Fantastic venue for galas, parties, wedding receptions. Every time I have been here it has been elegant, clean, excellent food and drink, lighting, great acoustics for parties and dancing. Easy parking, great area for pickup and drop off from ride share and taxi services.

Good location, nice building and area for events. Feels safe, clean and well taken care of.

Nice place. We have gone to 2 dance competitions here for my daughter and both experiences were good. I really enjoy how the renovated and converted the old factory.

Its a wonderful space. They could improve the lighting but overall a nice space to have different venues.

I feel vibes friendly n simbler to Gastonia n other places Id been nice City 🏙️

This building is absolutely gorgeous (and huge)! We went to the Southern Junkin event and had a great time!

Great historical place to dine and explore history

Beautiful building on the Chatahoochee River. Staff is wonderful. Clean facility.

Fountain city tattoo convention was fun

Great historical place for conferences.

This truly is a very nice venue! This was my first time visiting the Columbus Trade Center, and I was blown away! I went there for Early voting for the Georgia Senate and if you ever are looking for a place for an event or large function, this is the place to hold such an activity! Simply superb venue!

A large facility with a variety of meeting rooms and convention rooms. The staff was very helpful getting me set up on the Wi-Fi and opening my workshop room. Will accommodate very large groups (thousands) to small groups as well.

Went there for early voting. Spacious and very well used. Smooth, efficient operation. Excellent use of adaptable facilities. Friendly, helpful staff.

Cool place!

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Food was great. And the venue prices are reasonable.

Went to a gun show - show was ok // convention center was awesome!! Love seeing historic building revitalized and used!!

Preservice was held here for three days... thanks to those ladies and gentlemen who served us on those days. They were awesome and very nice! The head server Ms . Kim went over and beyond to make sure our food was hot, fresh and on point. Kim... you and your team were the bomb! Thank you!

Very nice! No loud echo, (white noise) like at most conference centers. A very pleasant surprise! Concession (food) workers above and beyond courteous, friendly yet efficient. An accident, a gentleman fell, was handled quickly and well by staff. Impressed!

Cold as ice felt like I went to Alaska

Beautiful historic venue. Professionally managed. Have attended many Christmas and antique markets here.

The gun show was very nice

Right on the river walk and adjacent to a group of historic homes. Great location and about 15 minutes from the airport.

Beautiful! Wonderful staff! Clean and spacious!

Very quiet and clean

Attending the 7th Annual Fancy Fest

Bring a jacket, its cold in there.

Beautifully restored historic building. I havent been since I was a child. It was great to visit and see how well its been maintained through the years. Our conference went off without a hitch. Entire staff was friendly and ensured we had everything we needed while using the building.

Great venue and gathering place.Dont forget to click LIKE on this review!

Very Nice and reasonable prices

Great speaker at Prayer Breakfast.

This facility offered great amenities for the convention I attended. Parking was plentiful. Room size was adequate for most workshops/sessions. Clean restrooms were available. The snack shop offered tasty food choices at reasonable prices. Elevator, escalators and stairs provided options for mobility. I would definitely attend another convention at this location.

Very nice place to have your venue

Come to Church on Sundays, 9am and 10:45am! Church of the Highlands

Very nice facilities. My daughters Jr. Thespian Conference was a success due in large to this facility and its resources. They fed 800+ kids and parents in such a short time it was amazing to watch.

Went for the gun show but there was very little Botha contribution to this event. Overall the facility and location where easy to get to and parking was easy to find.

Very good. Ammo too expensive.

Beautiful building.. but there is no way of knowing where your event is being held until after you park and get into the building.. can be hard if you have a problem getting around.. elevators do not have air conditioning, they were stifling. No employees anywhere...

Service good & clean. Always enjoy my time there.

Great program took place here for youth. I was very happy to see such a program available for youth to explore options of colleges and jobs. Very good place for things like that.

I attended Thes-Con and the event was so beautifully planned and staffed. This building in particular I found myself in over and over again for dance classes and more importantly dinner. They managed to feed thousands of us (I think around 5,000?) which is impressive on its own. Beautiful place to be and plenty of photo ops nearby! I suggest under the train tracks but be careful.

