Amazing and Beautiful Venue

We picked Retreat 21 when it was still under construction. I was so excited to have a clean, new, and modern venue. We honestly did not have to decorate much as the place is so beautiful as is. The slightest touches made our vision come to life. It was amazing to have the option to stay on site. The cabins where everything we need and more! Of course it reduced any wedding stress knowing the whole event is in on place. Michaela was there from the start and I cannot say enough about her❤️ She is SO friendly and easy to work with. The day was amazing and went so smoothly. Oh, and you HAVE to choose the in house catering. So delicious!

11/10 Venue

As a wedding planner local to Columbus, Retreat 21 is one of our top favorites! They truly thought of everything – with all the little touches that make an event flow efficiently. The team goes above beyond for their clients and vendor partners. We have done summer, fall, and winter weddings at Retreat 21 and all have been wonderful regardless of the season. We look forward to working there again soon and highly recommend this venue!!

I am a wedding professional, and I am always thankful when I know my couples are being taken care of, in all ways. Liz, Carl, Michaela and the team at Retreat 21 are professional AND personal, and really go above and beyond to make your day a dream experience.
HIGHLY recommend!
