One Room for the Day You’re Planning

Unique wedding ceremony setup in Cincinnati's historic industrial venue

Somerhaus brings a ceremony and reception into a furnished, open-plan venue in Over-the-Rhine. A central skylight, concrete floors, greenery, and lounge seating give the room its character before you add your own decorations.

Start with the floor-plan examples and talk through your guest list, table arrangement, and space for dancing. Dining tables, chairs, and a house sound system with wireless microphones are listed among the venue amenities.

Choose a licensed caterer or explore the preferred vendor network. Review wedding rental rates and bar packages on the pricing page, then confirm the services and timing for your date with the wedding team.

Word on the Street

Couples Reflect on Their Celebrations

A wedding and a welcome party, described in the hosts’ original words.

Felt Like a Destination Wedding

Wow! I hosted my wedding at this beautiful, unique venue. We felt like we were having a destination wedding in our own city. There is so much love and detail put in that decorating on our part was minimal. We got tropical flowers for the tables and it just completed the vibe.

Perfect Wedding Welcome Party

Somerhaus was the perfect place for our wedding welcome party in Nov 2024. We loved the plant vibes and that the event space needed very little decor to look complete. Beth was great to work with and Emma and Dusty took great care of us during the event...

These are the questions we hear most from Cincinnati weddings hosts. Still curious? We're here to help.

Can you accommodate both ceremony and reception?

Yes! Our flexible space can be configured for both ceremony and reception. We can set up ceremony seating for up to 80 guests, then transition the space for dining and dancing. This allows your entire celebration to happen in one beautiful location. View layout options on our venue layout page.

What wedding vendors do you recommend?
