Planing a wedding here has been good and bad. The place is beautiful and staff is generally helpful, but the quotes they give are not reliable. Duplicate charges and incorrect amounts on the estimate make planning difficult. read more

Beautiful venue in a wide open space of an old church. Remodeled & versatile w/ huge room for wedding ceremony & reception in same place. Then courtyard available for hors d'oeuvres while they switch over the church interior space. Available are rooms for bridal party, outdoor and inside open bars and private parking lot. Decor is amazing for pictures w/ huge stain glass windows. Then lights are changeable for party time. Drawbacks: can only enter from stage so can't be late or you'll pop out in middle of stage w/ bride & groom. Restroom was a bit tight w/ only one stall. The huge long ramp runs down middle & bisects the room a bit. Otherwise servers were on the ball & the food was well prepared. The courtyard was a fave for most guests. Very nice & impressive. read more

The Bell did an amazing job hosting my daughter's wedding. Everything was on time, the service was excellent and the food was excellent. Her wedding coordinator Morgan made sure all the details were taken care of big and small. Highly recommend this place. read more

Our daughter and son-in-law picked this venue for their wedding reception. Great place. Character of the venue is fantastic and it is in a great location with lots of bars and restaurants for guests to mingle in between the ceremony and the reception. The team at Bell Event Centre did a great job. read more

Attended a wedding here, as a bridesmaid, so I spent a good amount of time at the rehearsal, morning/day of the wedding and then the actual ceremony and reception. I must say, the lady (Alexis I believe?) that leads the whole thing is a rockstar. She makes sure everything happens in proper sequence and really takes a huge load off the bride and bridesmaids. She's great at her job. There is a room for bride and groom on the opposite side of the space, almost a totally separate building but it is connected by a short overhead tunnel. Regardless, the space is good sized and also has a restroom. The bride room easily fit around 10 ladies, anymore than that would've been a little tight. The ceremony and reception area is gorgeous, an old Catholic Church. The alter is surrounded by tall pillars, candles, religious artwork. It's quite stunning. During cocktail hour outside, the staff flips the inside to a reception hall. As a bridesmaid, we were in and out a lot with pictures and it was so nice to see the staff really bustling around to make sure everything was perfect. Food was yummy, space was gorgeous, clean, everything you'd expect. I don't say this lightly but this was the best wedding I've ever attended (including my own). I know this was a joint effort for everybody but the Bell Event Center rocked their part!!! read more

This place is GORGEOUS! The huge ceilings and details along with the stained glass windows makes this place so so special. We went for the candlelight concert but it's also popular for weddings as well read more

Wow! I was very impressed with this venue. Though we were only guests of the persons holding the event, this place was impressive as far guest service, decorations, amenities, etc. The venue itself was beautiful and had plenty of space. The menu provided was absolutely delicious, from the hor d'Oeuvres to the salad, to the side dishes and entrees....every single item was delicious. The event host was "present" and accommodating to the guest. I want to give an honorable mention to the details regarding the women's restroom. You can tell that they thought of mostly everything a woman needs... spray deodorant, hairspray, bobby-pins, cotton, cotton tips, body spray and even tampons! It's the little things that impressed me ;) If ever I could afford this place to have an event in, I would sure enough book this place. It's pretty awesome. read more

Beautiful venue! Pictures can't do it justice. Since it still has "church attributes" (alter, pipe organ, stained glass windows, decorative ceilings, tile inlays, bells, art, architectural elements, etc.), it is perfect backdrop for a wedding. It can be used for other large gatherings like business meetings, club gatherings, parties, etc. Your guests will be impressed! Parking is limited. Attendees may have to find parking on side streets or across the street at the casino. read more

The Bell Event Centre was the perfect place for our wedding reception! The brick courtyard was a gorgeous setting for our cocktail hour. The inside of the venue is absolutely stunning! So many elements of the old church offer such a breathtaking space. I felt that I needed to add very little decor of my own to the space as it was so lovely already. The light streaming through the stained glass windows was so beautiful. The candles at the table and up on the altar gave the space a golden glow throughout the whole night. The food was delicious and the wedding coordinators helped work with my florist, the DJ, and the bakery. Our coordinator, Emily, was amazing to work with during the wedding planning process. She was so responsive and helped take care of every single detail. The wedding day ran so smoothly in her hands! We could not have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend the Bell Event Centre as a beautiful venue with very capable staff. read more

