Outdoor Weddings at La Navona: Where Your Dream Day Comes to Life

Welcome to La Navona, where we’ve been turning outdoor wedding dreams into reality for over a decade right here in the heart of Columbus, Ohio. Our team is thrilled to share the magic of our outdoor ceremonies with you. With hundreds of successful events under our belt, we know a thing or two about creating the perfect outdoor wedding.

A Courtyard That Sets the Stage for Love

Picture this: you’re walking down the aisle, the gentle Columbus breeze carrying the scent of blooming flowers, with the soft glow of bistro lights overhead. This isn’t just a dream – it’s what our courtyard offers every couple who chooses La Navona. Here’s what makes our space truly special:

• Versatile layouts that work for both intimate gatherings and grand celebrations (we’ve hosted everything from 30-person elopements to 200-guest extravaganzas!)
• Lush, professionally maintained greenery that provides a naturally beautiful backdrop year-round
• Our famous bistro lights that create that warm, romantic ambiance as day turns to evening
• A seamless flow between our outdoor ceremony space and indoor reception areas, ensuring your guests are comfortable throughout the event

Over the years, we’ve fine-tuned every aspect of our outdoor space to ensure it’s picture-perfect for your big day, no matter the season.

Embracing Every Season’s Unique Charm

One of the things we love most about our venue is how it transforms with each season. Having orchestrated weddings throughout the year, we can tell you firsthand that each season brings its own magic:

• Spring: Witness nature’s awakening with blooming flowers and fresh greenery – perfect for those “new beginnings” vibes
• Summer: Bask in warm sunlight and enjoy those long, beautiful evenings (pro tip: our sunset photos are to die for!)
• Fall: Say “I do” surrounded by the rich, warm colors of autumn foliage – a favorite among our couples for its stunning natural decor
• Winter: Create a magical winter wonderland with the possibility of snow-dusted photos (and yes, we’ve mastered the art of keeping everyone cozy!)

Our experienced team works tirelessly to enhance the natural beauty of our outdoor space, ensuring it perfectly complements your vision, no matter when you choose to tie the knot.

Weather-Ready: Our Promise to You

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room – weather. As a team that’s navigated our fair share of last-minute weather changes, we can assure you that we’ve got ironclad contingency plans:

• Stunning indoor spaces: Our beautiful Piazza and Grand Ballroom aren’t just backups – they’re gorgeous venues in their own right
• Lightning-fast transitions: We can seamlessly move your setup indoors in under an hour (we’ve timed it!)
• Climate control mastery: We keep your guests comfortable with expertly managed temperature control in our indoor areas
• Partial coverage solutions: For those “maybe it’ll rain, maybe it won’t” days, we’ve got creative partial coverage options for our outdoor area

Trust us, after years of experience, we’ve seen it all – and we’re prepared for everything. Your day will be beautiful, come rain or shine.

Making Your Vision a Reality

Your love story is unique, and your wedding should be too. That’s why we offer a wide range of customization options:

• Décor flexibility: From boho chic to classic elegance, our space adapts to your style
• Aisle designs: Choose from rose petals, custom runners, or even personalized monograms (we once had a couple spell out their new shared last name in flowers – it was stunning!)
• Seating creativity: Traditional rows, circular formations, or something completely out-of-the-box – we’re here to make it happen
• Show-stopping focal points: Work with our team or your chosen vendors to create that perfect backdrop for your “I dos”

Our years of experience have taught us that the magic is in the details, and we’re committed to getting every single one right for you.

We’ve seen countless photographers fall in love with our outdoor space. Here’s why:

• Natural beauty: Our courtyard provides a stunning backdrop in every season
• Golden hour magic: Our west-facing layout is perfect for capturing that dreamy, warm light
• Nighttime romance: When the sun sets and our bistro lights come on, it’s pure magic for photos
