- Mr. & Mrs. Ashleigh & Joey Hunter
WOW! We booked Whitehall Columbia for a ceremony only and use of the bridal suite for getting ready in the morning. The entire process was organized and so easy. The coordinator, Julia, is calm, organized, and really knows her stuff. It is very clear how experienced she is because the day was so smooth. She is truly an asset that I didn't know I needed on my team for the wedding day.
The getting ready space and ceremony space at Whitehall Columbia is absolutely beautiful. The staff set up our space exactly how I imagined and was on time and organized in both set up and break down. If you are looking for a seamless experience for your beautiful wedding ceremony, you will not be disappointed with Whitehall Columbia.
I cannot recommend Whitehall Columbia enough! Our wedding was absolutely perfect and we got so many compliments on how pretty and unique the venue was. Julia was so incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. The bridal suite is absolutely gorgeous! I can’t say enough good things about Whitehall and the staff, they truly made the planning process stress free and made our vision come to life. If I could give them 10 stars I would!!
Any questions?
We could not recommend Whitehall Columbia enough. We knew this would be our wedding venue from the moment we first toured. It is such a beautiful, unique and fun space and the communication and attention to detail sold us as we knew we would be planing our wedding from out of state. Their wedding coordinator Julia was simply amazing to work with!
Whitehall has left us speechless. Our wedding went so smooth, so perfect, and it was all thanks to them! We barely lifted a finger for our wedding! Communication, professionalism, and the wedding hall itself were all 10/10.
Whitehall Columbia was the perfect choice! We highly recommend them. Great communication which made planning easy. They strive to help you and make your day as special and perfect as you’ve envisioned it to be. They go out of their way to help you, expressing great care. The quality of service was impeccable from start to finish. Extremely nice and friendly staff. We had no worries at all. We have to say it again, we highly recommend them.
I cannot begin to describe how amazing Whitehall Columbia was. Julia is phenomenal and was so helpful during the entire planning process. The wedding turned out amazing, the decorations were perfect, and there was really no flaw. I recommend Whitehall to anyone planning to get married. It was by far the best venue. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Communication was fantastic, they followed your wishes and were there for you every step of the way. It is also such a beautiful venue, guest love it. Recommend 100%%%%
This venue was absolutely perfect! Julia was there every step of the way and made everything run so smoothly! I wanted a one stop shop and I was not disappointed! The Bridal Get Ready room was a great way to spend time with my girls and be on site. Hair and Make up came to us and I felt so comfortable! I received so many compliments on how gorgeous and unique the space was. I got married in November so I had an inside ceremony and everything went so smooth. I 10/10 would recommend to anyone and I even have a coworker who chose this venue for her own upcoming wedding!
My now husband and I loved this venue from the day we toured it. Whitehall was the first venue we toured and we knew from the moment we got in the car to head home that Whitehall was where we were having our wedding. The building is absolutely stunning! I felt no need to add a ton of decorations to my wedding because the entire venue is beautiful as it stands.
Julia was our coordinator through the venue. I can honestly say without Julia I would have had multiple mental breakdowns throughout the planning process. She goes above and beyond and takes care of literally everything you need. Through every issue that arose to my forgetfulness, Julia was on top of it all and truly made my wedding day even more amazing than I pictured it would be.
Whitehall was the PERFECT venue! I can vouch that they are worth every penny spent and more! They treat you like family in the best way. I have and will continue to recommend Whitehall to anyone that asks!
We had Whitehall as our ceremony venue for our wedding in October 2023. It was absolutely the perfect choice. Julia (and the rest of the Whitehall staff) made the process, planning, and day of so smooth and hassle free! Julia had everything organized and made sure every question, concern, and detail was taken care of without hesitation. The spaces they offer are also so beautiful and accommodating to all! It was an amazing place especially since we only needed just a ceremony place! We couldn’t recommend Whitehall enough!!

Whitehall (& Julia) were the absolute BEST decision we made for our wedding. They truly do it all, from the planning help leading up to the wedding, setting up our decor more beautifully than I could have even imagined and packing it all up for us to pick up the following week. The services Whitehall offers save so much time & stress - they are worth every penny. While it was the bridal suites that initially won me over, Julia stole the show in the long run. She was so helpful throughout the entire process and played the role of venue coordinator and day of coordinator. Not to mention, she sewed my bustle back up mid reception when it kept breaking so I could get back on the dance floor. Book Whitehall, I promise you won't regret it.
