The Ohio Statehouse, with its obvious grandeur, is available to serve as your perfect wedding location – an experience that will be unparalleled. The Statehouse is available for your ceremony, reception or both!

The elegance of the Ohio Statehouse captures the most esthetically pleasing dream. The Statehouse embodies the perfect locale for a wedding ceremony and reception with its Greek Revival architecture and appealing exterior landscape. The beauty of your day becomes elaborate. The unity of bride, groom, friends and family will never fade. The opportunity to wed or hold a reception in the Statehouse lay hidden from July 1870 until May 2007.

The number of available wedding dates is limited due to the Statehouse's remarkable and one of a kind attributes. Don't settle for anything less than a most memorable wedding and reception. Couples may choose from a variety of venues including the Capitol Atrium, North and South Atrium Porches, Rotunda, State Room, Ladies' Gallery and the Exterior Plazas.
