The Lake Erie Building 

5.0

Lakewood, OH
  • Venue
  • Up to 349 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $4,000

Five fun facts about the Lake Erie Building: 1. We were originally built to be Templar Motors back in 1917. There were less than 3,000 of these cars ever manufactured and if you look carefully, you may even be able to spot one while in the event space! 2. Omni Lakewood purchased the building in 2005 and now manages the building, which has been divided into individual suites that are home to over 100 businesses. 3. The west parking lot where our dock is located used to be a test track for Templar Motors. 4. We host only one event per weekend and give our clients access beginning on Wednesday so they can bring in all their personal touches! We also only require cards and gifts go with them that night and everything else can stay giving you more time to spend with your new spouse! 5. We include a private parking lot and have a huge municipal lot across the street that's available to guests. We offer 3 wedding rental packages.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides event staff

They work closely with others vendors and provide so many goods and services to accessorize your day. The Lake Erie building is so pretty that it makes decorating a breeze, and the aesthetic is your photographer’s dream. I don’t know why you’d get married anywhere else in Cleveland!

Woodland Coffee Co. 

5.0

Lakewood, OH
  • Bar services & beverages
  • Starts at $650

Hey there! My name's Brennan. When my fiancé Juliet and I, newly engaged, settled into our new life together in Cleveland, Ohio, we decided to create something based off of our passion for good coffee. Taking inspiration from our favorite specialty cafes, we both decided to finally start building our dream, in the form of a coffee cart. We opened for business in May of 2024 and have been doing weekly events ever since! Since then, our goal has been to transition from our weekly market to private events, especially weddings. We want to be that special addition to your wedding and are dedicated to making that happen.

I don’t really drink coffee much, but I had to try out this cart’s drinks because the look and amazing smell of their business was hard to resist! I had never seen an espresso cart before so I was impressed how nice of a setup this business had, and how good the coffee I order was. To top it off I had a real great conversation with the owners of Woodland Coffee and want to keep supporting these entrepreneurs.

Sterling Alchemy was the perfect wedding planning partner for us. Their communication was instant, fun, flexible, friendly, and caring throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly spectacular - they were awesome, amazing, and phenomenal in every way. For example, they served us at our buffet so we could enjoy our meal at a normal pace, and they ran our timeline so smoothly that we never felt rushed, even when we had a tight window for sunset photos. Amber made our lives so easy, and we are forever thankful for her incredible service. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner! Plus, she made our seating chart! Pictures below.

My name is Allie but most of my friends and family call me Lamb. I am a visual storyteller fueled by caffeine! Cleveland Scene ranked me the #1 photographer on Best of Cleveland. I would describe my photography style as timeless & classic and consider myself an emotional photographer. I love capturing the in-between moments or candid moments but I also give a ton of cues and direction when needed! I want you and your spouse to enjoy your special day and trust that it will be captured in the most authentic way. My goal is to be the ultimate hype girl behind the camera. Capturing core memories in the form of photos is my literal dream come.

We absolutely loved working with Lamb Photography for our wedding! We’ve trusted them with all of our big life moments, and once again they exceeded every expectation. Lauren photographed our wedding day and Allie edited our photos — and together they created images we will cherish forever. Allie and her team are the perfect blend of professional and fun. They know exactly what to do in every wedding situation, keep the day running smoothly, and make you feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Our photos are gorgeous, perfectly edited, and truly capture the emotion of the day. We can’t wait to get them printed for our home… and we’re already excited for our next photo shoot. Highly, highly recommend!

Venue considerations

  • Can not accomodate large big events
My husband and I initially wanted to elope. That is, until, we found this space. If you want your wedding day to feel like an absolute dream, while still being intimate and beautiful, you need to book CoLab. We had our ceremony there, and it was perfection from start to finish. Maureen is truly everything—she was with us every step of the way, making sure everything was just right and exactly what we wanted and hoped for. She handled every curveball and question with total grace. The space itself is gorgeous. It's airy while still being moody. There are so many beautiful details around the space that make for a perfect backdrop. The decor adds so much to the space without taking away from your event. CoLab is gorgeous but I truly believe that it’s Maureen that makes it special. She genuinely cares about her clients, and it shows. I felt like I had a close friend there for me as we were waiting for the ceremony to begin, which is exactly what you want and need. Someone in your corner, hyping you up, and bringing the kindest presence to the day. Even if you opt out of her being there for you day-of, know that everything she does behind the scenes before the event is worth the cost and then some. If you want a ceremony spot that feels like a cozy, beautiful home for your big day, this is it. And if you’re on the fence—just do it. You’ll thank me later! (If you're doing ceremony-only at CoLab, I'd recommend that you book the extra lounge space, trust me! We booked both spaces and it made for such a seamless day and gave folks a place to mignle and chat before and after the ceremony!)

Maggie Mitchell Events

Lakewood, OH
  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services

Based in Cleveland, Ohio, Maggie Mitchell Events is a wedding and event planning company. This team's mission is to provide effortless and unforgettable events. They are here to advocate for and create ever-lasting relationships with every client, so you can feel comfortable and entrust them with planning your most special day.

