4 Things we love about the junto hotel
We've had the pleasure of working with numerous exceptional wedding venues throughout Columbus, and it's always exciting when we find a location that genuinely stands out.

Together, these elements create an atmosphere of refined charm.
Adjacent to the ballroom, the Gathering Hall provides a cozy, lounge-like ambiance ideal for guest mingling and relaxation. With comfortable seating areas, soft lighting, and an inviting fireplace, this space offers a perfect setting for guests to unwind and socialize.
