Grand Oaks Event & Business Center

Cori at Grand Oaks was very helpful and almost always responsive to our requests and questions! She helped a ton with planning, setting up services, and recommending vendors for florists, dj's, photobooths, etc. Our wedding was a challenge to plan because we live in New Jersey, but Cori went above and beyond to help make sure everything would run smoothly!

The only thing I was a little disappointed in was the prompt ending time of the reception. We had to delay the ceremony by about 15 minutes because a bunch of our family members were stuck in traffic, but the bar still closed at 8:30 on the dot (and the staff took my full glass of wine and threw it out, but they wouldn't give me a refill!). It would have been nice to have had an additional 15 minutes to enjoy ourselves at the reception.

Well, this was our first wedding and when we found Grand Oaks, that was it! Nothing else measured up in terms of surroundings (gorgeous), food (delicious), price (very reasonable), or ease (friendly competence). My husband and I wanted a nice event for our daughter, but we didn't want to go into debt for it. After pricing renting a room and getting a caterer, Grand Oaks came up right in line and they took care of all of the details! The owners, Peggy and Randy, are the kind of people who know what they are doing and I am sure we have made friends for life. Along with their staff, they made sure we knew the timelines, the choices, and they helped us plan the event the whole way. They have items to rent and Items to just borrow. (We even contributed our vases for the next family who might want to use them!) We were overwhelmed with the food. Our guests complimented every dish. It was delicious & fantastic! The staff was always pleasant and helpful, making me feel so proud to be the hostess! They had hors d'oeuvres waiting in the Bride and Groom rooms for the wedding party prior to introductions. The details were what amazed everyone. The owners and staff were available to us for questions throughout the planning and especially that night. We just simply enjoyed ourselves and accepted the praise! Our daughter and her husband had smiles on their faces the entire day. It doesn't get much better than that.

Grand Oaks Event and Business Center is one of the most beautiful and accommodating venues neighboring Columbus, Ohio. It is awesome for many reasons which include its beauty inside and out; various types of planner packages; close to the interstate for quick and easy travel; a very hospitable staff and more. My clients and all attending wedding reception guests were in awe with the "GO" combined with my works. As an event and party coordinator Grand Oaks Event Business Center is a coordinator's dream come true!

My husband and I selected Grand Oaks as our wedding ceremony and reception location out of several attractive options.
Grand Oaks has a spacious and beautiful location. Our family and guests were very impressed and had some really nice things to say about Grand Oaks.

The service was excellent. My husband and I were able to enjoy our wedding day and focus on our guests and ourselves. The Grand Oaks crew helped the evening go very smoothly. They worked very well with all our vendors, and treated our families and guests with warmth.
We also ended up using several vendors recommended by Grand Oaks. We were very happy with these vendors, as well.

My husband and I found the Grand Oaks staff and management to be a delightful group to work with. Cori Rapp, Peggy Mosher and everyone else at Grand Oaks helped make our wedding day a very memorable experience for all.

Grand Oaks is the place to get married at and to have a reception. The staff was awesome and very personable. They helped my husband, mother and I throughout the duration of planning, We were searching high and low for the perfect venue that had a nice staff and amenities, I googled reception venues and saw Grand Oaks. The pictures were breathtaking. We had to see this place that noone has mentioned, We booked and appointement and saw the venue in person and from there it was history. It made me feel like a princess, with the swag ceiling decor, the crystal chandelier spacoius parking lot and dining area, very nice bathrooms and they even give you an option to set up games on the outside patio so the guest would not be confined to one room. Also, you do not have to worry about sharing your day with other brides at this venue, This is a very private and seccluded venue This is a must see. Haley was our first contact at Grand Oakes and Cori took it over from there. Cori was awesome and I was so glad to know that she has had experience with all types of brides. I know it can be challenging, but she (the staff) handled it in a professional manner. I am pleading if you are looking for 'the' perfect venue, choose Grand Oaks, Also, the caterer, Simply Delicious is super awesome, Ther staff was friendly and personable as well. I would highly recommend Grand Oaks and Simply Delicious. If we have another event, we will choose Grand Oaks and Simply Delicious.

We are glad to have found The Grand Oaks. Everyone was great to work with and the wedding ceremony/reception ballroom was beautiful! Much thanks for all your hard work and for sharing in our special day.

