Franklin Park Conservatory
While the iconic Palm House at Franklin Park Conservatory is undergoing renovations until Fall 2027, this venue partner of ours has several other gorgeous spaces to host your wedding. “Even while the Palm House is being thoughtfully restored, couples are often surprised by the range and beauty of our additional venues.” Says Franklin Park’s Event Sales Manager, Allyson Carr. “Each of our spaces offers a completely different way to celebrate, yet they all share the same sense of natural beauty and atmosphere.”

Garden Pavilion
The newest addition to the Conservatory’s fleet of offerings, the Garden Pavilion allows guests to experience the comfort of the indoors while being surrounded by the beauty of exterior gardens. Immerse yourself and your guests in this sleek, black framed glass structure, adorned with bistro lights for a warm, celebratory ambiance. See the venue for yourself on the Conservatory website.

The Wells Barn
“Our venues are designed to feel effortless for clients and unforgettable for guests.” shares Allyson. We agree that this venue is no exception!
Perfect for those looking for a more casual, rustic vibe for their nuptials or reception, The Wells Barn is an experience-forward space. With 200-year-old hand-hewn timber from a barn in Richland County and option to rent the Garden Campus’s edible garden ceremony space, guests can admire the agricultural ambiance of this part of the Conservatory while they celebrate you. Tie it all together with a chef-prepared wood-fired pizza station and a seasonal menu from Together & Company – the options for an immersive wedding and catering experience at this venue are endless.

Grand Atrium
If you’ve visited Franklin Park Conservatory to view the gardens or special exhibits, you’ve likely experienced the sunlit atmosphere of the Grand Atrium. As the Conservatory’s largest space, it’s perfect for seated reception dinners or lively cocktail receptions. This space is accentuated by a showstopping, colorful Dale Chihuly glass sculpture suspended from the ceiling, just waiting to be in the backdrop of your first dance photos.

Grange Insurance Audubon Center
When it comes to wedding venues with catering, this venue is great for couples who love “the whole package”. Located within the Scioto Audubon Metro Park on the Scioto River, Grange Insurance Audubon Center is a venue where the beauty of nature meets views of the Columbus skyline, perfect for city-based outdoor enthusiasts. Couples who get married here want their celebration to feel down-to-earth and elevated, which is additionally available through offerings of both upscale catering from Together & Company and casual comfort food from our sister caterer, Sweet Carrot!

As well as having a beautiful outdoor ceremony area, the floor-to-ceiling windows in their indoor event space create a sense of being one with nature, making it an ideal location to tie the knot year-round.
See their website to explore rental pricing and book a tour – we highly recommend an in-person visit followed by a date at Nocterra Brewing’s Audubon location!
Columbus Museum of Art
Another wedding venue with catering and stunning event space options to choose from is the Columbus Museum of Art. “It is such a fun space to work in, and their team is so easy to work with!” Says Jayne Roberts, one of our Sales Partners.
Sculpture Garden and Pavilion
For large, summer weddings, hold your ceremony in the Sculpture Garden, and then make your way to the Pavilion for a reception to remember. The Pavilion (designed to serve as a “blank canvas” to decorate as your own) has plenty of space to make your mark for dining and dancing the night away.
"The Museum gets bonus points for being a “two for one” where guests not only attend the wedding but also get to explore all the galleries in the museum.”
– Jayne Roberts, Together & Company Sales Partner
Edward's Court
If you’d rather experience the Museum’s curated architectural details at your nuptials, Edward’s Court might be for you – host an indoor ceremony or reception here, where guests are immersed in vibrant colors and natural light from the glass ceiling, all tied together by a stunning Dale Chihuly glass sculpture. Talk about a reception dinner conversation piece!

Ohio Statehouse
Just like a picture, The Statehouse speaks a thousand words – no wonder hundreds of couples each year get photos taken with their bridal parties outside, even if their wedding venue is down the street!

Host your ceremony in the picturesque Rotunda, with black and white checkered floors, followed by a reception in the historic Atrium. “The Statehouse’s Greek Revival architecture and multiple levels provide a fun backdrop and experience for guests.” Says Natalie Curtis, one of our Event Producers. “The staff is always great to work with. It feels like a team when we are there!”
It’s true that the Together & Company catering team loves working at this historic wedding venue. For the many ways to display and share our menu with guests, the expertise of the staff onsite, and the joy of working in such a grand space!

Together & Company’s Exclusive Venues, High Line Car House and The Fives
We can’t have a list of wedding venues that serve our catering without mentioning The Fives Columbus and High Line Car House! These two event spaces are exclusively managed and catered by Together & Company, which means your event planner, chef, and event team are all coworkers! We work in tandem to create a seamless, all-in-one wedding experience for you.
High Line Car House
Nestled right on the edge of Columbus’ Brewery District and historic German Village is an old 1873 brick building, High Line Car House. It originally was where drivers kept horses for the Columbus Railway System and now serves as one of our city’s most highly rated industrial wedding venues and the Together & Company team’s home base.
With a new renovation in 2024, High Line is a venue that blends historic elegance with contemporary design, perfect for couples that want to create an old-world romantic vibe for their guests. High Line Car House is catered and managed by Together & Company, making ceremonies and receptions as unforgettable as the venue itself, with exceptional food and service included.

Overlook at Astor Park
You’ll definitely feel spoiled by our city’s skyline when you celebrate at Overlook at Astor Park, one of Columbus’s newer venues just across from the new Crew Stadium (any soccer fans out there?). “I love the view of the city from the Overlook. The space makes you feel like you’re at a fun rooftop bar in Columbus.” says Natalie.
With bold interior design features and furnishings, this is a space that is ready for hosting. “The aesthetic is sophisticated, modern, and the perfect cocktail reception vibe! Plus, Tori, their Event Manager, is a gem to work with.” shared Natalie.

Getting Out of Town
If getting out of the city for your nuptials is on your wedding vision board, the following venues are perfect for a little space, whether it’s still an urban aesthetic you’re aiming for, or an all-out rural oasis.
Peak at Edison
This rooftop event venue by Edison Brewing Company has a modern industrial space with a view of downtown Columbus in the distance. The space was designed to impress your wedding visions upon it, but can also shine with many types of decor. We think it’s the perfect place to get married for couples who want a city vibe for their celebration but want to get out of the fray. Let your ceremony flow seamlessly into cocktail hour on their open-air terrace and watch the sun set over the city during dinner.
