We had a wonderful experience with Riley and all the staff at the Oscar Event Center. Riley worked with us and exhibited patience with our infinite questions. On the day of, Riley did many things that helped make the day move smoothly. The location is quite fun – practically on top Jungle Jim’s, definitely a unique place to get married. Several guests mentioned how neat of a venue they thought it was, and we were able to take some amazing photos throughout Jungle Jim’s. The space itself is gorgeous, the food was amazing, and the bar service was top notch; they were able to procure several of the groom’s favorite beers, some of which aren’t easily available and people were raving about the bride’s cocktail. We emphatically recommend the Oscar Event Center and Riley. Reviewed on 29-11-2023

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. This was an incredible venue to have for our wedding on 10/21/2022. Not only is the inside absolutely beautiful, but the staff and wedding coordinators are amazing. We worked with Riley Petri and she made sure our every need was met, was on top of communicating with us, and answered every question we had. We are grateful to have had her help throughout our whole wedding process and we highly recommend the Oscar Event Center for weddings or any other event you may have! Reviewed on 05-11-2023

We held our son's rehearsal dinner at the Oscar Station on 10-20-23. The food, staff and coordinator were amazing, and of course the space really fit our needs. The staff was welcoming , processional and accommodating. Josie was our coordinator, and she was so easy to work with. She even made sure my selections would fit the needs of our guests, without wasting food. She offered creative insights which I appreciated, to help me envision what the space could be transformed to. She helped with cocktail and dinner music selections, which enabled the guests to chat with each other. By offering me options on seating arrangements, decorations, food and beverage selections, she helped make this an easy task for me, as mother of the groom. Guests raved about the space and food. I recommend Oscar station, as the coordinator, staff, food and guest experience was perfect. Reviewed on 31-10-2023

I do not know where to even begin. From our first meeting to our last and all the emails in between, Josie was amazing. She didn’t minimize any questions, prompt responses and was a friend when the stress of wedding planning started to creep in. The service is unmatched, they truly work to make your night perfect and not to mention the catering is unlike any other food. We received the biggest compliments on our wedding food. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my planning process with Josie and the event center, our reception had zero issues to my knowledge and it was everything we wanted. I think it’s special that I gave them a vision and Josie made it all come to life. Reviewed on 29-10-2023

Everyone at the Oscar Event Center was amazing from the beginning to the end! Josie worked with and for us tirelessly, and made sure that we had everything we needed. She was our rock during the prep, rehearsal, and the day of itself. The food was great, which was very important to us. Thank you everyone at the Oscar Event Center for everything!

We had an amazing experience working with the Oscar Event Center and Riley Petri for our wedding reception. We had a cocktail hour at the Oscar Station and the reception at the Event Center, with the monorail running between the two locations. Everything came together seamlessly for a perfect day and we wouldn't change a thing. The food and drinks were delicious and we loved having such a unique space to celebrate with our family and friends. Riley was so patient with our questions throughout the planning process, and her advice and expertise were invaluable when it came time to plan the many final details like the room layout and flow of the reception. We'd relive the day if we could! Reviewed on 29-08-2023

We were the type of couple that knew that we wanted to get married but we didn't have any specific ideas for the big day, and at the beginning, we were extremely overwhelmed by everyone asking us specific questions that we had not even thought about yet. However, once we met Oscar Event Center's wedding coordinator Riley, she made us feel completely comfortable the entire way, which was a huge relief! Riley would ask us planning questions and if we did not know she would give suggestions without being pushy and making us feel stressed out. On the day of the wedding, she made sure that my husband and I had everything we could ever have needed, and she did everything in her power to make sure it all went to our exact plan. I even mentioned to Riley at a meeting in February that I wanted the lights to dim when the dance floor opened up and she remembered that all the way to July and made sure that happened for us! I was extremely impressed with her attention to every detail and her positive and kind attitude at every meeting we had with her! Whenever someone asks me how our wedding went I tell them it went perfectly because of our incredible wedding coordinator Riley! Riley made our wedding spectacular and we could not be more thankful to have our wedding at Oscar Event Center so we had her! All of our guests keep saying how incredible the food was and they were all extremely impressed by the venue! Reviewed on 07-08-2023

