This was my first time visiting this place. It is beautiful with a golf course. I was here for an event that had a speaker, a vendor section, and a banquet hall. It had a podium for a apeaker. The food was delicious. We had risotto, Brussels sprouts, salad, balsamic glazed chicken, cookies, and coffee. I loved the bathroom. It had a vibe. The design inside is great. There's parking out front.

As a wedding photographer, I love it when my couples choose Brookside Country Club! Its grounds are lovely, and there's so many little nooks and crannies with absolutely showstopping lighting for photography. The ballroom is gorgeous and feels very intimate even though it is spacious. - Jessica Miller Photography

When my husband and I started searching for the perfect wedding venue, Brookside Golf and Country Club wasn’t originally at the top of our list. In fact, we initially considered it a “tester” venue—somewhere to get a feel for what we liked, what questions to ask, and what to expect in terms of cost. Little did we know that our “tester” venue would turn out to be the dream venue we never knew we wanted, and the place where my bridal shower would be thrown as well. From the very first email, Chris and her team impressed us with their quick responses, organization, and willingness to work seamlessly with our other vendors. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but Chris made the entire process effortless. We always felt like we were in great hands, and that level of trust is invaluable when planning such an important day. Then came the venue itself. The open and airy reception space was exactly what we were looking for—no obstructed views, no crammed tables—just an elegant setting where all of our guests could truly enjoy the evening. The outdoor patio was another highlight, giving our guests a beautiful spot to enjoy cocktails and appetizers under the open sky. And let’s talk about the food—because we all know a wedding meal can make or break the guest experience. Brookside absolutely nailed it! It wasn’t just good for wedding food—it was incredible by any standard. Our guests are still raving about it! But perhaps the most magical part of Brookside is the setting itself. The property is stunning, with countless picture-perfect spots for photos. The elegant building, the lush greens, and the breathtaking weeping willow at the entrance created the most romantic backdrop for our wedding album. We were lucky to have a beautiful, sunny day, but honestly, Brookside would be gorgeous in any season. Beyond its beauty, Brookside is also centrally located in Columbus, making it easy for our guests to travel and choose accommodations that fit their needs. Looking back, we can’t imagine getting married anywhere else. Brookside Golf and Country Club delivered everything we could have hoped for—an easy planning process, a gorgeous venue, incredible food, and staff that truly cared about making our day special. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that checks every box (and then some), we wholeheartedly recommend Brookside. You won’t be disappointed!
