Wonderful!!

I had so many questions and concerns! However, Rita listened and provided answers the best she could. She tried her best to solve any problems we had and in the end the wedding turned out better than I imagined. With a few beginning bumps that were quickly solved, my friends and family are still commenting how beautiful and special our wedding was. We had many special requests, which all were accommodated! Thank you Rita and J.Liu staff!

Beautiful, Well Organized Venue

My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Rita and her team at J Liu! We had both our ceremony and reception in the ballroom. Rita was so quick to answer our questions from the time we scheduled a tour of the venue to the day of the wedding. She took so much stress off of my shoulders while wedding planning. She was around the entire wedding day to make sure that everything was just as we had requested. The venue was absolutely gorgeous. We loved that our guests could sit on the terrace during the reception. We had many compliments on the food and we were so happy that we chose the buffet so that our guests would not leave hungry! The bartenders were very friendly and poured great drinks all night long. We would highly recommend the venue.

J Liu and Rita were wonderful to work with leading up to and during the wedding. They really did everything to make us feel special, and we truly cannot say enough nice things about Rita (J Liu’s event coordinator); she went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order and was very friendly. One of the things we loved about choosing J Liu for our wedding and reception was the fact that we didn’t have worry about contacting several different companies for the various parts that go into a wedding: J Liu handled the food, alcohol, staffing, lighting, linens, tables, chairs, set up, tear down, and coordination. It was perfect.

My fiancé (now wife) and I had the hardest time finding a venue that would accommodate a smaller sized wedding ceremony and reception. With a guest count of just under fifty people, many venues aren’t willing to book the space for a ceremony or reception without a hefty upcharge to meet the minimum. Thankfully, unlike several venues in central Ohio, J.Liu came to the rescue and provided a beautiful ballroom to accommodate both events at an affordable price.

J. Lui was the perfect reception venue! The wedding coordinator, Rita Gonzales, was extremely timely in getting questions answered. Any questions or concerns we had were addressed within 24 hours. The reception area had the perfect amount of space to accommodate our 150 guests. The outside balcony was perfect for our summer wedding, as guests could take their drinks to go and have a moment away from the dance floor. Our food was served quickly, and the food was delicious. J. Lui was very accommodating to our guests who had specific food requests. The staff was friendly and helpful and made sure we had a fun night. The centerpieces, and tables looked exactly like what we had pictured our reception to look like. Overall, my husband and I couldn’t have been happier to have picked J. Lui for our wedding reception.

I had my wedding reception at J Liu with around 130 guests and I couldn't have been more happy with how everything went. Todd and Rebekka the event coordinators at j Liu make everything so easy the least stressful part of the whole planning process for me was when I handed things over to them. My mom even told me that when she arrived for the reception Todd picked here out of the crowd asked her what she wanted from the bar and personally made sure she had a full drink all night. Everyone at J Liu make my reception absolutely perfect I couldn't have asked for a better night!
And in regards to flexibility I actually changed my wedding date from June of 2014 to December 2013 and J Liu worked with me to find a date that worked with less than a year until my new December date!

Todd & JLiu did an excellent job making our reception the event of the summer. Todd was easy to work with and aloud us to make many personalized details that made it clear to our guests that we had really tried to create something special. The ballroom and patio was a perfect combination to allow our guests to have fun and relax at the same time without having to venture to far from the celebration. The staff was very friendly and served everyone in a timely manner so that everyone could continue to have a good time. I would highly recommend this venue for anyone planning a reception.
