Graystone Wine Cellar, located in Columbus, Ohio, is one of the city's premier small wedding and event venues. This historic banquet hall offers exquisite catering services and a storied atmosphere. It's ideal for couples who are looking for a great sense of hospitality and hope to create a non-traditional experience for their loved ones.

History

Perfect location for weddings and rehearsal dinners.

We couldn't be happier with how our rehearsal dinner turned out. Brian and his team did such an outstanding job and were so easy to work with. This place is a hidden gem.

Absolutely wonderful!

My husband and I held our 20 year anniversary party with vow renewal at this venue. Everything was wonderful from beginning to end. The wine cellar has so much character, the stonework is amazing! Brian assisted us throughout the entire process and went above and beyond to make our experience just as we wanted. And the dinner was amazing! We had the lasagna bar and chose 5 appetizers. I would absolutely recommend this venue, we are completely satisfied with the services received!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