Erin Scalia(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-11-2021 I will forever be grateful for the amazing crew at the Oscar Event Station (Oscar Event Center). They went above and beyond for us when they learned of previous wedding venue's heartbreaking fire, leaving us without a venue a month before our wedding. They were quick to respond and coordinate everything we needed to pull off such an amazing day! April, Riley & Josie did such an amazing job setting up our decor (which turned out SO beautiful), helping us with our timeline, and making sure my husband and I were happy & tended to before the ceremony and during the reception. Also, I think most of our guests can attest to this - but they had easily one of the best bars I've ever experienced at a wedding. There was no shortage of great drinks and great service. It's also worth mentioning how versatile of a space the Oscar Station is (the Station is a separate building from the main Oscar Event Center). It can easily be transformed to fit a rustic, industrial, boho or modern theme, and probably more. It is such a fun space, with a great layout that is a perfect setting for weddings! It comfortably held our guest count of around 200 people with a dance floor area big enough to break it down!Our wedding day could not have been more perfect, and I can't thank the Oscar Event team enough!!

Samantha Stockmeier(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-12-2021 A written review will never do this venue justice to how amazing it really is. April and her team went above and beyond every step of the way. They were always quick to respond whenever I had a question and asked the questions I may not have thought of myself to ensure I would have the best day. The entire Oscar Event staff knew my vision and brought it to life. The day of my wedding I never had to ask for a single thing because the event staff was always 2 steps ahead. Their chef allowed me to customize my dinner options, and my guests are still talking about how yummy it all was. The weather was not the best the day of my wedding, but this venue had more than enough photo opportunities inside of it. My photographers were amazed. This event center is the total package. I can't wait for the opportunity to be a guest at an event here in the future, or have a reason to throw another event myself! Reviewed on 17-12-2021
Whitney Anderson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-10-2021 We were first surprised to learn about the Oscar Event Center with their relation to Jungle Jim's International Market. We were absolutely blown away when we took our first tour, and knew this was the place that we wanted to have our reception. Throughout the entire planning process, Riley, Josie, Narnia, took all of the pressure and stress away from us and helped answer every question that we had along the way. This included communicating with our vendors to get all of the details planned out so we didn't have to worry about the coordination aspect of getting everyone there on the wedding day. Our guests loved how kind everyone was at Oscar and how quick they were to answer any requests throughout the night. My husband and I would recommend the Oscar Event Center to anyone looking for an amazing venue to truly make it an experience for your guests! Another fun detail is that we had the opportunity to take some pictures in the wine cellar at Jungle Jim's prior to the reception which was really fun and a special memory that we will have for years to come!

April and Narnia were an absolute dream and made everything flawless. April was always there for me when I was having a slight panic over COVID and it meant so much to me for her to call after hours and reassure me that everything will be okay. Narnia was so wonderful and I am so happy have had her coordinating everything. The both of them worked so hard same to all the staff, so a huge thank you to Oscar! Reviewed on 22-10-2021
Christine Baarendse(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-08-2021 First off, I wish I could give The Oscar Event Center more than 5 stars. We had such a great experience with them throughout our entire wedding process. Planning a wedding during Covid was extremely challenging at times but the staff at OEC was always willing to go above and beyond to make us feel at ease. We loved that they took care of so many things that other venues do not include in their wedding packages. It has been a few weeks since our wedding and we have received so many compliments from our guests. Quite a few have said it was the best wedding food they have ever had. We also had a lot of guests say that the event staff/bartenders for the day were so kind and helpful throughout the night. Personally, we had a great experience with everyone we worked with there from the beginning of planning all the way up to the day of the reception. Josie in particular was great with answering all of my questions quickly and meeting with us to go over concerns. I would highly recommend OEC to any couple looking to have a stress free wedding reception! Reviewed on 03-09-2021

Katie Burns was such a wonderful person to work with and continuously went above and beyond for us. The Oscar had so much to provide for us, from basic amenities to things like centerpieces and decor that gave us less to worry about! And the food was delicious and a big crowd-pleaser!

