Crowne Plaza Cleveland At Playhouse Square Reviews

Finding a venue for your wedding is a big decision and one that I did not take lightly. I went back and forth on if I wanted to book at the Crowne Plaza and ultimately decided to do it. Let me tell you... It was a GREAT decision! The food was delicious (they even set aside cocktail hour hors d'oeuvre for us and placed them at our table because they knew we wouldn't get to enjoy them), the space was exactly as I envisioned it, and the staff that works there is LOVELY. Everyone is so, so kind and accommodating. I would email Natalia several times and she would always get back to me with answers. She was always willing to listen to what I wanted and then she made that come true. She went above and beyond to make sure everything looked beautiful and how I wanted it to. Like others said, she is kind and always has a smile on her face. The staff here TRULY want to make your wedding dream and vision come to life, and they are willing to do what they need to to make it happen! Also, half of our wedding guests were out-of-town guests. Natalia updated the room block booking link for me several times and did everything she could to make sure our guests got a room. Our guests have told us multiple times how great our wedding was, and a lot of that is due to how great the staff was. I highly recommend working with them! Reviewed on 23-08-2023

We could not have been happier with choosing the Plaza for our wedding reception! I worked with both Natalia and Aubrey. They both were very kind, helpful, and patient with me and my many questions. The reception looked beautiful and went so smoothly. Our parents enjoyed being able to do the tasting with us, while we were selecting the menu. That was a fun experience to share with them and I am grateful the Plaza included them. At the tasting, a server whom I believe's name was Michelle, was very sweet and fun. She actually gave my now husband and I an idea that we ended up including on our reception night. A final private dance with just us in the ballroom. It was a special moment I am grateful to have! Michelle also served during our wedding reception and so many of our guests took note of her name and passed on how much they enjoyed her. Great staff, great service, great accommodations, and gorgeous venue. Thank you Natalia, Aubrey, Michelle, and staff for an amazing evening! Reviewed on 06-01-2024

The Crowne Plaza is an absolutely beautiful venue and everything that came with it was amazing. We worked with Aubrey to start and then Natalia and they were both wonderful. They helped along the way to make sure everything was what we wanted and got done on time. Everything was amazing - food, drinks, staff, room setup, and accommodations. Reviewed on 22-07-2023
Jus Anderson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-06-2023 My husband and I decided to have our wedding at Crowne Plaza Cleveland on 06/24/23 and it was the best decision! Most of our guests were traveling in so it was very convenient to have the room block for everyone to use. All of the food provided was delicious and the bar service was great. The workers were all so kind and helpful. They even saved us when our party bus for pictures canceled on us the day before the wedding! We were panicking and went to the hotel manager who was able to find us a bus by the end of our rehearsal dinner. We worked with Aubrey and she was the absolute best with taking care of everything! She made it so we did not have to worry about any of the organization, decorating and everything else in between. The room itself was very beautiful and right outside there are a lot of great picture taking spots! Definitely would recommend having your wedding here! Reviewed on 27-06-2023

