Ballroom Rental North of Cincinnati: Meet the Revel Room

Search for a ballroom north of Cincinnati and you'll mostly find hotel function rooms off the interstate and banquet halls with a caterer you're required to use. The Revel Room at Revelance in Mason is a different kind of ballroom: 25-foot ceilings, two stories of windows, a 12×10-foot video wall, and room for 125 at banquet rounds — 25 minutes north of downtown, a mile off I-71.

What You Actually Need From a Ballroom

Strip away the chandeliers and a ballroom is a big, open, flexible room with height, light, and a clean way to feed and serve a crowd. The questions that decide whether a ballroom works are practical ones: does it seat your headcount without feeling empty, can it change shape for a presentation or a dance floor, can you bring the caterer you want, and what will the invoice look like once the bar and the AV are added?

Those are the questions the Revel Room was built around.

The Revel Room by the Numbers

• 125 guests at banquet rounds
• 200+ guests theater-style for presentations, ceremonies, and awards
• 150 seated when the Revel Room opens to the Taproom
• 225 guests for a reception across the connected spaces — the Revel Room, the Taproom, the lobby, and Emergency 9
• 25-foot ceilings and two stories of windows
• A 12×10-foot video wall and built-in AV — no AV package to rent
• A private bar run by Sonder Brewing bartenders at standard menu prices

The height is the part photos undersell. A room this tall reads as an occasion the moment guests walk in, which is most of what people mean when they say they want a ballroom. Here's what the ceilings and the video wall change about an event.

How It Differs From a Hotel Ballroom

No mandatory catering. Bring any caterer, restaurant, or food truck you like — or let the team coordinate it. There's no house kitchen you're locked into and no per-head food minimum. Why that matters more than it sounds.

No AV fees. The video wall, displays, and presentation tools are part of the room rate. No technology fee, no rented projector.

The bar runs at menu prices. Sonder Brewing pours at standard prices with no event markup and no beverage minimum.

No set end time. Tell us your schedule and the building is staffed around it.

Parking is free and right outside. A private lot with more than 125 spaces and EV chargers — no garages, no valet. The building is fully ADA accessible with elevator access to both floors.

Layouts That Work

The room resets for the format: banquet rounds for galas, dinners, and wedding receptions; theater rows for awards, ceremonies, and all-hands meetings; classroom for training days; and an open reception flow that spills into the Taproom when the night calls for it. Partitioned set-ups suit smaller groups without the empty-ballroom feel.

Because the building is one connected space, a single event can use several rooms — a ceremony or presentation in the Revel Room, cocktails in the Taproom, and a closest-to-the-pin contest in Emergency 9. Explore the floor plan to see how the rooms connect.

Who Books It

Corporate holiday parties and awards nights. Nonprofit galas and fundraisers. Wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners. Company all-hands meetings and product launches. Milestone birthdays, graduations, and family celebrations.
