Absolutely love the HEDGE Gallery and the staff—my wife and I recently got married in HEDGE and held our reception in the smARTspace on the floor below. We seriously couldn't have asked for a better venue.
Our guests were obsessed with the "industrial meets creative spirit" vibe of the entire space. From the HEDGE Gallery to the 60+ studios spread throughout the 78th St Studios building, there's a ton of talent to be discovered. If you're not into the traditional "church and banquet hall" wedding, you should make sure to check out this space.
The staff was incredible to work with. Hilary is one of the sweetest people and she really knows her damn stuff. She was super well organized throughout planning and day-of-coordination. Having her as a buffer between vendors, relatives, guests and more really enabled us to enjoy our day and not sweat the details. But it's not just the day-of-coordination—she's available for so much advice and local connections for the planning of the wedding itself. We can't imagine having gone through the wedding without her and her team.
You have a lot of flexibility with this space to make it your own for your wedding. A lot of the venues we checked out in Cleveland seemed a bit too restrictive on personalizations / packaged too much of the wedding in ways that seemed cookie cutter. Not so for 78th St Studios and HEDGE Gallery. You have the freedom to choose your vendors, your decor and more with few limits. That said, we highly recommend you do as much as you can through Hilary and her team. She'll give you fair prices on decor, floral arrangements, and more. Honestly we wish we would have left EVERYTHING we could have to her team as the few things we didn't send their way were the things that caused the most stress....!
All that to say, we loved our time at the HEDGE Gallery and recommend it for any upcoming weddings. We'll be sure to visit the next time...
Read moreMy husband and I recently held our micro-wedding at HEDGE Gallery and we have only POSITIVE things to say about the space and overall planning experience. Hilary and her team went above and beyond to create what we had envisioned as a true dreamlike wedding. From start to finish, the entire experience exceeded all expectations (particularly the floral designs, coordination, and budget). Thank you HEDGE team for making our special day so personal and intimate. It is one we will never forget, and you were a huge part of...
Read moreWe were there for a wedding. Perfect venue for the wedding! Nice atmosphere with the gallery of artists drawings as you enter the complex. We were on the second floor, liked the old brick walls that you were surrounded by. Don't know what it was before (an old school or factory) it was beautifully repurposed. The wedding was catered, the food (salmon and chicken) with vegetables and au-gratin potatoes was first class. The staff took very good care of us, very personal attention. Definitely an excellent place to...
