Lake Affect Studios & Event Space — Attraction in Cleveland

If you are imagining a relaxed, rustic-industrial style for your wedding, Lake Affect Studios is the place for you! This venue is the most beautiful blank canvas that you could imagine. Our goal was to have both the ceremony and reception at the same venue and Lake Affect Studios had exactly that. The industrial warehouse space had more than enough room to support our ceremony including a large bridal party and 150 guests. We utilized their main space for our reception, that included a built-in bar, mood lighting, and a stage which helped to create the romantic and chill atmosphere that we were going for. The space had the ability to feel intimate without being claustrophobic. Our guests had ample room to move about, either hanging at the bar, dancing on the dance floor, or hanging in the back playing games. The private bridal suite made it easy to take a step away or have a celebratory moment with our bridal party. The venue staff did not go unnoticed and went above and beyond to help make our wedding day a success. Finally, a big shout out to Stephanie who worked with us to make sure we had a layout that would work for their venue and a timeframe that fit the night. She supported us in our bar decisions and even allowed us to take pictures on the roof. She was an excellent resource and supporter for our...

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. -...

Everyone knows this has been a tough year to plan a wedding, but Lake Affect Studios lightened that stress A TON. Throughout all my indecision and back and forth on moving the wedding or downsizing or cancelling (we ended up downsizing to about 40 people), the team at Lake Affect was so understanding and accommodating and did not pressure us one bit. HUGE thanks to Stefanie, who was a joy to work with throughout the experience. Pandemic aside, the venue is gorgeous and really fit the cool downtown Cleveland vibe I wanted. The décor options are very flexible, and we had so much time the day before our wedding to set up and get everything just right. The courtyard space is adorable and a fun bonus space for cocktail hour or just mingling about. Lake Affect supported all our crazy ideas, from a bagpiper in the courtyard to bringing in a life-size fiberglass rhino. From the staff to the space itself, Lake Affect Studios truly helped make our...
