Weekend Schedule

Did you know that Mackenzie went to the first ever Wendy's in downtown Columbus?! Or that the Limited Franchise (think Bath & Body Works, Victoria Secret) started in Columbus? Abercrombie HQ anyone? Anyways, safe to say Columbus is a great hub and welcoming place. If you are flying into CMH, it's truly only a 12 minute Uber to downtown! If you have any questions about accommodations, please do not forget that you have a wonderful tour guide in Mackenzie. Don't hesitate reaching out with any and all questions!

--- Hotel Blocks---

We have four options for our guests to choose from with special rates :)

The Junto is a gorgeous, independent boutique hotel located in the Franklinton neighborhood in Columbus. This will be the wedding party's hotel. It is a quick 6 minute walk from The Junto to our venue, Strongwater. Unfortunately, we no longer have any rooms remaining on our wedding block with our contracted rate. The Junto has very limited availability for our weekend, so you will need to book at their best available rate online if you would like to stay here. It is a bit pricey, but there is plenty of availability at our other hotels at much lower rates! Our apologies.

The Junto

The Hilton is located in Downtown Columbus and is a quick 5 minute drive to our venue, Strongwater. Booking cutoff date: 04/12/2025

Hilton Columbus Downtown

The Hyatt Regency, right next door to the Hilton, is also located in Downtown Columbus and is a 5 minute drive to our venue.

Hyatt Regency Columbus

The Aloft is a Marriott hotel located in the Grandview neighborhood of Columbus. It is a 7-10 minute drive to our venue. The room rate is good for the whole week if you want to make a 1-week adventure in Columbus out of it (lol). Book directly with the link below - note it works best with Microsoft Edge.

Aloft Columbus University District

---Airbnbs---

If you are looking to book an Airbnb for the weekend, we highly recommend these neighborhoods in Columbus:

German Village

Short North

Brewery District
