I joined the Columbus Gay Men's Chorus in 2019 as a member of the bass section. The chorus burst…read moreopen it's doors to inclusiveness and diversity within the TTBB voice range. Just when the new artisitic director was ready for his first show, the covid-19 pandemic happened, which brought show cancelations. During that time, chorus members believed in the importance of staying connected and to continue learning music. Members held game nights and the director held zoom meetings with guest speakers and music appreciation sessions. The director and board brought the members together again with strict CDC guidelines. Rehearsals took place in a parking garage and warehouse, leading to safely perform the 2020 holiday show virtually with recordings. The year was spent with us being the only GALA chorus performing with a positive Covid case. For the membership, there are no dues or auditions. One is not required to read music but the support of section leaders and all members, learning songs isn't cumbersome. Our motto is strongly practiced: Voices Raised Lives Changed. The 2021 Island Of Misfit Joys seems to be the best show yet by many audience members. The size of the chorus can range from 65-125 with ages from 18-99. The chorus has a main chorus and two ensemble sections. Illuminati is the Spiritual ensemble and VOX is an auditioning ensemble. All identities are welcome, accepted, and belong.

We used Matt Ryan DJ service for our wedding and could not have asked for a better DJ…read more First, we met with Matt Ryan to book the event. Considering the fact that my handsome husband does not always like the top forty stations, it is amazing he ended up walking out of Matt Ryan's office telling me that we had to go with him. He was very friendly, very reasonably priced for a travel DJ, and had a great playlist. We booked immediately. Then when it came to the month before the wedding we spoke with one of Matt's DJ's (Alex) who would actually be at our event). First we were a bit skeptical because we knew we wanted a great DJ and were not sure how experienced he would be. But, we didn't say anything and watched Alex's communication to see if he would be a good fit. Let me just say it worked out great. Alex was easy to talk to, great to work with, and never once made the process more difficult then it needed to be. Alex was on time to the event (he may have been early but with how busy we were I couldn't tell you when exactly he got to our wedding venue), was laid back and went with the flow, and most importantly he had everyone dancing and having a great time. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ. We would highly recommend them again!

Plenty of options from a la carte apps to dinner and apps to dinner, drinks, & apps, etc. For drinks, there are multiple options from sodas to wine/beer to wine/beer/spirits, to better spirits, you name it! Brian was responsive and the information packet he sent me had everything I would want to know (the food and drink options, venue pictures, cost, etc.). I asked if gratuity was included, and he confirmed it was added into all of the pricing. So, it was a really great option! I haven't reviewed places I haven't experienced, but we looked at quite a few venues, and I was really impressed by the quality of food and drinks, how beautiful the space was, and the price. It was the best venue option, in my opinion. So, I wanted to share! The only reason we didn't book Graystone is because one of my colleagues got too nervous about the little lead time we had & wanted something with live bar music for the younger folk, so he booked a grungy bar. The younger team wanted to karaoke (he didn't), and he knew that no one could karaoke if there was already live music & a venue available to the public, so here we are. Ha! Fingers crossed for next year.

Had my wedding at Bendora Wedding in Worthington, Ohio. Patti was pleasant to work with before and…read moreduring the wedding itself, and the venue is a nice small space for an intimate ceremony. Unfortunately, the experience after booking and after the wedding became frustrating, and several important issues were never properly addressed. The first issue was with the package pricing. We only had two guests attending my mom and sister. We were told we had to book the next package tier because the smallest package did not allow guests, which cost about $200 more. During the wedding, Patty mentioned that because we only had two guests, we actually could have used the smaller package with just a small additional fee. However, when I followed up by email afterward asking about this, she denied ever saying that. That was disappointing and felt dishonest. The second major issue involved the photographer. Patti forgot to inform the photographer that we were scheduled, so the photographer arrived about 1.5 hours late. Because of this, many important pre-ceremony photos including dress photos, ring photos, and other moments getting ready had to be taken on a phone instead of professionally. We paid a significant amount for photography, so this was extremely frustrating. The delay also caused the rest of the session to feel rushed. Communication after the wedding was also poor. We were never given updates on when to expect our wedding photos, and I had to send multiple emails asking about them. I was repeatedly told the gallery had already been emailed to me, but nothing was ever received in my inbox or spam folder. It took almost two more weeks of back-and-forth before I finally received the link. Overall, while the venue itself is decent for a small wedding, the lack of communication, scheduling mistakes, and refusal to acknowledge concerns left a very negative impression. I understand that mistakes happen, but the way these issues were handled afterward is why I cannot recommend this venue. There are many better options for couples planning a smaller-budget wedding.
