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

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.

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!

When researching venues to have our wedding we kept coming back to this one and got married here in October. We loved the outdoor ceremony space, which was absolutely stunning with all of the fall colors. We loved the reception space for its spaciousness and what we could do with it, it was the perfect space for a fun filled reception. From the beginning everyone we worked with was very helpful and always thorough when answering any questions we had throughout the planning process.

Planning a wedding is stressful. I had a tendency to second-guess everything I picked. But one thing that never changed was us picking Pinstripes as our venue. Leah is friendly and made the entire process stress free. From the menu selection to the order of the day, Leah helped us get everything in order. We did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all at Pinstripes. On our wedding day Leah and her team were super attentive and helped with everything. This team went above and beyond helping our guests (and us) and making sure everything was going great all day long. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. When we see guests who were at the wedding, we still hear about how wonderful the food was and how great the set-up was at Pinstripes. I will recommend them every time someone asks!

After hosting one on this site under a tent we rented, we decided this is a beautiful setting for a wedding venue.

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.

Our selections were delicious. Our guests are still talking about how good the food was. I have to comment on how nice it is to work with a coordinator that knows the vendors in the area to help you achieve your theme and have the best night you can for your guests. Additionally, the servers were excellent and really made our guests feel special. They go out of their way to help and attend to everyone!

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.

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.

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!

I hear a lot of my brides who elope wanting a beautiful space to say I do, but being limited to extreme venue prices when they only have a hand full of people. 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.

We​ had the pleasure of hosting our wedding reception at The Mez, and we could not be happier with our experience! The moment we first toured the venue, we were blown away by how beautiful and thoughtfully designed the space is, intimate elegant, and warm, everything just fits together perfectly. Every time we came back for planning meetings, it only reassured us that this was the exact atmosphere we wanted for our reception. It was the perfect fit for our celebration of about 85 guests. The entire team was truly wonderful to work with. Communication was always quick and helpful, and no question ever felt too big or too small. We were even able to customize our bar package exactly how we wanted it, and the bartenders the night of the wedding were amazing, super friendly and kept the energy high. Our guests kept complimenting how gorgeous the venue was and how convenient the parking situation is (especially with multiple events happening downtown that day!). It was such a relief knowing no one had to stress about finding a spot or walking too far. A huge shoutout to Dani, the manager at The Mez, who also did our decor and florals. She brought our vision to life in a way we can’t even describe. Everything looked incredible. She made the planning process feel easy and was always there for any and all questions. Our family and friends were blown away, and the whole night felt magical. We are so grateful to The Mez for giving us the perfect space to celebrate with the people we love. Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a stunning venue with amazing people behind it!
