There are also a variety of potential ceremony locations within walking distance. We chose the Apollo Theater across the street. The team at the hotel, especially Lauren, was responsive and helpful every step of the way. The chef and Lauren worked together to accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions and requests (e.g. extra entree option, catered lunch and snacks...). They were also helpful with managing the linen rentals, room design, and room block reservations. Guests were charmed by Oberlin and gave us feedback that they enjoyed being able to slow and down and enjoy small town life during the weekend. Thank you Lauren and the rest of the team of making our weekend so special:) Photo: Photo credit Lindsey Beckwith, florals by Blossom.

We can’t say enough nice things about this place! Most importantly to us was the excellent communication at every step of the planning process. The space is warm, somewhat (but not overly) fancy, reasonably priced, and welcoming to any size party. Lake Affect gave us a vibe so special it made my dad cry, but never feeling “formal” - aka stuffy. Our only warning to other couples is to plan for extra lighting in the ceremony space. We were VERY impressed with Stefanie’s problem solving ability when vendor issues came up on the day of the rehearsal. LGBTQ friendly as well!

This venue is unreal. The rooftop is just so cool and unique and the views are incredible. The fourth floor reception space was beautiful as well. So many of our guests told us how much they loved the vibe of the venue. There are so many beautiful photo locations throughout the building inside and outside. Tracey was amazing to work with - it was so clear she knew what she was doing and I never had to stress at all. The midges came out the week of our October wedding so we had to make a decision about the rooftop, but Tracey was so helpful and luckily we were able to do rooftop ceremony and serve cocktail hour food and drinks on the fourth floor. It is so cool that the rooftop stays open all night - our guests loved it! Also, the bar staff was incredible and the drinks were amazing! The bride and groom suites were so convenient too. It was so nice for our bridal parties to hang out there all morning and made clean up so easy and flexible.

My husband and I, and all of our guests, had the time of our lives on our wedding night at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History on 7/13/24. Words simply cannot describe how perfect the museum and their staff made our evening. -First and foremost, the museum has the most helpful and attentive staff. Anne, the manager of private events at the museum, made our process so smooth and stress free. She really had our back throughout our year of planning and she was more than happy to accommodate all of our requests for our party. -The newly renovated hall made for an immense amount of space for our 200 guests and the beauty and cleanliness of the hall had us and our guests in awe. When I, the bride, first walked in the hall on our wedding day, I broke town in tears with how beautiful it was. It was seriously the setup and design of our dreams. Our guests could not stop raving about how cool our venue was- we were told by several guests that it was coolest wedding they had ever been to. The dinosaur and exhibits added a unique feel to the evening which our guests really appreciated. -My husband and I really wanted to make sure we had a huge dance floor when searching for reception halls. Anne made sure to listen to our plans for a big dance floor and she executed them perfectly! The entire layout of the hall worked out nicely. Our DJ had more than enough space for all of his gear as well. -The food was amazing- simply put. Levy is the catering/ restaurant company that the museum is partnered with for event food. I have never had better wedding food in my life- and our guests agreed. We received a lot of positive feedback from our guests about how amazing the food was. We highly recommend the garlic braised short rib and airline chicken for meals (the cauliflower steak vegetarian dish was highly enjoyed as well). We also highly recommend the shrimp and beef Wellington passed appetizers- those were also a huge hit. All of the food and drinks were perfect. Lindsey, the catering sales manager, was so helpful to work with when planning our menu. She was more than willing to make a few changes to the menu to make sure our night was perfect. -We used the cake company associated with Levy- the bakers name is Sarah. We had the lemon cake with strawberry cream- and again, so amazing and a huge hit! She allowed us to drop off a few of our florals the day before so they could be added to the cake decor. It ended up more beautiful than I could have imagined. -The wait staff and bartenders with Levy were some of the best we have experienced at an event this big. Again, our guests gave us feedback about how attentive, kind and efficient the wait staff was. If you are on the fence about who to book for your wedding reception venue, your answer is right here. CMNH is the move! I would use them again for another large event if the opportunity presented itself. Thank you so much CMNH and Levy! We had the best wedding thanks to you. P.S- there’s nothing better than eating and drinking under a dinosaur!

I can’t say enough great things about Sam and the staff at La Vera! My father’s Celebration of Life was, without a doubt, one of the smoothest and easiest events I’ve ever organized, largely thanks to the incredible team at La Vera. Not only are their prices affordable (especially considering how stunning the facility is), but their catering was fantastic—everyone raved about the delicious food. When we unexpectedly had more guests than anticipated, Sam and the team handled it flawlessly. They set up an extra table on the spot and ensured there was more food ready without missing a beat. It was completely seamless! On a day when we were already overwhelmed by emotions and details, La Vera made everything so much easier. Thank you, Sam, and the entire La Vera staff, for your kindness, professionalism, and support. You made a difficult day memorable in the best way.
