The Dempsey Event Center is an absolutely gorgeous venue inside and out! You can't capture the beauty with just one photo because it is such a large property with so many different spaces for all kinds of events!I'm a DJ and musician that has worked at the Dempsey, and I've had a fantastic experience with the friendly staff and the way they do weddings. Lisa, the venue manager, is very experienced and genuinely cares that her clients are happy. Right now, it's kind of a hidden gem, but I'm confident this will soon be one of the most popular private event spaces in the Columbus area, so don't wait to book! Reviewed on 30-08-2023

This is the perfect location for any type of event. They hosted my daughters graduation party, and it was absolutely amazing. Lisa and staff went above and beyond to make the day so special. We brought in our own food, and they helped keep everything warm and available for the guests. Lisa provided many suggestions for decorations, room set up and arrangements that created the best atmosphere. Guests were so impressed with the venue and staff. It is a hidden gem. I cannot wait to hold my son’s graduation event there in two years. Hands down the BEST venue in central Ohio!!! Reviewed on 26-06-2023

The property is gorgeous and Lisa was so helpful and accommodating in preparing for the event.Our guests could not say enough nice things about the beauty of the property as we moved from the Patio to the Sanctuary and then to the Grand Hall.
