    Amazing!

    Our wedding was everything I could have dreamed of. I can’t thank Amber, Vanessa, and heidi enough. They helped me through everything, they were so supportive, and they are just amazing people in general. Special thanks to Vanessa for being there for me on the day, she is truly an incredible woman and I can’t wait to have events there in the future with her. Everything turned out beautiful, I still have people RAVING about the food. Thank you so much to everyone at Columbia Ballroom for making my day so special. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Everything was truly incredible.

    Highly Recommend

    We had the most incredible experience at Columbia Ballroom! From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to make everything absolutely perfect. The venue itself is stunning — spacious, elegant, and full of charm — but what really makes it stand out is the team behind it.

    Every staff member we interacted with was kind, professional, and attentive. They anticipated needs before we even had to ask and treated us like family. Their organization and attention to detail made the whole process smooth and stress-free, which allowed us to just relax and truly enjoy our event.

    So many of our guests complimented not only the beauty of the ballroom but also how seamless and well-run everything felt. It’s rare to find a place that combines breathtaking atmosphere with such genuine, dedicated service.

    If you’re looking for a venue where the people care just as much as you do about making your event special, Columbia Ballroom is the place. We can’t thank the staff enough for helping create memories that will last a lifetime!

    Always a great experience!

    I'm a professional wedding officiant and I've officiated weddings at least a half dozen times at Columbia Ballroom and it's always been a positive experience. The way the horses always seem to make their way to the ceremony area right when it's starting so they create the perfect backdrop for a wedding. I've never had the opportunity to stay for a reception, however. Last night I got to attend a wedding professional networking event at Columbia Ballroom. As I sit here eating the leftover pizza from last night for breakfast (DELICIOUS!!!), I really have to give a shout out to the fantastic venue staff. The bartender was slinging drinks promptly and the pizza is absolutely perfect. The space is rustic but elegant. I love the history behind the building and the personal connection the owners have. Columbia Ballroom continues to have a great reputation among local wedding professionals and I highly recommend booking a venue tour!

    Wedding Reception

    My husband and I recently got married, and had our reception at Columbia Ballroom. The day was absolutely perfect.

    We worked with Amber for the entire planning of our reception and she was simply a joy. She was very prompt and attentive with responding to any questions I had and made sure everything was taken care of the day of the wedding. I did not have to worry about a thing and was able to enjoy every moment.

    The food was phenomenal and our guests raved about the chicken and Mac and cheese ..yum!

    I can’t thank Amber and the staff at Columbia Ballroom enough for making our wedding dreams come true.

    If you’re searching for a wedding venue I HIGHLY recommend Columbia Ballroom. You won’t be disappointed. 😊💍

    10/07/2023- Rachel and Justin Dombard

    What a beautiful day 10/07/23 was and it was given to us by Columbia Ballroom. Vannessa was amazing from meeting her on Thursday for rehearsal to her being one of our rockstars on Saturday. We were able to have the ceremony outside (thank you weather) ad during rehearsal we saw the indoor ceremony set up for our Friday wedding friends and if you are in between you cannot go wrong with either indoor or outdoor. The food was delicious and we received many compliments from friends and family- we went buffet style and would recommend. 10/10 would recommend this venue and their coordinators.

    A day we will never forget!!

    Absolutely beautiful venue! Amber and the rest of the staff were so great to work with!! They made the day great and put my mind at ease with little details that needed completed for the reception. They were easy to get ahold of and quick to respond! I would absolutely recommend using this venue for your wedding! We received so many compliments on how beautiful it was, how great the food was and fantastic service!!! I also stayed at the bridal suite the night before to get ready and it made it so nice for my vendors to help us get ready! The home was super cute and comfortable! Wish we could do it all over again!!

    Amazing venue

    We fell in love with The Columbia Ballroom from the moment we toured last year. Amber made the process so easy, she is knowledgeable, helpful and calming. The food was amazing, the staff was incredible, so so many compliments how wonderful the venue and grounds were. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience ❤️ and the bridal house the night before was also a special touch!

    Dream Venue!!

    We just got married here in June, and had an amazing experience with the ballroom! The staff was so polite and attentive to all of our needs and questions! Was so easy to get in touch with all personnel for any questions or concerns! Having the hall provide catering, set up, and the bar took so much stress off of our plates when we were looking for vendors (huge bonus!!). Our wedding day came out so perfect! The staff helped everything run smoothly and get everyone organized for the walk down the aisle. The hall was such a gorgeous location, the guests loved being able to celebrate in the hall and the outdoor area. The food was amazing all of our guests loved the menu! The property is so photogenic and we got amazing shots inside and out (we especially loved the horses!!). Cannot recommend the Columbia ballroom enough!! Thank you to all for your kindness and help in the best day of our lives!

