Thoughtfully renovated church in Cincinnati, Ohio
Holds ceremonies and receptions
The Royce Wedding Venue in Downtown Cincinnati, OH
Once a gothic-style church in the 1860s, the Royce is now a historic wedding venue thoughtfully restored and filled with luxurious modern amenities. Spanning across three centuries, it has sat as a cornerstone of the neighborhood in the heart of downtown Cincinnati, and just steps away from bustling city life. The Royce provides an elevated setting for ceremonies, receptions, rehearsals, and celebrations of all sizes, and offers space for wedding parties of up to 275 people.
Say "I do" to the Great Hall at The Royce
The Great Hall was constructed in 1859, in an architectural style that is no longer seen in the 21st century. Seventy-one-foot-tall ceilings, 8-by-20-foot stained glass windows, and original organ pipes will help to transport you and your loved ones back to a time long ago. It is designed to delight from every angle, and with over 5,000 square feet of space on offer, there is no shortage of possibilities when creating a bespoke wedding plan. Whether you dream of a banquet-style setting or a more casual gathering, the layout at the Royce is flexible and customizable in every way.
Celebrating Your Big Day Your Way
Once you arrive, as part of your Royce wedding day package, you will have access to the luxurious private dressing suites so you and your party can prepare at your own pace in a relaxed and comfortable environment. You will also meet the on-site event coordinator, who will work with you throughout the day to ensure your day rolls along smoothly. While all vendors are welcome at the Royce, they have an exclusive agreement with three local catering partners; the choice of which one is up to you.

We had the most beautiful experience getting married at The Royce! 🤍 It was such a special feeling knowing that we were the very first wedding ceremony to take place at the venue,...
and we feel so honored to have been able to be the first couple to celebrate such an important day there.
From the beautiful space to the overall atmosphere, the venue gave us the elegant, timeless setting we had envisioned for our wedding. There was so much potential in the space, and it was so exciting to watch everything come together for our day.
Being the first ceremony, and second wedding all together, that also meant that there were a few little things that came with being a new venue, but Christina and the team were incredibly accommodating and worked with us to make sure everything came together. We truly appreciate their willingness to help and make our wedding day special.
We are so grateful that we got to be part of the beginning of what we hope will be many beautiful weddings at The Royce. We will always have a special connection to this place knowing that our wedding was one of the first ones celebrated there. 🤍
Thank you for being part of such an unforgettable day for us!
