Why The Woodward Is the Perfect Place to Celebrate Anything

When most people hear The Woodward, they think weddings - and while we absolutely love hosting “I dos,” our venue is so much more than that. The Woodward is built for celebration of every kind: birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, holiday parties, company gatherings, and everything in between. Here’s why our space stands out for any kind of party you’re planning:

A Location That Keeps the Party Going

Right in the heart of Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine, The Woodward puts you steps away from some of the city’s best restaurants, bars, and nightlife. That means your guests can keep the celebration going before or after your event. (And out-of-town visitors get a true taste of what makes OTR such a vibrant neighborhood.)

Our building has history as a theater and now as a concert venue, but one of our modern perks? All the beer on tap. Your guests will appreciate the options, and you’ll love how easy it is to serve