    Amazing venue and staff!

    Our whole experience with Columbia Ballroom was amazing! Amber was the sweetest and answered the millions of questions we had.
    We originally were supposed to get married in October 2020. Due to covid, we pushed it to October 2021. We were devastated that we had to push it, but Amber made the whole process a lot easier for us!
    Our wedding was an absolute dream and I couldn't imagine having it anywhere else! We were married outside with the horses in the back. It was like a fairytale. The horses even came up to the fence after the ceremony, so guests were able to take photos with them.
    The inside of the venue was everything we wanted. It's a modern rustic vibe with great natural lighting! Perfect for photos in the venue. And the dance floor was a perfect size for over 200 guests!
    Also, I recommend renting out the bridal suite for the morning of. It was so helpful to have a place next to the venue to get all the girls ready together. We had 12 girls & 4 hair/makeup ladies & it fit us all!

    March 28, 2020

    From the moment my fiancé and I started planning our wedding, we knew we had to have our reception at Columbia Ballroom. We had previously attended a wedding there, and loved it! We booked them within a month of getting engaged. Once we started telling our guests and our other vendors where our reception was, all we kept hearing was good things about the venue, food, and service. From the time we booked Columbia Ballroom up until this day, they have been nothing but amazing to my fiancé and I.

    Unfortunately, we are not able to have our reception at Columbia Ballroom due to the fire that took place exactly three weeks before our big day. What I can speak on is that Columbia Ballroom has gone above and beyond to provide us with THE BEST customer service (even when they were going through such tragedy). They stayed in touch with me to keep me informed of what was going on after the fire took place. They reached out to other venues on my behalf to see if our date was available, and to see if they could accommodate us. Even before the fire took place, they always responded in a timely manner whenever I had any questions or concerns. They provided us multiple food tastings (which made it very difficult to choose our food menu because everything was so delicious)! They were extremely flexible on specific requests we had. We were able to be picky about all the details for our special day, no matter how big or small they were. They made planning our reception so much easier than I ever anticipated. I cannot thank them enough for all they have done for me these past couple weeks, and the last year & a half of our wedding planning.

    I worked with Amber throughout the entire process of planning our wedding, and she was amazing to work with. She makes planning your wedding reception so easy. She is truly a professional at what she does! The owners Shane and Heidi were also great to work with throughout everything that happened. All three of them truly care about every couple that steps foot into Columbia Ballroom.

    Future couples, PLEASE consider Columbia Ballroom for your big day— they are an amazing venue with an amazing team behind them. I PROMISE you will not be disappointed with their food, staff, and services!

    Columbia Ballroom places the bride and groom first. Heidi and her team work closely with you in order to ensure your day is perfect. The team is polite and quick to respond to any question. I would recommend this venue for any event, I cannot say enough good things about Columbia Ballroom.

    Columbia Ballroom Is The Perfect Place To Get Married

    The Columbia Ballroom is an incredible venue. We booked them shortly after we got engaged 18 months ago and they have been a pleasure to work with the entire time leading up to our special day! They are kind, professional, and very responsive. We did most of our communication with Amber who was always available to answer and questions or share ideas with. Heidi was there the day of our wedding and she was so kind and thoughtful and really put a lot of effort into making our day perfect. They were flexible with anything we needed or wanted to really customize our wedding to fit us. They have their own catering on site, which is absolutely incredible. The food was amazing! They have their own bar (which you can customize) and bartenders who provided great service. Their event staff made the day effortless. Our ceremony was on site too and it was everything we ever dreamed of. We will recommend The Columbia Ballroom always and forever!

    Everything about my wedding was absolutely PERFECT, starting with the Columbia Ballroom.
    I fell in love with the ballroom since the moment I saw it. The ballroom, despite it's name, is not a ballroom, but a rustic-barn feel, with exposed wood beams and hardwood floors. It's a big main room and dance floor, complete with a large bar, and stage to keep the whole party in one place. A horse farm out back, gives it that extra touch.

    The venue books fast, so if you want this place DON'T hesitate. The year I wanted was completely booked, so I ended up putting my name on a waiting last. It turned out the venue had a cancellation and we quickly scooped up the date.
    Heidi (the owner) and Amber were both a phone call or text message away throughout the whole planning process. They were both so helpful in making my day exactly how I wanted. My finace and I quickly picked our food, and our tasting was delicious. Closer to our date we had to pick table cloths.... I changed my mind a million times, and went up multiple times, and Heidi and Amber were always eager and accommodating. The month or two before the wedding I changed the table cloths (again) and even wanted to add in a taco bar, and again they were quickly there to help!
    The day of the wedding finally came. We opted for a plated dinner instead of buffet and the severs executed it flawlessly. We received SO MANY COMPLIMENTS on all the food, from the Italian Wedding soup, to the main course, to the late night taco bar! Every single guest had something good to say about the meal.
    The bartenders were equally amazing. There is an older blonde lady bartender who took care of me all night! I wish I learned her name because she definitely deserves a shout-out! The bartenders had hustle and the drinks were great!
    I can't say enough good things about this place. If you are considering it for your wedding venue, just book it now!

