Wedding venue shopping is a lot on a couple. It takes time and energy and can be very stressful. However, when we say we found the perfect place we mean it. Donauschwaben’s was one of our venue choices coming highly recommended by our friends and family already. We reached out through their website and within no time we got an immediate response from the Christine, Event/ Wedding planner to set up a meeting together. She is not only extremely kind, but had everything organized so beautifully to choose from it was a no-brainer to choose this venue. She even recommended our DJ who had played a previous wedding there who was incredible. All communication leading up to our big day was efficient and layed out easily for us to understand. Our checks were deposited in a timely manner by the venue, our tasting was so nice and so delicious. The no pressure wedding planning was worth every penny spent. Our wedding day was so special and so beautiful from start to finish from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to our lovely reception to follow. Not only was Christine present the day of, but the staff was also on their A game all night long. Everyone was so incredibly friendly and kind, we felt like royalty. We both highly recommend this venue and if you do, definitely get the Schnitzel, Prost! The only recommendation to the venue would be to update their beverage packages to include seltzers such as High noons or White claws.

I could not more highly recommend Kristen! Kristen was one of the very first vendors that I booked for my August 2024 wedding and I could not be more happy in that decision. Kristen's style is timeless and true to color. She focuses on capturing the day as it happens rather than focusing only on super posed shots- which I love! Kristen's communication is clear, prompt, and honest- I so appreciated her insight through the wedding planning process and especially in developing the timeline. We also received far more sneak peeks than we expected and I'm still shocked with how quickly we received our full gallery! Kristen, we are so happy you were there to capture our day!

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

We had our wedding at The Madison and it was absolutely perfect! The venue itself is stunning, and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting for our big day. From the very beginning, Daryl was incredible, so helpful, attentive, and on top of every detail. He and his team truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran seamlessly. What stood out most was how well they listened to exactly what we wanted and made it all happen. Their communication was excellent, their attention to detail unmatched, and as a bride, that gave me so much peace of mind. I was able to fully relax and enjoy the day, completely stress-free. Thanks to them, we danced the night away and had the absolute best time! I cannot recommend The Madison enough—the space, the staff, and the experience were all amazing. If you’re looking for a dream wedding venue, this is it!

I booked C-Town Entertainment at the recommendation of another bride, and I was so happy with Bob and his assistant! I may be biased, but ours was one of the most fun weddings I have been to. Everything ran smoothly and Bob did a great job reading the room and picking songs that brought people to the dance floor whenever needed. He checked in with me and my family/bridal party throughout the evening and made last minute adjustments as needed. He was professional and made sure we had all the moments and songs that we wanted. I have been to weddings with DJs who were not as skilled and it makes a big difference in the flow and energy of the evening. My guests started chanting “one more song!” at the end of the evening, and I think that says it all. I cannot thank you all enough for the care you put into our wedding!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Joe and Ashley! From start to finish, they were an absolute dream to work with. Their warmth and friendliness instantly put us at ease, making the entire experience feel effortless and fun. The calls before the wedding to go over details were incredibly helpful, ensuring everything ran smoothly on the big day. One thing that meant a lot to me was getting specific photos with certain family members and bridal party groups, and Joe and Ashley made that happen seamlessly. Being able to send them a list of must-have shots was such a relief, and they powered through it all while still keeping things fun and natural. Those photos will be cherished for a lifetime! And if you’re on the fence about video—DO IT. Having a beautifully edited video with sound clips woven in so perfectly brought our wedding day back to life in a way that photos alone just can’t. The way they captured every little moment, every emotion—it’s truly priceless. Joe and Ashley are not just incredibly talented at what they do, but they also make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer who genuinely care, are highly organized, and will capture your wedding day in the most perfect way possible, look no further. We are beyond grateful!

Dwight was awesome to work with and went above and beyond for our wedding video. We initially hired him to shoot the wedding so we could experience the ceremony again. After the mass, he offered to follow us to our first picture location so he could get shots to use for a highlight video. This turned out to be an additional 4 minute video of snapshots of the afternoon when we were taking pictures. He also had a great ceremony video and got audio of myself and my wife as I was mic'd up before the ceremony. That was a great addition to our video. I was the first of my friends to get married and have since recommended Dwight to them. I was very pleased and would use their services again and hope that others do as well.

Working with Human Artist Photography & Cinematic was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

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

Jennifer Cruz was the makeup artist for my August wedding and she was lovely to work with and is obviously a skilled MUA! I am not a “makeup” person and I was a little intimidated by bridal makeup in general, but Jennifer was really patient and supportive with me as I figured out my look. The trial was easy to set up and she was great about showing me different levels of makeup heaviness, which helped me visualize and choose my look, which I wanted to be more natural. She was also super flexible when I ended up wanting to change things up a bit on the big day. I felt beautiful at my wedding, and glamorous in a way that I almost never look! The mothers, my sister and friend also had makeup done and everyone looked stunning. We were all done on time and the vibes were fun and easy-going as we were all getting ready. I definitely recommend booking Facecanvas!

I am a harpist and attorney whose passion for music and justice inspires my creative process. I have diverse playing experiences spanning across my career as a harpist. I began playing harp at the age of 8. At the age of 9, I was invited to participate in Jocelyn Chang’s Harp Ensemble, a group of 12 talented harpist who played during the holiday season. I have also won awards at the Ohio Scottish Games. At Smith College, I played in Orchestra for the performance of Swan Lake, Wind Ensemble and the Celtic Ensemble known as the Wailing Banshees. I am always excited for new opportunities to share my passion for harp music!

Sarah was a great Harpist for our wedding! All communications and prep work were easy and professional. The pieces of music we chose were played beautifully and Sarah had a great repertoire from which to choose. Sarah was recommended to me by a friend and I would certainly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a Harpist for their wedding!

Rae of Fun Events is a locally owned, female-led event planning and party rental business born from a deep love of celebration and connection. What began as a joyful hobby—planning birthdays, graduations, and weddings for family and friends—soon grew into something much more.

Rae of Fun Events was amazing to work with for our wedding! From the start, her communication was fast and efficient - she was always quick to respond to my questions and ideas. Everything she did for our wedding exceeded my standards. She knew exactly what I needed to jazz up every idea I threw her way, and she was amazing to work with all around. She was so helpful in areas I was confused in, and made my special day worry-free and I truly couldn't have asked for anything more.

As an ambient acoustical guitarist, I've had the pleasure of working with Gary Perl for over 20 yrs. During that time we have worked together at numerous weddings.
