Amazing!

Our wedding was everything I could have dreamed of. I can’t thank Amber, Vanessa, and heidi enough. They helped me through everything, they were so supportive, and they are just amazing people in general. Special thanks to Vanessa for being there for me on the day, she is truly an incredible woman and I can’t wait to have events there in the future with her. Everything turned out beautiful, I still have people RAVING about the food. Thank you so much to everyone at Columbia Ballroom for making my day so special. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Everything was truly incredible.

Highly Recommend

We had the most incredible experience at Columbia Ballroom! From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to make everything absolutely perfect. The venue itself is stunning — spacious, elegant, and full of charm — but what really makes it stand out is the team behind it.

Every staff member we interacted with was kind, professional, and attentive. They anticipated needs before we even had to ask and treated us like family. Their organization and attention to detail made the whole process smooth and stress-free, which allowed us to just relax and truly enjoy our event.

So many of our guests complimented not only the beauty of the ballroom but also how seamless and well-run everything felt. It’s rare to find a place that combines breathtaking atmosphere with such genuine, dedicated service.

If you’re looking for a venue where the people care just as much as you do about making your event special, Columbia Ballroom is the place. We can’t thank the staff enough for helping create memories that will last a lifetime!

Always a great experience!

I'm a professional wedding officiant and I've officiated weddings at least a half dozen times at Columbia Ballroom and it's always been a positive experience. The way the horses always seem to make their way to the ceremony area right when it's starting so they create the perfect backdrop for a wedding. I've never had the opportunity to stay for a reception, however. Last night I got to attend a wedding professional networking event at Columbia Ballroom. As I sit here eating the leftover pizza from last night for breakfast (DELICIOUS!!!), I really have to give a shout out to the fantastic venue staff. The bartender was slinging drinks promptly and the pizza is absolutely perfect. The space is rustic but elegant. I love the history behind the building and the personal connection the owners have. Columbia Ballroom continues to have a great reputation among local wedding professionals and I highly recommend booking a venue tour!

Wedding Reception

My husband and I recently got married, and had our reception at Columbia Ballroom. The day was absolutely perfect.

We worked with Amber for the entire planning of our reception and she was simply a joy. She was very prompt and attentive with responding to any questions I had and made sure everything was taken care of the day of the wedding. I did not have to worry about a thing and was able to enjoy every moment.

The food was phenomenal and our guests raved about the chicken and Mac and cheese ..yum!

I can’t thank Amber and the staff at Columbia Ballroom enough for making our wedding dreams come true.

If you’re searching for a wedding venue I HIGHLY recommend Columbia Ballroom. You won’t be disappointed. 😊💍

10/07/2023- Rachel and Justin Dombard

What a beautiful day 10/07/23 was and it was given to us by Columbia Ballroom. Vannessa was amazing from meeting her on Thursday for rehearsal to her being one of our rockstars on Saturday. We were able to have the ceremony outside (thank you weather) ad during rehearsal we saw the indoor ceremony set up for our Friday wedding friends and if you are in between you cannot go wrong with either indoor or outdoor. The food was delicious and we received many compliments from friends and family- we went buffet style and would recommend. 10/10 would recommend this venue and their coordinators.