    There are truly no words to describe how amazing The Columbia Ballroom is. From the absolutely beautiful venue to the incredible staff and service and the DELICIOUS food - everything was beyond perfect. Heidi and her crew provided the best service and attention to detail - our ceremony transitioning to reception was seamless and it's truly all thanks to these amazing people! THE FOOD! Hands down the best. We still dream about it and wish we could have just ONE more bite of steak. Not only were Sean and I pleased, our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious everything was. Absolutely incredible.

    You guys are amazing. My first wedding memory will forever be walking into The Columbia Ballroom, seeing the ribbons tied on the chairs and the tables set, and I walked right back out and cried so hard over how beautiful everything was. It honestly took my breath away. We are so grateful for all of you - it was a day we will never forget! Just perfection.

    I had my wedding at the Columbia Ballroom on September 9th 2017. I couldn't have asked for a better day! Heidi was so helpful from the time we first came to look at the place up until after our wedding. She made planning the wedding stress free from recommending an awesome Dj, to responding to all of my questions quickly. The Ballroom provides chairs, tables, glassware, linens, napkins and so much more! I had so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was. I can not thank the Columbia Ballroom enough for making my big day PERFECT!

    The Columbia Ballroom was the perfect venue for our vintage chic wedding! The venue is gorgeous and Heidi and Shane were amazing to work with! I had so many compliments on the venue, the bar staff, and the FOOD- delicious!!!
    The venue is perfect for an outdoor ceremony too! They have a beautiful arbor that backs a field of horses. Can't praise this venue enough!!!

    We were married at the Columbia ballroom last Friday, and I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else. I was planning the whole thing from Tampa, Fl which was stressful enough, but Heidi was always prompt in her email responses and always made herself available when I would come in town for a few days to meet with me and answer questions. On the day of the wedding, we had a mishap with the florist- he thought the wedding was the next day- so two hours before the ceremony was to commence, I had no flowers or centerpieces. Heidi was a rockstar, before my bridal party had even made me aware of what was going on with the florist, Heidi, her husband and crew were cutting flowers from their OWN gardens for centerpieces, running to Costco to get flowers for my bouquet, decorating with anything they could find. The staff and the ballroom, along with my bridal party and family, saved my wedding day. It was also great because the inside of the ballroom is naturally beautiful with everything that they provide anyway. I got so many comments on how wonderful everything looked, nobody knew what happened. Heidi and the staff made the whole wedding experience amazing. Definitely would recommend. And the food is phenomenal.

    This venue is absolutely beautiful and Heidi is so great to work with. Even with the 17-year cicadas and rain, our wedding day went off without a hitch. And the food is delicious!

    Heidi (owner of Columbia Ballroom) executed my dream wedding May 20, 2016. She was super flexible and easy to work with throughout the process. She was patient with me when I had a lot of questions! She was cool with our dogs being part of the ceremony as well. Her husband Shane makes the food and it was soooo delicious. Our guests raved about it. Overall, this venue is affordable and well worth the money for the quality. I loved my wedding and am so grateful to Heidi and the CB staff.

    We booked this venue for our wedding in April 2016. Heidi was wonderful to work with and was always ready to help. Every question I had was quickly answered. She was so attentive during setup and the reception. She was at the ballroom for the entire reception was very helpful when we had questions or needed anything. Shane is a fantastic chef and the food is absolutely delicious prepared perfectly. To top off the two wonderful people that own the venue it is absolutely beautiful and was a perfect fit for our wedding reception!

    What a unique and beautiful venue. Vintage and gorgeous! And the food was delicious. We served our guests a marinated London broil and a bourbon glazed salmon. Both were both outstanding. The potatoes were "real" and the vegetables were cooked to perfection.

    The Table linens and chair bows were absolutely beautiful. I cannot imagine having a reception anywhere else!

    We just booked our wedding for 2016 here and so far they have been wonderful. I live in Akron, but my fiancé lives in IL and all of our family/ friends will be coming in from out of town. I needed something where I don't have to do a lot of thinking and planning. They make it so easy- food (the one owner is a chef), bar, tables/chairs, linens, decorating (besides adding your own flair), wait staff is all included. This completely takes all of the running around trying out vendors and craziness out of it. The place is a cool old barn. Heidi is awesome and so far has been extremely responsive. She is also laid back which is good for me. I am super busy, type A personality, but I travel a lot and need someone to take this part of it over. So far everything has been great!