My now daughter-in-law, her parents and my son did all the wedding planning along with Katie's guidance and it was truly a great, great wedding. Katie took care of letting us know when to be where and answered any and all questions we had. My husband and other son left some items at the hotel and had come to the venue via the hotel shuttle and Katie offered her own vehicle for them to go back to retrieve their things - this lady knew us only by name but offered her vehicle to us! That's great customer service!The food. . . wow!! The food was really, really good. My family is still talking about how good all of the food was! The table service was also incredible. No one ever had to ask for a refill and all the wait staff were very nice. Bar service was also great - plenty of bartenders to take care of the guests. If I had to complain about anything - it would be the parking situation. There just is no convenient parking for guests to The Oscar Event Center. There is an area \"designated\" for event guests, but it is a bit of a walk and many of our guests were simply confused by it all. We had several people who literally ran into the wedding as it was getting ready to start because they couldn't find a park and had to walk quite a way. Overall, this place has it all. . . beautiful venue, full table and bar service, excellent food, well organized wedding coordinators/event planners. I would recommend to anyone considering The Oscar!

They would not stop talking about the Mac and cheese bar that was served as a late night snack. Also the service was spectacular. They were extremely attentive to the bridal party and our guests said the same thing. Oscar Event Center made our wedding reception a night we will never forget.

Jayson Boubin(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-11-2019 We picked the Oscar Event Center for our wedding in November 2019 and could not recommend it more. We initially had Amber as our event coordinator who was great. She left on maternity leave and we were switched over to Dianna, who was also wonderful. Both Amber and Dianna let us set up our wedding the way we wanted, for a price that was considerably cheaper than any other value we looked at. In some cases, we paid half of what we would have at commensurate venues. The best part about this venue may be the food. There is a wide selection, and everything we had both at the tasting and at our wedding was excellent (which is what we have come to expect from Jungle Jim's). Everything from the ceremony to the flaming doughnut bar was executed smoothly. This venue richly deserves our 5 star review. Reviewed on 29-11-2019

I want to thank the entire Oscar staff for my son's amazing wedding reception. My son and daughter in law live out of state which was a challenge. We have been planning for a year and the staff has been amazing from day 1 to the big day. The event staff was helpful in planning and executing all of my son & daughter in laws dreams. They were unbelievably accommodating for the food tasting and any meetings that needed to occur. We started with Amber and transitioned to Riley and Loren - the transition was seamless thanks to their professionalism and thanks to the assistance of General Manager April Petri.Talk about the food - I have one word AMAZING!!!! Chef James and his staff knocked it out of the park. 4 days later I am still receiving texts from guests talking about how good the food was. Chef allowed us to customize the menu to fit the likes of my very picky son and was able to create menu options that were delicious. Steaks prepared to perfection, moist chicken and potato crusted salmon that melted in your mouth, not to mention creamy mashed potatoes, 2 appetizers that were so delicious!!The service staff was exceptional! Tracy, banquet manager, checked in multiple times throughout the night to make sure that everything was going according to plan and my server - Trista was one of the sweetest people I have ever met, she was attentive to our tables needs and made sure we were taken care of all night. Guests told us how all of the servers were so great and they never had empty glasses or dirty dishes on the table - WOW!

