Funky’s Catering Events is proud to introduce Cincinnati’s premier event space, nestled in the southwest corner of Washington Park, The Transept transforms the historic German gothic church into a world-class venue for weddings, meetings, receptions and social gatherings. We welcome you to take a virtual tour of The Transept here.
Embark on an adventure down the aisle, create a revolutionary business idea, cultivate relationships, and discover your passion in this transformative venue. As a historic preservation where design meets significance, The Transept brings new life to weddings, special occasions, meetings, and community events. The Transept is a place where people intersect. A place where two families become one through marriage, two friends come together for a night of fun, and a board of colleagues catalyze their next big idea.
Grounded in rich history, The Transept carries great significance for Cincinnati. As it formerly stood, Old St. John’s was the first German-American congregation in Cincinnati. Built in 1867, the architecture boasts German Gothic design complete with stained glass, 50-foot vaulted ceilings, and ornate details. The combination of stunning design, classical significance, and reimagined purpose will give those who experience The Transept a truly unforgettable experience.
