OVATION-Columbus Georgia Convention & Trade Center

This is a beautiful setting for a conference and well managed. The facility is a little dated but it doesn’t interfere with conference activity. Being right on the Riverwalk is a huge bonus. The food was good and the meeting and ball rooms were comfortable.

Nice facilities for a lot of different events (proms, galas, balls etc)

If I could give this place less than one star I would. This was an incredibly unprofessional experience.The venue is beautiful, but the staff was atrocious. After losing our appointment to tour the venue TWICE last year, a security guard volunteered to take us around the venue herself because the event staff could not be bothered to accommodate the appointment they themselves had booked. The caterer they forced us to use would not work with us at all. They refused to give us a tasting, then on the day of they allegedly had no record of equipment we had paid to rent months prior. Also speaking on equipment, we had initially paid to rent equipment for our ceremony and then later decided to forego it. We paid nearly $300 to rent this equipment, yet somehow our refund came out to $38?? Our "event coordinator" provided through the venue didn't even stay for the duration of the event. The event started at 5:00 pm and she got off work and left at 4:00. Which I find interesting because there were THREE weddings taking place in our venue at the exact same time as ours, with no one to direct guests or even signage. Then about a week after our event they had the audacity to call and claim we left our bar tab open, when we had a credit card on file for the duration of the six hour event.
