The most amazing wedding reception venue!

We absolutely loved having our wedding reception at the Lightwell at North by Hotel Covington. The staff from start to finish made the whole entire planning process very easy! Shelby helped us book the perfect package for our needs, Riley helped us plan our details so well from menu to napkins and everything in between, Jarrett helped with day of set up and execution perfectly, and Tracy and the banquet staff were incredible!

We would highly recommend Hotel Covington - the all inclusive package makes the wedding planning process so much easier, and everyone we worked with was incredibly professional, responsive, and helpful. The food was delicious and some of our guests said it’s the best wedding food they have had! Not to mention that the Lightwell itself is such a beautiful venue - the lights above the dance floor alone are a showstopper! The Lightwell is perfect for many different sized weddings - we had 225 guests and it didn’t feel too crowded or too empty - it was ideal! Since we had many out of town guests, it worked out so well that our room block at Hotel Covington allowed them to just head upstairs at the end of the night.

My husband and I both had beautiful suites in the North by Hotel Covington side for getting ready in the morning, and the rooms were absolutely perfect for getting ready with our bridal party/bigger groupss! The Hotel Staff were all so helpful and accommodating and we couldn’t be happier that we chose the Lightwell at North Hotel Covington for our wedding reception.

Thank you to Shelby, Riley, Jarrett, Tracy and everyone else who helped us have the most perfect night!

Highly recommended Hotel Covington

Hotel Covington was phenomenal! We were so happy with our wedding experience. They were so responsive, flexible, and helpful, especially Cheyenne who took care of everything for our wedding. I can express how easy they made everything leading up to the wedding and even more so on the wedding day. The staff was incredible specifically Patty and Jason who went over and above to help make our day perfect. Hotel Covington is perfect for outdoor weddings because it’s already beautiful so minimal extra decor is need! My husband and I highly recommend Hotel Covington!

June Wedding at The Lightwell

We had our wedding reception in the Lightwell by Hotel Covington North and absolutely loved it. The room itself is stunning with the beautiful bar, the glass ceiling above the large dance floor, and the pool details throughout. We had 250 guests and everyone fit comfortably in the room with enough space for a live band and the buffet. The buffet dinner was fantastic and all of our guests raved about the food saying that it was some of the best “wedding food” they ever had! The bartenders and staff were great all night and they even helped clean up our decorations at the end of the night. Our guests enjoyed the discounted rate rooms and jumped on the opportunity to stay the night at Hotel Covington! We worked with Riley on all of our wedding details and she was amazing to work with! She answered our millions of questions and was accommodating to our requests to ensure that our day was super special. We would definitely recommend Hotel Covington for your wedding venue!

Highly recommend The Madison & Hotel Covington!

The Madison Event Center was the perfect venue for our Wedding Day! From start to finish, The Madison team took such great care of all our needs and made us feel so special. The planning process was very easy and stress free because they offer an all-inclusive package and handle everything on site, so we didn’t have to do much. We enjoyed working with the Details Specialist, Riley. She made sure no detail was missed while offering great advice too! It was nice having Hotel Covington next door, we took advantage of the Wedding Room Block offerings, Suites to get ready in on the day of, and we even hosted our Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Reception at the Hotel! Our family and friends loved the convenience of it all! When it came to the night of our Wedding, everything was truly perfect! The Madison provides a Banquet Captain to take care of everything throughout the night, our Captain went above and beyond our expectations. We have such beautiful memories to carry with us and are beyond thankful for The Madison & Hotel Covington bringing our dream Wedding to life!

Perfect Rehearsal Dinner Spot

We had our rehearsal dinner in June in the Scheper Dining Room. Throughout the entire process, the communication and timeliness of your responses were impeccable. We always felt informed, supported, and valued, which significantly contributed to the smooth and stress-free planning of our rehearsal dinner. Your team's professionalism shone through in every interaction, creating a sense of confidence and trust that was incredibly reassuring during the lead-up to our special day.

On the night of our rehearsal dinner, the exceptional service and genuine joy your team displayed made the evening truly memorable. The attention to detail, the seamless execution, and the warm smiles of your staff added a special touch that did not go unnoticed. We felt taken care of and could genuinely sense the passion your team has for creating memorable experiences.

A special note of gratitude goes to Cheyenne, our main planner, who played a pivotal role in ensuring every detail was thoughtfully considered and flawlessly executed. Cheyenne's professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm for her work made a significant impact on the success of our rehearsal dinner. We are truly grateful for her dedication and the personal touch she brought to the planning process.

The Most Magical Wedding Day we could have ever hoped for!

Everything from, planning meetings, tastings, set up, staffing, and breakdown was absolute perfection. I truly couldn't be more grateful for the team at Hotel Covington. Our wedding day was pure magic and it was in large part due to the seamlessness of our reception and the attentiveness of the staff. Wish I could relive this day over and over again!

Beautiful venue with amazing staff! Highly recommend!!

We just had our wedding last week and I can not recommend HC enough! We had so many of our guests come up and say how convenient it was to have hotel, ceremony and reception at the same spot. Riley is fantastic to work with and super helpful during stressful days. Everyone from bartenders, staff, managment to front desk- top notch. Highly recommend!! Venue is beautiful and so many awesome spots to walk to!

Such a great experience!!

Working with Hotel Covington and the Madison was a great choice for us. Really allowed us to have our dream wedding at the spot of our 1st date. Riley was wonderful to work with, helped us plan every step of the big day(s). Then Zack and the entire Hotel, Bar, and Restaurant staff knocked it out of park.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
