We had a fantastic experience hosting our wedding at the House of Blues Cleveland. The venue offers a unique, vintage vibe that perfectly matched the aesthetic we were going for. Haley and her team were communicative, direct, and thoughtful every step of the way. They made sure we understood all the details and helped us create a smooth, stress-free wedding day. The all-inclusive wedding package was a great value - it covered everything from decor to catering to extra rehearsal time before so we could practice our first dance. On the big day itself, Haley and staff were attentive without being overbearing. They made sure we wanted for nothing. The vintage, rock and roll atmosphere was full of warmth and joy. We highly recommend the House of Blues Cleveland for couples looking to celebrate their marriage in style!

We traveled to Las Vegas to get married. We knew we wanted to celebrate with family and friends upon our return home. We wanted it to be a party to remember, with a live band and great food, so we spent a lot of time scouting out possibilites. I wish we would have met up with the team at Music Box first! Right away, we knew it was a win. Not only is the venue GORGEOUS (we had our reception on the lower level in the Supper Club - PERFECT), but it had the capability to provide professional live music, insanely delicious food that our guests were raving about for days afterwards, and the best customer service I could have asked for from the team. And to top it off, they worked with our budget to ensure we could have an amazing event without breaking the bank. Specifically, our coordinator, Marissa, and our server, Christina, went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time of our lives. Our reception was a bit unconventional, but they went with our ideas and made them even better than we could have imagined. The night was so amazing that our guests told us we should have a party just like our reception every five years. I can't recommend Music Box Supper Club any more for your event, I promise it will be a night to remember!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding here last week (2.24.24) and I cannot thank the staff enough. I knew when we started wedding planning that I wanted a warehouse vibe and Lake Affect Studios was the first place we actually went to look at and I fell in love. From the beautiful lighting fixtures, the bar, gorgeous wood floors, windows, private wedding party space and the separate ceremony area I knew I wanted to have my wedding and reception here. (Even the bathrooms took my breath away.) I loved that they offered tables and chairs and it allowed me to be creative with my diy vision. Throughout wedding planning, Amanda and Stefanie were so helpful in making my dreams come to life. On actual wedding day everything was absolutely flawless and I was blown away in every possible way. The bartenders were so nice and we got so many compliments on the service and how gorgeous the space was. I will recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for an alternative to the classic ballroom type wedding. It was everything I wanted and more. Thank you so much. - Rachel & Pete

I Have had the privilege to work with the Ariel Centers for several years now. Their venues are gorgeous and are considered to be premier centers in the Cleveland area. The best perk couples get when they choose one of the Ariel centers is getting to work with one of their coordinators. All of them are knowledgeable, experienced and focused on creating the perfect wedding day for their clients. They also work hand in hand with all the vendors to ensure that everything goes according to schedule and the couples every need is met!
