The ACC was one of the best wedding decisions we made. The staff was incredible and catered to all of our needs without hesitation, which is exactly what you need on your wedding day. We worked primarily with Kristin, who was extremely attentive and did a wonderful job planning every detail of our reception to a tee. The venue itself is probably one of the most beautiful in town and provides a very rich, sophisticated and old-glamour feel, which was exactly what we were going for. The food was incredible and everyone really seemed to enjoy the spirits! Thanks ACC!

Extremely pleased with venue, food, service, and planning. We were very particular in our requests and everything was executed seamlessly. Kristin, Kelly, and Rob were all fantastic to work with!

We were planning our wedding from out of town and only met with Kelly and Kristin a few times before the wedding. Everything was great from our initial meeting thru the last dance of the evening. The whole staff was great to work with. We chose the Athletic Club for a number of reasons, the ballrooms on the second floor are beautiful and fit us, we wanted to have the ceremony and reception in the same location, we wanted the venue to also provide the food as to not bring on too many vendors and ease of location for out of town guests. . . . it fit the bill on all accounts. Kelly was great with making recommendations for the flow of the evening and worked with the band (Conspiracy) to make sure we weren't missing anything. And, our guests are still raving about the food. I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Best day of my life - all because of the wonderful staff at the Athletic Club! We worked exclusively with Kristin and she was awesome!! She thought of everything and made sure every detail was perfect. She works with all your vendors regarding set up so the stress is off the bride and groom. We met with her the Thursday before the wedding and I felt so relieved after our meeting because she covered everything. The day of the wedding the groomsmen were starving after pictures (our ceremony didn't start until 6pm). My husband asked Kristin if we could get a plate of appetizers while we waited for the ceremony - she was right on it and had it to us in no time!
The decor of the club was so beautiful!! It took my breath away to see the reception set up. I cannot begin to explain how many guests commented on how beautiful the club is. We also received endless compliments on the food - everyone we talked to said it was the best steak they'd ever had! All of the serving staff were so great - professional, very friendly and sincere. There are so many amazing food and decor options to choose from when you're planning. We are SO happy we chose ACC for our wedding!! Thanks ACC team!!

Every single thing about our wedding at the Athletic Club of Columbus was perfect. The ballroom is beautiful, and it is so elegant that it would be a shame to add much in the way of decorations--just a few flowers to personalize it and it was perfect. The staff coordinated everything with all of our vendors, leaving us to enjoy the event and not fret over the details. The food was delicious and served in a timely manner, the bar service was seamless and everything went as planned.
All of that said, I have to add that the event coordinator, Kristin, is worth her weight in gold. At times we were incredibly disorganized, and she never once got rattled. In fact, she continued to smile (without being condescending!) through the most hectic of times. She is absolutely perfect, and somebody I would love to continue to hang out with!
I could not recommend a venue more highly than the Athletic Club of Columbus. When we left, I started scheming to have other events there because it is just that wonderful.

Old-world style, beautiful facilities, and a great staff. They made my wedding and champagne brunch an absolute perfect event for me and my family.

I held my rehearsal dinner here in their grand ballroom (the gorgeous one with the crystal chandeliers) and my fiance and I were astounded by their attention to detail, friendliness and the quality of their food and alcohol. Our rehearsal dinner was on a Friday night and we had several outside vendors setting up that evening-florists, live entertainment and pastry chef. The Athletic Club was so gracious and helpful. Kristen was a gem to work with and she made everything easy for me! I live an hour and a half drive away, and when I called her with questions, she called right back.
We could not have been more pleased with the entire experience! If we had seen this venue before and realized the things we know now, we would have held our 200+ person wedding here!

The Athletic Club was the perfect place for our wedding! Kristin and Kelly were beyond accommodating throughout the entire planning process and even the evening of the event (Kristin bustled my dress for me when we arrived to the club!). My mind was totally at ease, and I never felt like I had to worry about a thing.

The venue is absolutely breathtaking, so you don't need to worry about spending a lot on decor, either. Our guests had an amazing evening and felt very well-taken care of throughout the entire night. We have received so many compliments on the wedding- largely due to the venue, service, food, etc.

