Ceremony

AMAZING downtown Columbus venue! My Husbad and I were searching a lot for affordable venues in Columbus and we really felt a lot of downtown was overpriced. We stumbled upon the Vault from The Knot Planning App and fell in LOVE with it. We had a big bridal party and had enough getting ready space. Kitchen space was big enough food vendor could work with it. Actual venue got so many compliments from our guests as the Vault theme also carries over to Residence Inn hotel across the street. I can't say enough about Bentley, he is wonderful! He took care of all my calls, took care of ordering the booze package, & made sure we had great bartenders on deck for our day! Everyone had such a fun time. The big entrance down the big stairs was worth the hype too. We had so much fun showing off the bridal party in that way. The best part is it's so pretty by itself, we didn't need much decor to compliment the tables. Being downtown, we also got to take our bridal party down to all the spots we love when it came time for photos. It's perfectly near what you want for downtown Columbus. Huge thanks to Bentley and his team for making our day unforgettable:) -Josh and Emily

Interesting venue to host a wedding and reception. You definitely get the feel of the bank that used to be at this location. The place is gorgeous and it is appropriate for a smaller wedding, 50-75 peoople at the most. The bar was located inside of the vault as we ate on the main floor and appetizers upstairs. Parking can be a little tricky, but there is a parking lot not even a half a block away from the venue, so you dont have too far to walk.

My husband and I recently hosted our wedding reception at the vault. It was perfect. Working with Blayke and the manager went very smoothly. They helped to accommodate all of our needs. We hosted nearly 200 guests and the venue was just the right size. The bar, which was in the vault itself, was a hot spot during our time there. The bartenders were not stingy with the alcohol and very nice. I recommend Laura with boardwalk catering as well. We received many complements on her food. She was also very easy to work with. We would definitely recommend the vault for anyone looking to host a wedding.

Lovely chandelier in The Vault.

I love repurposed buildings. Transforming The Vault into an event venue was an incredible idea. However, lots of updates are desperately needed. I recently attended a wedding at this venue. The acoustics are terrible (we were seated at the back of the room and couldn't understand the DJ at the front of the room). The upstairs ladies room was dark, dirty, and needs a makeover. The temperature regulation and ventilation in the venue was horrendous-it was incredibly hot and when asked about adjusting the room temp, we were told that the heat would be turned off. Again, great potential...but lots of work is needed and attention to detail is severely lacking.

My $300 ceremony background I built. Completely ruined after caterer and venue mgr made us move during reception.

The owner and his staff are astoundingly unprofessional. Trust me, if he relied on repeat business, he would be out of business. Let me tell you about my wedding day: On my day, the coordinator/manager on duty had none of my event details correct. 1. We paid $200 extra to have the venue and bar for a sixth hour. But as I got my wedding gown on, the coordinator/manager on duty interrupted me to say that he couldn't figure this out per our contract, and he would close our bar during dinner, which was unplanned. 2. He made us move part of our decor during the reception due to it being a "fire hazard," even though we had a floor plan mapped out and approved with the owner, Bentley Austin, during our final walk-through. This piece of decor was a background for our ceremony that we spent several hundred dollars to build, and it was destroyed in this process. It was thrown in a dirty storage hallway and is completely ruined. 3. This person was also supposed to assist me and my bridesmaids from the "bridal lounge" to the elevator downstairs prior to the ceremony; but instead of showing up, a bridesmaid had to enter the ceremony area to go find him and ask him to unlock the elevator for us. When asked if he could close the venue door after the bridesmaids and open it for the bride's processional, he reaction was an eye roll and "That's not my job." He couldn't be bothered to open the door for the bride. 4. He was extremely unprofessional and rude throughout the evening and at the end of the night told us to get our things and "get out" because there was another event the next day. Even though we had previous permission to store our decor in the office until the next day or so. In the end, we did store our belongings there, but they had to be thrown in trash bags and boxes quickly in a haphazard way. 5. Then, when we arrived 2 days later to get our things, we were attacked by the owner's partner who said "I hope you're here to clean the room that you trashed." What kind of way is that to communicate with a customer? I explained that of course, we were there to get our belongings, but the level of cleanliness was not my problem, especially when parts of the venue we paid for and used weren't even in a presentable fashion for our wedding. There were missing ceiling tiles in the ladies room and water leaking on the floor the entire night. The bridal lounge is absolutely disgusting and in desperate need of a remodel. The icing on the cake was when I found out from a bridesmaid who decorated for me before the wedding that Bentley had 2 other couples come into the venue to get married, while we had paid for use of the space, and that they used my decor and background for photos. I can't believe he conveniently left this out of any conversation. In short, this is a man who has a great historic building, but has not invested in any remodeling or upkeep, and obviously cares little about the experience the customers have. He has completely ignored my feedback, even despite the fact that he overcharged my credit card for the bar invoice and owes me money. So if you're looking for a venue that has professional, courteous staff and clean well-kept rooms on site, this is not the place for you. You'll get the "I'm so flexible, I help my brides with whatever they need" speech, but when it counts, you'll be thinking "you get what you pay for."

This review is for the catering aspect of Schmidt's and not their dine in facility…read more I planned my wedding at the Ohio Historical Society: Ohio Village, and if you use their facilities for a party, then you must pick a caterer off of their preferred list. At first, I scoffed at Schmidt's, and marked it off as a "sausage and kraut" house. I mean, who wants that kind of stuff at their wedding? Well, after a disappointing consultation with one of their other preferred caterers, I decided to give Schmidt's a shot after taking a look at what they offered on their website. I am so glad that we decided to go with Schmidt's! The contract procedure, and getting everything in order went well thanks to Arlene! The only real problem we had was with the linens being pricey, or not being available, and this was like... a week, or two before the wedding, but everything worked out, and we were told by OHS management that our reception was decorated nicer than any previous receptions they had. (Not sure if it was sincere, or not, but it was still nice to hear.) NOW, to the FOOD! We ordered basic cold cut sandwiches, traditional potato salad, a cheese and veggie tray, and some bahama mamas (their signature sausage.) Sadly, I couldn't partake of the bahama mamas due to me being worried of spilling red sauce on my wedding gown. The food was great, and was just what we wanted. It was nice and simple, and everyone left with a full stomach from our early wedding. So am I going to recommend Schmidt's catering? YES, YES, YEESSSS! They were so helpful on one of the most stressful things a bride has to deal with. They also made it work with our small budget for 50+ people. I will warn you, I had to deal with a grumpy fiancee about not having cream puffs instead of wedding cake. Choose wisely!

We used Schmidt's Catering (in particular I worked with Jennifer Hutchinson) for an Oktoberfest…read moreOpen House at our work facility. They came in and made my job SO easy. They brought in decorations for our tent and tables to give it a festive feel and set everything up for us. Everyone RAVED about the food (we actually had a better turn out because we advertised Schmidt's was catering!). There was more than enough food to meet our needs - especially the mini cream puffs! (YUM!) They provided not only the food, but the beer as well - which also received rave reviews! The staff quietly worked in the background to make sure the food was hot and available, as well as cleaning up behind our people as they were socializing. Jennifer was such a pleasure to work with that I felt as though I had made a new friend by the time they left. There is absolutely no question that we will use them when we have our next event!