Whitehall made out wedding planning a breeze! Julia was absolutely amazing with her communication leading up to the wedding day and her execution the day of. Caterer, DJ and Venue all work together and communicate so that everything is seamless. We were able to get ready, do all of our photos, have the ceremony and reception all in one place which was so important to me. We have gotten so many complements on how unique and beautiful the venue was. There is absolutely nothing that I would change about our day. Thank you Whitehall for making all of our wedding dreams come true.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND having your wedding at Whitehall if you want to be a HAPPY, stress free bride!!! I could not say enough great things about our experience with Julia and her whole team. We planned our wedding out of state and the communication and understanding with the whole staff was outstanding, made it much easier for me and my husband! As for the week leading up the the wedding, things were so organized and Julia made sure every single question was answered. And the wedding day…. I have a million positive things to say. But to make it short and sweet, the venue was beautiful, the staff was so helpful, and all of the recommended vendors were absolutely amazing. Our wedding was the best day of our life so far and it is a huge thanks to the staff at Whitehall and how beautiful this venue is.
Whitehall Columbia is the best! They are very professional, very communicative, so kind and they really care about their clients! Our guests had the best time and everyone was so happy all night! Best night of our lives!
Whitehall was the perfect wedding venue for us. The service was outstanding. They paid very careful attention to every detail and worked to make our day perfect. Julia was very easy to work with and attended to all of our needs. She helped make our day flow seamlessly from start to finish. The vendors that work with Whitehall were very impressive as well. We couldn't of asked for a better place to have our reception at. Highly recommend!!
The venue and concierge were great to work with!
We had the very best reception held at Whitehall!
I seriously could not have asked for a better venue to have our reception at. Harold and Julia in particular were spectacular in helping us with the planning and decorating of the space and totally helped our vision come to life! I feel so grateful for how much they eased the stress of wedding planning and I could not recommend this venue more. It is amazing, from the staff to the vendors, Whitehall is the best!
Whitehall Columbia was INCREDIBLE to work with. Not only is the space elegant and gorgeous (outdoor and indoor), but the staff is incredibly accommodating. Julia worked with us at every step to make sure we had all of the information we needed, answered all of our questions, would remind us of things we had never thought about...she did it all in such a gracious and humble way! This is a space and a staff that truly has/thinks of everything. One of the reasons my fiancé, my family, and I could breathe easier on our big day was because we knew Julia was working so hard behind the scenes and worked seamlessly with all of our other vendors. The space itself is so dreamy - it's everything and more that we imagined our wedding day being. I truly cannot imagine us having our wedding anywhere else! BEST VENUE EVER!
Whitehall Columbia truly made my wedding experience the most enjoyable, easy and stress free as possible. Julia is FANTASTIC!!! I couldn’t imagine my wedding day without her help and experience! This venue was truly beautiful and I got so many compliments on how unique it was! The bridal suite is to die for and made for a wonderful setting for my bridesmaids, moms and I! Thank you thank you thank you to Whitehall for hosting our wedding and making it as amazing!
This is the absolute best wedding venue! Julia, the event coordinator, is beyond amazing. She was very responsive, answered all our questions, ran a great rehearsal, and was truly amazing the day of the wedding! You can tell she really wanted to make sure that the day went perfectly! The venue itself is great! Both the ceremony space and reception hall were perfect for our wedding! We also used the new bridal suite which was a great place to get ready and hang out with our wedding party to start the day! We could not have asked for a better experience!
Whitehall was by far the best choice we could have made for our wedding!! They were the most accommodating, transparent, and helpful people we worked with! Everything with them was black and white. The prices were fair and clear. The venue itself was STUNNING!! They turned my vision into reality! If you are looking for an elegant and romantic venue, book with them!
There is no better wedding venue! Whitehall Columbia is the perfect setup, with beautiful white interiors, large ‘getting ready’ suites for both the bride and groom, an indoor chappel area, and outdoor lawn space for on-site ceremonies.
We were looking for a venue that allowed us the flexibility to choose where we wanted our ceremony, and Whitehall Columbia provided us with the outdoor ceremony option we wanted, but with the ability to move it indoors to the chapel in the event of rain.
