    The team at Great Lakes Brewing Company Tasting Room was incredibly responsive and very helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. Their gorgeous venue was the perfect all-inclusive space that made our special day much less stressful. I was thrilled to learn they offered a decoration package, which helped bring our vision to life. And everyone is still raving about how delicious the food was - it was truly a hit with all our guests. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience, thanks to the wonderful staff at Great Lakes Brewing Company Tasting Room.

  • Terrific Rehearsal Dinner/Welcome Drinks

    The Great Lakes Brewing Company Tasting Room was a terrific venue for our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks. The Great Lakes team was super communicative, accommodating, and helpful in answering all of our questions, and they put together a perfect plan for hosting a dinner with a smaller group and then, using the same room, transitioning to welcome drinks for all of our wedding guests. The space itself is beautiful and unique -- it was a great way to welcome our out of town guests to Cleveland! The food and drink were delicious, and it was all well priced. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and our guests had a blast. Very much recommend.

    Having our wedding at Great Lakes was an absolutely wonderful experience. The venue itself is so fun and charming, and having both the food and beverages provided by Great Lakes made the entire day-of coordination effortless. They also offer a decoration package, which I highly recommend—it’s a great way to save both time and money on décor items you’d likely only use once. We had about 100 guests, and the space felt perfect—cozy and inviting while still providing plenty of room for everyone to mingle and enjoy themselves. Our venue coordinator, Shannon, was truly amazing. From our very first meeting through the end of the wedding night, she was professional, organized, and incredibly helpful. Anytime we had a question, she responded quickly and thoroughly, putting any anxieties we had to rest. Shannon and her team brought our vision to life flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, they ensured everything ran smoothly—from serving food and drinks to keeping the space clean and the evening flowing seamlessly. And of course, the food and drinks were outstanding—but if you’ve ever been to Great Lakes, you already know that!