I spent New year's Eve with friends here last night. I have attended other events in this beautiful space in the past. The building is an old church with many original elements still in place. I have been impressed every time I've visited. Last night was my first New year's party here. Everything was very well organized and thought out. The decorations were beautiful. Food was great and little details like popcorn and doughnuts were a plus for me. The theme was a carnival type atmosphere with jugglers, a palm reader and acrobats. The music and entertainment were great. My only suggestion would have been for more seating. We arrived very early and were able to get a table but there were 300 guests and seating for only half. Even though it was a party, people, especially ladies, want a seat to rest their feet and leave a purse. read more

In 2012, I shot two weddings at the Bell Event Centre (June and November). I was SO excited to finally photograph a wedding at this amazing venue - and let me say, I was NOT disappointed. Everything was perfect, perfect, perfect. The first wedding was in June, and they had everything at the Bell. The staff is amazing. I was just a vendor, but they even made me feel like a guest! They are professional, polite, courteous - I can't say enough about what a great job they all do. The food at both weddings was SO good. I was lucky enough that both brides insisted we eat, so they even had a table for us. Both meals were delicious. In both cases, I felt like I was dining in an upscale restaurant - versus being at a wedding venue. As for the building - this is just a cool venue. It's hard to compare to anything, because it's so unique. I suggest a DJ who can do some cool up-lighting - which both my brides had. And go outside - for my November wedding, we did some shots outside by the brick wall and the little park across the street. Definitely go up to the balcony for photos - tell your photographer to get out their fish eye, too! In summary, this venue is just GORGEOUS and gets five stars when it comes to staff, food, coolness, etc. LOVE IT! read more

The Bell Event Center was the picture perfect package for our wedding. It is an old church turned into an event center. The staff is excellent and the food served was delicious. There are many food and drink packages to pick from. It is not your typical blain wedding food, their appetizers are gourmet, even the cheese tray is upscale. The main dish and drinks were all upscale. I really can't say enough wonderful things about the staff service environment and our special day here. People still tell us how it is their favorite wedding venue, they have been. My pictures are breath taking. I was so happy with everything provided by the staff! read more

Bell Event Centre - Our wedding - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

It's sad to say such a wonderful place and venue the experience was ruined by the staff. We booked this venue last year and defiantly were blinded from beginning. We were set to meet up with a coord names Josh and he's was not experienced enough for this position, but he was let go by the company with in the year of our planning. So at this time we got switched between whoever was left. Finally I got placed with a coordinator named Kelsey ( the only person who was personably and seemed to care about a vision for a wedding). She seemed to be great and understand what we wanted. but unfortunately we got moved to someone else and I was told by Sarah Hicks we would bet the best service as all the best of the best would be present for our wedding... That was a joke, I maybe seen my coordinator three times the whole night, at rehearsal everything was decent, we had timing together and everything for our entrance and of course wedding day had a whole different person and messed it up. We also did not know the Bell Center is not owned by who we were renting from it's owned by someone else and they TOOK OUT THE BELLS!! and didn't let any of us know. I was also upset when the staff broke some of my decorations I made because they couldn't figure out how to turn them on when I showed Sarah previously. We paid for extra time at the venue and paid for the bar to stay open. at 8pm the bar closed down and we count even get water and was suppose to be open till 10pm. My husband said something about it and Sarah said she would check into it but I doubt she did. They also lost a remote to my flameless candles, we did decided to leave a bit early but it's okay the venue made sure to take the $1,100 as a profit after they charges over $20,000 for the night. I still don't understand how they can get away with charging children for alcohol but they do! over 6 you get charged for alcohol! My photographer was amazing and actually helped me almost all night compared to my coordinator. My friend got married at this venue and we had different experience by far I guess it's all who you deal with if I could recommend not Sarah. Literally the company needs better organization and communication. read more

Just astounding. I was fortunate enough to attend a wedding reception at the Bell Event Center on New Year's Day. The building is phenomenal-- an old church turned reception hall, with full pipe organ and beautiful bells throughout the space. Gorgeous, austere, and dark (but not somber). A very classy place. Also, they have their own (albeit small) parking lot, which is important because much of their parking has been eaten up because of the casino construction across the way from the event center. read more

