I have hosted a few events at the Makoy Center including my own wedding reception in the Emerald Room. I will always refer people looking for a full service venue here. Matt and Clay and their entire team are responsive professionals who are thoughtful and have always gone out of their way to meet our needs or accommodate special circumstances. They have always been fully invested in our experience there at the venue and weve always been beyond pleased. The food and service are always 5 star and the property itself is well maintained and decorated. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Makoy Center. Highly recommend.

Attended my sisters wedding here. What a great, all in one, venue.

The Hilliard Coin Show is the third Sunday every month. Dan Rich puts on a great one-day show!The Makoy Center is a perfect venue!Hilliard has a lot to offer, if you want other attractions!

Nice venue, great staff, helpful and professional. We had my friends wedding there, outside. We got there 4 houra in advyand prepared everything and they helped us a lot. There was two changing rooma for bridesmaids and groomsmen. The location is lovely as well.

My niece got married there and 3 hrs before her wedding they told her it was a pipe that busted and she could only get married cut her cake and then we all had to be out by 9pm we had no access to restrooms no other accommodation like emergency port-a-potties or a water truck was looked into at all my niece could not serve her guest food nor any type of drinks. The venue seemed so unbothered like it was no big deal very unprofessional

Dance Rhythms 💃 Had Their Recital There. Plenty Of Room For Everything They Needed. Clean And Well Kept.Nice Location . Beautiful Place For A Wedding Reception

We have held coin shows at the Makoy Center for a number of years and have always been pleased with the high level of service from the entire staff!

Unbelievable experience. Our daughters wedding reception was here and we couldnt have asked for a better venue. Food was AWESOME and the staff was FANTASTIC. Highly recommend.

Attended a single day conference here, a great venue and set up.

Gorgeous venu! My friend just had her wedding here and the staff did their best to make sure everything ran smoothly. The whole venu is absolutely gorgeous!

Great setup for a wedding reception but they could definitely use larger rest rooms.

We held my parents 40th surprise anniversary here past night. Let me just say through the whole process Matt and Clay have been AMAZING. They took care of every detail so I didnt have to worry about a thing. The night of the staff was all amazing very friendly and helpful. My parents had the night of their life and I will recommend the Makoy center to all of my friends. I also thought the pricing was very reasonable, they didnt pressure you into having the most expensive options so that was also nice. Just cant say enough good things about them!

Thank you for celebrating Kelly F. life with us!

We can not thank The Makoy Center and all their staff! Our wedding on 9/19/2020 was amazing and everything that we wanted. Jacob and Clay did an amazing job making our day so beautiful. The food was amazing! All of our guests commented on how wonderful and beautiful the Makoy Center was. We had perfect weather for our outdoor ceremony. Everything was flawless. Everyone was so friendly, helpful easy to work with from day 1 of planning. The corona virus may have made it stressful planning but The Makoy Center made it a breeze. The Makoy Center was the first any only venue we looked at. We just knew this was the place. We will definitely be back for any party we have.

Filmed a wedding here. Jake, one of the event coordinators, was very helpful with whatever I needed. Beautiful place with great lighting.

It is your typical banquet venue. Bathrooms were clean and the Emerald Room appeared nice.

Clean venue... today, there were 2 separate shows with native american artifacts and then coins! Some great history and prehistory in the same place!

Amazing! Event coming on the 13th of June come and see all the anazing small businesses at one place.

A great place for a seminar, however the climate control was a bit of an issue as it was much too cold. Otherwise a clean place it would serve well for a special event venue.

From the moment we chose the Makoy Center we were impressed with Clay and Erin! Both were friendly, pleasant, and professional. Every detail was discussed and covered. When the actual rehearsal and wedding events transpired we worked with Jake (and other phenomenal staff). They created an enchanting evening and allowed us to enjoy our daughters wedding! Would highly recommend the Makoy Center!Blessings,Michelle

The people at Makoy Center were great, the room was perfect for the party. Everything was clean and sanitized. The food was better than a few restaurants Ive been to. The steak was perfectly cooked. The Vegan plates were good.