Carol Brown(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-10-2022 We loved the Crowne Plaza at Playhouse Square so much that we had two weddings there! I thought the pandemic would ruin our wedding, but the Crowne Plaza was so accommodating and kind that we had two super great events. Our ceremony was beautiful and perfect. Our reception was so nice and went without a hitch. I highly recommend the Crowne Plaza for your event! I really appreciate Daneel's responsiveness, professionalism, and kindness. She and the rest of the team really made our day special. I also think the Crowne Plaza is a great value for such a beautiful venue, great customer service, and great location. Reviewed on 14-01-2023
Allison Baird(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-11-2022 To start off by saying if you’re thinking about the Crowne Plaza for your special day DO IT! It truly was the best day of our lives and we are so happy we decided to celebrate at the Crowne Plaza!! From the start to the end of the wedding process they were spectacular! Natalia is a superwoman! Her communication is quick and very detailed, always willing to chat on the phone or meet in person to verify anything me or my family had questions about, and blew my wedding vision out of the park! She is so kind and always has a smile on her face and willing to help in anyway she can! The staff at crowne plaza is so joyful, fun, and made the night soooo fun!! They even were dancing with us on the dance floor and made us all feel so comfortable ! The food was insanely good and every one talked about it for weeks! Honestly, guests and family have been raving about how amazing and fun our wedding was and I owe that to the Crowne Plaza staff! You were all so generous and kind! Cody and I are so happy we chose the crowne plaza, you all will hold a special place in our hearts! The best day ever !!! Reviewed on 14-12-2022
Andrew Wegierski(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-11-2022 Everything turned out great on our wedding day! Our coordinator Natalia, along with concierge Mr. Alex made us feel welcome, relaxed and prepared. When we arrived, Mr. Alex took all of our belongings to our room and we didn't have to touch a thing! Natalia assisted a lot with the set up and made that part of our weekend stress free. She was available for last minute questions over text and phone call in the hours leading up to the event. At our Wedding, everything went as planned. The ceremony space was set up correctly and everyone knew what to do thanks to Natalia's help at rehearsal the day before. The bartenders were very efficient and friendly. The food was AMAZING (we picked delmonico angus beef, chicken romano, and butternut squash ravioli), as were the servers and the manager Joe. Chef stopped by to make sure the food was good too! It felt like they actually cared about making our day special and by the end of the night, some of the servers were on the dance floor with us. The next day, clean up was pretty quick and departing was nice and easy!The only downside I can think of is that it took a few rounds of back and forth to get all of our numbers correct on our BEO and some lack of attentiveness within email communication in general (throughout the whole process). But all was resolved when we met in person more. I was really impressed at how Natalia and the rest of the staff were able to ease our anxiety by being super helpful in the couple days leading up to the wedding. Reviewed on 09-11-2022
Annie Murphy(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-10-2022 The Crowne Plaza was truly the perfect venue for us! We loved that everything was included in the cost per person…alcohol, food, linens, cake, bar service, table decor! It was very convenient to not have to hire outside vendors, and everything was perfect! The chef is amazing, all of our guests raved about how good the food was. The event staff were so kind and helpful the night of our wedding, and our wedding coordinator Aubrey was fantastic to work with! She made everything go smoothly, and even helped me switch my napkin color the day before my wedding! This venue is especially ideal because it’s located in the heart of downtown and is convenient for guests to stay the night…no shuttle or Ubers needed! We had the majority of our guests coming from out of town, so the fact that this is a hotel made travel plans easy for our guests. I can’t recommend this venue enough! Reviewed on 09-11-2022
Christina Collart(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2022 I cannot say enough about the Crowne Plaza at Playhouse square. Daneel, Natalia and their entire event team, and hotel staff were amazing. Everything for our ceremony and reception was absolutely perfect and went off without a hitch. All of our details were executed as we wanted them to be and they looked great.We received so many compliments on our appetizers and dinner, everything was served timely and hot. The chief could not have done a better job. The hotel and event staff went above and beyond for us to make sure everything was taken care of. They even took the time to make us a plate of our cocktail hour apps and our late night bite to enjoy.Although there was some hickups, missing our photo on the marque, some maintenance problems in the rooms, I would recommend using the Crowne plaza for any formal or leisure event.