They truly have set themselves up for success by becoming a full-service wedding venue. We were beyond impressed with their setup, staff, vendors, and amenities. With an on-site event planner and a NEW bridal studio upstairs available for hair and makeup, this venue is setting the bar high as a new industry standard for providing brides with a stress-free and complete wedding experience.
Harold and Julia were responsive, attentive, and highly knowledgeable. Their work speaks for itself and they did a great job of listening to what our vision was and going above and beyond to make every little detail perfect. The communication from beginning to end was timely and incredibly professional and they set and took down everything so that we did not have to lift a finger.
Our wedding day was absolute perfection and it was in large part in choosing Whitehall Columbia as our venue. With flawless attention to detail and going well above all expectations, Whitehall Columbia earns our highest recommendation!
Absolutely amazing, Harold and Julia are both such wonderful beautiful people and I’m pretty sure my husband and I thanked each of them no less than 30 times. The venue is gorgeous and the staff is amazing. This old school gets an A+
Whitehall was our first venue tour and we were sold immediately after. The team is super friendly and helpful. We were looking for a venue that would make our wedding as stress-free as possible. We worked with a venue-provided coordinator to plan our ceremony and reception. It was smooth sailing and allowed me to fully experience the day (rather than stress out about logistics). Initially we were concerned that the venue required specific food and DJ vendors, but these were top notch. We were also able to sample the food and chat with DJ before making our deposit to Whitehall, which was helpful. I can't stress enough how accommodating Whitehall was, and how much I enjoyed working with them. I couldn't imagine having our wedding at any other venue.
I cannot even begin to explain how amazing Whitehall was! We knew within 5 minutes of touring Whitehall that we loved it and wanted it to be our wedding venue. Harold had such a warm personality that really made us feel like he truly cared about our wedding day rather than just running a business. During the planning process, the venue was great about answering questions and following up with me. They set everything up and took everything down so that we did not have to lift a finger. I also can’t say enough great things about the day of coordinator, Julia. She is truly the sweetest person. She made sure everything was where it was supposed to be when it was supposed to be there. She made sure the entire day went perfect. We got so many compliments from guests about the venue and how much they loved it. Especially the stadium type seating! We truly believe that our wedding day would not have been as perfect as it was if we did it somewhere else and we are so unbelievably happy that we chose Whitehall as our venue because it really was our dream wedding. Harold and Julia made the entire thing happen and we are forever grateful! We would recommend this venue over and over again!
I had attended sessions elsewhere touring venues that were great but as soon as we walked into the doors of Whitehall Columbia the feeling of "this is it!" rushed over me and my partner. The whole process with getting things set up was wonderful after that. I loved the fact that they were clear about their costs up front. No "mystery math" and charges after the wedding for this or that. They are very uplifting and joyful it just brings so much good energy. I brought my own decor. I gave them the basic idea of how to set up everything and they made everything turn out better than I could have ever imagined. They were finishing more updates when we were married in April 2022. I couldn't have asked for a better venue to have our queer wedding at!
We had a cocktail style wedding at Whitehall on March 20th and the venue was perfect for our event! Julia Odle & Harold helped us achieve the vision we wanted for our day and allowed us to enjoy the process of planning. The space itself is beautiful. Would highly recommend this space to any bride.
Words cannot describe the love, detail, and general care that Whitehall Columbia gives to their clients. As an event planner myself, it’s hard to let go, but the moment I walked through the doors I had fun faith and trust that our wedding would truly be the best day ever. The team at Whitehall was so accommodating as we had to reschedule our wedding multiple times for COVID but once June 2021 rolled around they didn’t miss a beat and pulled off the most glamorous wedding of our dreams! They said wedding blues are real once it’s over and it’s true! Working with the Whitehall Columbia team, Driftwood Catering, Melinda’s Precious Petals, and Selective Sound was truly a joy and pleasure. Additionally, the value you receive for the price and only being 20 minutes form downtown is truly unbelievable! I can only hope I will be invited back as a guest in the future to relive it all over again, haha!
This venue is absolutely amazing and beautiful. I recommend this venue to anyone that wants a stress free wedding day! After seeing this venue and the amenities it provides including set up and tear down we couldn't even think about having our wedding anywhere else. We had a beautiful ceremony on their lawn followed by a great reception. Whitehall worked with us when we had to postpone our wedding date due to COVID-19 and was very understanding. Julia was fabulous to work with by answering any questions we had leading up to the day and was very easy to communicate with. On the day of the wedding Julia ensured that everything went smoothly and helped organize the bridal party throughout the ceremony and reception. We are so thankful that Whitehall gave us a stress free wedding day and made it perfect for us!!
