On the biggest day of my life, I am so glad I chose to host at the Summit Hotel. During what can be an extremely stressful time, Alex and her team made me feel at ease, never missing a beat or detail. From the initial meetings to support on the day of the wedding, everything was executed flawlessly. The Summit is your one stop shop for all things wedding because they have an amazing event coordinator, great food (and drinks!) and accommodations for out of town guests. 10/10 cannot recommend enough for your special day!

Ivanka Rainer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-04-2023 The Summit Hotel went above and beyond for our wedding! They were very helpful in all of the planning and coordinating of our timeline. They helped us realize our vision for the perfect wedding. In addition, they were incredibly accommodating to our unique cultural traditions and various dietary restrictions of our guests. The venue was gorgeous and perfect for our rehearsal, ceremony, and reception, and a very convenient hotel for our guests to stay in. Alex was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. We couldn't be happier with our experience. Reviewed on 16-04-2023
Meagan Gosney(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-02-2023 We could not be happier with The Summit Hotel as our reception venue! First and foremost, The Summit’s staff are absolutely top of class. From our initial tour to our contract agreement, to meal selections, to our floor plan, the team worked with us every step of the way to make it a simple, streamlined, and enjoyable process.  Every single member of their team we interacted with, from Event Coordinator (Alex) to support staff, waiters, and custodians (Tommy, Branka, and Eric) to the Banquet Managers (Kerry and Brent), everyone was incredibly helpful, outgoing, and did everything they could to make sure our weekend was special.  Our family and friends loved the hotel; you can’t beat the ease and convenience of having everyone all in one place. The Summit offered amazing getting ready rooms, delicious dinner (huge portions), and a large and diverse bar menu.  The Summit met with us several times to review every detail, proactively provided recommendations and support, and continued to check-in with us after the reception date to ensure we were satisfied. 10 out of 10!

Rachel Collins(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-10-2022 I have to say the summit hotel was the perfect place for us to get married! We toured a bunch of venues around Cincinnati, and we found something a little wrong with every single one. The summit checked every single box that we needed! first of all, we had a wedding with a large group of people attending from out of town, so having a comfortable place and super spacious (seriously, big rooms!) for them to stay and not having to worry about them going from the ceremony venue to the reception was a godsend. on top of that, the venue is gorgeous, very accommodating, and let me tell you the food is unreal! We did a stations wedding, and I have never heard so many compliments for food at a wedding! We really enjoyed dealing with the staff (Alex, Brent, Kerry, Branka) who made sure our day was super special, and the icing on the cake was that all of our friends and family stayed on the large and comfortable dance floor the entire evening! One final thing you might not think about is that they include a backup space if it happens to rain if you want to use the outdoor space for their wedding... I don't know how many venues can guarantee that! can't recommend this venue enough, especially if you have a large group needing to use the hotel for accommodations. 5 stars !!!

Ashley J(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-05-2021 We ended up moving our wedding from a different venue twice . We went through a lot of planning and my wedding planner Karen found out about The Summit and says it would be perfect! It was! We worked with Michelle up until the day of the wedding and she was very communicative, responsive , nice and professional ! She was so helpful and attentive throughout the day for anything we needed. The food at dinner was fantastic. We also held a farewell breakfast the next morning and that was great as well! Everything from top to bottom was absolutely beautiful! Reviewed on 25-05-2021
Nick Storer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-05-2021 The venue is beautiful and has everything you're looking for. We wanted a one stop shop that could provide the ceremony, reception and accommodations. The Summit checks all the boxes. But the reason I wanted to make sure I wrote a 5 star review has more to do with the staff (because the building is amazing, it speaks for itself, you'll love it as soon as you walk in).I hope everyone who chooses The Summit gets a chance to work with Michelle Taylor. She did an absolutely first class job getting everything together for us. I cannot speak more highly of her, her staff, and the job that The Summit did in accommodating us on our big weekend. I felt like the response to every request was, \"Yes, I can make that happen\" and she did make it happen, but also went above and beyond what was expected of her. This is a first class building and experience, we highly recommend choosing The Summit. Reviewed on 10-05-2021
Jessica Moss(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-11-2020 We ended up moving our wedding from a different venue and having a mini wedding at the Summit. It was better than we could have imagined. We worked with Jennifer up until the day of the wedding and she was very responsive. On the big day, Donovan took over. He was AMAZING. He was so helpful and attentive throughout the day for anything we needed. The food at dinner was fantastic. We also held a breakfast the next morning and that was delicious. The chef also was very helpful in coming up with food options for one guest with significant food allergies. We couldn't have asked for better service. Reviewed on 17-11-2020
