Absolutely Perfect!

We had our December 2021 wedding ceremony and reception in the Palm House with our cocktail hour in the Veridian. It was absolutely spectacular and beautiful. We couldn’t have picked a better venue for a winter wedding, allowing our tropical dreams to come together with holiday festivity. The coordination team was fantastic, and we can’t thank Allyson enough for making sure that our day was perfect from start to finish! She helped us along every step of the way to make sure that every detail was covered. There is no better venue or team out there!

Absolutely beautiful location at an affordable price

We had our ceremony in the Wolfe Terrace and reception in the Palm House. Our coordinator through FPC was Sarah. She was fantastic, upbeat and made sure our wedding and rehearsal flowed at a great pace. She was involved when necessary and behind the scenes the rest of the time communicating with our team of vendors. Her communication and organization leading up to the wedding was perfect and she was open to helping make all our wishes come true, or find replacements, even when COVID caused Columbus to implement a mask mandate again just a few weeks before our date. We would recommend them to anyone!
