Perks of reserving The Carnegie Center of Columbia Tusculum

 

1. Affordable Rental Rates with tables and chairs included.

 

2. All-day (9am-midnight,) full-building access to the facility on the day of your rental. Clients can get ready and decorate.

 

3.  We offer a large Bridal Suite clients may use even if the ceremony is off-site. Access to the room begins at 9am or later.

 

4. There is no additional fee to host  your ceremony on-site and only a small charge if you need to rehearse on a different day. (Monday-Thursday)

 

5.  The reception may last as long as 6 hours with no additional charge, which is 1-2 hours longer than industry standard.

 

6.  TCCCT has a majestic, yet intimate appeal.  Our unique architecture and design will be different than cookie-cutter venues.

 

7.  The managing catering company, Eat Well, enjoys a refined reputation with 20+ years of experience to enhance your planning and bring more to the table than just food.  They assist with timelines, floor planning software and much more of the preparatory experience.  After purchasing top Cincinnati catering business Jeff Thomas Catering in 2024, Eat Well has expanded to be one of Cincinnati's largest, most comprehensive and prestigious catering companies!

 

8.  Initial site visits can enjoy a quote within 5 days since there is only one caterer.   Eat Well can accommodate specialty needs like gluten-free, vegan, kosher and ethnic cuisine. 

 

9.  One of the biggest benefits is the ability to bring in your own alcohol.  This is huge for 2 reasons.  Number one, you get to choose the products you know your friends and family will enjoy, not what a high priced bar package dictates what you will be serving.  And then, of course, there is the price difference.  Most weddings at TCCCT average around $7.00 per guest for the entire evening even with wine service during dinner.  If you are a party of 100, this feature basically makes the cost of the venue free.

 

10.  Once booked, you will enjoy a menu planning meeting with an Eat Well sales person to create an individual and unique menu to fit both your tastes as well as your budget.  

 

11.  Also once booked, you will enjoy a personalized tasting and you may be as many as a party of 6 for a memorable experience.

 

12.  In good weather TCCCT offers a paver garden for a cocktail or mingling break outside.

 

13.  Additional photo opts are just 3 minutes away in quaint and lovely Alms Park.
