Whitehall made out wedding planning a breeze! Julia was absolutely amazing with her communication leading up to the wedding day and her execution the day of. Caterer, DJ and Venue all work together and communicate so that everything is seamless. We were able to get ready, do all of our photos, have the ceremony and reception all in one place which was so important to me. We have gotten so many complements on how unique and beautiful the venue was. There is absolutely nothing that I would change about our day. Thank you Whitehall for making all of our wedding dreams come true. Reviewed on 28-11-2023

My now husband and I loved this venue from the day we toured it. Whitehall was the first venue we toured and we knew from the moment we got in the car to head home that Whitehall was where we were having our wedding. The building is absolutely stunning! I felt no need to add a ton of decorations to my wedding because the entire venue is beautiful as it stands.Julia was our coordinator through the venue. I can honestly say without Julia I would have had multiple mental breakdowns throughout the planning process. She goes above and beyond and takes care of literally everything you need. Through every issue that arose to my forgetfulness, Julia was on top of it all and truly made my wedding day even more amazing than I pictured it would be. Whitehall was the PERFECT venue! I can vouch that they are worth every penny spent and more! They treat you like family in the best way. I have and will continue to recommend Whitehall to anyone that asks! Reviewed on 22-01-2024

We had Whitehall as our ceremony venue for our wedding in October 2023. It was absolutely the perfect choice. Julia (and the rest of the Whitehall staff) made the process, planning, and day of so smooth and hassle free! Julia had everything organized and made sure every question, concern, and detail was taken care of without hesitation. The spaces they offer are also so beautiful and accommodating to all! It was an amazing place especially since we only needed just a ceremony place! We couldnât recommend Whitehall enough!! Professional photos: Cori Wade Photography Reviewed on 13-01-2024

Whitehall (& Julia) were the absolute BEST decision we made for our wedding. They truly do it all, from the planning help leading up to the wedding, setting up our decor more beautifully than I could have even imagined and packing it all up for us to pick up the following week. The services Whitehall offers save so much time & stress - they are worth every penny. While it was the bridal suites that initially won me over, Julia stole the show in the long run. She was so helpful throughout the entire process and played the role of venue coordinator and day of coordinator. Not to mention, she sewed my bustle back up mid reception when it kept breaking so I could get back on the dance floor. Book Whitehall, I promise you won't regret it. Reviewed on 21-12-2023

HIGHLY RECOMMEND having your wedding at Whitehall if you want to be a HAPPY, stress free bride!!! I could not say enough great things about our experience with Julia and her whole team. We planned our wedding out of state and the communication and understanding with the whole staff was outstanding, made it much easier for me and my husband! As for the week leading up the the wedding, things were so organized and Julia made sure every single question was answered. And the wedding dayâŠ. I have a million positive things to say. But to make it short and sweet, the venue was beautiful, the staff was so helpful, and all of the recommended vendors were absolutely amazing.

Julie Mikalacki(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-10-2022 There is no better wedding venue! Whitehall Columbia is the perfect setup, with beautiful white interiors, large âgetting readyâ suites for both the bride and groom, an indoor chappel area, and outdoor lawn space for on-site ceremonies. We were looking for a venue that allowed us the flexibility to choose where we wanted our ceremony, and Whitehall Columbia provided us with the outdoor ceremony option we wanted, but with the ability to move it indoors to the chapel in the event of rain. They truly have set themselves up for success by becoming a full-service wedding venue. We were beyond impressed with their setup, staff, vendors, and amenities. With an on-site event planner and a NEW bridal studio upstairs available for hair and makeup, this venue is setting the bar high as a new industry standard for providing brides with a stress-free and complete wedding experience.Harold and Julia were responsive, attentive, and highly knowledgeable. Their work speaks for itself and they did a great job of listening to what our vision was and going above and beyond to make every little detail perfect. The communication from beginning to end was timely and incredibly professional and they set and took down everything so that we did not have to lift a finger.Our wedding day was absolute perfection and it was in large part in choosing Whitehall Columbia as our venue.

