unforgettable. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

d it. Thanks also to Loren and Riley for their help in making everything flow so smoothly! The space looked amazing and the food was delicious! The entire staff did a great job, and we really appreciate their hard work! Thank you!

e to do everything for you (ceremony, food, drinks, and set-up) then this is the venue for you!

red vendors she provided did not disappoint. It really made the entire planning process easy. She wasn’t pushy about up-selling and was quick to respond to all of our questions and needs. The planning, and flawless execution was a well managed process that allowed us to thoroughly be in the moment at the reception and not worry about a thing. The set up and atmosphere of the decor was exactly as we had envisioned. The entire staff was super friendly, very professional and attentive. We decided to surprise the bride and groom with the flaming donut station and the staff pulled it off without a hitch! Everyone raved about the food and had a wonderful time! We are so pleased with the level of service we received at this hidden gem. Good customer service is alive and kicking at the Oscar Event Center! Thank you for making it a party to remember!

rom the rest of the venues we looked at. From our first meeting with Dianna, the event planner, we were treated with courtesy, extra-sharp professionalism and an acute knowledge of the space. She was our sole contact until the wedding, and she took the time to work with us individually through a number of meetings to customize and perfect the vision we had for our big day. When we were stumped with how to handle issues, we ended up using her suggestions for a number of choices and couldn’t be happier about it. Most incredibly, her responses to our emails, which were basically just large lists of questions, always came back much faster than we ever expected. We never felt overwhelmed, lost or alone in the planning process – frankly, we are still thrilled to have had such a phenomenal worker and consummate professional help us plan our wedding. The day of the wedding, our decorations and requests were perfectly executed and the space looked better than we even imagined. Dianna introduced us to the banquet team and manager, who would take care of our food and drinks throughout the night. The OEC banquet and bar crew performed incredibly for the entire evening, without exception. As far as the food itself, our appetizers and our main course were all perfect. (I highly suggest attending one of the tasting evenings that OEC hosts throughout the year – you will not regret it). The entire wedding party, especially my wife and I, received nothing short of white-glove service from the staff throughout the evening, and wanted for absolutely nothing. We weren’t the only ones impressed either – we have received many compliments from our guests about the attentiveness and courtesy of the staff, as well as the five-star quality of the food and drink. And even when we had a few boisterous guests at the bar near the end of the evening, the staff handled them with impressive professionalism and grace. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with choosing OEC to host the biggest event of our lives. We will never forget the experience, and I cannot recommend the venue, or the staff that makes it so incredible, enough.

ived at the venue on the day of the wedding. Katie had me go in first to take a look at the ceremony and reception rooms. I was in awe. It literally took my breath away. The decorations and set-up were beautiful <3 It was more than I had ever expected. There are no words to express the gratitude my husband and I feel for the love and happiness that was shared on our wedding day. My heart will forever be full <3

ve to my husband and I, and our guests. We highly recommend Oscar's Event Center at Jungle Jim's for any wedding event. Overall we were very pleased with the service and our event director, Dianna Hood, for making our special day that much better.

thly. They were very attentive to our wishes for our wedding reception and created the perfect day for us. They took care of all decorating and set up/tear down the day-of so we didn't have to worry about anything. This eliminated last minute stress. The food and drinks were amazing, our guests kept commenting on how good the food was. The wait staff was exceptional and were even taking drink orders for our guests. I cannot imagine having our wedding reception anywhere else!

ur dream wedding.

er to go over the timeline and ensure everyone was on the same page. We had so much great feedback from our guests about the food being so delicious (stuffed chicken and prime rib). I was extremely happy with their assistance and would definitely recommend this venue.

