Definitely go with The Spot!

From our initial venue tour until the wedding, the Spot on West Fifth was a great venue option for us. The space is very versatile and open to your creativity when it comes to set up. Sam and the rest of the staff are all responsive and flexible to whatever you may need. We ended up having a complicated day of set up, and they were there to help with room decor and a room flip. We all had a great time and I highly recommend them!

Amazing Place for an Amazing Wedding

My wife and I got married in September of 2021 and looked at many venues around Downtown Cincinnati, and The Spot was by far the most beautiful and cost effective for the wedding we chose. They were flexible with which vendors we could hire and bring in which made planning the event easier and more personalized. We loved being able to customize the venue with our own decor as well as bring in our own licensed bar tenders and caterers. The place is beautiful and can be set up in a variety of different ways making every event there unique. The exposed brick and the industrial look was exactly what we were looking for. Additionally, it's conveniently located within walking distance to many great hotels, restaurants, bars, the Banks, OTR, and more. The venue was extremely spacious for our 100 guests and felt there was plenty of room for more. Our setup required a flip for the reception which was done in record time with their teams help. The bridal suite made for a wonderful place for the wedding party to leave their personal items. Being able to put down a deposit and not needing to pay the rest until the day of the event allowed us to save money for our big day, while knowing we had secured our perfect spot and could begin planning the rest with caterers, making invites, and everything else involved. Sam and Christy were super accommodating from start to finish with all of our requests, day and night. They allowed my wife to schedule a mock set up with our wedding planner while she was in town (we live in NYC), which made the day of the event flow much better. Sam even went out of her way the next day to help us load up items which they kept safely secured overnight so we could enjoy the rest of our evening as newlyweds with friends and family. We received numerous compliments on our venue choice and our guests were wowed at how everything came together at the Spot on West Fifth. We will definitely consider using this venue in the future for family events in Cincinnati! We are so thankful to Sam, Christy, and the Team at the Spot on West Fifth as they made our day truly magical! If you're considering where to host your upcoming wedding, the Spot on West Fifth is the place to book!

Hi, I'm Sam. I have been in the service industry for over half my life and have been with The Spot learning the ins and outs of the wedding industry since the summer of 2019.

I'm easygoing and love talking through details of your day during the planning process, and I take the job of making everything perfect on your wedding day very seriously.

I bring on staff members here at the venue that share my values of kindness, efficiency, and attention to detail.

My favorite parts of this job are getting to know couples at such an exciting and change-rich time in their lives, meeting and working with friends and families to execute a vision, and crying tears of happiness when I witness a beautiful wedding ceremony.