Meghan Fortuna(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-09-2022 Reflecting back on when we toured the crowne plaza Cleveland at playhouse square with Daneel, we could not stop thinking about how their hospitality seemed unmatched compared to any other venue. Daneel was great at communicating with us, as well as Natalia who ultimately helped us leading up to our wedding day. I cannot say enough great things about Natalia and how much we appreciated her help. Natalia helped in making sure the days leading up to the wedding and that the day of went smoothly! The staff at the crowne plaza went above and beyond for us- from chef Bernie’s amazing cooking to our lovely bartenders, waitstaff, and front desk employees, they all made our day one to remember. We honestly feel so blessed to have them as a part of the best day of our lives. Reviewed on 20-09-2022
Allison Lansell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2022 The Crowne Plaza staff, events team, Daneel, Nic, and Natalia made our wedding day better than we ever dreamed. It's hard to know where to start because there was so much attention to detail and everyone was genuinely eager to give us the best day possible.The event staff listened with open ears about my biggest desires for my wedding day and accommodated our specific requests. My husband doesn't drink alcohol so they provided non-alcoholic beer at our wedding and we returned to our room to a bottle of sparkling juice. I hate salad dressing, so they made sure all tables had gravy boats for salad dressing (I realize this is a silly small thing, but it was important to me and they listened). They set up all of our decorations beautifully (including Natalia taking on more than she bargained for on a few specific items that looked just perfect for our whole day). Everyone at the hotel greeted us excitedly all day. The front desk was incredibly helpful and communicative as my hair/makeup and breakfast showed up VERY EARLY on wedding morning. They cheered me when I walked out of the elevator for the first time. Multiple staff members asked me regularly throughout the weekend what I needed and did literally everything I asked. It made my experience completely stress free.The food was absolutely incredible and Chef made sure I had enough to eat when he saw I hadn't had much time to sit down. They even accommodated a last-minute request for my husband and I to eat in a separate room to help decrease covid exposure.I never plan on having another wedding, but if I do, it'll be at Crowne Plaza. We felt so welcomed and appreciated and it was great to never have to go looking for staff for help with anything because they were so on top of it.We can't thank you enough for giving us our dream wedding!

Major props to the chef. We recommend the chicken with boursin sauce and potatoes dauphine :) The main downfall of this venue is the general manager. The word “no” seemed very prominent in his vocabulary. He made it clear that this was just another event and it wasn’t “that big of a deal.” Luckily, the rest of the staff showed wonderful hospitality, especially the servers. Finally, be cautious of the contract. It definitely has room for interpretation. Overall, our wedding was beautiful and we’re happy we chose the Crowne! Reviewed on 03-07-2022

Extremely spacious with a bar, two bathrooms and plenty of seating. This is PERFECT for getting ready the morning of...which is exactly what I did! We comfortably fit 13 women in the suite where we all got ready, ate breakfast and lunch! The day went smoothly and our ceremony and reception went so well. Our wedding coordinators, Daneel and Aubrey went above and beyond to make sure the process leading up to the wedding and the day of went perfectly. They definitely exceeded all of our expectations. Aubrey and Daneel answered our thousands of questions,over many months, clearly and promptly. They truly want the day to be everything that you have been dreaming of. The day would not have been as amazing as it was without their expertise and their guidance. They were always so kind and understanding throughout the process and we will be forever grateful to have had them by our side throughout it all! The staff was also so kind and professional throughout our wedding weekend. They really made my husband and I feel so special...from the reception desk to the bartenders and wait staff!

The 10 days leading up to it were more than less than ideal because of the Covid surge and a lot of last-minute cancellations and people backing out, but I cannot thank Daneel and the entire staff for being so accommodating and making it happen for us and our parents. I don’t wish anyone to be a Covid bride, but this this was everything I could’ve imagined and more for our wedding. Shauna was the sweetest telling me she was going to call me yelling at me if I canceled or postponed, Daneel dealing with probably my 500 emails constantly, from the chef giving my husband a jar of ranch to take home, to the bartenders getting down.

Andrew Sand(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-07-2021 My daughter was set to get married in April, 2020, and Covid-19 changed everything. Wedding cancelled. :-( What to do? We were given a full reimbursement by Crowne Plaza to start - which was a relief. But we continued to work with Daneel and her team at the Crowne Plaza to find a new date. Daneel and everyone at the Crowne Plaza were amazing. They worked with us through Covid to plan a new date and we finally had the wedding in July, 2021. The ballroom was fully renovated during Covid and it looked absolutely beautiful (spend a little extra for the \"up lighting\") for both the ceremony and reception. The cocktail hour was just outside the door so everyone had a cocktail immediately after the ceremony. The food was fantastic, T-Bones and Salmon, and both received great feedback - not common for a wedding. Plus, the location can't be beat if you're looking for a place where you can do everything in one place. We had a lot of out of town guests and they were able to check in and not drive anywhere the entire weekend. All in all we turned a terrible situation into a fantastic day and evening - just a year later. So, highly recommended. Call Daneel. She dis a great job. Reviewed on 24-07-2021

