Gothic Grandeur in the OTR

Nestled in Cincinnati’s OTR neighborhood, this stunning German Gothic church, seemingly ordinary from the exterior, has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind historic event venue on the inside. Step into The Transept and immerse yourself in its four distinctive spaces, each radiating its own historic grandeur. Coupled with modern amenities tailored for success, these spaces seamlessly blend functionality and elegance, ensuring your event not only meets but exceeds expectations.

We had a great experience from start to finish.
