Fall in Love with an Autumn Wedding at La Navona

Hey there, fall-loving couples! It’s the La Navona team here, and we’ve got to tell you – there’s something truly magical about autumn weddings in Columbus, Ohio. The crisp air, the golden light, the vibrant foliage – it all comes together to create a perfect backdrop for your special day. After helping countless couples create their dream fall celebrations over the past decade, we’ve fallen head over heels for autumn weddings ourselves.

Why Choose La Navona for Your Fall Wedding? Let Us Count the Ways…

  1. We’ve Seen It All (And We Mean That in the Best Way) After hosting more fall weddings than we can count, we’ve learned a thing or two. We know exactly how to time your ceremony to catch that perfect golden hour light, which seasonal flowers hold up best in bouquets, and how to create that cozy autumn atmosphere that’ll have your guests raving for years to come.
  2. We’re Weather Wizards (Well, Almost). Let’s face it, fall weather in Ohio can be… unpredictable. But don’t worry – we’ve got backup plans for our backup plans. Our flexible spaces mean we can switch from an outdoor dream to an indoor wonderland faster than you can say “I do.” We once moved an entire ceremony indoors in 30 minutes flat when a surprise shower popped up. The couple later told us their guests thought it was planned that way all along!
  3. We’re All About That Autumn Atmosphere. Our Grand Ballroom is like a blank canvas for your fall wedding dreams. We’ve seen it transformed with everything from rustic pumpkin centerpieces to elegant gold and burgundy tablescapes. And don’t even get us started on our charming courtyard – when those leaves start changing, it’s like nature’s doing the decorating for us!
  4. Location, Location, Location. We’re just a hop, skip, and a jump from downtown Columbus, which means your out-of-town guests won’t have to navigate country roads to find us. Plus, we’re close to hotels and the John Glenn Columbus International Airport, so Aunt Mildred from Michigan has no excuse not to come!
  5. We’ve Got the Menu Covered. Our culinary team really shines in the fall. We love putting seasonal spins on our classic dishes. Our braised beef short ribs with a rich demi-glace? Total crowd-pleaser. And while we can’t offer pumpkin spice everything (though we’ve been tempted!), we do have some pretty amazing fall-inspired desserts up our sleeves.

Fall Wedding Inspiration: Straight from Our Dance Floor to Your Pinterest Board

After years of fall weddings, we’ve seen some pretty amazing ideas. Here are a few of our favorites:

  1. Colors That Pop: We once had a couple use the most gorgeous palette of deep plum, burnt orange, and gold. It looked like they’d brought the fall foliage right into our ballroom!
  2. Cozy Touches: One bride put out baskets of soft blankets for her guests during the outdoor cocktail hour. It was such a hit that people were snuggling up on our patio furniture all night.
  3. Seasonal Sips: Our bar team loves getting creative with fall flavors. We’ve mixed up everything from spiced pear martinis to bourbon apple cider. And yes, we can do a mean pumpkin spice latte if that’s your thing!
  4. Picture-Perfect Moments: Our venue in autumn is a photographer’s dream. From the natural beauty of our courtyard to the warm, inviting atmosphere of our ballroom, you’ll have no shortage of stunning backdrops. We’ve even got a few secret spots that make for incredible sunset photos – but you’ll have to book a tour to find out where they are!
