Lake Affect Studios & Event Space: Cleveland Event Venue Guide

If you are looking for a warm, blank canvas space with an intimate feel, I HIGHLY recommend touring Lake Affect! As soon as my husband and I walked into the space we knew it was the one. So at least go look. Stefanie was an amazing venue coordinator throughout the whole process. She answered the many questions I had leading up to the day and made sure all the vendors were where they needed to be. They didn't have a bunch of hidden fees and the pricing felt reasonable compared to other venues and has the bar package included. Great value IMO. I also loved that we had basically all of Friday to set up the venue for Saturday. If you're in Cleveland and interested in the industrial vibe, make sure you check Lake Affect Studios out.

We got married at lake affect and it was the best experience! The pricing can’t be beat for all you get. From the beginning the contract was so fair and communication was clear and open. Stefanie was so helpful with answering any questions I had and made the whole process so easy. The space allowed me to set up a day before which was so nice. It was the perfect space for my 140 guests for both the ceremony and reception. The outside courtyard was so cute and the dance floor was big enough for all my guests. The space allowed for me to really decorate how I wanted it. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Such an incredible time made possible by Stefanie, Amanda and the rest of the lake affect staff.

We rented the space for a music video shoot. The staff made the rental process smooth and easy. The space was clean and exactly what we were looking for. They had more than enough electrical outlets for lights, PA, etc. Highly recommend if you are looking for a venue as an artist.

My clients Cait & Zac had their ceremony and reception at Lake Affect and it went off without a hitch. The ceremony space was ample and has a very cool industrial vibe to it. The bistro lighting in there is amazing. The reception space was perfect for dancing the night away. The staff was so helpful and readily available to help. Fantastic location for a wedding or event! photos by: Me and the Moon Photography

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 non-traditional wedding.