What a gem in the city of Cincinnati! The Verdin Bell Event Centre right in OTR just off Reading/Central parkway is a perfect location for your next event.The Verdin Company, who makes bells and clocks for public spaces all over the world, took over this space an old church where their HQ are located in the 80's. I attended the Clay Alliance's annual event Empty Bowls last weekend, which is a great space for you to select a handmade bowl, check out a clay building demonstration, purchase some great bargains at the seconds table and enjoy a bowl of soup in a beautiful space. I could sit there for hours looking at the stained glass windows and all of the historical decor in this amazing space. If you're looking for a great event space with history and character in the heart of OTR, look no further than the Bell Event Centre. read more

Bell Event Centre - Catering a gelato bar and Gelato Donut Sandwiches to a beautiful wedding this evening! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Beautiful place for a wedding reception! Candles glowing everywhere, stained glass on the windows.. just perfect! After the ceremony guests are invited out on to the patio while the room is transformed for the reception. Even with a July wedding the patio was kept cool in the shade with a nice breeze. The turnaround was impressively quick! My only slight beef was with the sound system - the acoustics were terrible in there and people had trouble hearing the speeches! read more

WHOA! What a surprise! If you have never heard of the Bell Event Centre before it is located on Pendleton right across from the casino and back a bit off the road. This is an event space, wedding venue, social venue or even corporate event space. I love that this is not like most places. It is not a square box with white walls. This is an absolutely stunning floor to ceiling incredibly beautiful space. Not sure if it used to be an old church, I believe so. It has great stained glass elements and that gothic feel. I've seen some wedding photos from this place and with the right lighting it just sings! Not literally, but that would be cool. If you are looking for unique event space with a killer location--this is one of your best bets. read more

Very pretty venue. Has a mix of old cathedral type architecture with the retro industrialism of bells and clocks. Super expansive inside, although it seemed the front patio wouldn't hold more than 200 people. Either way they are both covered from the rain which will be a plus for those random storms. One thing they gotta fix is the smell just coming into the main area. It has an old preservative smell which although seems rustic it's rather detracting from a wedding experience. read more

Bell Event Centre - View from mid left of main room - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Talk about diamond in the rough! Most people don't know about this place, but they surely need to. This is a perfect venue for a wedding offering a type of "all inclusive" experience you won't find many places. They have an amazing chef in house, Jason Campbell, who is also the executive chef over at The Incline Public House in Price Hill. They offer both buffet and plated dinners and seat about 300 guests maximum. In addition to amazing chef they offer a full service staff to meet all of your needs from planning to day of. Amy, Maddie, and Brooke go above and beyond to make sure that everything is perfect. They provide linens, tables, chairs, and all items needed to serve your guests. There are two bars tucked away in each of the back corners of the room with coffee stations located on each side. During the warm months cocktail hour is located outside, in their large courtyard. You can also opt to rent a tent in case of unpredictable or sour weather. The architecture is to die for! No need for extravagant(and expensive) decor in a room that offers so much character. While the numbers may scare you at first for an estimation of your event, considering all they have to offer is the key. The less people you have to contact to get everything together for your big day will lessen your stress immensely. Know what you want, and leave the stressing up to them. You will not be disappointed! read more

We had both our ceremony and reception at Bell Event Centre and I cannot say enough good things about the entire staff, especially our coordinator, Lori. Lori was extremely easy to work with, organized, and responsive. Every member of the staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. Besides mentioning the obvious beauty of the venue, our guests even commented to us about how awesome every team member that worked there was. I am someone who worries about every detail, and I felt at ease on my wedding day knowing that they had everything covered. read more

I was a guest at a wedding. Beautiful venue! But the layout was weird where the only entrance and exit I saw was by the alter so being a guest I thought it was weird coming in from the "front". My biggest complaint was the sound! I've known the groom and his family forever they are loud people! I was sitting 5th row and couldn't hear his vows or his brother's speeches. Sound just got lost in that big ol church. It was disappointing that I drove 5 hours to be there and missed what was being said because the sound check was bad. Definitely wish they mic the couple during the ceremony. Food was great, space was beautiful, shuttle to the hotel was awesome! And that one lady bartender was awesome she knew what I was drinking every time I showed up! Overall positive experience. Just now going to ask for copies of vows and speeches. read more