Great service, our daughter is getting married there, amazing place and great food, they are very good at what they do.

Makoy Center was the first wedding venue that we looked at and we knew that we didnt need to look anywhere else! Matt answered all of our questions and was very happy to work with us! Makoy Center made planning the wedding so easy! Matt and Clay are knowledgeable about all of the wedding details and are pleasure to work with. Erin and Jake are amazing! I was there early before the wedding and Erin helped me set up the aisle runner exactly how I wanted it. Jake was our day of wedding coordinator. Before the ceremony, I was nervous about throwing my toss bouquet and he practiced catching the bouquet a couple of times so I wouldnt be as nervous. He is very easy going, friendly, and so much fun to work with! My husband and I can not say enough how much we really appreciate the Makoy Center. The people are great, the venue is gorgeous, and the food is incredible. Any future events that we have to plan are going to be at the Makoy Center! If you want an amazing wedding, choose the Makoy Center!

Wonderful food. Loved the bartender. She was great.

Beautiful, good food with large portions.Join us for church services Sundays at 11 am. Grandview Christian Assembly.

Great place for functions and gatherings. Seats over 200 people. Couple of halls available. Far from highway. Limited parking and close to Hilliard town. Spacious interiors. Attached bar available inside. Adequate space for buffet dining and tables with raised stage. They didnt provide audio systems.I would recommend this place.

We went the for my sisters kids dance

Clean, elegant and affordable venue with professional staffs

Really nice place to hold events in Hilliard. The food was great too.

Went there for a formal ball, was very clean and the staff was nice. 👍👍

Worked there for years and currently working there still. I even got married there once in the Emerald room. Great location, amazing people, and the food is the best!!

Dance floor was huge! Staff was quick and professional. Building could use some minor upgrades.

The Makoy center was absolutely everything my husband and I could have asked for, for our wedding reception. The staff especially Clay and Matt are so helpful and very quick to answer any questions. They thought of everything and made our day so special, I would highly recommend the Makoy center for any occasion!

Beautiful place

Was there for the monthly Columbus coin show. Its always a place to get good deals on collectibles. I sold some items, made a trade, and bought a silver coin I wanted for a fair price. There were at least 20 dealers there so there was plenty to choose from. The location is behind old downtown Hilliard but easy enough to find and the facility is good. Ive stumbled across a archeology show and other events there too. Cool place!

Very classy place its got character!

The Makoy center was beautiful! Matt showed us around and sat down with us, he answered any and all of our questions and even sent us home with a sheet of our pricing to know what we would want and exactly how much we would spend. It was the best experience I have had while wedding planning!!

Took Great Nephew for testing

Coin show every 3rd sunday of the month!

Everything about our event was perfect! The staff at the Makoy Center was AMAZING! They are what set this place apart from the rest. From the planning, to the actual event, they exceeded all of my expectations! I would definitely recommend the Makoy Center for any event!

Nice wedding venue, good places to take pictures outside.

Perfect wedding venue for my daughter! Everything was first class. Food and presentation was amazing. And, the staff was beyond excellent. Nick was there every second to take care of every single detail. He was the best. Everything went EXACTLY as planned. Can’t say enough good things about this venue and its staff. Highly recommend!

Very nice place for a large wedding reception. Nice facility, excellent food good service

Beautiful banquet hall

One of the workers on February 22nd was extremely rude! I went to get ice and she asked “can I help you with something” I asked for ice and she stated “I’m not getting you ice, you aren’t supposed to be asking me for anything” in a snarky tone. Very uncalled for, how would I know I can’t ask for ice? She could have simply stated she could not get ice, absolutely no reason to be so rude. I would not recommend this place to others as long as she continues to be employed here.

Beautiful Venue for a Prom

Ive never been to a bad wedding reception here. The food is always great! Beautiful facility!