Grand Oaks is a great place for a wedding reception! Ours was wonderful! I continue to get comments from family and friends how great the reception was. Grand Oaks provides a beautiful and elegant location with unique amenities (cornhole, big screen, putting green, etc) to keep your guests entertained until the wedding party arrives, and even afterwards! All staff were extremely helpful and great to work with. Thanks, Grand Oaks, for helping us making beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!

Grand Oaks is a beautiful facility! The staff are all very nice and helpful! Cori is awesome and very quick to respond with any questions that I had! Everything was amazing and went smoothly and I could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding! It was everything I had dreamed of! Thank you grand oaks!

Excellent! Grand Oaks is a beautiful facility with excellent staff! When I walked into the banquet hall completely decorated the morning of my wedding, it took my breath away. The morning of my wedding, there was a 50% chance of rain until 30 minutes before the ceremony started. The owners held off on pulling the wedding inside (even though they are supposed to make the decision at 8 am) until just before guests started arriving so we were able to have our wedding outside in the gazebo. Everything was absolutely beautiful, and the staff made the day go by smoothly. The only downside is that it is a rather expensive venue, but in my opinion, completely worth it!

As the mother of the bride stress is a must! I have three daughters and this was my last to get married. I have to say each time we used different venues and Grand Oaks was by far the best price and the best quality of service. The venue is beautiful and the staff is friendly and professional. It was so nice to have someone in charge besides me! They had everything running so smooth! I want to thank them for everything, and the wonderful help they gave us. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a venue. I know from experience that it is by far the best venue I have ever been to and had the wonderful opportunity to work with!

Grand Oaks Business & Event Center is the best venue in Central Ohio! The facility is absolutely stunning and the owners and staff is first-class. Our daughter's Wedding & Reception was held there on July 7, 2012 and was absolutely beautiful! Peggy and Randy was there for us every step of the way. They made us feel like a part of their family and made this a very special day for our daughter. From the moment our guest arrived they did everything to make them feel welcome and their hospitality is like no other. Many of your family and friends said that this was the best Wedding that they have every attended. We highly recommend Grand Oaks for any of your event needs.

The venue is beautiful, everything about it is the bomb I couldn't of picked a better spot for our ceremony and reception. All of our guests kept asking us where you find this place at. Lol! We are very satisfied with their services from Grand Oaks and we recommend the place to EVERYBODY!!

It would be hard to imagine a more beautiful venue for our daughter's wedding. The Grand Oaks staff took care of all of the details and were flexible with liquor package changes we wanted to make.

If you live in the central Ohio area this is the place you want to have your wedding or any other event. This was my first time getting married and I had no idea where to start. The owners Peggy and Randy Mosher and my event coordinator Cori Rapp were amazing helping me with every little detail. They truly made us feel like we were a part of their family. We could not have picked a more beautiful place to have our wedding.

We highly recommend Grand Oaks for your wedding venue. The facility is spotless and well thought out, the catered food was delicious, and the staff bends over backwards to help. We feel so lucky that we found Grand Oaks (by accident) for our daughters wedding. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. They're a hidden treasure. Check them out and I'm sure you'll agree.

Grand Oaks was a fantastic place to get married! As the groom, I wanted to have somewhere nice but fun for friends and family as well. We used the outdoor space with the Gazebo to hold our ceremony and it was beautiful! they also have a mic and speaker system outside for use. They provide nice wooden chairs to be used so there's no hassling with multiple rental companies. With weather as a concern, there is a nice area inside to have as a backup. There is also a putting green and cornhole boards available which everyone had fun with! There are very nice rooms for both the bride and groom (and wedding party) to get ready and relax in. The hall for the reception is gorgeous and there is a dance floor with some color wash and sound activated LED lights. There are drop down screens that can be used but disappear cleanly when not used. The staff was fantastic and help make sure that every detail has been thought of and planned. Overall just the best experience that we could have asked for with our wedding. It seems that Grand Oaks thought of everything when it comes to making your wedding day perfect!

FYI, we used AddVision Photography who has shot here many times and know just what pictures to take, great photographers!

