Your Cincinnati Event Venue for Unforgettable Celebrations
We are a family-owned event venue with deep roots in Cincinnati's history. Established in 1949, our journey began when Bill Elsaesser transformed his family's dairy farm into a unique gathering space, continuing a legacy of hospitality that dates back to Herman Elsaesser's founding of the Palace Hotel in 1927. Our venue specializes in creating memorable experiences for weddings, banquets, and private parties, combining home-style cuisine with exceptional service.With two spacious rooms accommodating up to 600 guests, modern amenities including climate control and accessibility features, and a commitment to transparency in pricing, we've served over 50 years as a trusted choice for Cincinnati's celebrations. Our team personally oversees every event, ensuring quality food, ample parking, and a welcoming atmosphere that reflects our Christian values of treating others with respect and care.