We were looking for a venue that would make our wedding as stress-free as possible. We worked with a venue-provided coordinator to plan our ceremony and reception. It was smooth sailing and allowed me to fully experience the day (rather than stress out about logistics). Initially we were concerned that the venue required specific food and DJ vendors, but these were top notch. We were also able to sample the food and chat with DJ before making our deposit to Whitehall, which was helpful. I can't stress enough how accommodating Whitehall was, and how much I enjoyed working with them. I couldn't imagine having our wedding at any other venue. Reviewed on 25-09-2022

We knew within 5 minutes of touring Whitehall that we loved it and wanted it to be our wedding venue. Harold had such a warm personality that really made us feel like he truly cared about our wedding day rather than just running a business. During the planning process, the venue was great about answering questions and following up with me. They set everything up and took everything down so that we did not have to lift a finger. I also canât say enough great things about the day of coordinator, Julia. She is truly the sweetest person. She made sure everything was where it was supposed to be when it was supposed to be there. She made sure the entire day went perfect. We got so many compliments from guests about the venue and how much they loved it. Especially the stadium type seating! We truly believe that our wedding day would not have been as perfect as it was if we did it somewhere else and we are so unbelievably happy that we chose Whitehall as our venue because it really was our dream wedding.

The whole process with getting things set up was wonderful after that. I loved the fact that they were clear about their costs up front. No \"mystery math\" and charges after the wedding for this or that. They are very uplifting and joyful it just brings so much good energy. I brought my own decor. I gave them the basic idea of how to set up everything and they made everything turn out better than I could have ever imagined. They were finishing more updates when we were married in April 2022.

Samantha Bowers(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-09-2021 When we first looked into Whitehall we fell in love right away for two reasons. 1. Their customer service and 2. Their outdoor ceremony area. Julia was incredibly helpful in helping us preparing the âlittleâ details needed for our wedding weekend. However, come wedding day, there were a lot of details that werenât as discussed and some parts of the decorating and cleaning up process felt rushed and unorganized. Example, our unity candle lighters werenât placed out (we had given them two and they only used one which wasnât even ours), the head table meal cards werenât correct even after confirming with them that they knew about the correct order, just to name a few!Overall, we rate Whitehall a 4 for our how easy they make the planning process (they set up a lot of the vendors for you), the beautiful ceremony set-up, and the amount of fun we had/flexibility they had on some of the items we wanted.

I had to move my wedding from a different venue because they were becoming so hard to work with due to Covid that I could no longer get married there. Harold made the switch so easy and effortless. He was so easy going and easy to work with. Anytime I ever had any anxieties about anything or questions, he was so calming and reassuring and helpful. We planned to have the ceremony outside but the week before my wedding the weather was pretty miserable. We were really unsure what the weather was going to do and not sure how to proceed on whether or not to have it inside or out. He let me make a DAY OF decision so I could wait to see what happened with the weather. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that.

I was coordinating with them for over a year planning my wedding and actually booked with them before I got engaged because I fell in love after the first visit and they book so far in advance! Yes my boyfriend at the time, now my husband, was in agreement ;) I must have emailed them over 100 times for different things, and every time they responded promptly and were courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. I was one of those Type A control-freak brides and made multiple site visits to see how things would work, and they not only made my vision come to life, but went above and beyond and made it even better! Charles and Harold are amazing coordinators; they made me feel super comfortable and assured me that all my little details would be taken care of and they absolutely were. They really care about their clients and aren't just concerned with running a business. When COVID-19 happened they did everything they could to keep us informed, to accommodate where they could, and to advise us how to move forward when we were unsure. They're so friendly and kind you feel like you're talking to an old friend when you go for a visit. I'm so thrilled we took the risk and kept our original date because it worked out perfectly! Even with social distancing restrictions it was still the perfect day I had envisioned and it made it even more special the people that were there. Their venue is absolutely stunning and there are charming rustic chic details everywhere that set it above other venues I've seen. Everyone said what a beautiful wedding it was, and everything went so smooth that I wasn't aware of any issues at either the ceremony or reception. They are more expensive, but it is so worth it to have their all-inclusive service to take the stress off of you when wedding time actually comes. I could go on and on.