We had so much fun at Christmas in the South. It is a yearly event and hosted at the convention center. We bought so many great items, such as this adorable Rudolph.

I am not sure this is going to post the correct way but as long as I say whats on my heart through this message my mind will stay sound, I which to thank Ms Hayley Tilery for the blessing of helping me when the need was asked some think that help from a employer is expected and other appreciate the help employers give, Ms Hayley I appreciate and thank you for the help and blessing, words can be spoken and actions can be done I commend you on both, keep doing what your job and heart guides you too and know in the end this battle is not yours, I pray many return blessings to you, a smile I give

If you need a place to hold a large function or event this is a great place to do so .I have bought tickets from here and although the promoter whoever he is that did the TI concert which I sent friends too went pretty bad I mean they were in VIP and the artist didnt come until late did not take pictures with them as was suppose to be included in the VIP ...someone took their seats and when staff was informed nothing was done at all it was chaos, but outside of that incident the Convention and trade center itself for many years has been the home of the Fair, and many other great concerts, and conventions. For the most part they are well organized, friendly and very professional .

Pretty nice location although parking, at least from what I saw, was a bit tricky. Went for a military ball but there were also 2-3 other events going on at the same time. There were security band officers present which was nice although I dont know if they are always there. I believe there was an additional underground parking lot that seemed to have escalators that went to them but Im not sure. There was one small elevator I saw but there are also a lot of stairs to traverse. The exterior was pretty nice and had ample spots for beautiful pictures to be taken. I saw at least one large ballroom type area and one large banquet type area but I believe there were more spaces available. Not a bad location and pretty easy to get in and out of. Just watch out for the aggressive taxis and limos that dont seem to remember pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks.

Attended the Bob Wright Symposium on Business Empowerment. Bob Wright is amazing, what an awesome experience. All the women on the panel today were so enlightening. Bryon Pitts did a fantastic job moderating. Robin Roberts was the keynote speaker and she was a breath of fresh air with her humble personality.

Beautiful location

Enjoyed watching our children celebrate Veterans Day

Well.... where do I start.. this review is more about Church of the Highlands. The message is very clear, purposeful, relevant, from the bible and the heart! Pastor Chris delivers and the support personnel dont miss a beat!

Since the complete restorative renovation re-opening in 1979. There have been many noted, memorable, events held at the Columbus Trade & Convention Center. The building structure is formerly known as the Historic Iron Works. This lovely place is a staple in Columbus, Georgia Historic District.Making history... In beautiful Uptown Columbus!

My Great, Great Grandfather built the first Ice machine in the south in this building... Even though his name is not on the sign We know and are proud. My son and my sister both graduated at this location . Very nice place.

I went for 2020 ThesCon. It was amazing! My son is considering CSU so it was nice to see the city and campus.

Excellent experience for our recent training event.

Great fast voting today

Great event location,full of history dating back to pre civil war manufacturing. Easy access and parking

This historic building is beautiful. Most of the beautiful machinery, and iron products on display, are impossible to get to, however. Its all showcased behind class. The Trade Center hosts various events all the time, every year! Its actually surprising how difficult is to get a photo that captures the spirit of the place. In the end, we got a nice sweet shot out front.

Great place to reserve for professional and personal events. There are meeting rooms, ballrooms, halls, etc. for any occasion. It is right next to the river and it makes for great photo opportunities.

Beautiful old restoration! Was there for an event and really enjoyed this venue!

Large open clean. Interesting building very old. Historically location in columbus. Would be great for gathering for large groups, conventions, showers, wedding, bussiness or personal.

Beautifully maintained historical building. Great for any special event. The chef is great and the catering staff friendly!

We traveled here for a family wedding. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. It definitely exceeded our expectations. The staff were soooo friendly and answered all our questions about the history of the building. The wedding was outside by the waterfalls. Just perfect. The re ception room was convenient and clean. Servers were a bit inexperienced, but were very friendly. The food was good. Would definitely recommend.

