Strongwater Events

Strongwater Events is a distinctive venue in Columbus, Ohio, offering indoor and outdoor spaces for weddings, corporate functions and personal celebrations. Set in a historic warehouse in the Franklinton Arts District, the venue pairs exposed brick and original architectural details with flexible layouts suited to different event styles and guest numbers.

The venue has three spaces: the Gallery, the Annex and the Courtyard. The Gallery is the largest indoor space, with capacity for up to 200 seated guests or 285 for a standing reception. The Annex can be used for smaller gatherings or alongside the Gallery, while the Courtyard provides an outdoor setting for ceremonies and drinks receptions. Together, the spaces offer options for events throughout the year. For weddings, the venue also has two private suites, separate bar areas and an outdoor ceremony space. Across the venue, wedding receptions can seat up to 225 guests, with larger numbers possible for dinner or a cocktail-style event.

Event planners can consider Strongwater for work meetings, presentations, awards dinners, fundraisers, product launches, networking events, training sessions and company celebrations. The venue also welcomes personal occasions such as birthdays, engagement parties, showers and other family gatherings. Its team provides planning assistance and customisable layouts, while in-house catering is provided by Milo's Catering. Located just west of downtown Columbus, Strongwater is within walking distance of hotels, breweries and galleries, making it a practical base for guests and organisers exploring the neighbourhood.