There are so many things/details to love about this venue. Harold and Charles were wonderful to work with and they really deliver and help out above and beyond. They were a pleasure. I also loved that they allowed us to do ceiling decor since that was important to me. The venue itself is so beautiful that not much else is needed unless you want to put a personal touch on it. I highly recommend this venue as you will not be disappointed. So beautiful and the staff is just amazing. Also Melinda the florist is right inside as well and she does such beautiful work. Book this venue before it gets booked up because I know it will! All our guests are still talking about how beautiful the reception was. Thank you Whitehall and Melinda for helping make our wedding AMAZING. We couldn't be happier. Reviewed on 26-10-2017
Cara Ptak(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-05-2017 Words cannot describe how incredible of a night that Harold and Charles helped us to create at Whitehall for our reception. I showed up with a bunch of Rubbermaid totes full of decorations a few days before our wedding, and like magic, they transformed it into exactly what had been in my mind for the past year and a half. They made it look even better than I could have imagined, thanks to their talent and the beauty of Whitehall itself. They are your day-of coordinators, your sounding boards, and your friends. If we could, we would throw a party there monthly :) We highly, highly, highly recommend Whitehall. Reviewed on 09-07-2017
Kristen Loop(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-06-2017 THE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE!!! Whitehall Columbia is the perfect wedding venue - we had planned for an outdoor ceremony by their 200 year old oak tree, but the rain decided otherwise and Harold got the indoor chapel all ready that same day. Harold is wonderful and makes sure that everything is running smoothly for your big day. Harold takes his job seriously and has great calming and reassuring qualities, which is great when wedding planning. Charles runs the place for the reception and he did a fantastic job keeping track of all the gifts/cards, the catering service, and guest accommodations. There are great rooms for indoor pictures and places for both bridal parties to get ready. I loved using Whitehall Columbia as my venue and would recommend it to anyone in the area!

Megan Meredith(not set)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-01-1970 I cannot say enough positive things about this venue. First of all, it is absolutely gorgeous and elegant even before you put any decorations in it. The concierge services (Harold and Charles) was amazing and did everything in their power to make planning easier and the night go smoothly. The only downfall is that it is a little pricey and you don't get much included except setup/clean up/ and concierge service. Despite this, the beauty of the venue and service is worth every penny. I would recommend this venue to anyone!! Reviewed on 31-10-2016

Taylor Zupancic(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2016 I can't imagine choosing a better venue. The Hall is gorgeous. The attached Chapel is simple yet elegant.

Ashley Snider(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2016 I cannot say enough good things about Whitehall. Harold & Charles were so great to work with, gave great advice throughout the planning process and were accommodating all the way through the end of the event. The space is so unique and elegant while still extremely affordable. It was the perfect setting for our wedding of 150. My bridesmaids & I got dressed at the bridal suite which is stunning with a large mirror that made for some great pictures. We booked the outdoor space for our ceremony because of the gorgeous oak tree, but the rain forced us inside on our wedding day. That didn't even matter because the chapel is just as beautiful. The staff at Whitehall will even set up everything for you! It was a huge stress reliever to just drop off our centerpieces and decorations and feel confident that the staff would set it all up beautifully (which they did). I wouldn't change anything about the day and would recommend Whitehall to anyone!! Reviewed on 27-09-2016
Allyson Barley(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-08-2016 I could seriously write a novel about how wonderful this venue was. It's hard to put into a paragraph all of the great things about this venue and the owner, Harold. For starters, Harold is very quick to respond to emails, phone calls, and is very flexible in scheduling appointments. The venue is a 1930s era elementary school that Harold renovated into a stunning and elegant venue. They kept the charm of the old school (such as keeping some original doors) but made it very modern at the same time. The venue is kept in pristine condition all of the time. My husband and I got married in the fenced in outdoor space on the venue property underneath a beautiful 100 year old oak tree and the space looked amazing. Harold takes care of almost all of the set up and is really invested in making sure the bride and groom are completely satisfied with everything aspect of the day. We rented the space on a Saturday, but were able to set up on Thursday because there was no event scheduled for Friday prior to the wedding. This made the week go very smoothly and eliminated a lot of stress. Harold also was able to basically run the rehearsal and had great suggestions for improving the flow of the ceremony. I seriously can not say enough good things about Harold and the venue. It is so beautiful and the customer service is absolutely outstanding! Reviewed on 21-08-2016
Ashley Reichel(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-06-2016 The hall is beautiful and unique; we received many compliments. They go above and beyond to help any way possible. Harold was a dream to work with and was easily my favorite vendor. We had a perfect experience working with him during planning, the reception, and afterwards. They did the entire setup before the reception and neatly packed up all of our glassware and other decor for us to pick up the Monday following our wedding. Reviewed on 16-07-2016
Julia K(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-09-2017 This venue is amazing! Harold is an absolute DREAM to work with and always has everything under control! The space is amazing and formal, but fun! You can really make it what you want. Rustic, elegant, artsy, it's ready for your vision! It's budget friendly compared to a lot of locations and is DIY without completely \"doing it yourself\". Book Whitehall and you will not be disappointed! Reviewed on 13-07-2016
