Best Wedding Venues in Cincinnati Ohio

There are a TON of Cincinnati wedding venues to choose from. It can definitely be overwhelming if you don’t know where you begin. After several years in business we definitely have created a short list of the best wedding venues in Cincinnati.

Pinecroft Mansion

This is our absolute favorite venue in Cincinnati. We love that it has a European estate vibe, amazing gardens for portraits, and the most perfect white tent that can host your beautiful reception. The best part of this venue is the perfect bride and groom suites where you can get ready on site. The Pinecroft an indoor & outdoor venue that can host up to 325 guests.

Peterloon Estate

This is another venue that hosts a European vibe. It’s a stunner when you drive down the long path to the house. It’s stately, unique, and provides several photo backdrops for portraits on your big day. It’s rich with history and stunning architecture. Peterloon is an indoor & outdoor venue that can host up to 250 guests.

Greenacres Art Center

This is one of the most exclusive venues in Cincinnati. They only host a handful of weddings on their property each year but each one blows me away with how exquisite the design and execution is. This is a very elegant venue that’s mostly outdoors with a white tented reception. I haven’t shot here yet but it’s definitely on our Cincinnati wedding venue bucket list! Greenacres is an indoor & outdoor venue that can host up to 500 guests.

Monastery Event Center

The Monastery Event Center is a relatively new yet very sought-after wedding venue in Cincinnati. It is a renovated historical church that boasts beautiful interiors if you’re looking for a stunning indoor reception location. The Monastery is an indoor venue with some outside space available that can host up to 300 guests.

Taft Museum of Art

The Taft Museum of Art offers something different than the venues listed above. It’s more modern and art-centered with clean lines. We love that there are so many portrait locations here- from the front of the museum to the gardens in back. It has everything you need. Taft Museum of Art is predominantly outdoors with a white tented reception that can host up to 200 guests.

Premier Parks (French Park, Ault Park, Alms Park)

These are some of our favorite Cincinnati wedding venues! All of the Cincinnati Park weddings are hosted under the umbrella company of Premier Park Events. These parks often boast beautiful tented receptions or you can have a seated dinner under the beautiful arches of their pavilions. Weddings at these locations are typically stunning- with overflowing florals, well thought out tablescapes, and perfect photography to match. These are all mostly outdoor venues that can host from 120-600 guests.

Laurel Court

Laurel Court is THE hidden gem in Cincinnati in our opinion. It looks like it could be in the French Countryside. It has an impressive and photogenic front, lush gardens, ivy-colored trellises, an amazing courtyard, and an even more impressive interior. Like Greenacres Art Center, it’s very exclusive and only hosts a handful of wedding events each year. This is an indoor & outdoor venue.

Krippendorf Lodge

Tucked back in the wooded Cincinnati Nature Center lies Krippendorf. While it may be initially seen as rustic, it can easily be elevated to a high-end but nature-centered wedding day. It’s surrounded by beauty and is a perfect backdrop to your ceremony, reception, and all of your portraits. This is an indoor & outdoor venue that can host up to 200 guests.

Hotel Covington

This is an extremely popular venue- they tend to book out 2 years in advance. The stunning courtyard, chic lobby, and gorgeous boutique hotel rooms adorn this hip hotel. Located in Northern Kentucky there are a lot of areas around for portrait locations, flexible places for your guests to spend cocktail hour, and reception options. Hotel Covington is an indoor & outdoor venue that can host up to 200 guests.

The Transept

This is another converted church to wedding venue. It showcases two levels, an insanely beautiful bridal suite, and a striking center stage.