I cannot recommend The Makoy Center enough! We had the pleasure of working with Matt to plan our wedding. He was fantastic, listened and understood our vision for the special day and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. The entire team made our wedding day perfect and we could not have had a better experience. We will definitely be recommending them to everyone in the future

Great place to book an event. They have a really good staff and very nice venue rooms. The food is extremely good Makoy really has one of the Best Chefs in Columbus whoever it is. Top shelf event location . 5 stars ,I will be back.

We were there for a wedding and the hall was beautiful! The bar staff was exceptional!! The event was catered and the food was delicious! The bathrooms could use some updating lol.

Just had a OSHA class in there and the place was well taken care of and the food they supplied us with was very good. Staff was very nice also.

Beautiful place for a wedding, the reception, or any gathering.

Attended a very nice wedding here, was a great experience.

The Makoy Center is an ideal place, for not only wedding receptions, but hosting live events! I personally had the privilege to work with Clay Daniel; hes the man with a plan! I would recommend this family owned venue to anybody based off my own experiences.

Great staff! Best food around. Every year they are consistently the best food at events.

Just attended a wedding there yesterday. It was beautiful and very well put together. Bridal room could have been a bit bigger and with more mirrors for some reason only the groom room did. Nick was very attentive and when I told him he did a great job, but it looked stressful his response was very tasteful and mentioned how rewarding it was. If I had any event or wanted to have a wedding I’d definitely go here first!

Excellent venue. Comfortable and well lit. Food was good and the event staff was very polite and attentive. Definitely perfect for a wedding or reception. One negative is that drinks at the cash bar were on the pricey side. Note that I didnt book the venue myself so I have no idea about costs or affordability

I dont even know where to start on how AMAZING The Makoy Center was. They were so nice and patient and helped every step of the way. They helped me with so much! The food was amazing, several guests commented on how good it was. Clay and Alyssa were awesome!! I am so happy we went with the Makoy Center! Would highly recommend!!

Nice venue. Good enough parking. Next to a nice trail and by downtown Hilliard. Would come again.

Nice venue

Makoy Center is a great place for any functions you might be having. Wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, elegant part entertaining. They can suit any occasion and the prices are very reasonable. There are several different banquet rooms to suit your size needs. I highly recommend this place.

I was there for my first time a week ago for my High School Reunion. It was alright. I had a good time. But there was an issue with tables. There werent enough for all the people to sit down. So they started serving salads when I noticed people standing. You need to make sure people are seated before serving. And the AC struggled to keep it cool. But the staff were nice, and friendly. They took care of the table problem. And we had a good time. All is good.

I booked my wedding ceremony and reception at the Makoy Center. Everything went really well the whole time leading up to the big day. They kept in contact and told me time and time again that they had a dedicated staff to set everything up and I wouldn’t need to worry. All of my centerpieces were different and I had a lot of decorations so I was nervous. They repeatedly told me not to worry. The day before our big day was the rehearsal which I ended up setting up almost everything. I set up all the centerpieces and my decorations on all the tables. The only thing I didn’t do was add my real flowers to the many many vases I had. My day of coordinator was to set up the flowers and I had a few of my family members showing up early to assist in making sure it was done correctly. He told me he would be starting the flowers as my family members were running late and I went about getting ready. Fast forward and he did not start setting it up, there was so much to get done and he was no where to be found. It got to the point where I was out getting the tables done as guests were arriving! Half of the guest saw me running around trying to get things done when I should’ve been in my bridal suite getting ready and relaxing. It was very stressful for me and inconsiderate of the venue seeing as they had hundreds of dollars in fees for their staff assistance. I paid hundreds of dollars for staff assistance and ended up setting everything up myself after being told they would take care of it and I need not to worry. I am very disappointed and there are other things that went wrong as well. The building is beautiful but the staff is seriously lacking.

Great venue! The food was great and the staff is so professional and helpful. They made our special day easy and it came out beautiful! I would definitely recommend them for any event.

It was very nice. Lighting was very dark when entering from wedding garden. Food was amazing.

