Inside the larger Harrison Ballroom, columns and ornate details provide a space full of grandeur for events. Intricate elements are also found in the Gold Ballroom, with zodiac signs encircling the ceiling accented by luxurious lighting. The venue features the Oak & Grill Ballroom as well, which displays a Tudor-style design complete with oak wainscotting and a mural. Throughout the building, the thoughtfully composed rooms offer couples memorable spaces for their nuptial festivities. In addition, it offers plenty of photo opportunities, even featuring a rounded marble staircase and balcony for enchanting wedding portraits.

Absolutely the best

After working in the industry for over 20 years, I had a pretty good idea which vendors I trusted. McHales was right at the top of that list. Not only was the food amazing, but so was the entire experience from our first meeting to the day of our event. I loved them before and don't even know what words to use now!!

I cannot say enough about the work of the Cincinnati Club on my wedding day. The Cincinnati Club was so detail oriented that I barely had to worry about anything on my wedding day. CC worked with all of my vendors to make sure that the night was well orchestrated. The pricing was easy to navigate and CC worked within our budget to make sure the night was everything we wanted it to be. I highly recommend the Cincinnati Club and Davis catering to brides who are looking for a classic event and a well trained and professional staff.

I could not say better things about Davis Catering and the Cincinnati Club. Our reception and cocktail hour was not only beautiful, but the absolute easiest part of the wedding to plan! Beth and Diane made impeccable suggestions (that I used), made sure everything was running smoothly during day of and weeks before, and made sure my husband and I had a great time. The price for the food was very reasonable, and the food was delicious! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an upscale reception with a twist of Jane Austen inspiration.

The moment we first walked in to the Cincinnati Club we fell in love with the venue! Throughout the wedding planning Beth and Diane were very helpful and there with quick replies to my questions. I couldn't have asked for a better venue to have our special day in!

My experience with the Cincinnati Club was wonderful. For what you get, it is very reasonably priced, especially for a daytime event. Diana, the manager, was great, whether helping us to plan the event or stepping in to help out when we needed it. They take care of everything, too--from linens to set-up/tear-down, and those things can really add up if you're paying for them separately (not to mention the hassle of having to coordinate all of it). The food is tasty, and they'll work with you to plan the menu you want. We were very pleased with our experience, and would definitely recommend them

We had a beautiful downtown wedding at the Cincinnati Club. We immediately fell in love with all the wood and the mural painting in the Oak Room. The whole building has a vintage, classy feel. We also liked the fact that you could only be 1 of 2 weddings in an evening. We had a lot of out of town guests and they appreciated being downtown and within walking distance of so many things to do. The Garfield Suites hotel is literally right next door so it's super convenient that guests can walk back to their hotel rooms at the end of the night.
Beth and Diana were always very responsive and helpful through the months of planning. You can tell they have a lot of experience so you know right away you are in good hands. Beth was with us the day of our wedding and she did a great job of making sure everything ran smoothly. The waitstaff was very friendly and attentive and our guests are still raving about the food. We did stations and the lines got a little long at times, but everyone said it was worth the wait. The mashed potatoes made to order and served in martini glasses were awesome and so fun (that's probably what caused the line because everyone wanted to try it first!).
I gave only 4.5 stars for flexibility because it was a little difficult to schedule our final walkthrough meeting. We were told we couldn't meet with anyone on weekdays after 3 or 3:30 so the only option for us without taking time off work was a Saturday. The problem was they were booked on Saturdays for several weeks out and I got nervous that we were cutting it too close to the event. Everything was fine in the end though and Diana came in extra early one Saturday to meet with us.
I would definitely recommend the Cincinnati Club if you are considering a downtown wedding. The value was very good for the quality of service provided. Great service and amazing food in a beautiful building in a nice area of downtown. What else could you ask for?

We had our reception in the Harrison room at the Cincinnati Club. It was a beautiful space, and all of the guests raved about how good the food was. It was a fabulous space for a reception and nice to be downtown but still keep things affordable!

I definitely recommend Davis Catering and the Cincinnati Club!

Diana was wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process. The building was beautiful, the service was excellent, the food was great too. My only gripe with these people was they shut down the bar an hour early as they felt some people were over served. After some coaxing they agreed to simply stop serving those individuals rather than shut down the bar for the rest of the guests. I think the bar ended up being closed for a short time, and they were open to our suggestion.