I cannot say enough good things about Maggie as a wedding planner and person. We hired Maggie to plan our wedding from start to finish and it was the best decision we made. To offer context, we tasked Maggie with taking an old, rather outdated country club, and asked her to transform the venue all while managing accommodations for over 260 people. Additionally, the country club was a complete blank canvas which required us to bring in vendors for every single detail. Not only did Maggie handpick top-notch vendors and successfully manage them all, but she did so with the most calm and pleasant demeanor. The country club manager said that out of the many wedding planners he has worked with over the years, Maggie is by far the best because she was enjoyable to work with and incredibly good at her job. We couldn't agree more. My entire family is thankful for Maggie and what she did for us. She was a rockstar from the moment we met her and even after the wedding when she kindly held a ton of wedding supplies at her home so that we didn't have to worry about grabbing them the day after the wedding. As a bride who has dreamed of her wedding day for as long as I can remember, I can confidently say Maggie Mitchell Events made my dreams come true!

Andrew Morrell Photography 

5.0

Lakewood, OH
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,800

While I've been photographing weddings for 20 years, my professional career began far from cameras. I created NPR's first satellite news stream and in 2006, after I left the NPR world, I fell in love with photographing weddings! I spent the majority of my wedding career in Washington DC, and relocated to Cleveland in 2023.

My husband and I could not recommend Andrew more highly. We were immediately struck by his unique documentary-style and engaging photography. From our first encounter with him, we were inspired by Andrew’s passion, creativity, whimsy, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Over our planing calls, we got to know one another well and build a vision for the day that Andrew executed above and beyond any hopes or expectations. He captured organic moments of joy, connection, reverence, and raw emotion that tell a story of our relationship and community, not just a highlight reel of posed moments. Prepared with jokes, candor, and some serious running shoes, his energy and warmth made him a huge hit with our guests - people are commenting on how wonderful he was weeks later. Look no further for your photographer!

We had a fabulous wedding reception at the Donauschwaben German Cultural Center (Lenau Park). Their entire staff—from their awesome coordinator Christine to their banquet captain and bar staff—was so kind, so professional, and most importantly made our guests feel welcome and taken care of. Christine came to every meeting organized and prepared. She understands the details as well as the emotions that go into planning a wedding and was a great part of our support system. She is fair and reasonable—even helped us make a German Hall a little more “Italian” for the bride. We could not have asked for a better partner! As for the venue itself, it was the perfect place to host 300 of our closest friends and family. The space was beautiful, bright and happy. Our guests were comfortably seated at 32 round tables of 8 to 10. The team made all of our décor visions come to life. The outdoor patio was welcoming and comfortable for guests as well. The dance floor is huge! Perfect for an Italian tarantella. I would also say the room is set up well acoustically—with 300 people in the room and music playing, you could still hear the other people at your table. The entryway was also perfect for our receiving line. We were happy to see that guests could enjoy their time—whether they wanted to dance the night away, sit and chat, or just enjoy the night air with family. The food was excellent—seriously excellent. We got so many compliments after the wedding! They have their buffet line down to a science with all of our guests being served in a reasonable amount of time. They also did a great job of meeting the needs of our gluten- and dairy-free guests. That is so hard to do when you are feeding so many people, and even these guests said they enjoyed their meals. Finally, the money we spent on this wedding reception was well worth the value. The food and beverage packages are incredibly fair for the quality and the amount of food your guests will be served. We were also able to add appetizers and some special add-ons at a reasonable rate. The linens are provided by a separate vendor, but even those costs were not too bad, and everything looked beautiful when it was decorated! While there are certain rules the venue must follow and sometimes we needed to negotiate the details, Christine was highly transparent and upfront with us, and always worked with us to find the right solution for our day. After hosting our wedding here, we would absolutely do it again with this space and this team. When it comes to the Donauschwaben, we strongly recommend them for your wedding reception and cannot say enough good things about their level of service!

Formly Known as Sage & Iron Images, I operate as a portrait photographer based in Cleveland, Ohio, with a specialized focus on capturing evocative, dark, and conceptual themes. Over a span of 17 years, I have honed my craft in photography. My educational background includes the attainment of a Certificate of Photography from the Hallmark Institute of Photography in Massachusetts and being self taught.

We needed a photographer experienced with low light photography because our ceremony was at 5pm in November. We wanted classy, romantic indoor and outdoor photos! We had ideas, but also needed professional suggestions. Ashley's edgy and moody photography paired with our more traditional-style wedding produced the most romantic photos! Intimate, secretive, vintage. My SIL found a cool lounge space for our indoor photos and Ashely quickly adjusted to this impromptu find. Ashely is very easy to communicate with and pleasant to work with.

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 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.

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.

Hi – I’m Lauren Bolan, Owner, Photographer & Graphic Designer of Magnolia Pine. I currently reside in Cleveland, Ohio, the land that I love! I absolutely enjoy capturing & creating timeless pieces for my clients and their special day! There is just something magical about weddings & special events! I’m super detail oriented and I’m very particular, so you can be assured that I will take good care of your products and put so much love into them!

Awarded Best of Zola
I originally was not going to go the photographer route but when I changed my mind a week and a half out, Magnolia Pine was there for us. I am incredibly grateful and impressed by the level of effort Lauren put in with such little time to go. The day of the wedding she went out of her way to buy props that she thought fit our aesthetic and she exceeded anything I could have come up with on my own. She truly made us feel like the day was ours and that we were the guests of honor at our wedding and I can’t say enough great things. The pictures came back in less than 2 months which was the perfect time to go through and relieve the moments. We even received preview pictures early on to hold us over. If you want someone that will be able to fit the vibe you are looking for even with other pressures from guests, Lauren is your girl!

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!

The day of came and Christna, Matt and Erik were incredible they rolled with whatever my crew threw at them from my groom and his friends weird shenanigans to making sure they got all the pictures of my mom and her dad dancing.

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!