All of my dreams came true when i found Grand Oaks. It was the best day of my life and they made sure it was everything i had hoped for and more. The owners, Peggy and Randy, are wonderful. Cori, my event coordinator was always cheerful, easy to be reached and very helpful. My wedding went so smooth, I don't have one complaint! If you are looking for a formal elegant wedding, the grand ballroom is absolutely gorgeous. If you are looking for an outside wedding, with the gazebo and their beautiful landscaping, they can accomodate that as well. I would recommend Grand Oaks to anyone and everyone!!

We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at Grand Oaks in May, 2012 and absolutely loved it! It was everything I have ever dreamed of and the staff helped make it happen. The staff is all very friendly and helpful. The facility is beautiful and very convenient with plenty of parking and space. I had multiple compliments on the facility on how nice and pretty it is. The set up of the building is everything you need for a wedding/ceremony in one place. We had our ceremony outside around the gazebo, the landscaping looked very pretty in the background of the pictures! Knowing that there was always the back up option of having the ceremony inside in case of bad weather was such a relief. Everything went very smooth thanks to the staff there. After taking the tour of Grand Oaks I had no desire to look at any other venues because I knew it was the one. I definitely recommend Grand Oaks!

The Grand Oaks was a wonderful place to hold a wedding and reception. It was a one stop venue which made it so easy for everyone. Cori was great to work with and really helped us along the way. I highly reccommend the Grand Oaks to host your wedding or any business event.

The owners are great and easy to work with. They helped make things so easy for us and even to help guide us through the process. Very helpful!

My wedding turned out perfect thanks to the Grand Oaks Staff, they were there to help me every step of the way. The venue is amazing and I recieved a million compliments on how everything turned out on Our special day. All my needs and wants were found in Grand Oaks and it couldn't have been more beautiful. They truly took care of everything and made sure everything was perfect. Grand Oaks is a place where all your dreams come true.

After 1.5 years of engagement, my fiancé and I decided to tie the knot on Sunday, April 15th 2012. As we planned our wedding, we always knew that 1) we wanted an outdoor ceremony, and 2) we wanted both the reception and ceremony to take place at the same venue. As we began our venue search, we quickly realized that while there are numerous venues in the Central Ohio vicinity, few served to meet our needs while staying within budget.

I found Grand Oaks Event and Business Center while searching through venues on weddingwire.com. I had previously found a venue in Gahanna that my fiancé and I fell in love with. However, after nearly 2 months of speaking with this venue, they informed me that my date was “already booked” about 30 minutes after I sat with the manager and paid the deposit! They said that they did not check the calendar, and accidently overbooked, which immediately proved they were unorganized. I was devastated, knowing that I had to start from square one. When I found Grand Oaks, Haley Bateson, my event Coordinator, scheduled me to tour the venue on a late Thursday (which was perfect for my work schedule). Although I ran a bit behind, Haley remained extremely cordial, professional, and enthusiastic. Haley’s demeanor and positive attitude instantly sold me, in addition to the PERFECT setting of Grand Oaks. If you are looking for a venue that is undeniably personal, affordable, and built to dine Kings and Queens, you do not need to look further than Grand Oaks! Needless to say, it is not just the breathtaking and exquisite scenery and greenery of the venue that sold us. Throughout my 7 months of working with Grand Oaks, I developed an amazing respect for EACH AND EVERY employee of Grand Oaks, including the owners, Randy and Peggy. Half-way through my planning, we found out that not only were we expecting a great wedding, but we were also expecting our first baby together. One can’t imagine the pressure of planning a wedding AND planning for a newborn! Nevertheless I can honestly say that Haley and the Grand Oaks crew made planning my wedding stress free, enjoyable, and undeniably worth all of my hard work planning.

