The perfect modern venue ready for creativity

The Century helped us plan and execute the perfect wedding day! The space is beautiful and ready for personal touches. The staff love to help bring visions to life and are always ready to get creative. Our coordinators, Katie and Lea, were wonderful! Katie helped us feel ready during the preparation phase and Lea's day of coordination made our day run flawlessly. We recommend the Century to all of our newly engaged friends!

Tons of Character!

I had the opportunity to work with Century on two styled shoots last spring. The space is a great combination of a neutral slate with plenty of character. The location is situated closely to downtown making guest transportation easy. The venue owners communicated timely and effectively. Overall from a fellow wedding vendor, my experience was amazing! I will absolutely be sharing the space with clients as a great option for their weddings and celebrations!

Industrial, Winter Wedding Dream

The Century was the perfect place to have our winter wedding. The industrial, yet elegant, vibe was perfect and exceeded all expectations. We loved working with The Century's staff, and can't say enough good things about Katie, our venue coordinator. She really knows what she's doing, has so many great ideas, tons of knowledge about how to structure the day, and added so many special touches to our day.

Great venue for all your needs!

I recently hosted a botanical workshop, *Winter SUCC’s,* at The Century, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue! From start to finish, the team was incredibly accommodating and professional, ensuring every detail was handled seamlessly.

The space itself is stunning—spacious, well-lit, and full of character. It provided the perfect backdrop for our workshop, where participants created unique succulent gardens in a warm and inviting environment. The versatility of the venue allowed us to set up comfortably and still have room for guests to mingle and enjoy themselves.

If you’re looking for a venue that combines charm, functionality, and exceptional service, The Century is the place to go. Whether it’s for a wedding, special event, or creative workshop like ours, this venue will exceed your expectations. Thank you, The Century, for making our event so memorable!

Oh crap situation turned into the best day ever!

Long story short, my husband and I were supposed to have a beautiful outside fall wedding. We rented tents, Porta cleans, everything! Well, a hurricane was coming through and decided to storm and tear everything down the day before our wedding. The night before (when you're supposed to be rehearsing) we were SCRAMBLING to figure what to do. There was no saving our tent, it was supposed to rain for the next 3 days, etc. Bridezilla mode turned into defeated and sad bride mode. My father decided to hope on the phone and start to call everyone. One of his calls went to a gentleman whose daughter works for this venue. They said, don't worry, we have an open weekend and we can let you use the venue and get set up the night before without charge. If it weren't for them and the owners, I wouldn't know what I would've done! They let us use everything and catered to us and I can't praise them enough. The venue looked stunning afterwards and our day was PERFECT. If you're looking for a beautiful fun atmosphere with amazing people for your wedding, this is your venue!!

Incredible Experience Start to Finish

I recently co-hosted a political gathering at The Century, and I can’t say enough good things about this venue and its team! From the very start, they were incredibly generous with their time, offering clear and consistent messaging throughout the entire planning process. Their professionalism and attention to detail made everything seamless (and exciting!)

On the day of the event, Arleigh and Katie were on-site and went above and beyond to make everyone involved feel seen and supported. Not only were they helpful, but their warmth and friendliness made all of our guests feel safe and welcomed—a truly invaluable quality for any *successful* event.

The space itself was absolutely perfect for our needs. We were able to divide the space into two rooms to allow for mingling on one side while hosting a panel on the other, creating a dynamic yet organized flow. As a vendor, I especially appreciated how easy it was to unload and load equipment/food, and decor—no hassle at all! Plus, the venue offers ample parking, which was a huge convenience for our guests.

I look forward to being back at The Century as a guest and as a vendor. It’s a fantastic space with an amazing team that truly cares about your experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Incredible Experience at the Centuey

Our experience with The Century for our September 2024 wedding was extraordinary. The venue’s versatile space brought our colorful theme to life, with vibrant hues popping against the white walls and stunning lighting filling the room. Erin and Arleigh, our amazing coordinators, went above and beyond, ensuring every detail was flawless and personal. Their expertise made our wedding dreams come true. If we could relive the day, we’d do it all over again in a heartbeat!

Creative Best Awards 2024

The Century and their team was great to work with for our awards show event. The venue has a great vibe, and has a number of great options for laying out the space. For around 150 people, it felt like a good size of space, and our guests have said they loved it as well. It was easy to fill out required forms, and to understand what else needed done to bring in other vendors for the event. Set up and tear down was straight forward, and the night-of staff was great to work with, too.

Great Staff

This is a very nice venue in a great location. Our company Sound Rental Columbus provided the sound equipment and we were pleasantly surprised at how cheerful and vintage the venue was. And the staff was so helpful, they had the area ready when we arrived and even offered to help us set up. Watching the staff prepare for the wedding you could tell they took pride in making sure everthing was perfect. We would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a well organized place for a wedding or event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
