We had our reception at Willow in February. Drew was awesome to work with! He was very responsive and helped me keep track of everything before the big day. The dance floor was a huge hit and was busy all night long! I'd recommend this venue to anyone! - 6/21/2023 

Drew was amazing to work with! He was so friendly, quick to answer all concerns, and made me (the bride) feel special in making sure the night goes smoothly. The venue was a perfect size and had a huge dance and a beautiful gazebo! Loved that I was the only bride there. - 6/07/2023

Everything about our experience with Drew and the Willow Event Center exceeded our expectations. We toured probably a dozen different places for our wedding and nothing compared to this. From the moment we walked in the door we felt at home and welcome. Drew was kind and more than happy to help with our many questions, guiding us through the crazy process of planning our wedding. We were blown away by the scenic back patio during our tour, and the inside was modern and tasteful. The natural light from the many windows was something we hadn’t really seen in any of the other spaces we toured, even some at twice the price. Meeting with Drew during the planning phase was always pleasurable and easy. On the big day, Drew was there to make sure everything went smoothly. Willow Event Center should be at the top of your list if you are planning a wedding or any event. Do NOT overlook this gem on the West Side! - 2/21/2023 

Willow was the perfect venue! I knew it as soon as I walked in. It has an elegant but relaxed vibe. The back deck, gazebo, landscaping, and lush greenery (check out the willow trees!) is exactly what I was looking for to get married outside, but then we could come into a beautiful space for the reception! Drew and the Willow staff were great! 5 stars! - 2/21/2023 

I am absolutely in love with the place. I've been here twice to celebrate my cousin Jonathan's Wedding Anniversary parties. I waited too late to book for my birthday party. It's gazebo and garden area are spectacular! I would recommend this space with private parking to anyone looking for something special. - 2/21/2023 

A Lovely event space tucked away in a business area of town. Nice additional outdoor area. Large dance floor, plenty of parking, good decor. Serving area for the food was a bit tight and awkward flow for a large crowd. Set up for cutting and serving wedding cake was not efficient. - 2/21/2023 

Beautiful venue, we had a birthday party here. And it was lovely. Because of the rain we couldn't really ur the back patio. Everyone had a great time. We brought our own food in and used the kitchen. It is worth booking this place! - 2/21/2023 

Nice venue. However, the kitchen & bar staff was extremely loud during the wedding. I would think they would know to be quiet for 10-15 minutes out of respect, instead of laughing,talking & dumping ice. - 2/21/2023 

This place was awesome my brother got married there I felt like it was the best day of my life it was spectacular the place was beautiful on the inside and beautiful on the outside absolutely fabulous - 2/21/2023 

Drew is absolutely wonderful to work with. The place is beautiful and has a lot of nice space for taking your photos. We had an amazing time and our guests loved the setup of the venue as well! - 2/21/2023 

Wonderful venue for a very fair price! Drew is extremely helpful and thoughtful. He helps take the stress off you so you really can enjoy your special day. Can’t thank you enough! - 2/21/2023 

Came here for a wedding. The venue couldn't have been more perfect. Parking was plentiful and it's somewhat secluded. I would definitely recommend! - 2/21/2023 

The venue was very nice, but getting into and out of the parking lot in the dark was awkward. There should be lights in the parking lot. - 2/21/2023 

The venue was amazing with plenty of room and available parking. It's ideally located within the city which is a plus. - 2/21/2023 

Rehearsal day. Very eaay to work with team. Ran over a bit. If having an event, check this place out. - 2/21/2023

Had the ceremony and reception at the venue. It was a nice location with a beautiful outdoor section. Wish I could have had the wedding a little further in spring, but was still great in February. Drew was excellent to work with and was very helpful with any questions we had along the way. Although they require specific catering/cake vendors they were all excellent and no complaints! - 2/14/2023 

Bothwell Wedding Drew was a pleasure to work with from our first meeting until the last. The event center was very clean and well managed and offered ample parking. We hosted our cocktail hour, ceremony and reception at the location and it made it so much easier to plan and produce the type of evening that we desired. I will definitely keep Willow on my list of venue choice for other future events. - 10/04/2022

Loved the whole experience!! Drew was the best! We loved how flexible Drew was with dates since Covid put a pause on our original date. Very reasonable price for such a beautiful venue. Drew also helped ease a lot of worries and stress since I planned everything myself. If we were to do it all again I would still pick the Willow 💕 - 5/31/2022 

Amazing venue and very professional and welcoming venue owner ! - 5/31/2022 

Willow has everything you are looking for! It has an elegant, but relaxed vibe.

