    Weird
    Remi W.

    We rented out this venue for a 250 person event and it fell incredibly below expectations. The door attendant was a complete as complete jerk. Made everyone line up and wait outside for over 30 minutes despite the fact that we rented out the venue. The bar was understaffed and people had to crowd in lines as there was only one server working at each bar. The place itself was a good environment. However, there were weird rooms where things were just shoved in a corner.

    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."

    Downtown

    Been here a few times for a few different events. Since this is an event space that events…read morethemselves can rent out, I'll try to avoid commenting on the actual events. Instead, I want to focus a bit on the staff and space provided at the Kee. I've been surprised by the event staff here every time I've come to an event. Every time I've gone, the bar has been pretty understaffed. Customers will come up asking for water, and bartenders will wave them off, saying "Get water from the free dispenser over there" while the dispenser is empty. Maybe this is a barback issue? The bathrooms start out okay in the beginning of the event, but every event has been out of toilet paper and paper towels by the end. They're looking pretty shabby too. The Kee might consider mid-event janitorial services because women ducking into the men's room to steal toilet paper rolls to hand them off to other women who are sitting in the stalls is probably not the look you're going for. The space itself is cute. Rooms are wide open with ample walking space. The main room (the Kee calls it "The Venue") is huge and echo-y - which is a shame because this appears to be where they put live entertainment and music. We've had a hard time hearing any presenter's words in this room because of the acoustics. The additional rooms are super cute (love the arcade games and unique furniture), but they're only open during events if your event paid for them. The arcade games cost extra money. There are nearby parking lots that'll handle most small-event traffic, but if something huge is going on, you might need to figure out street parking. The hallways/entryways are definitely built for shuttling people through, and they handle entrance lines pretty solidly. (I'm a little confused by the Yelpers reviewing food or drinks here. The Kee is only open for private and public events. It looks like this might have been a restaurant space at one point?)

Another reviewer correctly pointed out that they already add a 20% service charge so do what you want with that info.

Graystone Cellars is a banquet venue in the Brewery District located in a limestone vault. (pretty cool, huh?!) They carry some local wines & their food menu looks delicious! Plenty of options from a la carte apps to dinner and apps to dinner, drinks, & apps, etc. For drinks, there are multiple options from sodas to wine/beer to wine/beer/spirits, to better spirits, you name it! Brian was responsive and the information packet he sent me had everything I would want to know (the food and drink options, venue pictures, cost, etc.). I asked if gratuity was included, and he confirmed it was added into all of the pricing. So, it was a really great option! I haven't reviewed places I haven't experienced, but we looked at quite a few venues, and I was really impressed by the quality of food and drinks, how beautiful the space was, and the price. It was the best venue option, in my opinion. So, I wanted to share! The only reason we didn't book Graystone is because one of my colleagues got too nervous about the little lead time we had & wanted something with live bar music for the younger folk, so he booked a grungy bar. The younger team wanted to karaoke (he didn't), and he knew that no one could karaoke if there was already live music & a venue available to the public, so here we are. Ha! Fingers crossed for next year.

    What a wonderful place for our rehearsal dinner. The food was phenomenal. Very gracious employees…read more Definitely recommend!

I am not sure if the venue supplied the decor or not, but the entirety of the venue, even down to structure of the actual building, is just really pretty. It's simple and has a rustic yet modern and clean farmhouse feel. Lots of greenery everywhere. The party lights strung all throughout the ceiling definitely added a very quaint and warm feel. I was surprised it only took the cocktail hour after the ceremony for the staff (of whom was very inconspicuous... I don't even remember barely noticing staff) to turn the room where the wedding took place, into the reception! With tables, linens, big grand center pieces... I mean... the works! HOW did they do that in 1 hour?! Anyways... everything was right in it's place. The ambiance to the venue was to die for and the entire evening seemed to flow so seamlessly. A+++ for the Vue!
