Desi at NHCC is the BEST!

We were impressed with NHCC and booked our wedding for the North Pointe Ballroom. We had worked with one planner and that person left the company. We were transitioned to Desi as our planner and we were nervous about a new planner. Desi went out of her way to assure us that everything would be great, scheduled calls, and met with us. On our wedding day, Desi was beyond incredible and did so much more than we could have ever imagined! From set up, to talking to vendors, to keeping the wedding party organized, she did so much work. As the groom we probably spoke every 20 minutes that day making sure everything was perfect. We had a few hiccups with guest not coming or coming without Rsvping which complicated our plated meals and assigned seating. Desi told me about it and we got it taken care of right away and the party didn't miss a beat! Without Desi, our wedding would not have been the dream that it was!
All of the rest of the staff at NHCC was great as well. From Brittany helping us in the beginning and during our planner transition, hotel staff, bartenders, set up, everyone was great. The property was beautiful, for our fall wedding and a summer wedding that we attended. The food was great. Bar on site to go to after the wedding. Nice rooms for you and guests to stay in. We could not recommend this place enough. And make sure you ask for Desi!! She was so thorough, so detail oriented, so focused on making our day perfect. And she did, and we will be forever grateful for that!

Great reception venue!

As a planner, I had a great experience coordinating my client's wedding at the Ohioan. Communication with Ben, our contact at the venue, was smooth and responses were prompt, and he was very helpful with some special timeline considerations that resulted from the flow of the couple's wedding day. On the day, the event itself ran smoothly from setup to teardown, the food was great, and the whole facility and catering team was very helpful. Grateful for the opportunity to work at the Ohioan and hoping for more opportunities to do so in the future!

Amazing location, great service!

My husband and I got married in the Edgewater space at Nationwide Hotel and it was an absolute dream. The location was perfect for our guests and kept everything in one space. The food was perfect, multiple guests said it was the best steak they’d ever had! The team at Nationwide made sure everything was planned and perfect for our day. I would recommend to anyone who doesn’t want to have to worry about the little details at the end of the day.

November Wedding

Getting to have our wedding at nationwide hotel and conference center was honestly a dream! The location is beautiful, the amenities are wonderful, and the staff really helps to generate a flawless experience! My husband and I just got married there in November and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day ❤️ getting to work with Desi made the experience that much more enjoyable. She was attentive to detail, there for not only us but our family/guests every step of the way, and just all around a wonderful person to work with! Our special day would not have been the same without her! Thank you for helping make our dream day come true!

Perfect wedding in the Grand Ballroom at Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center!

Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center was the absolute BEST venue to have our wedding. We could not have asked for anything more. Having the hotel right on site made it so easy for our out of town guests to stay in. The Pub onsite was so much fun for our after party! We had our ceremony and reception in the Grand Ballroom which was so romantic and elegant and just perfect. We had around 155 guests and the room was the perfect size. The food was excellent and we had so many compliments from our guests! Kristen was our event coordinator and she was incredible! I didn't worry about a thing the day of because she had it covered! Communication with her was amazing leading up to the wedding, any questions I had she answered. I can't say enough good things about this venue and staff! Highly recommend

Best all inclusive venue in columbus!

Planning a wedding around Covid-19 was not easy, but Brittany and the event staff did an excellent job with our wedding October 2nd 2020. We felt like absolute royalty and our guests felt very comfortable with all of the precautions taken by Nationwide to keep everyone safe and healthy. Beautiful venue, kind and gracious staff, amazing food, and an event planner who went above and beyond at every step.

Outstanding venue

Nationwide was the perfect place for our special day! Brittany was our coordinator and was very timely in responses answering all of our questions (& my mother in law had ALOT!) We had both ceremony and reception here which was perfect for our guests not traveling between events. Every guest we talked to said the food was incredible! & The campus is beautiful for pictures!

So thankful for nationwide!

During the pandemic we heard HORROR stories of other vendors and venues. Nationwide (Jaime and Brittany) were wonderful to work with. I can’t believe how beautiful and perfect our day was. They handled the pandemic like champs and made us feel as safe as possible. They allowed us full access to the patios for us to spread out and enjoy the beautiful weather. We also loved bow ceremony/reception/hotel was all on the same grounds!

10/10 Best Wedding Venue!

We cannot recommend the staff at Nationwide Hotel & Conference Center enough. They are exactly who you want for help planning your wedding. We worked the most with Brittany, who was super friendly, and seems a like a friend of mine now after working with us throughout our two year engagement for planning our wedding. She was patient in answering all our questions (we had a LOT) and organized in planning for us. She even provided dates the ballroom was having weddings and allowed us to pop in before the wedding started so we could see how they decorated. Our wedding turned out to be scheduled for during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, and Brittany and Jaime were SO prompt in helping us reschedule - we were able to find a new date that worked for everyone in only a few hours due to their responsiveness. They even adjusted some terms of our contract to be more flexible due to the pandemic. We cannot recommend Nationwide HCC enough and I will keep it in mind for future events!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

This is one of my favorite Columbus venues! The facility is beautiful and constantly being renovated and refreshed. The staff will bend over backward for any of their couples. The food is the best in the city. As if all that wasn't enough, the hotel has a bar on site for late-night celebrations and it's all in one location to ensure your guest are safe and everything is convenient. I can't say enough fantastic things about this venue!
