McKinnell-McCluskey Wedding
I would highly recommend wedding at The Grand. The staff was very attentive and professional. This was for my son's wedding to my new daughter n Law. We had several issues not on their part but our part that they helped us resolved quickly. Biggest issue an arch was forgotten and we were to provide. After expense of florals for an Arch, we need the Arch. Shannon helped us procure an Arch that afternoon 3 hours prior to wedding and it was delivered timely and assembled ahead of promised time. Shannon was there every step of the way to help us with all our needs. Shannon and her team (particularly Leighton) made everything seamless and unforgettable for all us, there is not enough words I can say to express my gratitude. Particularly the bride and groom. They were unaware of any issues. Thank you to Shannon and Leighton for all you did to make this day beautiful. Shannon was even very supportive for this momma that had to put on a smile all day when heart was breaking inside because my son's sister, brother n law and niece could not attend and participate because of COVID. I cannot thank you enough for all your support through out day to keep me together.

Beyond my highest hopes!
I am the mother of the Bride.
The bride is the youngest of our three daughters.
This winter wonderland reception had to be perfect.
Shannah, Leighton, Chef and the staff absolutely NAILED IT!!
The Grand is a well oiled machine. Shannah is prompt and efficient, returning emails and phone calls quickly, taking care of endless details and ensuring that our wedding weekend ran smoothly and beautifully. The touches the entire staff put on the reception we’re amazing, the food Chef prepared was hot and delicious and attractively plated.
We surprised everyone with an appearance from Brutus Buckeye. It was carried off perfectly!
If I could change one thing, it would be…NOTHING!! I am still floating from the fantastic experience we had at The Grand!

Incredible!
The minute we walked in to the center we knew we wanted to get married there. I love how the pricing is transparent and per person! We invited 260 people and had 200 attend so this was the perfect space to accommodate all of us. I can’t say enough good things about Shannah. Her guidance and recommendations helped so much! I was a little bummed about not getting to use the gorgeous courtyard since it was 30 degrees the day of our wedding but it was still a great place for photos they look magical!

Grand Event Center Wedding
We loved the Grand Event Center for our wedding and everything went very smoothly. Our event coordinator Shannah Paddock was fun to work with and was extremely organized and helpful, which created a seamless experience. The space itself is beautiful from the outdoor space , to the ballroom, to the entry/bar area. The staff was very professional and on point with every detail. Everyone raved about the food, and the bar staff was great! We would recommend this venue for any couple looking for an all-inclusive wedding.

The BEST venue experience!!!
We got married on July 30th and could not have been happier with our venue choice!! Shannah and Leighton were wonderful to work with and the day went so smoothly. The food was delicious, the ballroom is stunning, and our guests loved using the patio too! On the day of we felt so taken care of and all the little details were handled for us. Every guest we have talked to can't say enough about how great the venue was and how well the day went! Justin and I are SO grateful to the staff and would recommend the venue to anyone looking in the Columbus area.