I recently photographed a wedding at the Bell Event Centre and was very impressed with the venue and staff. The building is beautiful and full of lots of things to photograph from the stained glass, architecture, patio, vaulted ceilings, and more. Maddie- their coordinator was very knowledgeable, super sweet, and great to work with. They were very flexible about photographing the space and let me move about the venue freely which is really nice when photographing a wedding. For all bride's considering this venue I would recommend it for sure! There are plenty of spaces to get ready with lots of little extra rooms-and the patio\outdoor area is perfect for family formals, bridal party photos, etc. My group even went out back and did a playful shot on the swings. This venue is a great option for mixing historic\grand architecture and urban\downtown cityscapes. read more

Built in 1850, the Bell Event Centre was originally St. Paul's Church featuring vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows, hand-painted murals, marble, and terrazzo flooring. In the 1970s, the church was abandoned then later purchased by The Verdin Company, North America's oldest bell and clock manufacturers. The Verdin Company is also native to Cincinnati and has been around since 1840. Five generations of Verdins collected dozens of antique bells and clocks, all of which became displays inside Bell Event Centre. The facility is absolutely gorgeous; a photographer's dream. Outside includes a cobblestone courtyard which works perfectly for the hors d'ouvres hour between weddings and receptions. Bell also has separate rooms at opposite ends of the building for the bride and groom to get ready separately. There is seating for 350, custom arranged for large or small numbers of guests. The alter in the main room was covered with numerous candles, creating a romanticized gothic glow. Murals on the ceiling and tile mosaics on the floor make this space a sight to behold from head to toe. After the ceremony, event staff transforms the space into the dining room for the reception, complete with wooden dance floor. The set up matched the bride's theme perfectly while still looking complimentary to the historic space. There is also a chef in-house to provide catering. The event organization went very smooth. Amy, the event manager, coordinated everything perfectly. Ushers took guests to their seats gracefully while arriving guests queued in the courtyard. This allowed for an elegant seating process without guests standing around gawking and talking. Musicians, video, and photographers were all informed when the bride was ready to make her entrance. All of the bridesmaids and groomsmen were cued harmoniously. After the ceremony, Amy helped wrangle family members for pictures and kept everything running on track with set up for the reception. A complimentary gated parking lot in front of the venue makes access easy for guests. A security guard is stationed at the lot at all times. Having both filmed and attended many weddings, this was by far the smoothest execution I've ever seen. If I need a fancy venue for a celebration, Bell Event Centre will be at the top of my list. read more

We had our wedding reception here, and I can't say enough about how wonderful it was!!! The staff was exceptional, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere is so unique. Our guests are still raving (9 months later) about how beautiful the place is and how delicious the food was! We could not have been happier choosing this venue. Their prices are on par with most other places, but the delicious food puts them above everyone else. The outdoor courtyard is just an added bonus. We got married in April, and the temperature inside was beautiful. Candles were provided by the staff (for free!!) and we hardly did any flowers or decorations. We had space for a band and a giant dance floor, and it didn't feel tight at all with 200 guests. It also didn't feel empty. If you are looking for a wedding venue, you have to check out this place!!! read more

