The Transept

The Transept is a distinctive event venue in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine neighbourhood, set in a restored former German Gothic church beside Washington Park. Its historic character gives events a memorable setting, with stained glass, exposed brick, original timber, grand staircases and a soaring vaulted ceiling, complemented by contemporary sound, media and lighting features.

The venue offers several spaces for different formats and group sizes. The Assembly is the largest room, suited to wedding receptions, dinners and larger gatherings. The Agreeing Room can serve as a lounge, meeting space or standalone event room, while the North Tap Room and the intimate Registrar offer options for smaller occasions, cocktail hours and business gatherings. A private Bridal Tower provides a separate retreat for wedding parties.

Couples can hold ceremonies and receptions here, as well as related celebrations such as engagement parties, showers and rehearsal dinners. The Transept also welcomes corporate meetings, business dinners, receptions, happy hours and social events. Organisers can discuss how to use the spaces to suit their programme, whether they are planning a formal celebration or a more relaxed gathering.

Catering is provided by DelightMore, whose team works with hosts on menus and service for their occasion. Event enquiries can also cover planning details and a tour of the venue. With its combination of historic architecture, multiple rooms and modern event facilities, The Transept gives event planners a flexible indoor location for celebrations and professional gatherings in central Cincinnati.
