    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!

    Thoughtful

    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!

    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!

    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.