From our first meeting with Dianna, the event planner, we were treated with courtesy, extra-sharp professionalism and an acute knowledge of the space. She was our sole contact until the wedding, and she took the time to work with us individually through a number of meetings to customize and perfect the vision we had for our big day. When we were stumped with how to handle issues, we ended up using her suggestions for a number of choices and couldn’t be happier about it. Most incredibly, her responses to our emails, which were basically just large lists of questions, always came back much faster than we ever expected. We never felt overwhelmed, lost or alone in the planning process – frankly, we are still thrilled to have had such a phenomenal worker and consummate professional help us plan our wedding. The day of the wedding, our decorations and requests were perfectly executed and the space looked better than we even imagined. Dianna introduced us to the banquet team and manager, who would take care of our food and drinks throughout the night. The OEC banquet and bar crew performed incredibly for the entire evening, without exception. As far as the food itself, our appetizers and our main course were all perfect. (I highly suggest attending one of the tasting evenings that OEC hosts throughout the year – you will not regret it). The entire wedding party, especially my wife and I, received nothing short of white-glove service from the staff throughout the evening, and wanted for absolutely nothing. We weren’t the only ones impressed either – we have received many compliments from our guests about the attentiveness and courtesy of the staff, as well as the five-star quality of the food and drink. And even when we had a few boisterous guests at the bar near the end of the evening, the staff handled them with impressive professionalism and grace. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with choosing OEC to host the biggest event of our lives. We will never forget the experience, and I cannot recommend the venue, or the staff that makes it so incredible, enough. Reviewed on 15-05-2019
Courtney Parker(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-04-2019 The Oscar Event Center made our wedding day the best day of our lives. Amber and Katie did a phenomenal job as our wedding coordinators :-) We didn't have to worry about a single thing. I will always remember the moment my bridesmaids and I arrived at the venue on the day of the wedding. Katie had me go in first to take a look at the ceremony and reception rooms. I was in awe. It literally took my breath away. The decorations and set-up were beautiful <3 It was more than I had ever expected. There are no words to express the gratitude my husband and I feel for the love and happiness that was shared on our wedding day. My heart will forever be full <3 Reviewed on 15-05-2019

We even got to meet the chef during our tasting, which was a great experience. The staff at Oscar's was very polite and attentive to my husband and I, and our guests. We highly recommend Oscar's Event Center at Jungle Jim's for any wedding event. Overall we were very pleased with the service and our event director, Dianna Hood, for making our special day that much better. Reviewed on 08-05-2019

Our guests were raving about the reception space. Amber and Katie were wonderful to work with and made everything go so smoothly. They were very attentive to our wishes for our wedding reception and created the perfect day for us. They took care of all decorating and set up/tear down the day-of so we didn't have to worry about anything. This eliminated last minute stress.

Amanda Diersing(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-08-2018 I couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our reception. Amber was so helpful through the whole process and made sure everything was on track for our wedding day. Amber reached out to all of the other vendors including our DJ and photographer to go over the timeline and ensure everyone was on the same page. We had so much great feedback from our guests about the food being so delicious (stuffed chicken and prime rib). I was extremely happy with their assistance and would definitely recommend this venue.

Katie Sullivan(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-07-2019 I really wanted to like this option as it had such great reviews and I know someone who had an amazing experience there when it first opened but when I emailed to try to get information even that was difficult! When I called to follow up on my email, they said my inquiry had been forwarded to someone else and it was \"interesting\" that she had not responded. They transferred me to that individual who made it sound very inconvenient to even talk to me, or to come in and see the venue because they are \"just so busy\". When I inquired about potential dates on a Friday, I was told they don't have any Saturdays available in those months. When I clarified I was looking for a Friday in two different months, I was told they don't have any dates available for the rest of 2019 with the exception of one, and the person I spoke with was very condescending and made it sound like a bother that I was even asking questions. We went ahead with a different venue, and when we booked our photographer whom did my sisters wedding and is amazing, she said the past few weddings they have done there the staff have been very difficult to work with and disclosed that they really dont like to do weddings and really just want to do corporate events. Do you really want to have your biggest day of your life somewhere they feel like you are an inconvenience? Reviewed on 03-01-2019

Mariah Wiethe(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-09-2018 I can not say enough good things about this great place. We had the absolute BEST experience during our wedding because of all of the amazing people that work at oscars. First of all the venue is so beautiful. It has a way of being elegant but rustic at the same time. Our family could not stop raving at how gorgeous everything was plus if you do not want to buy decor they have some that comes with your plan and more you can add on. Second the people that work there are AMAZING! Our decor that I brought in was set up EXACTLY how I asked and everyone was very nice and polite. The food was so so so good and everyone could not stop talking about it. Best of all is the wedding coordinators. We first started with Katie and she was amazing. She is one of the sole reasons why we chose oscars as our venue. She was very prompt in answering all my 500 million questions and making sure I felt prepared and happy with everything. About half way through the wedding planning process she was promoted and we then got Amber as our wedding coordinator. Amber was also so amazing and she was very prompt in answering questions for me and the day of was my rock. She made sure everything was going very smoothly, created a timeline for the day of and made sure I didn’t feel overwhelmed.