y email, they said my inquiry had been forwarded to someone else and it was "interesting" that she had not responded. They transferred me to that individual who made it sound very inconvenient to even talk to me, or to come in and see the venue because they are "just so busy". When I inquired about potential dates on a Friday, I was told they don't have any Saturdays available in those months. When I clarified I was looking for a Friday in two different months, I was told they don't have any dates available for the rest of 2019 with the exception of one, and the person I spoke with was very condescending and made it sound like a bother that I was even asking questions. We went ahead with a different venue, and when we booked our photographer whom did my sisters wedding and is amazing, she said the past few weddings they have done there the staff have been very difficult to work with and disclosed that they really dont like to do weddings and really just want to do corporate events. Do you really want to have your biggest day of your life somewhere they feel like you are an inconvenience?

hey ever had (We had spinach and Roasted red pepper stuffed chicken, brown pomegranate glazed baby carrots, the four cheese mac and cheese [which was the best thing I have ever tasted], and the beef brisket, which fell apart and was amazing). The bartenders were great too! I would recommend Oscar Event to anybody.

I would recommend this venue to anyone :)

u had, any requests you had, they made it happen. They will always keep you informed and will always reach out if anything is different or if they have any questions. If you want a Wedding Day that is nothing but perfect with nothing that goes wrong, Oscar is your place! Our day was absolutely wonderful and each staff member that day made it possible. I can't thank Dianna and the staff enough for a wonderful worry free evening, Thank you!

ds and took really good care of us. I didn't get to meet the rest of the staff until the day of my wedding but they were also just as great as they could be!! This venue fit our personalities and our budget. Seriously, I could go on for days about these guys. I love them!

l. All my guest were raving about the food and the wait staff was wonderful as well. Also, the other reason I would completely recommend this place, it is very affordable. Diane and the team helped make my day perfect!!

rustic at the same time. Our family could not stop raving at how gorgeous everything was plus if you do not want to buy decor they have some that comes with your plan and more you can add on. Second the people that work there are AMAZING! Our decor that I brought in was set up EXACTLY how I asked and everyone was very nice and polite. The food was so so so good and everyone could not stop talking about it. Best of all is the wedding coordinators. We first started with Katie and she was amazing. She is one of the sole reasons why we chose oscars as our venue. She was very prompt in answering all my 500 million questions and making sure I felt prepared and happy with everything. About half way through the wedding planning process she was promoted and we then got Amber as our wedding coordinator. Amber was also so amazing and she was very prompt in answering questions for me and the day of was my rock. She made sure everything was going very smoothly, created a timeline for the day of and made sure I didn’t feel overwhelmed. Honestly if I did not have them my wedding wouldn’t have turned out as amazing as it did. If you are looking for an amazing place to get married I promise you will not be disappointed with going to the Oscar Event Center.

ladies, this place is great for bathroom selfies! I could go on and on, but if you’re looking to have your wedding here or a business event or any kind of event, this is your place. Great atmosphere!

ng truly a fairytale. Our guests had a wonderful time and are still talking about Oscar's. Thanks again.

site. The food was phenomenal, my guests keep telling me how much they enjoyed their meal! I wouldn’t have had anything any other way. Thank you The Oscar!

y perfect. She communicated with our vendors for set up and helped everyone stay on track day-of. The food is AMAZING and every staff member that worked our wedding was so attentive and polite. We received so many compliments from our guests about how gorgeous the space was and how it was an overall great atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!

free. We wouldn't change a thing. Highly recommend!!

r vendors. The food was mind blowing! I would recommend this venue to EVERYONE who wants everything in one place & an elegant event.

o the workers, just everything. I am so happy with how our day turned out! And that is in thanks to Dianna, our wedding coordinator with the Oscar Event Center. She was a delight to work with. She made my dream wedding come true! It was such a smooth transition from ceremony to reception. I am still getting compliments from our guest on how great the staff was, and how amazing the food was. Even our photographer and DJ had never been there and they want to go back! I highly recommend the Oscar Event Center for your special day! :)

.Oh my goodness the food was amazing. It was everything my husband and I could have asked for.

