Beautiful ballroom

The Athletic Club of Columbus was a perfect venue for our wedding. The ballroom is stunning and does not need any extra decorations. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. The bowling alley in the basement was the perfect after party experience. My only complaint is that the night went by too fast!

A Dream Wedding Venue

The ACC on wedding day is a dream. The space itself is beautiful, it gushes with elegance and class. We had the best day of our lives and that is due to the amazing venue and phenomenal workers at the ACC. Kelsey was there with us every step of the way and made sure that our day went perfectly, not once was I asked about something or worried about something for the reception. She was so communicative, responsive, and makes you feel like the most important bride. Andy and the bartenders who work the reception go above and beyond. We seriously were so impressed with the alcohol, service, and accommodations that we would recommend those guys every day. Brittney was there throughout the day and made sure everything went smoothly starting early in the morning, there was a coffee station set up for the girls in the suite and the guys had the squash courts booked with coffee service up there. She checked in and set up lunch and cleared everything - she was so thoughtful and sincere and it was wonderful having her smiling face there in the morning and afternoon. Overall, the ACC is the most incredible venue - the staff, the ballroom, the mantle, the staircase, the after party in the basement - it all makes for the most memorable and perfect day of your life. I will recommend the ACC over and over again because it really is a very special place. You will not regret booking your wedding or event here! Get ready for the best day ever!

Our ACC dream wedding!

We had our ceremony and reception at the Athletic Club and it was a dream. They are experts at what they do and the presentation, organization and attention to detail showed all day long! Our guests had nothing but great things things to say about their experience - everyone loved the food, venue, and bartenders! The coordinator that we worked with was Lisa and she was great. She responded to approximately one million emails with patience and helpful answers! She helped us with some special requests in the planning process and the day of she was there making sure things with our vendors and our timeline ran perfectly. We could just enjoy our day because the details were in good hands!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