We used the complimentary center pieces and everything looked great. The food was fantastic! We hosted more of a 'Happy Hour' style dinner with various food stations. We chose the potato wedge station (with various toppings); the mini slider and mini chicken breast sandwiches (again with various toppings you chose yourself); Italian station with various pasta/sauces, meatballs, veggies and garlic bread. End of the night late night snacks were a hit though we were having such a great time we really didn't get to try them (popcorn, chipsw/salsa/queso).I would have provided a perfect 5 star review but there was an issue with not allowing our party favors to be put out (since they contained alcohol). We had discussed this previously but management changed their mind the day of the reception. There is also a 20% service fee added to the bill. This was not disclosed when the food/beverage minimum was quoted. Seems trivial but it really adds up as the bill increases. Overall, we were very happy with the evening. Staff and service were great. Dianna was easy to contact and very knowledgeable.

Jane McFadden(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-03-2016 HI Dianne, I wanted to take a quick moment and give you some feedback about our fabulous reception on Saturday. Steve was our main man, he was positive, polite, attentive, and made sure all of my wants needs and ideas about the evening were answered. He never let me worry about anything and waited until I was alone before asking/addressing upcoming issues. He helped keep me on track time wise and helped game plan to make sure everything we needed was taken care of, and we did everything we had wanted and planned to do. Everyone on the staff was so polite and everyone raved over the service! People said they hadn’t even put their drink down and the waiters were there to refill it. No one went empty handed, the staff memorized guests drink orders and felt as if they had their own personal waiter. They loved how beautiful and unique the venue was, the lighting, the space, the balcony, everything beautiful. Many said this was the best reception they’ve been to, best compliment we could receive. The FOOD! OMG the food! I wish I would have been able to eat more of it. I didn’t even see the hors o’euvres, but I’m sure they were fabulous, I didn’t get to try the Salmon, I should have juts asked for another plate, but who had the time. The salad dressing, the flavor of the salmon, the crab meat melted in your mouth. Even the size and taste of the chicken fingers, many parents told me at the end of the evening that they would have been happy with the kids meal. The portions were unbelievable, so large and filling. Thanks again for a magical evening! I wouldn’t have changed anything, but slowing down the time spent there, enjoying every moment.

They made it so special for my husband and I and even the rest of my bridal party. Everyone fell in love with their staff. They did an excellent job! They were on top of everything, as the staff always checked in with us and the wedding party to see if we needed anything! The food was delicious, the price is affordable, the location is great with lots of parking for all the guest! I highly recommend the Oscar Event Center! It is a beautiful place to have your wedding!

Christi Otte(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-05-2016 We loved every single thing about this venue. The price, food, decor, and location could not have been better. My one major issue with this venue was the event coordinator Diane. She was very rude and did not handle things as we would have liked. Thank god for the GM April who swept in and made sure to make things perfect. I would recommend this place! I do recommend dealing with April as much as possible. Reviewed on 08-05-2016