It's also extremely convenient, as it's located in the heart of downtown and is very close to several hotels, so all of our guests were within walking distance to their hotels. They even have a few hotel rooms at the Athletic Club, which was very nice for our grandparents, as they could just head upstairs when they got tired.

So glad we chose the ACC for our wedding day- I couldn't have been more pleased with how everything turned out. You definitely would not be able to go anywhere else in Columbus and receive the same experience for the money you would have to spend. Highly recommend!

July 2, 2011 was our daughter's magnificent wedding. This venue drips with elegance and class. We had hors d' passed with a signature drink. The service was unsurpassed. The food was absolutely delicious and full portion sized. Having our guests served was the best. Our waiters were courteous and efficient. The decor of the room is grand with chandoliers and gold chairbacks. The 3 bay windows gave way to the wedding cake and candy display, leaving one empty for pictures. They treated us like the royal family !! It was the most beautiful wedding i had ever been to, and so many guests commented in the same manner. BRAVO Athletic Club.

This is a beautiful venue with an excellent staff committed to making your day exactly what you want it to be. I had my ceremony and reception there and I couldn't say enough how wonderful they were. For weeks afterwards I've been receiving comments about how beautiful the venue is, how good the staff were, and how delicious the food was (best wedding food I've ever tasted!). I highly recommend the Athletic Club of Columbus!

We couldn't have chosen a better, more beautiful location for our reception! The staff was so helpful in coordinating everything and it went incredibly smoothly! We had the time of our lives!

The Columbus Athletic Club, WOW!!!! This place is phenomenon!!!! We had the best time in the world at our reception. They were so east to work with and allowed us to do what ever we wanted with the decorations, music, etc... Let me see where should I start. We decided to have a downtown wedding in the summer of 2007 when we got engaged. I called about 18 places just looking for the perfect place to accommodate about 200 guest. We went and visited place were available and they were just not the right palce, either they were way to overpriced or just didnt really meet our expectations in the way the looked or acted towards us. Well I thought that we were out luck on having a downtown reception when I stumbled on to their wedding site. It said that they held wedding there so I gave them a call. A week later we were at their door step in the middle of downtown (next to the big chase building) walking in the front door. We were greeted by the host and was told that Sarah would be right down to speak with us. They allowed us to look around the main floor while we waited and I was astonished, it was so stirking. The ceiling were painted and very detailed with art and beauty, there was an upscale restuarant, a leisure restuarant, a barber shop, library, a large winding staircase with slanted pieces of mirror going up it, etc.... I cant tell you how this placed looked you will really have to go check it out yourself or visit the website. Anyway, we talked to Sarah about the building found out it had been there a really long time and it was a members only club. At this point I though that we would not going to be a able to afford the place, just because how wonderful it sounded. Then we went and looked at the banquet hall, WOW again. It had two different type of rooms that fit together to make one big "L" shaped room. One side was all wood, wood floors, wood fireplace, wood walls, etc... (Not cheap wood, amazing wood) and the other side was more elegant in stlye, with wall paper and gold outward half circle that went towards the outside. Both of these two rooms had gorgeous chandeliers and ceiling with real gold chippings on it. It was astonishing, just amazing. Then we went over everything else which included the pricelist. We tookd it home and decided that it was going to be affordable. They had over 20 different dishes that you could choos from, 10 different appetizers, desserts, etc.... We booked and had great contacts with our person who put our wedding together Kristen May. They have lots of options on the way the table will be set up, they offer free center pieces including a square mirror for the middle of the table with little candles, free black/white/combo of the linens (top, bottom and napkins), different types of dishes that you can use, one sat being gold, you dont have to rent chair covers because the chairs are not ordinary chiars, privacy from the rest of the club and best of all a bowling alley in the basement for only $100 extra to rent until midnight after the reception.

The reception itself included six hours of fun for a cost of $1,000 to rent the room and then you have to spend a minimum of $10,000 including the $1,000 deposit. Our wedding reception started at 3pm, lasted till 9pm and went bowling to the basement till midnight. This was the bes reception that I have ever been to and it was all possible because of the great service, food, and entertainment that this vender offered us.

P.S. The grand total of the reception, for 200 guest was approximately $12,000.