scar Center. We love that it's connected to Jungle Jim's. However, our guests had no idea of it's affiliation until we told them. This venue is gorgeous, unique and extremely unique with cool details around every corner. The accommodations to get ready were fantastic! We loved how elaborate the restrooms were. It seems silly to note, but it was another cool added detail! Katie, the event coordinator, kept everyone in line, on task, and ensured a great time that made MY day much more enjoyable! She and her staff handled all our quirkiness and improv moments with stride. I could rave forever on how easy she made this for us! The food...AMAZING! We had spinach artichoke stuffed chicken, braised beef, green beans, and potatoes. Everyone is still talking about the cuisine! Looks like Jungle Jim's and the Oscar Event Center have 90 or more new customers! Thanks for everything, Katie and Staff!! You're the best!

tely amazing. They were refilling our guests drinks without them even having to ask! They were all SO friendly, so helpful and awesome overall. You could tell they actually enjoyed their jobs and really wanted us all to have a good time. We received so many compliments about the food, the staff and the venue in general. Everything went very smoothly and it was like a little girls dream come true. I couldn't recommend this venue more!!!!! You will not be disappointed.

ered all questions promptly. Everything went as planned - there were no hidden costs or surprises.

y throughout the planning process. We held our rehearsal dinner there, our ceremony and of course the reception and everything was flawless! I can't tell you how many of our guests raved about the food, the venue and the professionalism and courtesy of the staff. Many people said it was the best wedding they ever attended! Words can honestly not express how thankful I am for the help in making our day absolutely perfect!

e order that she cooperated with very well. The food was phenomenal! The ambiance of the center was absolutely perfect. We couldn't have found a better place to host our wedding and reception!

appy Hour' style dinner with various food stations. We chose the potato wedge station (with various toppings); the mini slider and mini chicken breast sandwiches (again with various toppings you chose yourself); Italian station with various pasta/sauces, meatballs, veggies and garlic bread. End of the night late night snacks were a hit though we were having such a great time we really didn't get to try them (popcorn, chipsw/salsa/queso). I would have provided a perfect 5 star review but there was an issue with not allowing our party favors to be put out (since they contained alcohol). We had discussed this previously but management changed their mind the day of the reception. There is also a 20% service fee added to the bill. This was not disclosed when the food/beverage minimum was quoted. Seems trivial but it really adds up as the bill increases. Overall, we were very happy with the evening. Staff and service were great. Dianna was easy to contact and very knowledgeable. All our guests had a wonderful experience and complimented us throughout the evening on the beauty of the location and the yummy food.

top of things and lists and making sure we are all where we needed to be. She has excellent customer service and is a great asset to this event center. Being from TN I just wish we had something close to our home with such great hospitality, service and the view. The rooms are breathtaking and it's certainly something you don't want to turn away from. Don't let the name and the location turn you away! You won't be disappointed! Thank you Katie and staff for all you did to make the night great!

was on point. I am still getting comments on how great the food was and how beautiful the venue was! Katie, the event coordinator, is an absolute GEM. She was efficient and organized enough that it took so much stress off of me. Anything I needed, she was on top of, with no questions or hesitation. I would recommend the Oscar Event Center to absolutely anyone. It made our big day even more perfect!

ional service! Our bridal party all loved being pampered with drink service while at the head table. I can't say enough how wonderful they made our wedding! Highly recommend them for any event you may be having!

is was the best wedding food they have had! We highly recommend The Oscar Event Center for any event!!

y and accommodating! Special thanks to Ryan for taking such good care of us and to Dianna for answering all my questions and helping to look out for the tiniest of details! We could not have had a better time and our friends and family, as well as ourselves, will be talking about this evening for a very long time to come.

