Lake Affect was the perfect venue for our wedding in May 2025! It was our first and last venue we looked at. First, they only do 1 wedding/event a weekend - which made us feel prioritized and we didn’t have to rush to set up. The space is so cool and you can make it your own style. We got so many compliments of the space and how great it looked. The prices are BEYOND fair - plus the bar service is in house and we had to choose a caterer from their list; we loved that because it was less looking around. They are constantly updating the space to make it better and updated. Stefanie was absolutely fantastic and answered all my questions and was always so prompt! If you’re looking for a space to make your own, Lake Affect is an absolute hidden gem.

Ariel International Center 

5.0

Cleveland, OH
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Ariel International Center is a renovated 100-year old historic, rustic red brick building, with large windows, elegant chandeliers, high wood ceilings and earth tone wall colors. Opened in 2012, the event center is unmatched in providing for a memorable event with unforgettable sunset views over Lake Erie and a perfect view of the Cleveland Skyline.

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.

The Madison 

5.0

Cleveland, OH
  • Up to 600 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $8,500

Originally built in the early 1900s for luxury faucet manufacturing, the 22,000 square foot warehouse sat empty for decades. The creative potential of the location caught our eye, and in 2016, we went to work to renovate the building. As event vendors ourselves, we designed The Madison to be the best parts of every cool venue we’ve ever worked from Seattle to New York City and Chicago to the Caribbean. In 2018, we reopened the restored space The Madison. We quickly gained acclaim from the area’s top event planners, community collaborators, and even local professional athletes. As Northeast Ohio’s premier event venue, our mission is to cultivate human connection and life’s treasured moments. You’ll find it effortless to work with us and within the space so you can focus more on your goals – and your guests.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Classic, vintage atmosphere
  • Space for a large guest list
  • Multiple event spaces

Venue considerations

  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
  • Limited cleanup and setup services
  • Lighting and sound are not included

I cannot give this venue enough praise! We had the most incredible experience at The Madison for our wedding. From start to finish, it exceeded our expectations in every way and I only have Daryl and Anthony to thank for that. The space is absolutely stunning. I loved that it is a blank slate and that we could decorate it how we wanted. The creative freedom was important to me. Daryl and Anthony are exceptional! They were super understanding when we needed to reschedule and were super easy and fun to work with. We highly recommend The Madison to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free (no literally, I was so calm) wedding day. We will forever cherish the memories that were made here and we are so thankful for everything Daryl and Anthony did to make our day so magical. 3