When we first looked into Whitehall we fell in love right away for two reasons. 1. Their customer service and 2. Their outdoor ceremony area. Julia was incredibly helpful in helping us preparing the “little” details needed for our wedding weekend. However, come wedding day, there were a lot of details that weren’t as discussed and some parts of the decorating and cleaning up process felt rushed and unorganized. Example, our unity candle lighters weren’t placed out (we had given them two and they only used one which wasn’t even ours), the head table meal cards weren’t correct even after confirming with them that they knew about the correct order, just to name a few!
Overall, we rate Whitehall a 4 for our how easy they make the planning process (they set up a lot of the vendors for you), the beautiful ceremony set-up, and the amount of fun we had/flexibility they had on some of the items we wanted.
Whitehall Columbia is an amazing venue! Harold and Julia were amazing to work with! They are very efficient and handle everything, which made planning less stressful on us. During the reception, Harold and Julia were on top of everything. Julia checked in on my husband and I multiple times to see if we needed anything. The service at Whitehall is amazing! I am so happy my husband and I decided to get married there!!
This venue was awesome- Harold & Julia are professional, responsive, and attentive. I felt pampered, understood, and well-supported- no stress from this bride! They saw my vision better than I did, and decorated the venue beautifully. If you want a team that is dedicated to helping you have the best day, this is it. The venue is unique and gorgeous- we got compliments about how beautiful the night was overall. I will recommend Whitehall Columbia to anyone & everyone.
We had our cocktail reception at Whitehall Columbia in March 2021 and everything was wonderful! The experience from start to finish was perfect. The communication, flexibility, and organization of the staff alleviated much wedding planning stress. We had a vision, Whitehall walked us through how everything would look, and it turned out better than we could have imagined. They took care of all the set up, gift collection, and packed everything up neatly for us after our wedding. We cannot say enough about how much we loved this venue!
Harold is an EXCEPTIONAL event planner! We had an incredible coctail wedding with no stress-- just beauty and elegance. He got us excited about planning our special day even through the challenges of COVID. Every detail was perfect and our wedding memories are unforgettable at Whitehall.
What can I say Whitehall Columbia is the most beautiful venue in Ohio! Harold is the absolute best! He took every single ounce of my stress away! He was available at all hours of the day to answer my questions. With covid changing some of our plans we had to push or reception back a week before our wedding and Harold was so helpful and did t even question is. He actually supported our decision that made it so much easier. If you want your fairytale wedding have it at Whitehall Columbia!!!
This venue is beautiful and elegant, we got so many compliments. The required vendors (caterers and DJ) did excellent work.
Thanks to Harold my wedding was perfect! First, let me start off by saying that I am/was a Covid Bride. I had to move my wedding from a different venue because they were becoming so hard to work with due to Covid that I could no longer get married there. Harold made the switch so easy and effortless. He was so easy going and easy to work with. Anytime I ever had any anxieties about anything or questions, he was so calming and reassuring and helpful. We planned to have the ceremony outside but the week before my wedding the weather was pretty miserable. We were really unsure what the weather was going to do and not sure how to proceed on whether or not to have it inside or out. He let me make a DAY OF decision so I could wait to see what happened with the weather. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that. The weather ended up being perfect and beautiful and I just can't thank him enough for being so accommodating and understanding. The venue itself is gorgeous. I got so many compliments on how beautiful everything was. The food from Driftwood was amazing. It all was just so perfect. Thank you so much to Whitehall and Harold for making my wedding a dream!
I'm only sorry I couldn't give Whitehall more stars, 5 is not sufficient for the phenomenal service they provide. I was coordinating with them for over a year planning my wedding and actually booked with them before I got engaged because I fell in love after the first visit and they book so far in advance! Yes my boyfriend at the time, now my husband, was in agreement ;) I must have emailed them over 100 times for different things, and every time they responded promptly and were courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. I was one of those Type A control-freak brides and made multiple site visits to see how things would work, and they not only made my vision come to life, but went above and beyond and made it even better! Charles and Harold are amazing coordinators; they made me feel super comfortable and assured me that all my little details would be taken care of and they absolutely were. They really care about their clients and aren't just concerned with running a business. When COVID-19 happened they did everything they could to keep us informed, to accommodate where they could, and to advise us how to move forward when we were unsure. They're so friendly and kind you feel like you're talking to an old friend when you go for a visit. I'm so thrilled we took the risk and kept our original date because it worked out perfectly! Even with social distancing restrictions it was still the perfect day I had envisioned and it made it even more special the people that were there. Their venue is absolutely stunning and there are charming rustic chic details everywhere that set it above other venues I've seen. Everyone said what a beautiful wedding it was, and everything went so smooth that I wasn't aware of any issues at either the ceremony or reception. They are more expensive, but it is so worth it to have their all-inclusive service to take the stress off of you when wedding time actually comes. I could go on and on. Just book them, you won't be sorry!