So, this review is hard for me to write. I attended a wedding at the Bell several years ago and fell in love with its romantic charm. That was why it was the only place I considered having my wedding. Up until the day of the wedding I would have rated this place a 5. Our coordinator, Maddie, was great to work with and the whole staff was very attentive throughout our year of planning. It wasn't until the day of the wedding that things didn't quite go as we had hoped, and to make things worse, it was the way that the staff went about handling it afterwards that left a bad impression on me and my family. First: We had issues at the cocktail hour with food not being replenished at all, until my mother found someone on staff and told them to get more cheese/fruit. I had several family members looking for food and couldn't find any. By the time they came back out, everyone was already headed back in for the reception. So, all the food we paid for was wasted. When it came to the hors d'oeuvres, a guest was trying to track down someone for my dad - the FOB, who was hungry and had yet to see anyone. We even paid extra per person to add an hors d'oeuvres b/c we wanted a lot of food at cocktail hour as my family does not drink...I would recommend spending money elsewhere to meet your minimum. Second: At the tasting our beef was cooked medium rare but was very much on the rare side, so I asked if it could still be cooked medium rare, but closer to medium than rare. Our coordinator said all they would do is keep the meat in the oven for an extra minute. Great!!! Except that wasn't what happened. They tampered with the temperatures of the ovens (which they told us they did) and as a result all the beef ended up well done - with guests that literally could not chew it. Even my husband - the groom, didn't eat his beef. So disappointing - especially when so many reviews talk about how great the food is here. For future brides, take pictures of what goes wrong...because it becomes your word against theirs and despite them saying any feedback on their service is welcome, they will argue with you and defend what they did. The meat was overcooked - end of story. Third: We paid for amazing BonBonerie cupcakes for the wedding dessert and guests took them, as well as other dessert, back to their tables, left the plates there and would go to dance. Upon returning to their tables, full dessert plates were thrown away. Money in the trash! While I appreciate that they wanted to clean tables off quickly, it was not ok to throw away untouched dessert. It seemed like no one from the Bell cared about our experience at all and continued to say that they were happy with the service they provided. I expected better service than this, especially for what we paid. More importantly, I expected a place like the Bell to apologize for the fact that we didn't get what we paid for. Unfortunately, I would NOT recommend the Bell for your big day. I hope this review helps someone who is considering this place for their wedding. read more

this place really is awesome. i have been here from fundraisers, christmas parties and 2 drop inn center galas. classy, great catering and gorgeous. if i had more money i would have all of my parties here. love it. read more

I can't say enough about how great our experience at the Bell Event Center was in December of 2013. This beautiful and elegant old church really resonated with my daughter and her fiancé. The decision to hold their wedding and reception there practically made itself, but the lovely and romantic space was only the beginning. From booking through the day of the event, the entire staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. They honored every request we made and completed each one to the last detail. There was no question they couldn't answer and their suggestions were extremely helpful. I had no need of a wedding planner because the staff is so professional and detail oriented. These people really know what they are doing. The food was incredibly good. The duet plate of a chicken and beef entree was of excellent quality, expertly prepared and beautifully presented. Our guests really enjoyed the appetizers and meals and made it a point to let us know. Thanks to The Bell Event Center for making our daughter's wedding such a memorable occasion. read more

Completely breathtaking! The space itself stands on its own beauty, staff was amazing, food delicious, drinks...yes please! The wedding was a good friend of mine and from her comments she said they were even moreso a pleasure to work with. read more

Gorgeous! Beautiful, fabulous, wonderful, romantic, pristine, and such a surprise! I had NO idea this was here and I love checking out the beautiful places in downtown Cincinnati. We were there for a friends daughters wedding. It was awesome! The service, the food, the candles, the ambiance, all of it! Superb! read more

Let me start out by saying... BOOK IT. The Bell does everything for you..helps with EVERYTHING. Let me say it again... BOOK... IT! They have a DJ service they work with, as well as a food vendor so you don't have to worry about those extra things. Lori, the provided/assigned planner, did SO amazing. She got us flowers and flower baskets for our last minute flower men(don't judge, it was amazing). She handled packing up extra meals for family who last minute didn't come because of COVID with ease and no complaint and offered the ends of the earth to us to help in whatever way she could. The communication and helpfulness and ease of working with the Bell is UNMATCHED. I would recommend this venue to everyone. Also, we have received a ridiculous number of compliments on our wedding. And it's all thanks to the beauty of the venue and the relaxed energy surrounding our wedding. We could not be more grateful for all involved! read more