In terms of the venue itself: it is set and built for Kings and Queens! The outdoor setting features an oversized patio with a beautiful fireplace for evening weddings, and Grand Oaks provides games for children and guests during cocktail hour (corn hole, golf-putt, etc). Additionally, the Bridesmaids Suite and Groom’s rooms are perfectly spaced for large bridal parties (our bridal party was 16 deep!), and they even provided complimentary Champagne (non-alcoholic for me and baby, of course) for relaxation prior to the wedding. There is a piano that is programmed to play specific varieties of music for the cocktail hour, which also saves the expense of paying extra for a band. There are also flat screens throughout the venue for slideshows and pics to be played during the reception. The grand ballroom is perfectly lit and spaced for a large number of guests, and when completely decorated, words can’t describe how superb and personable this room becomes.
For the money you would spend at other venues, Grand Oaks, I found, provided the absolute best value and package options to make a perfect wedding date. There were NO hidden charges: everything was disclosed to us upfront, and each time a change was made, Haley emailed me an updated invoice which allowed me to track my wedding expenses a lot easier. Additionally, I loved how Grand Oaks provides a wide variety of Caterers to choose from so that you are not restricted to one Company. There are add-ons (for lighting, decorations, table settings, etc.), but what I loved about the add-ons is the more you add, the bigger discount you received which also lightened our wedding expense.

I can honestly say that NOT ONE day passed where I was stressed about the planning process. Haley and Grand Oaks literally took care of EVERY single detail of my wedding: I simply provided my vision. Haley remained in direct contact with me, even when she traveled to Florida to participate in her friend’s wedding. In her absence, Cori stepped right in and I never felt like I was alone in this process. I even received personal emails from Haley that were totally unrelated to the wedding, just to check on me and my unborn child. Together, Haley and the Grand Oaks crew absolutely PERFECTED my wedding day from Day 1. On the day of the wedding, I arrived early to make sure everything was set in order. The only problem was, THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for me to do! I dropped my decorations off on Saturday, and the following day of my wedding, Sunday, the outdoor setting was flawless: beautiful green landscaping, chairs set up perfectly, and the gazebo was beautifully decorated with the décor my mother provided. Grand Oaks tracked the weather the week before, and Haley updated me with back up plans in the case of rain, which was extremely re-assuring. Another thing I loved about Grand Oaks is that it was not just Haley that made my planning process stress-free. Every member of the Grand Oaks team GENUINELY cared about my ceremony and reception, and they were ALL present to ensure that every single detail was flawless. If there was a hiccup on my wedding day, I still don’t know about it, because both Haley and Peggy refused to interrupt my day with little distractions. Even after the wedding, I continued to receive emails about my baby, the honeymoon, and a beautiful card and wedding gift from the Grand Oaks team. There are no words to describe my sincere gratitude to Grand Oaks: they have an absolutely remarkable team, and their working dynamics are absolutely incomparable: good luck finding it anywhere else!

As a control freak and perfectionist, I spent every day in a nine-month time period planning the details of my own wedding; from the bridesmaid and flower-girl dresses to the save the dates and invitations. We even made the centerpieces and bridal bouquets, and thanks to Grand Oaks, none of my hard work was done in vain. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Haley Bateson, Cori, Peggy and Randy, and anyone else that represented Grand Oaks. My family raved about the beauty of Grand Oaks, and because Grand Oaks is relatively new compared to other aged venues, not many people know about it. So I HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone reading this review to book a tour with Grand Oaks if you are searching for a venue that is affordable, PERFECT for outdoor/indoor ceremonies, and are looking to work with a group of individuals who are willing to accommodate you in every possible way to make your wedding day perfect and unforgettable. THANK YOU GRAND OAKS!

Loved this venue. They were so accomodating to our every need. Couldn't of asked for more!

Grand Oaks is a 5 star venue. The facility and the staff were awesome. The grounds and facility are perfect for photo opps and the staff attended to our every need. All the amenities, from the Bride's private dressing room, the men's lounge, and restrooms with lounge areas were immaculate and impressive in decor. I would highly suggest this venue, and I thank them for making my daughter's wedding reception something our family and friends will never forget.

Grand Oaks is a hidden gem located in Grove City. The venue was absolutely beautiful and it exceeded all of our expections. Our reception was amazing and I wouldn't change a thing. The owners Randy and Peggy are wonderful and you can tell they really care about the success of their venue. I would highly recommend Grand Oaks to any future bride!

Was an absolutely perfect place for a wedding and reception. The establishment and staff are amazing.

We feel that our overall experience at/with Grand Oaks was nothing less than perfect. Our event planner connected us with all of the right people. Great experience does not require a wedding planner. The staff at Grand Oaks went above and beyond to create an intimate evening. Would use them again without reservations.