I just had my wedding there and I highly recommend the Willow. A big event like this can be stressful and hard but with Drew’s help that wasn’t the case. He is so helpful and kind! He really takes care of things and deals with the stress for you. Can’t thank him and the workers enough for the awesome time! - 4/28/2022

Willow Event Center is an absolutely exquisite space to get married. Our ceremony was held outside under the gazebo and we went inside for the reception. My guests kept gushing over how beautiful the space is, and they were right. From the magnificent willow tree, to the waterfall, to the decked out groom and bride's rooms, every square inch of this place is a beauty to behold. Drew and his staff made us feel comfortable and he was willing to go far and beyond to make my dream wedding come true. Don't look at any other space, Willow Event Center will meet all of your wedding needs. - 2/21/2022 

The Willow Event Center is a beautiful place at a reasonable price. The back of the venue is set up for great pictures for the bridal party. The owner Drew non-stop goes out of his way to help you through planning for your big day. Our caterer canceled on us a month before the wedding and Drew hooked us up with a caterer the same day for us. He made our wedding [erfect and he will for sure do the same for you. - 2/21/2022 

We had our reception at the Willow in October and I can’t recommend it enough. Great location, beautiful inside area, outside garden area, plenty of parking; it was perfect. Drew, the owner, is amazing and went above and beyond and was super helpful the entire way through. They also work with a lot of great vendors that I would totally recommend. We were more than satisfied. - 2/21/2022 

Drew is incredible! He hosted an event for us with over 160 people and it came off without a hitch. He has a beautiful garden, deck and gazeebo which makes for a perfect accent or event venue by itself. The food was great and his relationship with Cakes By Reva is an added bonus! Can highly recommend the Willow Event Center for your wedding or event. - 2/21/2022 

Willow Event Center was a beautiful place for our wedding. The outside gazebo suited our ceremony perfectly and the inside reception area is flawless.

I recently did florals for a movie premiere event at Willow Event Center. The staff was friendly, helpful and very supportive of our needs. The space was nice and clean and the updates to the space have proven to be worth their weight. It’s so much better! Fantastic job to the owner and staff. - 2/21/2022 

Was looking for a new indoor venue due to Cicadas outside and I was absolutely in love with the awesome venue for my sons surprise graduation party! Great picture locations, great atmosphere, great communication, great pricing. I will go back when I plan for my wedding - 2/21/2022 

Beautiful event space, Most of the staff was professional. However, I attended a wedding in 2010 and was physically assaulted by one of the male staff members (Big tall guy black hair/mustache) He was extremely rude. Hopefully they’ve gotten new management. - 2/21/2022 

It was very nice! A nice size for a party I think. And I really love all the parking space. May God bless the company with more business. And yes I will tell people about that place. - 2/21/2022 

The walls looked a lil cheap but everything else was beautiful, especially the sinks that glow when you use them. - 2/21/2022

The Willow Event Center is the perfect venue for any special occasion. About seven years ago I attended a wedding at this Event Center and I Loved it so much that I decided, right then and there that (if and when) I do get married, this will be the place. And guess what, a little over seven years later the Willow Event Center is where I had my Beautiful Wedding! The Willow is Beautiful and Eloquent inside and out. Also, Mr. Drew is there to help you with any and all of the needs for your event. The inside is equipped with everything you will need and the outside is Breathtaking !!