The staff went above and beyond very nice venue. Only complaint is mens restroom. The stahl door does not latch

Great place for small conference such as the monthly coin show I was there for

Awesome venue for our companys Holiday Party. Food was good and service was the best.

Had my company holiday party here and loved it. Great place very roomy, awesome people and spectacular service.

Nice building. Looks like a cool place for a wedding

Really nice event space, plenty of parking. Clean facilities and really friendly staff. Located in a very cute area (old Hilliard) reasonably easy to drive to; we attended a wedding of about 175 people and there was plenty of space and it was a comfortable experience.

I attended a wedding and reception here. It was thoroughly enjoyable. The staff were friendly and managed to mostly fade into the background. Very well done.

Great place for hosting weddings or small corporate event. We had corporate training here and the staff was very nice. Had tea, water and coffee available. Clean facilities and area overall. Convenient location .

Very clean, friendly staff...

Matt is seriously the best! The staff is so nice they really are on top of things and very relaxed and making your planning easy.

We get to DJ a lot of weddings and corporate events here. The staff is always impressive and the food is great.

A good place for a wedding. It was clean and there were options for wedding party photos outside, but not much shade.

Great place for a wedding. Great food and magical transition from wedding to reception. They have their stuff together.

I thought I left a review already but I do not see it! So here it is again!I had a great experience here! I did not have to worry about much! Catering was taken care of, I found my photovbooth vendor through the Makoy Centers tasting, I was also able to bring in outside vendors such as DJ Flugazy, Photographer Jeff Stevens and Videographer Thi Nguyen !The tour I initially received was very detailed and presented with great customer service! On my wedding day (April 2019)everyone was so enthusiastic (staff and guests alike)!The only reason I gave them 4 stars is due to location! There is a roundabout right near here and the venue is almost hidden! But other than that there are 3 rooms to choose to have your event! All are spectacular!

Attended a family wedding there. The staff was very attentive and the food was very good. Great job!

Our daughters wedding was held at the Emerald room last night Oct 1st, 2016. Our event captain Alyssa and her staff were fantastic! My wife and I were more than pleased with how smoothly everything ran. What ever we needed the Makoy center staff made sure it was taken care of. We highly recommend the Makoy center for a wedding venue.

Matt is this best bartender. He made sure our drinks were always full. Clay made sure the whole thing ran smoothly and attended to every need from both families. If I were to have an event around the Columbus area I would choose the Makoy Center.

Beautiful interior. Very nice for a wedding.

Great place for our reception for my daughter. Quaint with plenty of space including a dance floor.

It is nice. There is a wedding there that I am going to today and I went to a couple of proms there

Very nice. Was a good event.

Date night Hot Jazz with the Delta Sigma Theta Columbus Alumnae chapter Sorority incorporated

The Makoy Center was a good venue for our Class Reunion. Its nice that it is centrally located in Hilliard and even though Old Hilliardfest was going on that day, signs were posted and easy to follow. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to our needs, including setting up tables when extra people arrived. However, the elevator was difficult to operate and we had several class members who needed to use it. Also, it is not well marked. Additionally, it was somewhat awkward to have to keep walking through a wedding party that was lined up downstairs.

Great place to get married and dance and eat

Nice venue. Sound & lighting very good. Staff responsive.

Food was great! Wedding went well!

Had our corporate Christmas party here a few years. Nice location with plenty of room. They provided wifi was not usable so if you need that bring backup.

I highly recommend this place. The staff are excellent, the food is delicious and the venue is simply magical.

Upstairs room was perfect for our holiday celebration for 40 people. Food was very good.

I enjoy going there, it is always clean and tidy.

Nice large party house. They should upgrade the parking lot for parties over 200 people. Theres always traffic leaving this area.

Excellent! Venue, beautiful, good delious, service well thought out, yeah excellent!!!!!

This place is a hidden gem. I recommend this for future events personally and professionally.

Attended a wedding reception here. It was nice. However, there was a smell of pot in the entrance. Kinda weird...

Very nice building the setting was beautiful. Colors made the atmosphere warm and inviting.
