Anniversary Party Venue in Columbus, Ohio
A 25th, 40th or 50th anniversary deserves more than a restaurant back room. The 5200 Event Center gives the couple a private, elegant hall on the east side of Columbus where three generations can eat, dance and watch a lifetime of photos play across ten big screens, with our kitchen cooking and our staff serving so the kids and grandkids are guests, not workers.

Questions
Anniversary Party Venue FAQ
Can we hold a vow renewal ceremony and the reception in the same room?
Yes. We set a ceremony arrangement first and reset the room for dinner while guests enjoy cocktails and appetizers. One venue, one setup, one bill.
Do you provide linens, tables and chairs?
Tables and chairs are included. Linens, centerpieces and backdrops can be arranged; ask when you request your quote.
Is the venue accessible for older guests?
Yes. Single-level entry, no stairs to the hall, and parking at the door.
What does an anniversary party cost?
Our hourly rates are published on the live booking calendar, so you see your date's cost before you ask; the calendar also gives an instant estimate with add-ons. If your situation calls for something different — a repast on short notice, a tight budget, an unusual schedule — reach out directly by phone, text or email. We are here to help families in their time of need and in their best moments, and we will give you white-glove, personal attention to find the best way to serve you. A deposit holds your date; the balance is due before the event.
How far in advance should we book?
Golden anniversaries are often planned a year out and weekends go first, but we also take short-notice dates when the calendar allows.