nd all of my guests enjoy themselves very much! I would recommend this venue for all weddings of any size! Thank you Oscar Event Center :)

service, to the food, to the whole ambiance - it was perfection. I wished I could have spent more time during the night taking in all the details of the evening - I feel like it went by in blur! I can't imagine the work that was put in to make our wedding picture perfect - whatever you all did, you did it fantastically! And we so dearly appreciate it. Round of applause to all of you! A heartfelt thank you for the bottom of our hearts!!! Dana and Todd

ff were absolutely incredible. They helped with everything down to the fine details that made our day so special. My bridal party and I got ready the day of in the bridal suite and we we felt like royalty! The wait staff and bartenders catered to our guests and bridal party so attentively. We heard nothing but good things from our guests, too! I can't forget about the food, oh my goodness the food! It was absolutely delicious. As a spoiled Italian who loves her home cooked handmade food, trust me (I'm drooling just thinking about it again!). Everything is wonderful at Oscar, even down to the logistics of it all. You can bring in your own vendors and the staff will recommend vendors they've worked with in the past if you're looking for help finding them. They are responsive and quick to assist you with anything you need. Oscar Event Center, Dianna, Steve and Ryan by far exceeded all of our expectations.

ood was absolutely amazing and my guest agreed, everything tasted great! The STAFF was absolutely WONDERFUL!! Helping my now husband and I and getting all my guest drinks and anything they needed! It was beautiful and I would recommend this venue to any bride and groom in the Cincinnati area! Thank you Oscar event center for making our wedding a night to remember! I have no complaints!

Jungle Jims and was very reasonably priced. It couldn't have gone any better. The price was very reasonable. I can not recommend this place enough. It was PERFECT!!!

ssly to make everything look perfect and run smoothly. The staff arrived early to make sure the tables and the buffet were ready to go. The food was excellent. The DJ said it was some of the best wedding food he's had in a while! Throughout the reception, the staff was extremely professional and stayed on top of things. Dianna, Ryan, Patty, and the rest of the staff were flexible and accommodating with anything that came up. At the end of the evening, they were efficient and helpful in cleaning up the venue. Start to finish, my husband and I are so thankful we went with the Oscar Event Center to cater the wedding!!

answered. He never let me worry about anything and waited until I was alone before asking/addressing upcoming issues. He helped keep me on track time wise and helped game plan to make sure everything we needed was taken care of, and we did everything we had wanted and planned to do. Everyone on the staff was so polite and everyone raved over the service! People said they hadn’t even put their drink down and the waiters were there to refill it. No one went empty handed, the staff memorized guests drink orders and felt as if they had their own personal waiter. They loved how beautiful and unique the venue was, the lighting, the space, the balcony, everything beautiful. Many said this was the best reception they’ve been to, best compliment we could receive. The FOOD! OMG the food! I wish I would have been able to eat more of it. I didn’t even see the hors o’euvres, but I’m sure they were fabulous, I didn’t get to try the Salmon, I should have juts asked for another plate, but who had the time. The salad dressing, the flavor of the salmon, the crab meat melted in your mouth. Even the size and taste of the chicken fingers, many parents told me at the end of the evening that they would have been happy with the kids meal. The portions were unbelievable, so large and filling. Thanks again for a magical evening! I wouldn’t have changed anything, but slowing down the time spent there, enjoying every moment.

They made it so special for my husband and I and even the rest of my bridal party. Everyone fell in love with their staff. They did an excellent job! They were on top of everything, as the staff always checked in with us and the wedding party to see if we needed anything! The food was delicious, the price is affordable, the location is great with lots of parking for all the guest! I highly recommend the Oscar Event Center! It is a beautiful place to have your wedding!

d. Thank god for the GM April who swept in and made sure to make things perfect. I would recommend this place! I do recommend dealing with April as much as possible.

to anyone planning their wedding!!! Mr. And Mrs. Robinson 1-30-16

50+ years of attending weddings, the Oscar staff made this night an absolute dream come true! I am very happy to give my highest recommendation for the Oscar Event Center for your wedding needs. They are the most polite, patient, professional event staff that I have ever met! Great Job by the entire crew!