Whitehall Columbia was absolutely the perfect venue! Harold and Charles were so helpful and made our day everything we wanted. I would text Charles on weekends and at weird hours and he would write me back instantly. Communication and excellent costumer service was very important to me as a bride and they exceeded my very high standards. The venue itself is beautiful and they know just how to add the perfect touches to it. I would highly recommend going with this venue!

Whitehall was wonderful! From the very first tour to our meetings throughout, and finally our ceremony/reception-everything was well planned and professionally handled. We had such a wonderful day and cannot thank Charles and Harold enough. Our family and friends still talk about the wedding and how much fun it was. The staff took care of us from start to finish and we did not have to stress about a thing. The hall itself is beautiful and well taken care of. Harold and Charles are there throughout the entire planning process to ease stress, worries, & make sure everything is executed beautifully! Would highly recommend this venue!
Whitehall is an absolutely stunning wedding venue and the staff are attentive, professional, and easy to work with. I am so glad I found Whitehall!
Where to begin....Charles, Harold and Shannon are absolutely the best to work with. They continually answer questions, literally make sure everything goes perfect. The Chapel was decorated gorgeous and took that task off of our hands and it was perfect! Just absolutely beautiful, professional and eased our minds with everything!
Harold and Charles had me at, "The bride shouldn't have to do anything on her wedding day other than show up." These guys had a great sales pitch and and even better follow-through. I could not have imagined our wedding without their skillful guidance. Beyond the great service, the venue is stunning. It's understated elegance at its finest.

Thanks Emma! You and Conor were a pleasure to work with and we can't say enough how we appreciate you trusting us with such an important day. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness. Congratulations!
We had our wedding at Whitehall Columbia and absolutely loved every minute of it. It was absolutely gorgeous, we got so many compliments on the venue, everyone especially appreciated how cool it was on the hottest day of the year:) We had to move our outdoor ceremony indoors because of the heat and Harold and Charles helped make it more beautiful than I could have wished for. Both Harold and Charles made our day run so smoothly. I had no worries at all, they made me feel so confident, I didn't worry about anything behind the scene. They both went above and beyond to make our day perfect. I highly recommend having your wedding at Whitehall Columbia!

From the simple elegance of the venue, to the amazing service, we couldn’t have been more happy with our choice to have our wedding here. Harold, Charles, and the rest of the staff were so accommodating and wonderful to work with! They took the stress out of planning for a wedding and it truly is a full service venue. We had so many compliments from our guests on what a beautiful venue it was! I highly recommend Whitehall Columbia!
I can’t even begin to explain how amazing everyone at Whitehall is. From the moment we walked in, we knew it was the place we wanted to say “I do”
Whitehall uses exclusive vendors and we could not have been more pleased with how everything went. Everything was organized and ran smoothly from start to finish.
I cant say enough good things about this venue!
AMAZING. Harold and Charles are simply amazing to work with. The venue was absolutely stunning and everything flowed effortlessly so that my husband and I could have a wonderful time at our wedding. They are so easy to work with and very willing to help and answer questions at any time. All of our guests could not get over how different but elegant the venue is. We heard a lot of comments about how 'this is how a wedding is supposed to be' - so thank you Harold and Charles for making us and all of our guest extremely happy!
Charles and Harold were the best vendors to work with. Not only were they extremely organized, they were kind and extremely accommodating. They made planning less stressful! The space itself was PERFECT and beautiful. I could not have asked for a better reception venue.

Beautiful, unique, and elegant reception venue! Guests continually mentioned how beautiful it was. Harold and other wait staff were extremely perceptive, attentive, and kind. I would recommend this venue to family and friends 110%. And the white venue makes any color combination for your wedding possible. Their package includes an assigned DJ group, catering company and (optional) florist, so they all commincate well and make planning a whole lot easier! Love love love Whitehall!

