My wife and I got married in September of 2021 and looked at many venues around Downtown Cincinnati, and The Spot was by far the most beautiful and cost effective for the wedding we chose. They were flexible with which vendors we could hire an...
d bring in which made planning the event easier and more personalized. We loved being able to customize the venue with our own decor as well as bring in our own licensed bar tenders and caterers. The place is beautiful and can be set up in a variety of different ways making every event there unique. The exposed brick and the industrial look was exactly what we were looking for. Additionally, it's conveniently located within walking distance to many great hotels, restaurants, bars, the Banks, OTR, and more. The venue was extremely spacious for our 100 guests and felt there was plenty of room for more. Our setup required a flip for the reception which was done in record time with their teams help. The bridal suite made for a wonderful place for the wedding party to leave their personal items. Being able to put down a deposit and not needing to pay the rest until the day of the event allowed us to save money for our big day, while knowing we had secured our perfect spot and could begin planning the rest with caterers, making invites, and everything else involved. Sam and Christy were super accommodating from start to finish with all of our requests, day and night. They allowed my wife to schedule a mock set up with our wedding planner while she was in town (we live in NYC), which made the day of the event flow much better. Sam even went out of her way the next day to help us load up items which they kept safely secured overnight so we could enjoy the rest of our evening as newlyweds with friends and family. We received numerous compliments on our venue choice and our guests were wowed at how everything came together at the Spot on West Fifth. We will definitely consider using this venue in the future for family events in Cincinnati! We are so thankful to Sam, Christy, and the Team at the Spot on West Fifth as they made our day truly magical! If you're considering where to host your upcoming wedding, the Spot on West Fifth is the place to book!

We were so thrilled with our day, and The Spot played a very large part in making that happen. I can not say enough about the ease and peace of mind using this venue gave us, or recommend them strongly enough. Book this Venue!

I am a little late leaving this review, but WOW is all I really need to say. I got married here this past September and it was nothing short of amazing. Christy and her team went above and beyond throughout the whole process. Planning a wedding...
during COVID adds an extra layer of stress, but I truly never felt any stress or worries when working with my vendors. Christy and Sam made sure that we had everything we wanted and more! When I say above and beyond... I mean it. Christy even took our Skyline Dip back to her house and heated it up for us before we returned for the rehearsal dinner. Not only are Christy and her team great, but the space is absolutely stunning. Some of my favorite highlights are the gorgeous exposed brick, the flexible floor-plans, the ability to stock your own bar, the location, and truly being able to plan your event the way that you want it. We really didn't want your traditional wedding and The Spot made all of our crazy ideas happen. Yes, even our donut toss instead of a cake cutting. The business model at The Spot allowed us to save a lot of money. We stocked the bar ourselves and were able to bring in the vendors that we wanted. No extra hidden fees or costs. They really give you the bones of the event and then allow you to create the event of your dreams. Everything was truly top notch, including the set-up and clean-up. We were able to get into the space on Friday and set up/drop off everything that we needed. We then set up a time on Sunday to come pick up the remaining decorations and leftover items. When we arrived on Sunday everything was boxed up and ready to be loaded off into our cars. A process we thought was going to take an hour or so was done in about 30 minutes. I must say, The Spot allowed us to throw one heck of a party that we will never forget. Our guests have shared nothing but great things and I would highly recommend having your wedding or any event here. I could rave on about The Spot for days, but I think I've covered the basics. Thank you so much Christy & Sam!

Despite all the madness happening in the world in 2020, we were able to have the wedding of our dreams at The Spot on West Fifth last month. We booked the venue during summer 2019 because of its raw beauty and the ability to transform the space...
however we wanted. Christy and Sam were a dream to work with and were accomadating and really went above and beyond, including timely answers to emails (a day or two max), willingness to meet us at the venue more than once to discuss design, presence at set-up, rehearsal dinner, allowing us to string lights across the ceiling, projecting our wedding hashtag on the back wall from their projector, fantastic communication with all of our vendors including a pre-wedding zoom meeting... and they did all of this in the midst of a pandemic. I don't think they ever told us something was "undoable"... they really worked with us to give us the wedding of our dreams. Based on Christy's recommendation, we went cabaret style for our wedding and had the ceremony and reception at The Spot, and it couldn't have been more perfect and intimate! Sam helped us find the perfect set-up to accomodate all of our guests while still giving me the perfect bridal aisle to walk down. I didn't want a big flip, so we designed it to only have to move the head table out, and it worked beautifully. The bathrooms are beautiful and large (at least 4 stalls in womens), there is a fun get ready room for the bride, a huge bar, and a very nice catering kitchen. This place really has it all, and I will forever be thankful that we got to meet Christy & Sam and have our wedding at The Spot! If you want a beautiful and unique wedding venue in downtown Cincinnati... look no further! This is your place!!

choosing our own caterer as this was so budget friendly! When we booked back in May 2019, they hadn’t even had their first big event or wedding, but we would’ve never known it was so new. All of the planning and setup went seamlessly. It was so cool to see the space evolve and see the little changes (painting the outside, hanging string lights inside, providing bartenders, etc) they made to make the space even better. Christy and Sam were organized, answered all our questions, provided guidelines for COVID precautions, and helped create our wedding vision with the space. Christy suggested “cabaret style” back in May 2019 and this ended up being perfect with social distancing. We were able to book the space for rehearsal the day before which allowed us to set everything up and decorate Thursday afternoon. Sam was there the entire time and helped out with table layout and turning chairs to face the “alter.” Christy was available the day of the wedding and was great with communicating with our vendors and my aunts. She even set my flower centerpieces on tables for us! I could not have pictured our day going any more perfect and so much of that I owe to Christy and Sam. Book your wedding and/or reception at The Spot! You won’t be disappointed!