I toured probably every venue in Cincinnati and they where either way Over priced or terrible customer service. I started to give up but decided to tour one last venue and it was Willows event center. Not only was the venue perfect, drew was so nice, helpful and accommodating. Everything went absolutely perfect! I highly recommend touring this venue!! The girls and guys room to get ready in are so cute!!! The dance floor is big and the outside is so pretty for pictures! - 7/08/2021

After the craziness of covid has taken over, there were of course worries as to whether our event would occur. Drew Hester, the owner of Willow Event Center, couldn’t have been more accommodating to our ever changing plans. Drew communicated often and was fast to respond to questions that arose. His attentiveness made everyone involved feel that we were his number one priority. As for the venue itself, both exterior and interior, it is a bride and grooms vision come true. The neutral palette of colors, give room to unify the selections chosen for the wedding party. The back patio space is perfect for photos before, during, and after the wedding. My father opted for an indoor wedding due to the weather. Drew provided white fold out chairs and everything came together to look elegant and formal. Overall, we were so thrilled to have had the wedding and reception at Willow Event Center. I highly recommend this venue for any event in the future! Thank you for helping us with our vision! - 2/21/2021 

We had a very special surprise 40th anniversary party for our parents here. The place is beautiful and plenty of space. Drew was amazing in helping us with everything. He was so accommodating. I was struggling with some decisions and even knowing what all to have or do and he had great ideas. We absolutely loved the experience and space. We will be using The Willow again. I would totally give a 5, the only reason I didn't was our catering experience could have been a little better. I really don't feel as though that is because of The Willow. There are other caterers to choose from and even the one we used could be great. Some of the food was reqlly good but some was a little lacking so maybe it was just our choices. So I give a 4.9! - 2/21/2021 

Drew helped us throw an awesome wedding!!! The venue itself is very nice and has a great outdoor area for pictures. It is a big open space so even with a big guest list and photo booth it felt like plenty of room. Drew made sure the day went according to plan by communicating with our other vendors and making sure each person knew what they should be doing and when. The bartenders were awesome (as well as Drew when he was helping them). All of our guests had a great time and we’ve heard nothing but good things from our guests about the space and the employees. Would definitely recommend having a wedding or reception here! - 2/21/2021 

Drew was so awesome to work with, he was so kind to help us with any questions that we had and when it came to throwing our wedding reception at his venue.

Planning a wedding during COVID-19 was a challlenge but Drew helped take the stress of it all away! I could not have had a better experience than I did with Drew!!! The night of the reception was more than I could have asked for, Drew was very hands on the entire event!! Thanks Drew, you are TOP NOTCH! - 10/05/2020 

We had our ceremony and reception at Willow Event Center and it was an absolutely beautiful place! Drew Hester (owner) has done an amazing job creating a gorgeous place for events - not to mention he is incredibly helpful and responsive when it came to planning everything! All our guests were highly complimentary of the venue and set up - I would absolutely recommend Willow to anyone looking for event space in Cincinnati! - 9/30/2020 

We had our wedding reception at The Willow in August 2020(so yes during Covid!), and I could not be happier with the space and with Drew. It was a very stressful time, but Drew managed everything wonderfully. The space was gorgeous, inside and out. I loved the large dance floor, and the great outdoor space. - 8/26/2020 

After the craziness of covid has taken over, there were of course worries as to whether our event would occur. Drew Hester, the owner of Willow Event Center, couldn’t have been more accommodating to our ever changing plans. Drew communicated often and was fast to respond to questions that arose. His attentiveness made everyone involved feel that we were his number one priority. As for the venue itself, both exterior and interior, it is a bride and grooms vision come true. The neutral palette of colors, give room to unify the selections chosen for the wedding party. The back patio space it perfect for photos before, during, and after the wedding. My father opted for an indoor wedding due to the weather. Drew provided white fold out chairs and everything came together to look elegant and formal. Overall, we were so thrilled to have had the wedding and reception at Willow Event Center. I highly recommend this venue for any event in the future! Thank you for helping us with our vision! - 7/24/2020

I am Demetria owner of Ambiance Affairs LLC Drew was a blast to work with. He also assisted me in setting up ... Beautiful place for any event ... Ambianceaffairsllc@gmail.com - 6/24/2020 