The Bell Event Centre is truly a beautiful place to hold a wedding ceremony/reception. As soon as my daughter visited the Bell, she knew this was the only place she could have her wedding. The look on the guests' face as they arrive is priceless. Everyone is left speechless by the beauty and ambience. We brought extra votive candles so the altar have more candlelight. We had to order a tent to cover the courtyard because of rain and a heater to warm it up. The appetizers that were offered by the servers for guests were cold. As the MOB, I was worried about everyone being taken care of, so by the time I wanted to find someone in charge, we were ready to go back in for the reception. The food was great, BUT, as soon as the last guest is getting their food in the buffet line, they are taking everything away. I realize that guests are not going to "graze" at the buffet, but as MOB, and the FOB, we weren't really able to eat much at all, and then everyone's plate in taken away. We missed the cake cutting, which I was very disappointed because we were trying to make sure the guests had eaten before all the food was completely removed. What I'm trying to say is, I feel the evening would have been so much more enjoyable if everything wasn't so rushed. I was offered extra time, which would have cost quite a bit, but the bride and groom were leaving and we really didn't think e would need it. But I feel with the cost of Bell Event, they should definitely consider lengthening their time they consider for a reception. 4 hours is a VERY short time to get the things done that are part of this special day, with eating dinner, cake cutting, dances, etc. We didn't even do speeches at the wedding because we were worried about time constraints!! Bell Event staff and management, please look at the time given for these events and realize it is not reasonable to think you can have a ceremony/reception and actually have the family and guests not feel so rushed and like they missed things along the way. Other than this, this is truly a magical place to hold a wedding. read more

I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Bell. I had my wedding there on Sunday 5/15/16 and it was amazing. Many guests commented that the food was the best they had ever had at a wedding. Everyone loved the venue and commented on the gorgeous decor. You really don't even need that many decorations. It is an old Catholic church that was turned into a Bell Museum and now is an events center. I was nervous because I was an out of town bride but Bell was really accommodating. Brooke was our day of coordinator and was superb. I never had to ask for anything. They are on point with the pre wedding organization and have everything planned out. They do all of the decorating and in house catering. Definitely a gem in terms of the venue and the people working there. Thank you Thank you Thank you! read more

We had our wedding reception at the Bell. Beautiful place, service was very good. Unfortunately since this is an old building, the A/C does not work properly, so beware if you are having a reception in the summer!! The temperature was 72 degrees plus during the reception, and we made several requests to the Bell team to cool the room, but unfortunately an old building, old A/C units, you can only do so much. October through April you should be okay. read more

We went to a wedding on Sunday morning 6/ 5/16 a wonderful brunch celebration! I agree with other reviewers that there was an industrial food smell that permitted the space. The food was good the space is glorious. The dj ended the whole afternoons dancing on a very awkward abrupt stop of a very good song. That's it!, he said. Thanks for coming, time to go. There could have been a better wind down for the guests. All in all a good time, but I felt rushed to move on. read more

Truly breathtaking. I was fortunate enough to have my wedding here. As every girl does, I dreamt of my wedding day since I was a little girl and this place exceeded all expectations.

If you want your wedding to go just how you imagined and planned it, then book here. You will not be disappointed. read more

If I wrote out everything I liked about this place, I'd be writing all day! We looked at several venues- this was the first one we visited and we knew it'd be perfect for our wedding- It fit our guest capacity, was within our budget, and was the exact feel we were going for. we had a winter wedding, so we had a ceremony and reception both indoors at this venue- The wedding coordinator they assigned to our wedding, Maddie, made our wedding day go exceptionally well- we didn't have a single hiccup (or at least if we did I didn't know it!) She checks in with you periodically throughout the night, making sure the night is progressing as you'd like and you have everything you need.Throughout the planning process, she was available to answer all my ?s via email, which I prefer since I cannot pick up the phone at work. The venue includes their own caterer, but we were not the least bit worried about that b/c the food had rave reviews- the food turned out to be delicious and many of our guests complimented us on how good the good was. The venue also included the whole staff, has a parking lot and the coordinator is also included. You really have very little to do in terms of the bare bones of your ceremony and reception. The uplighting is also included and makes the space so gorgeous - if youre going for a traditional feel without the church, this is the perfect place. Many of our guests gave us rave reviews and many more even said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. The way we had it set up was a ceremony and reception in the same room- with a cocktail hour between the ceremony and reception. Again, thanks to the staff , it was such a smooth transition. Many of our guests were out of towners and were very appreciative that the whole thing was all in one place- it leaves much more time for enjoying one anothers company! My husband and I had the greatest wedding day ever- we had much more time than I expected we would to just enjoy the day and enjoy each other, which is exactly what your wedding day should be. The place is beautiful, the food is great, and the staff takes care of everything so you can have a great, worry-free day! read more
