Drees Pavilion

Went to a wedding reception here last night and it was over the top phenomenal.
The service was always on it and accommodating to the crowd. They made sure everyone had a full drink and a good time at all times.
The food consisted of chicken, roasted veggies, cheesy potatoes, and roast beef cuts. It was well spiced and well cooked.
Now let’s talk about the view. This is the best view of the Cincinnati skyline I have ever seen. You could see all Cincinnati had to offer from a «top of the hill» view.

We were here for a special (indoor) dinner event. I have to say the view is absolutely breath taking, even though it was overcast! I would rate the view 5 stars alone! Wow! The pavilion is a decent size to accommodate a nice size event. This particular evening the seating arrangement was made up of round tables that sat 10 people at each table, there was also room for a dance floor. The buffet was set up on one side of the room with two small bars on each side. The room was full, but did not feel over crowded even with people up and moving around.
The food catered in for the event was decent, prime rib, chicken, veggies, salad, rolls, etc.
The only thing that I would recommend that Drees to update would be some signage and lighting in the parking lot/​exit area. It started raining as we left and it was completely dark. Trying to find your way out was a little tricky.
Overall a good venue for a a medium-​large size party!

I recently photographed a wedding at Drees and thought it was a great wedding Venue! The food tasted great, the service was quick, and it was easy to move throughout the space. Watch out for the bright sun overlooking the city during ceremony hours but the sunset is beautiful. Perfect city view!

i enjoyed my first wedding and reception experience at drees. don’t know how much it cost, but it seemed worth it.
the pavillion and the view are perfect for an outdoor wedding. and the reception hall is quite nice, albeit small.
the food was also excellent (assuming it was an in house caterer).

Attended a wedding here — Space is standard banquet but nice. Fantastic view of city. Great outdoor area right outside reception hall. Food? AWFUL. Seriously — Wedding food is assumed to be sub-​par, but this was just inedible. We were all wasted by the end of the night because no one ate their dinners! I would never recommend an event here unless you had your choice of caterers!
