Reviews Of The Columns

Here are some reviews on The Columns from around the web:

“The Columns has always been my dream venue! The first time I went to a wedding there for a friends wedding and knew it’s where I wanted to get married. The columns and beauty of the building created a perfect back drop for our reception. “- Allison
“My nephew had his wedding reception here and it was absolutely beautiful!! It was previously a bank! It was so awesome to see the vault and how it looked inside and being a former banker for years myself. It was so impressive to see everything at that size!! It was a beautiful place for the reception! The columns were massive and beautiful. The history behind the place is amazing!” – Pam
“Gorgeous venue. Formal wedding held here and it was fabulous.” – Keisha
“It is a beautiful setting inside. The marble columns are amazing. However, it does have its flaws. I was there for a wedding. The sound was horrible. Underpowered speakers behind the audience, not having them. Could hardly hear the minister, and couldn’t hear the bride or groom at all. It was raining outside and the roof was leaking inside. Looking up, I could see that the ceiling was damaged from the weather coming in over time. The restrooms were downstairs and the elevator was not working. In a positive note, the parking garage is attached to the back building, so getting in was really easy.” – Jim
