Sondra and her team provided us with a wedding of our dreams. For over a year, she kindly took the time to field our questions, and prepare us for the weekend of our lives. Our gue...

sts could not have been happier with the rooms, with the food, with the helpfulness of the hotel staff. We fell in love with this hotel right away, and it is easy to see why. The gallery was spacious enough to seat our wedding of 260 guests. The lobby was beautiful, and will forever remember conversing with guests as they arrived. There were multiple beautiful spaces for my wife and I to gather with our wedding party to get ready. Most importantly, our families and friends felt comfortable here, and we did not register a single complaint!

We couldn’t have chosen a better place than Summit for our wedding hotel block. Sondra helped coordinate and was awesome! Everything about our experience was exceptional. The rooms...

were beautiful: spacious, modern, and perfect for winding down during such a busy weekend. The hotel bar quickly became a favorite for our guests, and the food throughout our stay was consistently great. The rooftop was another highlight, with incredible views that made every moment feel special. We also did our first look at Summit, and it turned out to be absolutely dreamy. The space photographed beautifully and made that moment feel even more memorable. The hotel went above and beyond in accommodating our wedding party. The conference room was perfect for the girls to get ready, and the study space worked so well for the guys. It made the whole morning feel organized, relaxed, and fun. The shuttle service and hotel block coordination were seamless, and our guests really appreciated the convenience. Another unexpected perk was the Starbucks café on the bottom floor: ideal for quick breakfasts, caffeine boosts, and keeping everyone moving on schedule. Summit truly made our wedding weekend feel elevated and effortless!

rom the very first contact to the last goodbye, everyone was warm, fun, professional, and accommodating. It's clear they love their work! The Art Gallery was such a unique and beautiful venue for our wedding and reception! Our guests loved the space, raved about the delicious food, and had a ball with the bartenders. As a centralized base of operations, the hotel itself was perfect. Lovely rooms, plenty of space for our families and friends to chat, and directly across the street from Element Eatery. Overall, 12/10. Highly recommend!

The Summit is your one stop shop for all things wedding because they have an amazing event coordinator, great food (and drinks!) and accommodations for out of town guests. 10/10 cannot recommend enough for your special day!

ement, to meal selections, to our floor plan, the team worked with us every step of the way to make it a simple, streamlined, and enjoyable process. Every single member of their team we interacted with, from Event Coordinator (Alex) to support staff, waiters, and custodians (Tommy, Branka, and Eric) to the Banquet Managers (Kerry and Brent), everyone was incredibly helpful, outgoing, and did everything they could to make sure our weekend was special. Our family and friends loved the hotel; you can’t beat the ease and convenience of having everyone all in one place. The Summit offered amazing getting ready rooms, delicious dinner (huge portions), and a large and diverse bar menu. The Summit met with us several times to review every detail, proactively provided recommendations and support, and continued to check-in with us after the reception date to ensure we were satisfied. 10 out of 10!

I have to say the summit hotel was the perfect place for us to get married! We toured a bunch of venues around Cincinnati, and we found something a little wrong with every single o...

ne. The summit checked every single box that we needed! first of all, we had a wedding with a large group of people attending from out of town, so having a comfortable place and super spacious (seriously, big rooms!) for them to stay and not having to worry about them going from the ceremony venue to the reception was a godsend. on top of that, the venue is gorgeous, very accommodating, and let me tell you the food is unreal! We did a stations wedding, and I have never heard so many compliments for food at a wedding! We really enjoyed dealing with the staff (Alex, Brent, Kerry, Branka) who made sure our day was super special, and the icing on the cake was that all of our friends and family stayed on the large and comfortable dance floor the entire evening! One final thing you might not think about is that they include a backup space if it happens to rain if you want to use the outdoor space for their wedding... I don't know how many venues can guarantee that! can't recommend this venue enough, especially if you have a large group needing to use the hotel for accommodations. 5 stars !!!

We ended up moving our wedding from a different venue twice . We went through a lot of planning and my wedding planner Karen found out about The Summit and says it would be perfect...

! It was! We worked with Michelle up until the day of the wedding and she was very communicative, responsive , nice and professional ! She was so helpful and attentive throughout the day for anything we needed. The food at dinner was fantastic. We also held a farewell breakfast the next morning and that was great as well! Everything from top to bottom was absolutely beautiful!

The venue is beautiful and has everything you're looking for. We wanted a one stop shop that could provide the ceremony, reception and accommodations. The Summit checks all the box...

es. But the reason I wanted to make sure I wrote a 5 star review has more to do with the staff (because the building is amazing, it speaks for itself, you'll love it as soon as you walk in). I hope everyone who chooses The Summit gets a chance to work with Michelle Taylor. She did an absolutely first class job getting everything together for us. I cannot speak more highly of her, her staff, and the job that The Summit did in accommodating us on our big weekend. I felt like the response to every request was, "Yes, I can make that happen" and she did make it happen, but also went above and beyond what was expected of her. This is a first class building and experience, we highly recommend choosing The Summit.

We ended up moving our wedding from a different venue and having a mini wedding at the Summit. It was better than we could have imagined. We worked with Jennifer up until the day...

of the wedding and she was very responsive. On the big day, Donovan took over. He was AMAZING. He was so helpful and attentive throughout the day for anything we needed. The food at dinner was fantastic. We also held a breakfast the next morning and that was delicious. The chef also was very helpful in coming up with food options for one guest with significant food allergies. We couldn't have asked for better service.

My fiancé, now wife, can not get over the level of service we received from The Summit team which has created unforgettable memories. We are beyond grateful.
