Patio season is just around the corner!

We're reminiscing about the Big Hearts Gala for Furniture Bank of Central Ohio, where guests could wander between the Social Hall and Patio through open garage doors as they enjoyed their evening.

Can't you just feel the warm summer breeze on The Fives Patio already? 😍

Happy Spring from The Fives! 🌷 Getting the Amphitheater ready for a warm season energized with outdoor wedding ceremonies and concerts – do you have an outdoor event booked with us coming up?

Charcuterie boards - but make them woman-owned bank themed!

Earlier this month, our Culinary Team at partnered with us to create custom "check presenter" charcuterie boards for guests to enjoy as they entered Fortuna Bank's sunset-filled cocktail hour at The Fives.

It was a pleasure to host a celebration for Fortuna Bank, the day before International Women's Day! As a women-owned business, we were proud to support Fortuna's mission to lift women beyond barriers to financial success. Here's to more happy hours that celebrate growth and achievements for women in business!

Image two: Custom charcuterie boards are displayed on a gold framed shelf, attended by a server. Guests mingle in the background.
Image three: Guests of a happy hour socialize in the Social Hall at The Fives. The afternoon sun spills in the tall windows, illuminating the celebration.

Planning a big reveal for the friends is always the move 😍

Especially in a beautiful space filled with natural light! The Terrace Vestibule is one of our favorite spots for staging special moments like these.