I don't even know where to begin when it comes to how wonderful Grand Oaks is. We booked our October wedding there in August 2010 before they were open. From the moment I met Peggy and Cori (the coordinator) and saw the location, I knew I was done looking for a venue. The decor is simple but elegant. There are so many little things that they thought of. When we were taking our tour, we were "ohh-ing and ah-inh" at the bathrooms and coat closet. Cori was absolutely amazing. She was always prompt about answering all of my questions and was always a pleasure to work with. Come time for our wedding, my now husband was shocked about how awesome Cori and Haley were and didn't realize all of the little things they do to make the entire day run smoothly. The location is great for an indoor or outdoor wedding and the ballroom is stunning! I can't thank the grand oaks staff enough for making and running such a perfect wedding venue. They helped make my wedding day everything I had hoped it would be and more!

Owners are very nice people. Drink packages are quite expensive. Facility brand new and very nice.

Grand Oaks is simply amazing! We went to visit and once we took a tour, we left to go to the next venue on our list, then quickly turned around to book Grand Oaks before we lost it. We absolutely loved everything about Grand Oaks. The staff is incredibly helpful and sincere in their service! I love the fact that you actually work with the venue owners and that they are so involved in the process. We had such a great time at our wedding and everything was beautiful! If anything went wrong, we sure didn't know about it. We had several compliments on the decor and how wonderful everything was. We would not hesitate to suggest Grand Oaks to anyone. We couldn't be happier with our decision!!!

Most brides know that planning a wedding can be somewhat overwhelming. In August of 2010, we began to look for a venue for our September 2011 wedding. With every venue, we had our likes and dislikes. When we scheduled our appointment with Grand Oaks, we assumed that this appointment would turn out like all of the others before…leaving us wonder if we would ever find that place that we both loved. When we went to Grand Oaks for the first time, they had not officially hosted their first event. From the time that we arrived, Grand Oaks felt different than all of the other venues that we had visited. Rick and I met with the owners, Randy and Peggy Mosher. There were very kind, personable and willing to spend the necessary time with us to show us around the facility. After meeting with the Moshers, hearing their story as to how Grand Oaks came about and seeing all the details that made this venue unique…we knew that we had found the perfect place to host our wedding and reception. Shortly after signing our contract, we began the planning process with Grand Oaks. The event manager, Cori Rapp was a blessing over the next several months. She was there to help with all of the details to make our day perfect. Cori was there to answer any questions and was great with wedding advice. She was always very punctual and professional in responding requests or emails.

After a year of planning and working so close with the staff at Grand Oaks, it all came down to our wedding day on September 17th, 2011. Unfortunately, Cori was unable to be at Grand Oaks the day of our wedding; however this allowed us the opportunity to once again work with Randy and Peggy Mosher. As they were the first time we met them, the Moshers were wonderful that day. From our rehearsal that morning until the last guest left that evening, they did everything and more to help our wedding be a success. All of the details that had been so perfectly planned out came together beautifully. That evening, we had nothing but compliments from our family and friends about how perfect the day was! If I had to do it all over again, I would not change anything. Rick and I will always be thankful that we chose to host our wedding at Grand Oaks. All of the staff at Grand Oaks deserves to be recognized for the hard work they do each day to make every wedding special. We are grateful for all they did to make our day special.

Grand Oaks was everything we had hoped for in a wedding venue. Both ceremony and reception were in the same location. We were able to choose our own caterer, the staff is very professional. The owners put so much thought into everything when designing this venue. State of the art equipment, neutral colors, wall washing lights, beat responsive LEDs for the dance floor, gorgeous gazeebo etc. The best quality and value for the price. All our guests couldn't stop raving about the venue we chose. Everything was perfect for our special day.

I spent a year planning my wedding and Grand Oaks was the first venue we looked at, and we fell in love. Through-out the entire year I had questions, concerns and decisions that needed made and Grand Oaks was right by my side to help. I emailed Cori a lot, and her responsive time was always quick. Even though they have a wedding or two every weekend, every time I was there I felt special and as if my wedding was their primary concern. Our wedding and reception were absolutely perfect, and for what we paid for.... the experience and memories were priceless :)

Grand Oaks is so beautiful. I received so many compliments about how wonderful it was. I would definitely recommend Grand Oaks. You will definitely not be disappointed. The staff is awesome and I couldn't imagine having my wedding anywhere else.