Very nice

Beautiful building. Great layouts for conventions. Foods yummy too!

My hometown

A great venue for exhibits, meetings and other functions requiring large, flexible space in a very convenient location.

Not enough Parking for handicap, to far to walk after parking. Need to have someone Directing traffic.

Nice bit of History and great venue. Lots of space.

Loved it. Went to watch some fights with my family and was not let down at all. Easy parking. No hassle whatsoever.

We booked the venue more than a year before our wedding date because we wanted to ensure we had the rooms we wanted at this beautiful location. Three months before our wedding, we learned our event had been assigned a new coordinator, Angela Osbey, and she was an absolute delight to work with. She was very responsive to our questions and helped us figure out the last of the details for our big day. Even though our event was small compared to the others happening on the same day, we felt valued and well cared for throughout the day! Everything was perfect!

Wonderful place to visit. Cant put my finger on just one thing. I will go back every time I get the chance.

Stunning architecture. Staff is warm and welcoming. Rooms are very spacious. Bring a sweater it does get cool inside. Great outside views of the river.

Excellant. Staff were very professional, food was excellent. Best place to hold an event

This location was used for a wedding venue. Nice rustic and classic decor with outdoor fountain.

The facility is pretty, but not managed well. I was at a convention & there were no concessions opened. We had to go across the street to the adjacent hotel. Maybe day two was better. The restrooms ran out of toilet paper. At the hotel across the street, the restaurant service was lousy. Never got waited on. Walked out.

Went here for a wedding. Beautiful venue and great food.

Great venue to host party or military balls. Large enough space to put in a dance floor

We for a wedding. Beautiful facility, plenty of free, weekend parking. My only small problem is the distance from the wedding hall to the restroom. Absolutely too far!

It was good to attend, had to changed all had a wonderful time.

I had my reception here. I would have given it a 3 star but the food was excellent. However, I felt rush to eat and was actually pulled away from my pictures by I’m assuming the manager? Because they were ready for us to eat... who does that?? You weren’t my wedding planner or coordinator.

The cool spacious building always is a pleasure to visit. Clean & filled with pleasant people. Free parking was a great idea for my visit today.

Good location. Disney on ice was there. Good parking, but always hectic trying to get in even if you have a ticket. Total chaos with no standard lines, just a free for all.

Really beautiful venue. Parking wasnt bad on the street and my friend got parking easy in the structure too.

Went to conzilla with my grand son. We really had a good time.

The HIGHLANDS CHURCH have their services there. Its nice inside.

The place held a good graduation for some friends

Got a great be parking place. Not enough handicap parking. Poor night lighting.

Went to a graduation there. Because of weather was a last minute venue. Was great to have a place to go. Not great for a graduation because most had to watch on screen.

Great use of existing structures. Loved the industrial look and old beams.

Very nice. Room was cold when affair started but staff quickly adjusted temperature. Food good.

Facility is fine, but its tedious to find a list of all events in the building, and good maps. On two occasions Ive had to wander aimlessly until I found the correct room. Website needs work.

My daughter had her wedding and reception here absolutely Beautiful!!!

Good overall, but could use some new carpet and a few updates here and there. Love the old iron works historical feel though.

Too high dollar they think their selling gold. What happened to holsters??? Wow better luck online.

I go yearly to Christmas Made in the South show. Great vedors. Roomy venue food is good too.

The rooms are big and spacious but its hard on elderly people to go up the ramp.

The gun and knife show was family fun

Great valet parking its cheap big building large spaces people friendly not to far and awesome food🤗🤗🤗

Great venue for functions whether it be conventions or dance events. New years Ball has never failed to entertain and by far is the best there is to meet the new year with dancing friends and acquaintances.

Beautiful venue, terrible parking. Be prepared for a hike in if you dont arrive first thing in the morning. The mini museum on the second floor is a hidden treat.

Very beautiful to visit. Would recommend to any special events. Also, very spacious and is amazing to be in.

Best conference site I can remember... glad to be returning next year!