ur wedding coordinator and answering any questions we had. From arranging a Skyline coney bar as a late-night snack to allowing us in the private wine cellar at Jungle Jim's for pictures to switching our ceremony space into a different room than initially planned, she graciously accommodated our every wish. Based on her years of experience, she also provided us with invaluable advice that we desperately needed during the planning process. The space was absolutely gorgeous, including the breathtaking women's restroom and the awesome pub. In fact, the venue is so gorgeous that it barely required any extra decorations on our part! The women's restroom served as the perfect place to get ready with my bridesmaids and the Oscar even stocked the room with champagne, cheese, fruit, water, soda, and other snacks for us! Guests were allowed on the heated balcony during the reception and I know that was a hit with those who wanted a break from the action. The staff, especially Ryan, was amazing all night. He made sure we had everything we needed - keeping drinks in our hands at all times and even bringing me cocktail hour appetizers when I needed a private break from the reception. The food, which was catered through the Oscar, was absolutely delicious. I can't speak highly enough about the stuffed chicken! We've received many compliments about dinner and several guests have called it "the best wedding food" they've ever eaten. The cake and cupcakes were delicious, too and the staff packed them up for us to take home at the end of the night. The staff at the Oscar worked seamlessly with our other vendors (DJ, photo booth, photographer) and it was a godsend not to have to worry about the logistics of the evening once the reception started. I truly can't speak highly enough about the wonderful experience we had with Dianna and the Oscar Event Center. Our wedding was truly the best night of our lives and that is due in no small part to the efforts of the entire staff at the Oscar. Our only regret is that it ended too soon!

out the entire planning process, if I had a question, I always heard back from Dianne quickly. She was incredibly helpful! The food was incredible, as was the service. We had people helping us from the minute we walked into the door, keeping drinks in our hands and making sure we were enjoying our night. Everyone was pleasant and willing to do whatever it took to make sure we were having a wonderful evening! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and very well maintained. We have gotten so many compliments on the space itself, the service and the food, and our wedding was only two days ago! Thank you to the entire Oscar Event Center staff for making our wedding a night to remember!

now about and so positive throughout the night. We had a guest with many dietary restrictions that we did not know about. They went out of their way to make her a new meal that fit her needs right away. We couldn't have been happier! Thanks for making our day go so smoothly!

eded anything the staff was right there. Ryan did an amazing job and I recommend this venue to everyone. All of my guests simply raved about how beautiful it was and how truly amazing the staff was. Perfect wedding at a perfect venue!

dding day was perfect and I would not have picked any better place to have it at. I recommend The Oscar Event Center if you are looking for a great venue with great staff and beautiful architecture. For dinner we had the Three Mushroom Stuffed Chicken and Salmon. Both dishes were excellent and the mash potatoes were awesome. I also want to thank the staff members for making my day the best day ever. Ryan and Santa thank you so much you made me feel like a princess that was marrying her prince. For those looking for a great venue, please check this out, you will not be disappointed. Whitney & Timothy 8-15-15

paration of the wedding as she always pointed out things that most brides wouldn't have contemplated. She also had an awesome staff working behind her the day of! Everyone greeted us very nicely and provided us the most excellence of service! The girls bathroom is very large and made up for a perfect space for the bridesmaids and I to get ready in! Thank you so much for providing us with the perfect touch for our special day!

sponses to all of our questions since last August, as well as her coordination efforts and help during the rehearsal and the wedding day. The staff was beyond helpful anytime we needed something and they went out of their way to make sure our wedding party was taken care of and our guests were pleased. We received so many compliments on the day of and since the wedding from our guests about how beautiful the Oscar Event Center is and how amazing the food was! We honestly cannot thank them enough for making our big day so meaningful and easygoing! We would highly recommend Dianna and her staff and the Oscar Event Center to anyone looking to host a wedding or other event.