Hi Laura & Jonathan, It was our pleasure and honor to be part of your special day. You and your families were well prepared and delightful....and that makes our jobs look easy! We wish you two the very best....Congratulations!
I have not stopped getting compliments on this wedding venue. It is SERIOUSLY so gorgeous. It's all marble and white and dark woods and so elegant. You really don't need to provide a lot of decor. Not only is the venue absolutely gorgeous, Harold & Charles are amazing event managers. They made everything so easy. Harold set up all of my decor on the day of and helped me run my rehearsal. Then Saturday afternoon he was there the entire time we were at the venue and kept checking in on us - up until he got me down the aisle! He was amazing. Then Charles took over and closed our event. He was very helpful in packing up all of our decor and leftover items, and then helped my husband pick them up a week later when we got back from our honeymoon. I seriously cannot say enough amazing things about this venue...if you're looking for a memorable place to have your wedding, choose Whitehall.

Whitehall Columbia was EXCEPTIONAL! Charles and Harold made the process from beginning to the end an ease. They listened and made sure we got what we needed. Our day could not have gone any smoother. It was flawless. Our guests were impressed by the hall and the catering company. We send our gratitude to them for all they did. You will not regret having your wedding here!

Thank you, Krista! You and Brett were a pleasure to work with. We are fortunate to have couples like you that make our jobs look easy! Our best to you and your family for many years to come!
I cannot say enough positive things about Charles and Harold! They were beyond helpful through our whole wedding planning process. From the tour, to allowing us to drop decorations off early. Setting up timelines. And definitely make the day of worry free! The venue is beautiful and the people running it could not be more phenomenal and kind

Thank you Kimberly! Good planning by our couples makes our job easy. You and Bill were a pleasure to work with. The staff at Whitehall Columbia wish you two the very best. Congrats!
Charles and Harold are terrific!! Both did absolutely everything they could to make my wedding reception the best! They were more than helpful and always available to talk if needed! Additionally, the venue is so beautiful and needs minimal decorating. Customer service from Whitehall was impeccable; I highly recommend this place for your event!
When I first saw this venue on the knot, I wasn't sure what to expect. There were elegant and detailed pictures but not many of the actual venue. (Which lead me to wanting to see more) so my husband and I went and checked it out and IMMEDIATELY fell in LOVE with it. There are so many things/details to love about this venue. Harold and Charles were wonderful to work with and they really deliver and help out above and beyond. They were a pleasure. I also loved that they allowed us to do ceiling decor since that was important to me. The venue itself is so beautiful that not much else is needed unless you want to put a personal touch on it. I highly recommend this venue as you will not be disappointed. So beautiful and the staff is just amazing. Also Melinda the florist is right inside as well and she does such beautiful work. Book this venue before it gets booked up because I know it will! All our guests are still talking about how beautiful the reception was. Thank you Whitehall and Melinda for helping make our wedding AMAZING. We couldn't be happier.

Thank you Mellissa and Jim,....it was our pleasure to be a part of your big day! Congrats!
Words cannot describe how incredible of a night that Harold and Charles helped us to create at Whitehall for our reception. I showed up with a bunch of Rubbermaid totes full of decorations a few days before our wedding, and like magic, they transformed it into exactly what had been in my mind for the past year and a half. They made it look even better than I could have imagined, thanks to their talent and the beauty of Whitehall itself. They are your day-of coordinators, your sounding boards, and your friends. If we could, we would throw a party there monthly :) We highly, highly, highly recommend Whitehall.

THE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE!!! Whitehall Columbia is the perfect wedding venue - we had planned for an outdoor ceremony by their 200 year old oak tree, but the rain decided otherwise and Harold got the indoor chapel all ready that same day. Harold is wonderful and makes sure that everything is running smoothly for your big day. Harold takes his job seriously and has great calming and reassuring qualities, which is great when wedding planning. Charles runs the place for the reception and he did a fantastic job keeping track of all the gifts/cards, the catering service, and guest accommodations. There are great rooms for indoor pictures and places for both bridal parties to get ready. I loved using Whitehall Columbia as my venue and would recommend it to anyone in the area!

Thank you Kristen....it was our pleasure to be a part of your big day! Congrats!