My husband and I were extremely happy with Grand Oaks. My husband was in Iraq, I was attending the University of Cincinnati and my parents were in New Jersey, Cori and Peggy did an amazing job accommodating us when we needed something. On the day of the wedding they took care of everything from timing to the vendors. The venue is gorgeous and little decorations from your part are necessary. If you do choose Grand Oaks I would also recommend PC catering, who did a wonderful job.

We got married at Grand Oaks Event and Business Center on July 16, 2011. There has not been a day since then that we have not thought back to our wedding day with pure amazement at the perfection of the day. When I first began looking for venues, very few could accomodate my guest list. Grand Oaks could accomodate them for the wedding and the reception, and right away I could tell that the staff was very professional and comitted to making our wedding a dream come true. The facility is perfect for an elegegant and fancy wedding and reception. The staff is extremely accomodating to help make your day special. We have no regrets with selecting Grand Oaks as the cite of our special day because it was perfect in every way. I highly recommend this venue for everyone, so please check it out!

Our reception and wedding at Grand Oaks was phenomenal! It turned out beautifully, the staff was great and helped us with everything we needed. They are not real flexible with when your vendors can get in but otherwise everything worked out great!!

This event center is brand new and absolutly beautiful! From the first tour I knew this was the place. The place that in years from now I will look back on and know that we made the right decision for our wedding. When my husband and I were looking, a lot of the venues were very costly for the budget. This venue had it all across the board! With Grand Oaks we got to choose our own caterer, and make it exacily what we wanted for our special day! Not to forget the service that was provided with the venue was astounding! Never a empty glass! You need to get in and take a look for your self!!! :)

We just had our wedding at Grand Oaks on April 29, 2011 and thanks to the owners, Peggy and Randy, and our event manager, Cori, everything was perfect! Grand Oaks is beautifully designed, they really thought of everything when it was built. They have several chandeliers throughout the property, plenty of outlets in the bride's room and TV's in both the bride's room and the groom's room. There is even a huge private bathroom just for me! We viewed the facility before it was completely finished and fell in love with it! Everyone is very friendly, answering all of our questions and concerns. We planned our wedding from out of town with the help of my parents and everyone at Grand Oaks was very helpful, even when we would drop in unannounced while in town.

On the day of our wedding Peggy, Randy and Cori were there the entire day making sure that everything was set up perfectly. They were always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed and were calm.

I loved the entire experience with Grand Oaks and could not imagine having my wedding anywhere else! It is so beautiful and everything really was perfect!

Wedding planning can be so chaotic, but Grand Oaks Event and Business Center was the most soothing part to my wedding chaos. From the moment Jared and I walked into Grand Oaks, we knew it would be the place we would finally say “I do” at. From the owners to the planners and of course their event staff, everyone was so kind and enjoyable to work with. The entire staff ensured everything went so perfectly the day of the wedding. They accommodated for our large bridal party and 200 guests for the ceremony that was set up in front of the beautiful fireplace. The bridal entrance made you feel just like a princess. It was perfection. The reception was also set up to fit our large bridal party. It was absolutely gorgeous from the classic sleek look of the grand ballroom itself to the modern suspended ceiling with differentiating levels. Even the bathrooms were beautiful, my girls and I even took pictures in there! I would certainly recommend Grand Oaks to brides looking for a beautiful place with exceptional staff. It truly takes a load of the stress of planning.

I had a wonderful experience at Grand Oaks. I was actually one of the first brides to book the new venue before it was even built. I met with the owners at their home and decided it was for me just by looking at a blueprint and a 3D model. I got to see the venue as it was being built and once it was complete, it was everything I expected and more. The facility itself is absolutely gorgeous. The staff is wonderful; they make you feel like part of their family. We had an easy time planning everything with them from start to finish. The day of the wedding was ran so smoothly. They were there for anything that I needed and made sure everything was perfect for my special day. I couldn't be more happy. I have recommended this place to several people and will continue to do so.

Grand Oaks is a beautiful new venue in Grove City! I am so excited for the venue, its beautiful and modern! The owners are great, Grove City needed an awesome venue like this!