From day one, Daneel, Gayle and the staff at the Crowne Plaza Cleveland at Playhouse Square have been nothing but courteous, professional and so helpful. Daneel was always quick to respond to our seemingly never-ending list of questions. On our wedding day, Daneel was very present and checked in us to make sure that we had everything that we needed.The setup of the reception was beautiful - we are still waiting on our professional pictures, but Daneel and her staff took my unorganized list of ideas and signs and organized them so that everything was PERFECT for our reception. Our food was AMAZING (special shout out to chef!!) and all of our guests were raving about ALL of the options (salmon, steak and vegan ravioli). Daneel had champagne and orange juice brought up to the bridal suite while the girls were getting ready (which is MASSIVE and boasts gorgeous views of downtown) as well as a bottle of champagne, chocolate covered strawberries and a gift waiting for us once the night was ending. It is very clear that Daneel takes pride in her profession and I am so glad that her and the entire staff at the Crowne Plaza were able to play such a pivotal role in ensuring that our reception was flawless!

Jessica Shaffer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-12-2019 If you are looking for an all-in-one, stress-free wedding and/or reception experience, Crowne Plaza is the best choice in downtown Cleveland. Daneel and the dedicated staff at the Crowne Plaza have EVERYTHING covered in a beautiful, renovated venue with a great location.My husband and I are both from the Cleveland area but live in Salt Lake City, Utah. We decided to get married in Ohio because that is where most of our family and many of our friends still live. Our parents visited many venues in and around the city for us when we first got engaged in 2018, but none were the total package for what we were looking for in planning a wedding from across the country. When we visited for Christmas that year, my husband found the Crowne Plaza online, which was a venue neither of our parents had seen before. We were able to visit the next day and immediately knew that it was the place for us. Daneel, the wedding coordinator, was experienced, knowledgeable and very patient. The ballroom was gorgeous and had a beautiful view of Playhouse Square. The bridal suite was outstanding. It included a large living/dining area with its own bathroom attached to a private master suite with its own bathroom including a large vanity, jacuzzi tub, and shower. On our wedding day, we had more than enough room for both the groomsmen and the bridesmaids to all get ready together but still separated, with the guys in the bedroom and the girls in the living and dining area. My maid of honor had an adjoining room to our suite which was more than convenient and was a perfect place to keep my dress hidden from my fiance.Along with the outstanding accommodations, Daneel was wonderful to work with and took care of almost all of the wedding details! We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception at the hotel and the only thing we had to book ourselves was our photographer, entertainment and officiant. Daneel had great recommendations for these vendors and experience working with many of them, too. After booking the Crowne Plaza, there were no \"bridezilla\" moments or arguments about silly details in any of our planning. This was in large part because Daneel had everything we needed to do organized, taken care of, and planned out in a timeline. I was only back in Ohio for a weekend after booking the Crowne Plaza and it was for my bridal shower. That is when we had our food tasting with the AMAZING chef at the Crowne Plaza and cake tasting at Wild Flour Bakery, (which is included in the Crowne Plaza Wedding Package).When our wedding weekend finally came in December 2019, we had no stress or worries and everything went perfectly. Our party of 130 friends and family had a wonderful time and couldn't say enough good things about their stay and how much they enjoyed our special day. Reviewed on 16-01-2020
Nicole Moser(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-10-2019 We had our wedding reception at the Crowne Plaza at Playhouse Square in 10/2019. The ballroom was spacious and clean, and the hotel rooms were newly renovated. I especially loved that the ballroom has all the windows overlooking the Playhouse Square sign and the chandelier- it was a beautiful view especially at night. It was so convenient for our out of town guests and local guests who chose to stay the night. We were able to have the (huge) Presidential suite the night before the wedding and it was the perfect place for the bridesmaids to get ready in the morning. Aside from the large bedroom and bathroom, there is a separate area with couches and a bar for relaxing and an area for the bride and bridesmaids to get hair and makeup done. And the view was amazing! The ballroom looked absolutely beautiful once it was all set up. Daneel, the Catering Sales Manager, was one of the big reasons we choose to have our wedding at the Crowne Plaza. Right from our initial contact and tour of the venue, she was friendly, helpful, and easy to work with, and I thought she would be the perfect person to work with and make our wedding day so special. And I was right! I was a bit of a procrastinator with all the details and Daneel was especially great with working with me in the few weeks/days leading up to the wedding. Also, the food was really good! We were told by so many people after the wedding how beautiful and elegant the ballroom looked and how great the food was (we especially got lots of compliments with the steak). Also included was a cake from Wild Flour Bakery. They were also very helpful and easy to work with, and the cake was delicious! Overall, I couldn't be happier with how our day turned out. We definitely made the right choice with the Crowne Plaza at Playhouse Square. Reviewed on 04-01-2020

