We could not have asked for a better wedding venue! We had about 160 guests, and having both the ceremony and reception on-site made the entire day seamless and stress-free. The space was beautiful, and everything ran perfectly. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the staff, especially Sam. Sam went above and beyond from day one. Without Sam, I’m not sure we would have even chosen this venue. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made us feel so supported every step of the way. Sam made sure our vision came to life and kept everything running smoothly so we could just enjoy our day. If you’re considering this venue, do it… and if you get to work with Sam, you’re in the best hands possible.

The Factory was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. April was super responsive and accommodating in planning our day! We would however recommend a wedding planner/coordinator which was an option within the venue packages. We went without a planner and had to scramble to orchestrate some details the day of. Small details, but overall a great experience and would absolutely recommend for couples that are looking for a more casual wedding day!

Originally built in the early 1900s for luxury faucet manufacturing, the 22,000 square foot warehouse sat empty for decades.

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.

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!

first off, I want to say the team at Sun Valley is amazing. They were always so fast to answer all of my questions (and trust me I had plenty). They are kind, fun, and passionate about what they do. The grounds are beautiful. Every single person I encountered through Sun Valley was so kind, making sure everything was perfect and seeing if there was absolutely anything we needed/if there was anything they could do to make the whole experience better. Once it all came together, it couldn’t have been a more beautiful venue. The ponds are stunning and being able to have the ceremony there was absolutely amazing. The inside is so spacious and even with everyone in the building, it never felt crowded or “full”, but it also didn’t look empty. The tile wall behind where the head table goes is stunning. It comes out so well in pictures. Some of the decor didn’t go with our style and they were totally okay with us putting anything that didn’t go in the storage room for the night. I received so many compliments on how it is the most beautiful venue they’ve ever seen. Things I’d like to mention is: there are bed and breakfasts kind of close by, but only hold ?60 people. The closest hotel is a Marriott and it’s 20 minutes away and they only have 1 shuttle that holds 11 people. There isn’t great service out there so Ubers weren’t super easy to get so we rented shuttles. All worked out totally fine, but just something to keep in mind. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with Sun Valley: the look of the ceremony/cocktail hour and reception, the people (literally everyone that works there: AMAZING), the catering options (we chose A Taste of Excellence which we also HIGHLY recommend because wow), the whole experience. I am so beyond thrilled and couldn’t imagine my day anywhere else. I am so thankful for everyone there and had so much fun with them, they were some of my favorite people there. but seriously, I am so happy with my choice of Sun Valley and highly highly recommend!!!! Thank you Sun Valley for making our day so special

After hosting one on this site under a tent we rented, we decided this is a beautiful setting for a wedding venue. We wanted to give our guests a beautiful dream country wedding, but design it to be more industrial and modern and less rustic than comparable venues. Our hope is to give each couple, a unique, beautiful setting while ensuring they have the wedding of their dreams. We work with each couple from the time we meet them through their day, making sure we meet all their needs and coordinating with their vendors to ensure they have as stress free and enjoyable day as possible.

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of being the first wedding held at The Barn at Seneca Hills, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We knew there would be challenges as the venue was still being finalized, but Sarah Bolte went above and beyond to ensure everything was ready for our big day. She answered all of our questions promptly, often going the extra mile to coordinate with her team during renovations. Her dedication and care for the couples she works with are truly unmatched. The venue itself is breathtaking—rustic, modern, and newly renovated. We intentionally kept our decorations minimal to let the beauty of the space shine through. The garage doors were a highlight, giving us seamless indoor-outdoor flow for cocktail hour and access to the bar. Our guests loved the fire pits scattered throughout the property, allowing them to enjoy the beautiful grounds and move freely between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The bartenders were fantastic, providing excellent service and ensuring our guests were happy with the drink selections we had chosen. Every detail about the space contributed to a smooth, memorable experience. For couples planning their ceremony, I highly recommend hosting it on-site. The grounds provided a stunning setting, and being able to transition effortlessly from ceremony to reception on the same property allowed us to fully enjoy our day without the stress of travel. Our sunset photos were magical and some of our favorites from the day. Sarah’s organization and thoughtful approach were especially helpful since we planned everything ourselves. She provided us with all the tools and support we needed for a seamless wedding. It’s clear she genuinely cares about making each couple’s experience special. The Barn at Seneca Hills is a gem in Northwest Ohio. From its incredible property to Sarah’s dedication and kindness, the experience was everything we hoped for and more. If you’re looking for a venue that’s beautiful, versatile, and run by someone who truly loves what they do, this is the place for you. We couldn’t be happier with our decision and will cherish the memories forever.

We were married at Hotel Covington in September 2024 and it was hands down one of the best decisions we have ever made. We knew we wanted a fully outdoor wedding with food and drink provided on-site, and HC provided exactly that. I could go on forever about how wonderful every single person was – Ashley was amazing getting us started with HC, then seamlessly handed us over to Riley who was with us until the day of the wedding. The staff was attentive to our needs, and we were so bummed when the night was over. All our guests (including our sweet doggie) felt incredibly welcome. We have officially made it a point to visit Hotel Covington every few months for drinks, and plan to stay there again for our anniversary. Thank you to the entire team at HC : )

The Backstage Event Center was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, the staff was friendly, helpful, and responsive, making the planning process stress-free. Prior to the wedding they worked with us to plan the order of events and helped us plan our vision for decorations. On the day of, they executed our vision flawlessly and made the set up and rehearsal process so easy. Elenya and her team even improvised when we lost the cord to our neon name sign before drop off and they searched everywhere until they found a backup. The Backstage's combination of stunning exposed brick, warm lighting, and flexible layout allowed us to create the perfect ambiance for our special day. The celebration was perfect from start to finish and everyone was on the floor dancing all night.

The Lake Erie Building 

5.0

Lakewood, OH
  • 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
  • Accommodates more than 200 guests
  • Wheelchair accessible

Venue considerations

  • No built-in audiovisual options
  • Does not have a dance floor
  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
Lake Erie Building is the perfect venue if you want to decorate your space exactly as you want it! Having early access to the space days before the wedding was worth its weight in gold. And the “bones” of the space are stunning. The venue coordinator, Hannah, was great to work with too. She gave us great recommendations for vendors and insight into the planning process. The reason for the 4 stars for the clarity of communication is because the contract had some inaccurate information, which I found annoying because I’m a “rules” person. But I can’t recommend this venue enough!!

This is the perfect spot for those brides, they get a space where they can still make it feel special, that is tailored to a intimate amount of guests, without having to pay out a crap ton of money. I have seen bridal showers and rehearsal dinners here as well, great space for your cozy personal bride.