We had a very special surprise 40th anniversary party for our parents here. The place is beautiful and plenty of space. Drew was amazing in helping us with everything. He was so accommodating. I was struggling with some decisions and even knowing what all to have or do and he had great ideas. We absolutely loved the experience and space. We will be using The Willow again. We were there in the winter so we didn't get to use the outdoor area but it seemed really nice and the pictures look beautiful. I would totally give a 5, the only reason I didn't was our catering experience could have been a little better. I really don't feel as though that is because of The Willow. There are other caterers to choose from and even the one we used could be great. Some of the food was reqlly good but some was a little lacking so maybe it was just our choices. So I give a 4.9! - 3/05/2020 

Absolutely perfect! The venue is beautiful and was the perfect spot for both our wedding ceremony and reception. Drew is so helpful and easy to work with! I can’t imagine us having our special day anywhere else! - 3/05/2020 

Words alone can not express how wonderful it was working with Drew at Willow Event Center. From day one of walking into the room I new this was the place for my daughters wedding. From the beautiful outdoor space with the Willow tress adding a great scenery. Drew was always helpful and answered all my questions at anytime offering suggestions and to make sure everything was perfect on the wedding day. Don’t hesitate and look any further give Drew at the Willow a call today. I look forward to working with him again on other events in the future. - 2/21/2020 

I had my wedding here and the space was absolutely beautiful! We had an indoor ceremony and reception with 200 people and felt we had plenty of space for it to run smoothly. Drew was also a huge help through the whole process. He was always responsive and helped me in the planning process as well. Would definitely recommend this place for future weddings and events! - 2/21/2020

Great venue for a wedding and Drew is great to work with! - 10/23/2019 

This is an amazing venue in a great location. Drew is great to work with. We had a charity Halloween dance there on October 12th and everyone loved the space. Everything was very clean and the attention to detail was very good. The bartenders were phenomenal as well. I would highly recommend Willow Event Center if you are looking for a place to host your event. - 10/16/2019 

Drew has been phenomenal in helping us through our entire planning process. From the first day that we walked into the venue, until now he has been extremely responsive and even reached out to check on us throughout the past couple of months. The renovations and work he has put into creating a beautiful space are amazing. We are so excited for our upcoming ceremony and reception and can’t thank Drew enough for providing us with an incredible space to have it. - 7/16/2019 

The Willow Event Center is the Perfect venue for a wedding reception. The renovations Drew has made are great! It looks really beautiful on the inside and outside! The deck and willow trees make are a really great place for pictures. Also, Drew has been so accommodating and super helpful with any questions or concerns that my mom and I have had during the wedding planning. Drew has a ton of connections in the wedding industry and will make sure all your needs are taken care of for your big day. I can't wait for our reception in September 🙂 - 6/27/2019 

I initially booked a different venue, but as soon as I saw the Willow Event Center I decided to change all of my plans - something that might seem chaotic for someone in the middle of wedding planning, but after working with Drew it has all been so easy and a breath of fresh air. The venue is at the center of it all - I have guests coming from all over the greater Cincinnati area (from West Chester, OH to Florence, KY and beyond) and the central location in Colerain is absolutely perfect! My favorite feature is the deck/gazebo with beautiful greenery surrounding it. Drew has been so easy to work with and has taken all of the weight off of my shoulders. He even has tons of connections with everyone from caterers to DJs and photographers... I don't know what I was doing before I met him and found this venue, but I know my life has become so much easier and now I will have the wedding of my dreams thanks to him. Definitely check it out - Drew has made so many wonderful updates and changes and has really created a truly beautiful space that you do not want to miss. - 6/16/2019 

A big THANK YOU to Drew at the Willow Event Center. I was working with Drew on a Corporate Event and had stopped by for a walk through, (we have used the location for the same event for the past few years, so I had been there before) as I walked in the doors I was blew away with all the updates and changes Drew had made to the venue. I was there on work, but my mind went to my daughter’s wedding I new right away this would be perfect location. Drew has been easy to work with providing his input for catering and has been there to help answer any questions with quick response with even the crazy questions. The Willow Event Center has everything you need from a beautiful outside setting to a magnificent indoor reception area with beautiful chandeliers to an open dance floor makes for the perfect location. Thanks Drew ! - 6/10/2019