Harold and Charles are wonderful. Great to work with and the venue is exquisite.
I cannot say enough positive things about this venue. First of all, it is absolutely gorgeous and elegant even before you put any decorations in it. The concierge services (Harold and Charles) was amazing and did everything in their power to make planning easier and the night go smoothly. The only downfall is that it is a little pricey and you don't get much included except setup/clean up/ and concierge service. Despite this, the beauty of the venue and service is worth every penny. I would recommend this venue to anyone!!
This venue was the perfect place for both our wedding ceremony and reception. Their team is professional and wonderful to work with. They made sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend this venue!
I can't imagine choosing a better venue. The Hall is gorgeous. The attached Chapel is simple yet elegant. The concierge services were attentive and comprehensive. Our wedding was beautiful and stress-free thanks to the fantastic staff at Whitehall. We would highly recommend!
I cannot say enough good things about Whitehall. Harold & Charles were so great to work with, gave great advice throughout the planning process and were accommodating all the way through the end of the event. The space is so unique and elegant while still extremely affordable. It was the perfect setting for our wedding of 150. My bridesmaids & I got dressed at the bridal suite which is stunning with a large mirror that made for some great pictures. We booked the outdoor space for our ceremony because of the gorgeous oak tree, but the rain forced us inside on our wedding day. That didn't even matter because the chapel is just as beautiful. The staff at Whitehall will even set up everything for you! It was a huge stress reliever to just drop off our centerpieces and decorations and feel confident that the staff would set it all up beautifully (which they did). I wouldn't change anything about the day and would recommend Whitehall to anyone!!
I could seriously write a novel about how wonderful this venue was. It's hard to put into a paragraph all of the great things about this venue and the owner, Harold. For starters, Harold is very quick to respond to emails, phone calls, and is very flexible in scheduling appointments. The venue is a 1930s era elementary school that Harold renovated into a stunning and elegant venue. They kept the charm of the old school (such as keeping some original doors) but made it very modern at the same time. The venue is kept in pristine condition all of the time. My husband and I got married in the fenced in outdoor space on the venue property underneath a beautiful 100 year old oak tree and the space looked amazing. Harold takes care of almost all of the set up and is really invested in making sure the bride and groom are completely satisfied with everything aspect of the day. We rented the space on a Saturday, but were able to set up on Thursday because there was no event scheduled for Friday prior to the wedding. This made the week go very smoothly and eliminated a lot of stress. Harold also was able to basically run the rehearsal and had great suggestions for improving the flow of the ceremony. I seriously can not say enough good things about Harold and the venue. It is so beautiful and the customer service is absolutely outstanding!
The hall is beautiful and unique; we received many compliments. They go above and beyond to help any way possible. Harold was a dream to work with and was easily my favorite vendor. We had a perfect experience working with him during planning, the reception, and afterwards. They did the entire setup before the reception and neatly packed up all of our glassware and other decor for us to pick up the Monday following our wedding.
This venue is amazing! Harold is an absolute DREAM to work with and always has everything under control! The space is amazing and formal, but fun! You can really make it what you want. Rustic, elegant, artsy, it's ready for your vision! It's budget friendly compared to a lot of locations and is DIY without completely "doing it yourself". Book Whitehall and you will not be disappointed!
Incredible experience! The atmosphere is so elegant will still remaining warm and cozy. Bridal party accommodations are wonderful and well appointed. Whitehall provides a gorgeous backdrop to allow your own tastes. In addition, Harold will help in any capacity to make the day spectacular. He lends tons of experience, knowledge and recommendations from everything from the set up, to the bar, to creature comforts. Harold is amazing. Flexibility, affordability and truly caring individual ~ thank you! The wedding and reception were on site making everyone's day easier. It was a beautiful day and everyone had so much fun. I highly recommend this venue. Loved every moment ~ Nancy Mother of the Bride
We absolutely loved having our wedding at Whitehall. It is so charming and elegant. Harold, the concierge, could not have been more helpful. I would recommend this venue to anyone!!!
This elegant venue is breathtaking. The best part is the owner. He works hand and hand with you the entire way. When I booked, the venue wasn't completely finished but I knew what look the owner was going for... Simply elegant. I had my own bridal suite to get ready and relax in. The groomsmen relaxed in the stateroom. I had a perfect wedding because of this venue!!! Worth every penny!