The day before and the day of the wedding were simply amazing, we were able to enjoy the day without any worries. We had steak and salmon as entrees.....delicious!!!

Katie L(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-10-2019 I’ll be honest when I was starting to plan my wedding and look at venues I did not want a ballroom wedding. That was until I saw the Crowne Plaza and met Daneel, their wedding specialist. Unlike most hotel ballrooms this feels very intimate while still giving you a ton of space to work with and having everything and everyone in one place makes it all so easy. Not to mention if you have a morning after brunch the part of the ballroom overlooking the chandelier is a great place to get together and recap the night and catch up with anyone you may have missed. If you’re staying at the hotel the Presidential suite is the perfect place to get your hair and make up done with the girls and it’s an easy ride up the elevators when the day is done. Working with Daneel was so easy, from payment reminders, seating charts, the tasting and everything in between she was on top of it and if for some reason she didn’t know the answer to a question she was always quick to find the answer and get back to me. Speaking of tasting the food for the reception was delicious, we had the steak, chicken and roasted red pepper ravioli. Also the cake and working with Wild Flour Bakery was seamless. Our wedding weekend was just so perfect honestly I’m not sure I would have changed anything about it. Thanks Daneel and team!! Reviewed on 17-10-2019

We continue to get compliments from guests as to how elegant and beautiful the event was. From looking out the ballroom at the Playhouse chandelier to the beautiful rooms and the delicious food, everything was exquisite!Hats off to Daneel, Gayle, and chef Rupp for being at each place from rehearsal to pre-wedding, to cocktail hour, and finally to dinner and dancing. Everyone involved was attentive, helpful, and courteous.The most compliments were to the food and the setup of the ballroom. The dance floor was set in the perfect spot in order to enjoy Playhouse Square. We had a sit-down dinner; and the service at each table was wonderful. Our daughter and her husband had a wonderful time as did everyone with dancing in the ballroom and the bars out in the foyer. We did not want the party to end. The follow-up after the wedding was handled just as professionally. We cannot say enough about how Daneel handled every request. She is great! Gayle made sure we were dealt with professionally with attention to detail. We could not believe chef Rupp came up and cut the Tomahawk steaks for the small beef sandwiches during the cocktail hour.

