The Berwick is a family-owned banquet and catering venue in Columbus, Ohio, with roots going back to 1955, when Tony and Maria Susi opened "The Berwick Seafood Manor" in Bexley. By 1964 the business had grown enough to move to its current location on Refugee Road, where an 11,500-square-foot facility now houses six banquet rooms, a dining room, and a lounge — the same space three generations of the Susi family have operated ever since. The venue accommodates private events from 10 to 400 guests, with room rental built into per-person menu pricing along with all standard linens, china, flatware, glassware, and professional staff for setup, service, and cleanup. The kitchen handles all food and beverage in-house, drawing on decades of Italian family recipes and custom menu creation. On-site wedding ceremonies are available, and the team works directly with each couple from menu selection through the last dance.
