The Lake Erie Building 

5.0

Lakewood, OH
  • Up to 349 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $5,000

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. (If you know of Lakewood, you know parking is a hot commodity)

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!

The Venues at 78th Street Studios was an amazing choice for our wedding. From the start, their communication was straightforward and fast, which made the planning process so much easier. The space itself is incredible - a blank canvas that allowed us to truly make it our own. Working with David, the manager, to customize the event locations was so helpful. On the day of the wedding, the staff went above and beyond to ensure I was happy and that all of our vendors could do their thing seamlessly.

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!

The Madison

Cleveland, OH

  • 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.

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