The team at The Spot on West Fifth was so amazing! We were originally scheduled to get married in June but had to move our wedding to early September 2020. Coordination: Leading up to the event, with all the date changes, and presumably as is...
typical with any wedding, there were a ton of details to keep track of. The Spot helped us be mindful of things to remember, they would send us reminders or make observations for things to consider that we hadn't thought of, and for us. Sam and Christy set up a meeting the week before the wedding with all of our vendors to get on the same page about timelines and day of, how things will work. Space: The venue is beautiful. It has a very modern look but also industrial with the brick walls that was immediately impressive to us. I believe The Spot was the second place we looked at for venues and we knew right away that it would be where we would want to get married. The space is large enough and malleable enough that it can accommodate so many different floorplans. For us, we prioritized separation between different households above all else and the space really worked well for this. We did not go with traditional rows for our ceremony, but instead had everyone seated at the round tables they would eat dinner at. We ended up being able to have enough space to limit people to between 4-6 at tables, with plenty of room left over for our gift tables, caterers, the bar, dance floor, and our caricature artist. If there was one thing that could be improved with our experience, it was that the speakers and projector that are in the space could be operated by more than just the one DJ company The Spot has a partnership with. We wanted to go with a different DJ but in order to have a slideshow, we still needed to hire the other company to be able to use the projector. Location: The Spot is right in downtown Cincy across from the Convention Center. It's one block from the Hyatt and two from the Hilton. There are so many other hotels nearby in easy walking distance as well. You can walk to parks, museums, and restaurants all over downtown. For us, hotel location was key. For our guests, they loved how close they were to so many sites in downtown, and this would not have been possible if were not for The Spot's prime location. Staff: It's already been mentioned throughout this review, but Christy and Sam could sell the place on their own. Their advice, patience, and how accommodating they were to our requests over the year we worked with them was so appreciated. The day of the wedding, Sam was EVERYWHERE and filled in wherever anything was needed. I know several of the things that she took the time to help out with, only because I asked. I only vaguely know from my groomsmen that she was all over the place solving small problems before they'd become bigger. I love that she did all of that without asking and I'm amazed that she could do it all without me finding out about most of it that night. Verdict: The Spot is a great venue, but the team that runs it made our experience. Don't hesitate to book with them. Your wedding day will be amazing, but perhaps more importantly, the amount of stress you'll feel leading up to and during it will be so greatly reduced. We loved our experience and would highly recommend this venue and this team.

We struggled to find a venue in Cincinnati that had an industrial feel & that would allow us to add our own creativity, but Christy was receptive to all of our ideas & assisted in making sure our vision came to life. We received so many compliments on the venue & on the kindness of Christy & Sam. The availability of two bars was convenient & the ability to bring in our own alcohol & beverages not only saved us money, but also allowed us to choose drinks & mixers that we knew our guests would enjoy. On top of being a beautiful space, the staff, Christy & Sam, are an absolute delight to work with. Christy is accommodating, responsive, personable, helpful, & everything else you want from a venue owner. It was evident she had our best interest at heart throughout the entire process. She was able to offer suggestions & guidance throughout the process. Sam was there the night-of & did an excellent job of ensuring everything ran smoothly. We brought in a lot of our own decor & linens & Sam & the team were even kind enough to bag & box everything so that pickup the next morning was a breeze. I cannot thank them enough for helping to make our wedding day so perfect & exactly what we wanted. Again, I cannot say enough kind words or express enough gratitude for how much Christy & her team contributed in making our day absolutely perfect.

My (now) husband and I were the first ever couple to get married here and WOW! I had the most perfect wedding day a girl could ever dream of. This venue is absolutely stunning with its industrial / rustic feel and so much room as well as a port...
able bar and stunning get ready room that’s been recently decorated. I want to personally thank Christy and her amazing team for working with my husband and I through and through making sure every little detail was on point come our wedding day! Ben and I can’t thank you enough and if you’re recently engaged or have been for some time, I promise.. this is the venue for you! 💕 Much love from the new Rosenbergs!

I really appreciate the kind words. We were so excited about hosting your wedding and it turned out so beautiful and really it was so much fun. But my favorite part was just how sweet you and Ben were together. In the end it's all about that...
and that is what really made it so wonderful. Thanks for letting us be a part of your always and forever. :)
