boho industrial dreams!

Hannah, thank you for putting up with my endless emails and making it work when we downsized, the space looked beautiful and didn’t feel too big for the number of people in attendance. being able to bring in your own vendors, booze, and style into a venue is a huge plus not to mention getting the space from Wednesday to Monday really allows you to take your time when setting up and not feel rushed to set up the day of.

Lake Erie Building Events

Our wedding is in July of 2019. Everything about this venue is beautiful from the windows to the restrooms to the beautiful lights strung throughout. My fiancé and I are so excited for a venue that is unique and very welcoming. We have a few guests who are not able to use the stairs and the venue has graciously given us permission to use the service elevators to bring our grandparents up and offered wheelchairs. They have been on top of the booking process and even working with our personal vision for the big Day! They offer tables and chairs and linens and different options for all 3! If you want a venue that will work with you to make your day special but always get a canvas to work with and make it your own I 100% recommend this venue!

Beautiful, Blank Canvas Wedding Venue

The Lake Erie Building was perfect for our event. We hosted 200 guests, split the space into an area for the Ceremony and an area for the Reception, took full advantage of re-using and re-purposing the furniture/accessory items that the Venue had to offer, took full advantage of the Bridal Suite, and absolutely loved the flexibility of having the space for a few days prior to the wedding, as well as post wedding. It made creating our special day that much easier. The staff was fantastic to work with as well - incredibly helpful with the setup, day off, and tear down. Highly recommended, book fast!
