    Couple - booked emerald room

    The entire Makoy staff was excellent to work with! From the initial meeting, tasting, decor and final meeting everything ran smoothly. Staff was very responsive and sent reminders on upcoming payments which was very helpful. The food was great! They made sure day off ran smoothly and were very accommodating! I would definitely recommend them for any future event. I worked closely with Matt and Clay. Both were very great and they made it their priority to ensure our day was everything we envisioned!

    Best Wedding Venue EVER

    Absolutely the best staff I could have worked with! Through the planning process, day-before, and day-of I could not have had a more cooperative venue. I was planning my wedding from four states away, but they were helpful in scheduling meetings around my travel schedule. All I had to do was show up for the wedding, as I knew they were taking care of everything else.

    And, THE FOOD!!! Hands down the best wedding food I have ever tasted, and I wasn't even planning on eating! Even a week after the wedding, I am still getting compliments on the venue, the staff, the bar, and the FOOD! Did I mention the FOOD??

    COVID or not, The Makoy Center is without a doubt the best wedding venue I could have imagined, and they made my day truly unforgettable!!

    Absolutely amazing

    The Makoy Center staff went above and beyond to make sure our wedding and reception were everything we had always dreamed of. Clay and Matt and Erin are literal godsends with everything they helped us with. With Covid changing our plans (sometimes at the last minute) they were endlessly flexible and allowed us to move things around and made sure we were always taken care of. Our guests spent the morning after the reception raving about the food and how wonderful the event was. You will not go wrong choosing them!

    Amazing team!

    I wanted a venue that took care of everything so I could enjoy my daughter’s wedding and the Makoy center did not disappoint! From the first time we met with Matt a year ago to plan the event I felt fully confident in my daughter’s decision choosing them.
    You have the ability to have a outdoor or indoor wedding if needed, there was what I called a “mock reception” where you come and taste test the food they offer which was ALL AMAZING! Matt is always available for questions and meets with you again close to the wedding to make sure everything is in place. They are SO ORGAINZED that there is no way you could forget a thing! The day of the wedding Clay met us at the door with carts to help unload everything you brought to add to the occasion. With his checklist in hand he goes over what you have and listens to what you want to do with it with suggestions himself that may I add is the way to go because he made the room look absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Now that it’s all over I am kind of sad that I won’t need to communicate anymore with them, ha, ha Everyone at the Makoy Center was extremely professional, helpful and friendly and gave my daughter a night to remember!

    Fantastic wedding

    The Makoy Center was wonderful. They anticipated my every need and took care of it with a smile and a can do attitude. The food was wonderful and the DJ got people dancing. I heard over and over again from my guests that this was the best wedding they had been to.

    The Makoy Center was an absolute joy to work with! The staff is very professional and fun to work with at the same time. They go over everything in great detail to really fine tune what you want for your day. They make the process as smooth as possible. The venue was beautiful, and it's nice they set up everything so you can enjoy your big day. I would definitely recommend anyone to have their wedding here. 10/10 across the board!

    Friendly, affordable, accommodating

    The Makoy center is an affordable one stop shop for almost all of your wedding planning needs: ceremony details and supplies, lighting, catering, linens, decorations, and plenty of support! The over accommodating staff works hard make each unique detail of your BIG day a reality! They made our wedding planning stress free and went above and beyond to make us feel extra special on our day! We are still receiving lots of compliments from our guests raving about the food and the beautiful venue atmosphere.

    Responsive and friendly staff, delicious food, great price. We, along with our guests, really enjoyed our wedding reception in the Burgundy Room in May 2021.

    Bride & Groom

    Where do I start. WOW!! I cannot rave enough about The Makoy Center. Clay, Matt and my wedding coordinator Jacob were all just amazing. My wedding turned out beautiful. They all made sure things were right, that I was doing ok, and we were always on schedule. I was fortunate to have a pretty big wedding g after things had been lifted here in Ohio. ALL my guests spoke about how delicious the food was, how beautiful the venue was, and the room we were in the biggest room, Emerald made everyone feel comfortable because we were not crowded. I will definitely recommend this venue to anyone. Food, pricing and accommodations cannot top any other venue in Central Ohio. Clay, Matt and Jake thanks again for taking care of us.

    The Perfect Wedding Venue

    My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Makoy Center on May 25, 2019 and it could not have been any more perfect! We had the pleasure to work with Matt who made the entire process so easy and smooth. From small reminders and working with our schedule since we were planning from out of state, to being there the day of to make sure everything was taken care of! My husband and I, our families and our friends had a great time and we would highly recommend the Makoy center for couples who are looking to celebrate their marriage or any other event to get everything they imagined and more for a great price! Thank you again Matt, we will be sending newly engaged couples your way!

    Halloween wedding

    We could not have asked for a better place to have a wedding! Matt was extremely welcoming and responded to emails quickly! It's an elegant venue that was more than willing to accommodate and even improve on our quirky style. The staff even dressed up in Halloween costumes along with the guests. I have extreme anxiety and they took care of EVERYTHING. My officiant even said how great of a place it was. Major shout out to Stephanie, our event coordinator. Felt like i had known her for years. She made our day as perfect as could be, made sure groom didnt see bride before ceremony, relayed messages, took care of rehearsal, even had ALL 15 complicated center pieces packaged up and ready to go by the end of the night. I HIGHLY recommend her. She was just as excited about the day as we were and i seriously cant thank everyone involved enough for a great day

    Amazing and perfect

    Great place to have large gatherings. We had our reception here and it was perfect, food was amazing and they have many options to choose from. They help you every step of the way and pricing is very fair. Followed all COVID rules and guidelines. Place was super clean and staff was very friendly. If you have questions call them and talk to Matt.

    Very Highly Recommend

    We had a great experience at The Makoy center. They helped us to have everything exactly how we wanted it. Our guests raved about the food and it was nice to already have a bartender with a stocked bar at the venue. Not only did they provide the venue, food, and drink, they also helped with set up and tear down, and we had a day of the wedding coordinator to help everything flow smoothly. I highly recommend

    Best venue ever

    The venue itself is beautiful but it’s everything else that made this experience perfect. Matt and the rest of the team were super helpful and accommodating even up till the day before the wedding with last minute changes. The real surprise came the night of the rehearsal when we met Jacob. We had no idea anyone would actually help us coordinate the wedding itself, let alone setup all the decorations we brought ourselves. 10/10 we love the Makoy Center and their staff!

    A Night to Remember

    Our family has now held two receptions at this venue. There really aren't adequate words to convey our gratitude with how outstanding the staff treated us and how perfect the evening was for our daughter and new son in law. Postponing and rescheduling a wedding was our worst nightmare. Thankfully, the staff here went Above and Beyond in accomodating all our requests, were always accessible, and made sure ALL CDC Guidelines were fully implemented.
    The food was over the top, and guests went up for seconds and thirds. Kudos to the chef, and also the kind and cheerful bar staff who kept the drinks flowing and everyone in good spirits. As guests said their goodbyes they had only the highest praise for the friendly staff and the way they interacted with our family and friends.
    Never once, in all that went with having to go with the flow during Covid-19, was I treated with anything other than support, understanding, and a willingness to accommodate us by this staff.
    I can't imagine a more beautiful venue or outstanding people to work with anywhere else in Central Ohio.

    Thank you, Matt, Clay, and Erin for giving us the best night we could have dreamed of. You exceeded every expectation.
