Review of The Columbus Athenaeum

Absolutely horrible. If you re planning a wedding...

Absolutely horrible. If you re planning a wedding and want to choose your own vendors, stay away from this place. They have a preferred vendor list that you have to choose from, otherwise you have to pay extra to have your own vendors.
Unfortunately their vendors are not the best, they just pay them to be on their list. Since they are on their list, the vendors charge more because you have to use one of them.
They will actually talk you out of hiring another outside vendor because of this.
The most unprofessional, dishonest, untrustworthy place I ve ever seen.
If you want your own wedding, please go somewhere else. I will do the same and refer any other venue besides this place, since they said it would be in our best interest to use their preferred vendors. Laughable.