Great Job by the entire crew! Reviewed on 11-01-2016
Brittany Johnson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-10-2015 My husband and I held our Halloween wedding ceremony and reception at the Oscar Event Center and we honestly could not be happier with how the entire evening turned out. From the beginning, Dianna was incredibly helpful - basically serving as our wedding coordinator and answering any questions we had. From arranging a Skyline coney bar as a late-night snack to allowing us in the private wine cellar at Jungle Jim's for pictures to switching our ceremony space into a different room than initially planned, she graciously accommodated our every wish. Based on her years of experience, she also provided us with invaluable advice that we desperately needed during the planning process. \r\rThe space was absolutely gorgeous, including the breathtaking women's restroom and the awesome pub. In fact, the venue is so gorgeous that it barely required any extra decorations on our part! The women's restroom served as the perfect place to get ready with my bridesmaids and the Oscar even stocked the room with champagne, cheese, fruit, water, soda, and other snacks for us! Guests were allowed on the heated balcony during the reception and I know that was a hit with those who wanted a break from the action.\r\rThe staff, especially Ryan, was amazing all night. He made sure we had everything we needed - keeping drinks in our hands at all times and even bringing me cocktail hour appetizers when I needed a private break from the reception. The food, which was catered through the Oscar, was absolutely delicious. I can't speak highly enough about the stuffed chicken! We've received many compliments about dinner and several guests have called it \"the best wedding food\" they've ever eaten. The cake and cupcakes were delicious, too and the staff packed them up for us to take home at the end of the night.\r\rThe staff at the Oscar worked seamlessly with our other vendors (DJ, photo booth, photographer) and it was a godsend not to have to worry about the logistics of the evening once the reception started. I truly can't speak highly enough about the wonderful experience we had with Dianna and the Oscar Event Center. Our wedding was truly the best night of our lives and that is due in no small part to the efforts of the entire staff at the Oscar. Our only regret is that it ended too soon! Reviewed on 24-11-2015

Courtney Wiesman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-09-2015 We were so fortunate to have this venue recommended by our jeweler. We went to look, although we thought it would be way out of our price range. We were so wrong. They worked with our budget and it was truly the best night of our lives. Throughout the entire planning process, if I had a question, I always heard back from Dianne quickly. She was incredibly helpful!\r\rThe food was incredible, as was the service. We had people helping us from the minute we walked into the door, keeping drinks in our hands and making sure we were enjoying our night. Everyone was pleasant and willing to do whatever it took to make sure we were having a wonderful evening! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and very well maintained. We have gotten so many compliments on the space itself, the service and the food, and our wedding was only two days ago!

Jen Y(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-07-2015 The food was amazing, the venue and ambiance were amazing! I can't tell you how many times we were told how great both were. We had great banquet managers in Ryan and Patty. They were SO accommodating and fixed problems that we didn't even know about and so positive throughout the night. We had a guest with many dietary restrictions that we did not know about. They went out of their way to make her a new meal that fit her needs right away. We couldn't have been happier!

Whitney Davis(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-08-2015 I have to say thank you to everyone at The Oscar Event Center. The venue was beyond great as well as the staff. Dianna (Event manager) helped me from beginning to end, even through the times I changed my mind (which happened a few times). My wedding day was perfect and I would not have picked any better place to have it at.

Both dishes were excellent and the mash potatoes were awesome. \r\rI also want to thank the staff members for making my day the best day ever.

They were amazing the whole year and a half that inwas doing my planning . Dianna was there when i had any questions and had an answer for everything i asked. When i saw how everything was set up for the wedding when it came for my big day i was ready to cry. Every thing was perfect. The listened to all my requests and everything that i didnt like and what i wanted done. They took care of me and my bridal party the entire night. The food was amazing and the bar tending was awesome. The staff was so friendly. Everyone helped everyone out. If i could marry my husband again i would do it here all over again. Again i am so happy with our choicd and i would recommend them to everyone. They are very affordable and just overall wonderful. Reviewed on 16-06-2015
Heather Jo Douglas(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-03-2015 The second we walked into the Oscar Event Center we knew it was the venue for us. The ambiance, atmosphere, from the first step through the ceremony and reception spaces was incredible. We had a wine theme for our wedding and there was remarkably little that needed to be added to the space to enhance it - it was so beautiful and elegant on its own. The staff was incredibly helpful - they made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day, making my wife & me their top priority. I could have done with a little more communication in the months leading up to our wedding - in wedding planning it's incredibly hard to keep track of all of the details, and it was entirely on us to remember when payments were due, menus had to be finalized, etc. However, in the month or so up until the wedding, every question was answered immediately, and they were always willing to help. I would absolutely recommend the Oscar Event Center to anyone looking for an elegant, warm, and still fun wedding venue. The space is beautiful, the food is great, and the staff really takes care of you. When we first toured they told us it was the best kept secret in Cincinnati - and I would have to agree!
