The Fives at The Reach on Goodale is opening soon.
The Fives at The Reach on Goodale. You’ve seen it, right? Of course you have! It’s that incredible new building, just west of Downtown, which completely captures the eye of all who pass by on I-670. It’s so modern and spectacular, and we couldn’t wait to see inside.
We felt so lucky to get a tour of The Fives by Together and Company owner, Angela Petro.
We discovered that Together and Company will not only be hosting, planning and catering all of the private events in the multiple spaces INSIDE The Fives, but, they will also be managing the event programming for the public community areas and amphitheater outside. This is a huge job, and they are ready and prepared for it, without question.
So, what is it like inside?
The Fives is truly an exceptional venue with incredible views of the Columbus skyline. The Social Hall main ballroom will be perfect for hosting any elegant event for up to 400 guests, and includes windows with stunning views of the city skyline. In addition, two large patio areas overlook the city with see-it-to-believe-it city views that will truly WOW your guests! The Together and Company team can even design an event and flow for your large party of 700+ guests that incorporates all of these spaces. Is it possible for a place to be large AND welcoming? The Fives!
And finally, we mentioned the outside community spaces. An amphitheater and Riverside Park this summer will be the location for lots of fun, and we know everyone will be thrilled with the tons of free parking.
Would you like to see it all for yourself? Easy. Check it out HERE. You’ll love it.
Congratulations and all the best to Angela and the Together and Company team. They have worked hard to bring this dream to reality, and it is wonderful!

What makes a photo booth FUN? One that can inspire your guests to be creative, interactive, and have a great time together. Purrhaps you would like to know more? Read on.
WHAT IS FIZZY CAT?
The coolest, most stylish photo booth experience in Central Ohio.
DOES FIZZY CAT PRINT THOSE TINY, LITTLE PHOTO STRIPS?
No! Those are terrible. Fizzy only prints large, beautiful single image 4” x 6” prints. Take a look HERE to see the difference.
WHAT ABOUT PROPS?
Fizzy Cat brings a fabulous mixture of fun props. Your Booth Butler will help your guests choose just the right props for just the right photo from our Cool and Unique collection, to make sure each photo is, well, cool and unique. Purrfect.
HOLD ON. WHAT’S A BOOTH BUTLER?
Your awesome Fizzy Cat professional who has one goal; to properly and purrfectly serve you and your guests.
SO, WHAT ARE “COOL AND UNIQUE” PROPS?
Puppets. Hats. Cat Toys. Frames. Playful, lovable and quirky stuff.
Sometimes the purrfect prop is already at the party!
DOES FIZZY CAT GO OUTSIDE?
Sorry, but Fizzy Cat is an indoor photo booth.
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN FIT IN ONE PICTURE?
So far, we’ve had 14 people in the booth at one time, but we think your guests can probably beat that.
WHAT IS LIVE VIEW TOUCH SCREEN?
All of Fizzy’s commands are simply operated by touch screen. Guests can see their photo on the screen just before it’s snapped. Super fun and easy.
HOW MUCH TIME IS NEEDED FOR SET UP?
We only need one hour to set up before the photo fun begins. And, Fizzy Cat never charges for set-up or tear-down time… only “Playtime”.
HOW MUCH ROOM DOES FIZZY CAT NEED?
9 feet wide by 9 feet deep with a solid floor is necessary. Fizzy Cat needs to be within 30 feet from a standard 120V 3-prong electrical outlet.
THE FIZZY CAT AND FULL FURBALL PACKAGES INCLUDE ONE HOUR OF IDLE TIME. WHAT IS THAT?
Idle time is when you may not need photo booth fun during a certain time in your event, for example during your dinner hour. In that case FIZZY CAT takes a nap during dinner, and then wakes up for more playtime after dinner.
OK. SO HOW DO I BOOK FIZZY CAT FOR MY CELEBRATION?
Simply click RESERVE and fill out our reservation inquiry to check Fizzy’s availability for your date. We’ll send you a booking form to receive a contract. It’s that simple.
CAN I MEET FIZZY CAT?
We were hoping you would ask that. Fizzy Cat lives right here in our office. Give us a call (614.529.6777) or shoot us an email (hello@fizzycatphotobooth.com) and let’s set up a time for you to meet Fizzy Cat, and have a couple of photos taken, too.
IS FIZZY CAT AS AWESOME AS SHE SOUNDS?
Columbus Weddings Magazine just released a brand new issue, and we were delighted to see one of our favorite 2019 couples, Tyler and Justin, featured in the “I Do Advice” section. So perfect.
Tyler and Justin hosted their wedding celebration at the Wells Barn of Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. The day was lovely for the summer ceremony in the beautiful backyard of The Wells Barn, and also the lively cocktail hour that followed. Guests were then invited into the barn for dinner and an epic dance party. So much fun!

Danni and Mark had an incredible day for their Franklin Park Conservatory wedding, and we were with them every step of the way.
If you’ve ever been to The Wells Barn at Franklin Park Conservatory, you already know that it is a unique and gorgeous place for a wedding. Danni and Mark also used all of the outside gardens available to them, and their guests really loved it.
Asteria Photography
The wedding ceremony began with a beautiful piano version of Here Comes The Sun. The ceremony was officiated by the Bride’s brother, and included a sweet poem read by her Aunt. The recessional was Home by Phillip Phillips.
Immediately following the ceremony we organized some special photos. One of all of the guests, and a bunch of specific family and friend groups too. Caroline at Asteria Photography made that all fun and quick!

After cocktails and conservatory tours, guests were ushered back to The Wells Barn for dinner and so much dancing. It was complete with glow sticks, and a ton of throwback 90s and early 00s songs. The blowout dance party ended in a giant dance circle. After that, a beautiful sparkler exit.
