Great place to have lunch during the week. The Pine Room Restaurant serves great quality, delicious food from 11:00am to 2:00pm, Monday thru Friday. This is the same staff who provide fare for events. Check out this hidden gem.
Was here for a wedding. Great venue. Tons of character.
The historic building is beautiful. The staff catered the lunch and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend this venue.
Beautiful place. Our room was nicely sized for our not humongous party, but there's larger rooms too. However, my party was on the 3rd floor and the men's bathroom was on the 4th. Then I found the only toilet was out of order and the other one was on the first floor. That one had 2 toilets, one of which was missing a seat.
Was here for a wedding. First time visiting and this building is gorgeous. The architecture is amazing. I was constantly looking at different parts of the building in awe. Wish I had considered this as a wedding venue for myself now.
The staff at the Columbus Athenaeum are experts at customer service and hospitality. We had a phenomenal wedding at an affordable price in a historic and beautiful location!
From the moment we inquired about having our wedding at the Athenaeum to the final load out at the wedding - every single detail was executed perfectly by their staff.
The food is exquisite! We have a very "foodie" family and everyone raved about our wedding food. We had a buffet style diner but the staff served my husband and I and made sure we had drinks at all times. :) We were actually able to enjoy ourselves at our wedding.
Every time I stopped in to make a payment or drop off a contract, the staff made me feel like I was their only client, when in fact they do hundreds events a year.
We did lots of research on several types of venues including DIY style, and the cost for 160 guests at the Athenaeum was one of the most affordable options. And they did most of the work!
We attended a wedding at the Antenaeum in Columbus and it was a stunning venue. Everywhere you look there are beautiful floors, gorgeous bathroom details, lovely vintage fixtures, pretty old beams.
We attended the wedding ceremony is a really neat old theatre inside the building. It was a beautiful place for a wedding ceremony! We moved to the top story of a to a two story grand room for spies and cocktails. The staff was so polite and friendly. The space was really neat!
If you are considering this venue for your event, go for it! As an out of town guest, it was a real treat to enjoy a piece of Columbus's history.
Parking is not awesome, (it's downtown, that's to be expected;) so leave enough time to find a spot!
Great venue for a wedding.
The building itself feels vintage and the staff did an amazing job decorating. Service was fabulous.
There are a number of different levels to the building which make it very practical to transition between the service and the reception smoothly.
One of the better venues for a weeping that I have been to.
Gorgeous space. Be aware of the lack of public parking, but it isn't hard to find meters or pay lots in the vicinity.
