For anyone planning a wedding this year, be sure to add the brand-new Marriott Columbus University Area to the top of the list of possible venues. Opening in June 2017 as part of the first-ever dual-branded Marriott property, the $50-million twin-brand property near The Ohio State University will house a 114-room Residence Inn alongside the 240-room full-service Marriott Hotel.

As part of the concept, a team of dedicated wedding planning experts will be housed on-site to ensure that every couple sees their vision come to life. The Grand Ballroom has space for up to 350 guests, each of whom can take advantage of complimentary parking and shuttle service during their stay before and after the big day.
