Step into The Transept
Nestled in the OTR neighborhood of Cincinnati, what appears to be a gorgeous German gothic church on the outside has been transformed into an amazing, unique and historic Cincinnati event venue on the inside.
Four Unique Spaces
From the largest and most prominent venue—The Assembly room—to the smallest nook—The Bridal Tower—and all the unique spaces in between, The Transept is full of surprising comfort, remarkable quality and inviting details.
Historic Grandeur
Formerly Old St. John’s Church, the first German-American church in Cincinnati, this fully restored building is now a proud feature of Washington Park in OTR. The Transept’s interior is rich with history, grand staircases, hugely unique features and standout characteristics, such as a 50-ft. vaulted ceiling with original wood beams, giant chandeliers, exposed brick, private entrances, ornate windows and stained glass.
Modern Convenience
Hidden amongst the historic grandeur are numerous modern elements, such as built-in sound systems, TVs, media features, specialty lighting and more. Though the building itself is over 150 years old, it has been restored with all walks of life in mind; therefore, it is accommodating to all. And with special spaces like the Bridal Tower, today’s bride can enjoy private moments before, during, and after a wedding celebration with close family and friends while also enjoying the dramatic setting of The Assembly.
