Read moreDrees Pavilion is one of the best places to have your wedding in the Cincinnati area. Sonia was so amazing and made sure all of my vendors knew where and when to be. They are prompt with invoicing and disclose everything in a timely manner. Our day was so beautiful and the timeline went very smoothly. We were so happy with how our day turned out despite a few small issues.
With that being said, I give 4 stars due to some issues that we had with the staff. When my husband and I were participating in a cultural dance, I got yelled at to stop immediately due to liability issues. I felt the attitude of the Drees Pavilion staff changed towards us when we started playing music in my family's language. I would highly recommend that Drees Pavilion staff engage in cultural and racial sensitivity training. Also, if your family participates in the tradition where the bride and groom are lifted up on chairs, you may want to find another venue as Drees does not allow this. They are not very accepting of cultural traditions and were extremely rude about it to me directly...
Read moreDrees Pavilion was the most perfect venue for our wedding day! We are so thrilled with our experience here, and would recommend Drees to any couple searching for their venue. The entire Drees team was so incredibly helpful and responsive, from our very first time meeting at the venue tour prior to booking, all the way through our wedding day. Sonia was amazing with the preparation and initial planning, Scott did a great job helping us with our rehearsal so that we felt comfortable and prepped for wedding day, and Sam was an incredible day-of coordinator who made us feel so relaxed and like guests at our own wedding!
We've also received so many compliments from guests about how amazing Drees was. People raved about the outside views, the inside decor, and how comfortable and beautiful the ceremony and reception space was.
We are so happy with our choice to go with Drees Pavilion for our wedding. Thank you so much to the Drees team for helping us have our...
