Magic Moments
One of the best things about The Fives is there is no shortage of inspirational spots for great photos. Here are a few favorites.
Simran + Krish
From the first meeting with Simran & Krish we knew that authenticity and community was very important. The celebration at The Fives was the culmination of a traditional multi-day celebration and we held this ideal in our hearts while working to create their perfect celebration. Our hospitality partner, Together & Company, worked with the couple to create a custom, authentic menu that fostered those ideals throughout the meal. Our team collaborated to create the perfect menu filled with flavors, colors and traditional elements of their regional Indian cuisines. After discovering that banana chips were personal to the couple, we included them on each table.
The team at Aisle & Co. brought Krish & Simran’s modern, bright and classic aesthetic to life. Dreamy neutrals in ivory and beige set a clean palette for Prema Designs’s bright pops of orange marigolds and toffee roses. A backdrop of floral draping greeted guests as they entered the Social Hall and tall, statement arrangements highlighted the dramatic ceilings and crystal chandeliers. Guests were greeted on the Terrace for cocktail hour with two signature cocktails: a Lemon-Lavender French 75 and a Peach Mint Bourbon Smash.

Jade + Justin
Where to even start with Jade and Justin’s wedding… It was one of our favorites of all time and it couldn’t have been for a nicer couple. The talented women at MMJ Events were our design and event planning partners and the result was magical. Drapery was used throughout the venue and the effect was otherworldly! White sheers along the entire south window wall softened the Terrace and created a dreamy glow.
With a guest count of only 116 it was important to make the Social Hall feel smaller and more intimate. A strategically placed luscious fabric screen beckoned guests to the cocktail bar in the Social Hall and created a distinct dining space with its own private patio. The space was used to perfection, with the bridal party framed by our front wall of windows and a mix of table shapes and sizes surrounding the dance floor.
WEDDING HIGHLIGHTS
• Soft neutral florals were the perfect highlight for the billowing white drapes
• MMJ events created a color coordinated dance floor that took the stunning décor to an eleven!
• A Traditional Margarita featured the Bride as her signature cocktail of choice

Lauren + Adam
We love live bands and so does Lauren and Adam! The layout for their reception put the entertainment center stage with a giant marquis letter of their married name in front of a grand stand, as envisioned by their planner Wedding Perfection. The entire venue played a role in the big day with the ceremony on the covered Terrace, photos overlooking the skyline, pre-ceremony Get Ready Suites and even using the gallery space to sign the Ketubah.
Caring for their guests was important for Lauren and Adam and the multitude of touches they included made sure of it. From a kids 0nly table, wine service with dinner, and end of the evening touches like White Castle sliders, a candy bar and bottled water for the road, loads of details made this reception memorable for everyone.
WEDDING HIGHLIGHTS
• The Get Ready Suites were filled with light, energizing snacks to fuel the wedding parties for the day ahead
• The traditional Challah used for the Hamotzi was baked by our hospitality partner Together & Company
• As guests entered the reception in the Social Hall, Together & Co. passed wine and beer to them as they found their seats
• For dramatic effect, one garage door on the south side was raised for the couple to enter through for their introduction

Nakia + Justin
We loved the crisp classic black and white aesthetic that Nakia and Justin chose for their summer wedding. They lived in the Reach apartments next to the venue and choosing The Fives felt like hosting the event in their own neighborhood.
Their picture-perfect ceremony was held on the Terrace overlooking the downtown Columbus skyline and a pre-ceremony Champagne greeted the guests as they stepped off the elevator. Guests returned to the Social Hall on the first floor for the reception. With a smaller guest count we suggested a floor plan that filled the space and created an intimate feel.
We placed the dance floor in the center of the guest tables so that our couple felt the love of their guests throughout the evening and were always center stage.
WEDDING HIGHLIGHTS
• Our bride hosted her party in the large suite with mimosas and a fruit display
• We loved how our couple leaned into the times with their use of a QR code to help guests find their seats
• A sparkler send off was fun for everyone and photo perfect!

Kristen + Nate
Listening is the first and most important step to bringing every couple’s ideal reception to life. Kristen and Nate had a clear vision and our team was ready to execute! They shared that they didn’t love the idea of serving their guests a meal they didn’t choose for themselves and opted for a lavish buffet with lots of options. Together & Company pre-set a salad which helped move dinner along, and the buffet tables were removed immediately after dinner revealing the dancefloor. Kristen & Nate were ushered through first with assistance from the top-notch service staff and dined at a beautifully appointed couple’s table. The bride’s parents worked with our beverage concierge Josh to select their favorite wines which were offered table-side during dinner.
A cocktail party vibe was carried throughout the evening, starting with a refreshing cucumber-jalepeno margarita as the signature drink and a traditional Bailey’s and coffee after dinner.

Amanda + Jeremy
Amanda and Jeremy’s New Years Wedding is one to remember! Originally wishing to host their reception at our sister location, The High Line Car House, they quickly learned that their large guest list would make it impossible. After their friends Abby and Matt had to pivot their ceremony at the last minute to the High Line, they realized they could have it all – a ceremony at the High Line and stunning reception at The Fives!
Our couple leaned into a NYE vibe with black tie attire and a white, black & gold reception following a dreamy all-white ceremony. Heaters on the rooftop Terrace provided warmth for guests to enjoy an outdoor cocktail hour. Tall gold candelabras, a black and white checkered dance floor, and a dramatic overhead floral installation transformed the Social Hall. Shimmery linens covered the tables catching the candlelight and white napkins added a pop of contrast. To add a little extra New Years sparkle, cold sparks were placed on either side of the bandstand for the first dance. A midnight toast with surprise baskets of favors tucked under the guest tables ensured that the new year was ushered in with style.
WEDDING HIGHLIGHTS
• Our Beverage Concierge worked with Amanda’s parents to source the perfect Chardonnay and Cabernet for dinner service
• Together & Company created a duet of chicken and beef which allowed for a gorgeous plate up with expedited dinner service.
• The couple reserved the suites early in the day to use them for getting ready prior to their ceremony at the High Line Car House
• A shuttle service was provided for guests to get from their hotels to the ceremony and then to the reception
