Pros:Easy to get to and parking isn't too bad for a venue of this sizeLarge room for meetingGood, responsive serviceCons:Decor could use an updateFood is only okPro tip:I was only here for a meeting, so can't speak to how they host weddings, etc.Worth checking out since it is centrally located in Cbus area and I heard the pricing isn't too bad

Nice facility. Well lit for the scale model show held there. Parking gets really tight for pickups and large SUV.

The Makoy Center is a wonderful place for a wedding and reception! Matt worked with us very closely from day 1. Everything from the planning meetings to the pricing to the tasting events were all communicated very well! The day of coordinator Reagan was awesome making sure everything went smoothly! The food was amazing and we had lots of compliments on the food selections! Our guests had a great time and I would recommend this place to everyone!

What an awesome place for a wedding reception. The staff did a great job setting up and decorating the tables. We had a large crowd, more then enough room to mingle and dance. The food was very tasty, and plenty of it. Clay and his staff are awesome.Job well done!!

Every time I visit the Makoy Center the experience improves. The set up makes sense and is visitor friendly. The space is fairly large and can fit a nice size group. The decor is versatile enough to fit any occasion, - you could go there for a business meeting and it would be adequate, and have a wedding reception here and it elegant.The foyer though is a bit small and when you have a large group with a check-in requirement it gets crowded fast. Also I've never seen an official coat room, just a moveable clothing rod contraption that sits off to the side (taking up valuable foyer space) which would be an added benefit. At my most recent event the bar staff was cordial. The attendant staff was much younger and well...not so much into communication. They took a few things off our table before people were finished and it was 100% because they ASSUMED the person was finished with the dish/glass and didn't ask. One of the attendants reached over me and picked up my glass to refill it without asking and almost lost his life. My ninja instincts immediately kicked in and I went into defense mode ready to karate chop attack! Fortunately I realized what he was doing before my hand reached his throat and there was no incident. However if he would've politely asked "ma'am would you like a refill?" or even "hey yo, you thirsty?" before reaching over me like a goon, all of this would've been avoided. With all this said the Makoy Center should definitely be a location you check out if you need an event space. Parking is incredibly easy because they have their own lot (although it could use a brush up on the parking space lines). It's a strong 3.5 for me, so I tipped the review to a 4 because the few jagged pieces can easily be corrected with etiquette training and paint.

They really know how to roll out the red carpet and help make a special event memorable. My 35th high school reunion committee worked with them for a year and they really gave us a lot of help and hosted us in style! Major shout out to Matt and his team for making our event extra special!

Ok I have an apology to make to the Makoy center, I had been told that a whole bunch of people didn't come and I made the assumption that they had RSVP and then were no shows. So i imagined enough food in the back room for another whole wedding, this was not the case, only a few no shows that had said they would attend. so my only small gripe was still the staff was not as helpful as they could have been. So bottom line if we have anything come up where we need a venue (large or small) makoy center will be my 1st and only choice.If you have your wedding there please invite me; I will bring a nice gift if you serve the pasta Diablo

Love working with the MaKoy Center in Hilliard Ohio. As a Wedding/Event Planner it is so nice to have a venue that is on top of things and so very helpful. I highly recommend George and Linda to all of my brides! Nora McCoy Wedding/Event Planner Party Planners Plus www.partyplannersplus.vpweb.com

I cannot thank Matt and his team at Makoy Center enough! From the first interview there was a great connection and I never once questioned my decision of using Makoy throughout the entire process.As most brides know, the Venue can make or break a wedding, not only did it make our wedding; but it exceeded our expectations along with most, if not all of our guests. The venue was large and we had plenty of space, the food was absolutely delicious (tenderloin and au gratin potatoes), the bar's variety of drinks was amazing and the bartenders were very efficient!Most important the staff was out of this world. Matt works way too much and answered my crazy emails even after hours. I never once had to follow up with him, as he was on top of everything! Nick was also great, he kept me moving on my wedding day and never skipped a beat. Even after the wedding they boxed everything up so there was no clean up and we could just enjoy the rest of the night. They made our wedding seamless and anyone would be crazy not to use them!!!