Sarah Schebek(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-09-2018 We honestly can't say enough amazing things about the Crowne Plaza Cleveland at Playhouse Square! First and foremost, the wedding coordinator, Daneel, was one of the sweetest and most organized people we have ever met. She was super patient and responsive with the million e-mails we would send and questions we had and she was also very helpful with making recommendations for us when it came to other vendors, photo locations, food choices, decor, etc. She stayed in contact with all of our other vendors and regularly checked-in with us to make sure we felt comfortable and confident with how everything was going. In addition, the weekend of our wedding went so smooth and we couldn't have asked for a better ceremony and reception. All the of the Crowne Plaza staff from the front desk to the servers, bartenders and the entire catering team were amazing!One of the best things about this venue is it's ability to be a one-stop shop for everything - we were able to have our ceremony on location, they provided all of the linens, chair covers, and even the center pieces which were beautiful. Convenience was a huge deciding factor for us as we had a lot of out of town guests coming (us ourselves actually live in Columbus) and we didn't have to worry about coordinating all of the details which makes it MUCH less stressful! The guests also appreciated that the ceremony, reception and place to stay were all in the same place!Additionally, the food (we chose steak and salmon) was fabulous. Not only was it elegantly served but it tasted delicious and our guests were raving about it. The Crowne Plaza also partners with Wild Flour Bakery for the cake which is another amazing (and delicious) vendor.Perhaps our favorite perk was the room that we stayed in on Friday and Saturday at the hotel. It was huge and it was the perfect place for the entire bridal party to get ready day-of. Since it shut off into two separate sections, the girls got ready on one side and the guys on the other. There was plenty of room for our onsite make-up artist and hair stylist and we comfortably had ~10 people in there with the photographer as well!Again, if I could rate this venue more stars I would! A beautiful venue and incredible staff - couldn't ask for anything better! Reviewed on 15-09-2018

We were fortunate to work with Daneel, through our planning process. From the minute we started working with her she was flexible, kind, professional, and truly cared to make our day wonderful. While we were extremely satisfied with the hotel itself, there are few stand out items to highlight to future couples. -The hotel is wonderfully renovated and clean-The staff were courteous and helpful, we were recognized as the bride and groom and made feel extra special by all. As were our families.-We hosted a good size room block at the hotel, our welcome bags were handed out upon check-in and I believe all guests received them. We (as a large group) spent a good amount of time in the lounge and were well received by the servers and bartenders. We had one guest who a had small rooms issue but it was handled immediately and beyond out expectations.-The food at the wedding was outstanding, it was better than at our tasting and we heard rave reviews from our guests. We offered the airline chicken breast and sirloin. Seriously, so good. -Service the night of our wedding was quick and Daneel and the Food and Beverage team made sure we stayed exactly on schedule. We were fortunate to have Carol serve our head table, I've never received more attentive service. -Everything on-site was so well coordinated starting on the Wednesday before our wedding, we made our final payments and dropped off our misc. items for Daneel to set-up (place cards, guest book, etc.)and had all of our items returned to us on Sunday morning. We booked and finalized details with our vendors and Daneel coordinated all on-site details with them. Everyone seemed to work well together and we really had an all-star vendor team!

The old coordinator left around November and they did not hire Daneel till around February. As my wedding date was quickly approaching I was nervous, anxious and hopeful that they would find someone that lived up to what I thought my wedding planner could be. But honestly after our first meeting with Daneel she blew my expectations out of the water. She not only is organized and polite, but calm and somehow brings an ease over the entire process that is both stressful and exhausting. When I say she was a pleasure to work with I think it is an understatement. She was an email or call away with anything my mom, husband or I needed. The hotel had some difficulty with our room block and within hours Daneel would fix the problem and email right back. I honestly cant say enough about how amazing it was to work with her.She pulled our decorations together perfectly and made sure my stuff was safe and returned to me.

One of the reasons we chose the Crowne Plaza was because the wedding package was inclusive of SO MUCH - we were able to custom design our package based on the offerings in the established packages (we'd like this, we don't need this, etc) to get just what we wanted at a price point that worked for us.We booked the venue back in spring of 2017, but only began working with Daneel in January of 2018, when she started with the hotel. I was a little nervous about working with someone different than we had started with, but that was unnecessary anxiety. Daneel met all of our expectations, filled all of our requests, and answered all of our questions. Some days I emailed her no less than three times, and each time she would respond promptly and patiently! During the week leading up to the wedding, we stayed in close contact and sat down face to face two days before the wedding to review the event order and details one last time. Daneel was available by text for a couple of after hours and day of questions, which I really appreciated.