    Columbia Ballroom was a perfect choice for having our wedding ceremony and reception. The venue is beautiful and the food is amazing. Working with their coordinator was very easy and she was extremely helpful. If you are looking for a great place with a rustic feel, Columbia Ballroom is the right choice.

    We had our wedding reception at the Columbia Ballroom, and could not have been happier with everything! The Ballroom has such a charming, romantic feel. The owner was so helpful and friendly, great to work with and really helped us make our party a unique and special event. The food was delicious, and our guests are still raving about it! Thank you so much for making this such a fun, memorable and magical night for us and our guests!!

    Wow is all I can say about this place, it is absolutely amazing inside! They made my dream wedding come true! I can not say enough about how great it was working with Heidi, she is so nice and helps every step of the way. The food is amazing, so many complements on it, especially the broccoli cheddar soup, London broil, stuffed chicken! You will be so happy if you have your reception here!

    The Columbia Ballroom is the perfect wedding venue. It is a unique building that has so much character and charm. The space is so welcoming and has a great relaxed/home-like feel to it. Working with Heidi and her family was a great experience, and they were always willing to go the extra mile to make our wedding reception fit our vision! Great food and a beautiful reception, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect space!

    This was the one and only reception venue we saw. After attending many weddings over the years in the northeast Ohio area we looked for something out of the box. We booked without tasting the food and knowing this was the first year running things by themselves I was mildly worried. Every fear was put to rest. They are family owned and operated which I loved. Heidi is easiest to contact via email and always answered my questions. We did a group tasting shortly after booking and were thrilled with the selections. We picked our linens which they provided as part of the cost. They were very accommodating of the extras I brought in (kettle corn, caramel apple bar, hot cider). We dropped everything off Friday morning, coordinator set everything up Saturday afternoon and we picked everything up including our gifts Sunday morning.

    We have heard nothing but extremely positive review from our guests. Everyone loved the food, atmosphere and feeling of this place. It was the perfect setting for a fall night. The white lights and lanterns give quite a magical feeling. All of the food including a soup and salad bar and late night pizza were delicious. They were very efficient and every one was through the buffet line quickly.

    They are simply a steal for what you get. I know prices have changed slightly since we booked but not by much.

    We had the most amazing wedding reception at the Columbia Ballroom. Everything was absolutely perfect. The venue is stunning and Heidi was great to work with throughout the planning process. She was available by email and answered our many questions. She was always very personable and flexible throughout planning. Day of the wedding, Heidi paid great attention to detail and made sure everything was more beautiful than we requested and happening as we wanted. She was wonderfully helpful and formed a contingency plan and schedule for us when our DJ got in a car crash and was an hour late. The food was perfectly done; many of our guests found us to tell us it was the best wedding food they have ever had. All 140 people made it through the buffet line in under 20 minutes, and there was enough food for anyone who wanted seconds.
    Overall, they could not have done a better job on anything, everything was perfect from start to finish. I would recommend them without any hesitation.

    We absolutely loved everything about our experience with Heidi, Shane, and the Columbia Ballroom. We were wedding planning from out of state, and Heidi was always responsive in helpful in any questions we had. The ballroom has so much beauty about it that decorating was easy, the beauty of the room speaks for itself. We had our ceremony outside under the shade of the maple trees, with the horses in the field- which were a huge hit with guests! The food was amazing, and many people commented on it being one of the best wedding meals they have ever had. Heidi was there all day to make sure things were running smoothly, and acted in such a calm and reassuring way without ever feeling pushy. We can't recommend this venue enough!

    Generally good

    The venue is so beautiful it was easy to overlook any negatives! Food was phenomenal and everybody had a good time. Heidi was always responsive with our questions and finding a solution, however it often felt we had to dig for answers. The other staff Amber was rude and pushy day of our wedding and acting like she wanted to be anywhere but there. If it’s your business to help people at their venue for their wedding and they’re paying a ton for it you should be able to put on a smile. Maybe the wedding industry isn’t for her.

    My daughters wedding & reception was there! Heidi was so helpful in the beginning! At the end I had to ask her for to go boxes for the cake! She was not pleased! We only had a hour an a half to clean up and get out or she would charge us! In the process of trying to hurry to get done we left some stuff behind! I contacted her and she said she doesn't keep stuff pass a week and a half! I have been emailing her for 2 weeks to get my stuff! Bottom line the place is expensive and she is not willing to answer emails in a timely manner! Food was good!
