Romance and elegance set the stage for weddings held at The Athletic Club, from the guests' arrival at the gorgeous Italian inspired building to the Old World charm of the interior. Ornate details can be found throughout, from an intricate grand fireplace to original coffered ceilings. A stunning ironwork staircase leads guests along the stone steps to the main event area, a majestic light-filled room that is reminiscent of grand ballrooms found throughout Europe. This lavish space offers exquisite crystal chandeliers, beautiful hardwood floors and stunning floor-to-ceiling windows that capture the Columbus skyline. The room's showpiece, however, is the magnificent ceiling design that features intricately carved and painted details across the length of the room. 

The Athletic Club is a full-service event venue that provides in-house wedding planning as well as on-site catering.