Months before we had our wedding tasted offered by the Wyndham where we got to invite our family. The food was great. Beth (wedding coordintaor) was able to show us wedding receptions before we had ours so we got a better idea of how things would look. Beth was a great help and was always there to answer our questions. The day of our wedding, things could not have looked better or went smoother thanks to Beth and the Wyndham. It was so pretty inside and my only recommendation to others would be to get uplighting for the columns that overlook the chandiler and also maybe have one for the head table to shine on the wall behind the bride and groom. I thought this made pictures and video look nicer. This is something the DJ service you choose could provide. All of the little details the Wyndham put together for us we will never forget, from the signiture drink, to the champange with the strawberry garnish. Everything was perfect. The Wyndham also provided complimentary chair covers, table covers, bridal suite, and paretns suite for both bride and groom, complimentary shuttle service if the location where you get married is close downtown, which I think goes a long way, also a cake from Wild Flour where you go design it, not all places provide all of that.

We have gotten so many compliments on the reception and the venue in general that we cannot recommend the Wyndham highly enough--the food was delicious and we continue to get compliments on it. Thank you to Beth and the wonderful team at the Wyndham who made our whirlwind weekend not only classy and lovely, but a blast and a breeze. Reviewed on 23-11-2015
Rita Basic(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-11-2015 We had our wedding at another venue, but stayed at the Wyndham with our guests before and after the wedding.\r\rThe staff allowed us to Host a \"meet and greet with the bride and groom\" after the rehearsal for our out of town guests. It was wonderful! \r\rWe additionally hosted a \"hangover brunch\" the next day, that was also excellent!\r\rThe 2 negative things about the stay:\r1. Our room was not ready at 3:10 when we arrived, we were told it would be ready at 3pm. When it was not ready, we were place in another room, that ANOTHER GUEST had already checked in to. Thankfully when my husband alerted the front desk to the issue, it was resolved in 10 minutes. we were very satisfied with our suite\r2. when we called for our car on Friday night (rehearsal and dinner to get to), we were told to call 15 minutes in advance. We called 20 minutes in advance. We waiting for 35 minutes for our car, which made us 20 minutes late to our own rehearsal and dinner. My aunt and uncle also waiting nearly 40 minutes for their car\r\rbesides the 2 mishaps, all went well. Oh and 3 days later i'm still waiting to hear back from them about a $400 charge on my credit card. Reviewed on 10-11-2015

When we first toured the Wyndham with Beth Blankenship, we were confident that Beth and her staff would be attentive to every detail and we were right! They were extremely helpful throughout the entire process.\r\rAll of the reception spaces looked beautiful. Thank you for taking time to place all the \"froufrou\" so artfully, creating such an elegant entryway for our guests. Thanks, too, to the staff who carefully assembled all of the decorations at the end of the evening and then helped to load them into our cars the next day. Ditto to the wonderfully warm staff who greeted us curbside on Thursday to welcome us and help unload our cars.

Alison Wiswell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-09-2015 I cannot even begin to express how happy we were with the Wyndham! It far exceeded our expectations. Our coordinator, Beth Blankenship, was wonderful and was there for us every step of the way. She was always quick to respond and was very honest! I felt comfortable asking her questions that didn't even directly pertain to the Wyndham, because I knew she would be upfront. There were so many perks that were included (shuttle, Wild Flour cake, centerpieces, room for bride/groom, rooms for the parents etc.) that it took a lot of the stress out of planning. Beth did a wonderful job taking my vision and creating the most beautiful reception! Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was and have much fun they had! Our reception was perfect and it truly was the best night of our lives. Thank you so much to everyone at the Wyndham for all their help, especially Beth! Reviewed on 21-10-2015

Beth at the Wyndham was great to work with. She was quick to respond to the wedding couple who are from out of town. That is the main reason they chose the Wyndham. She were very easy to work with and very helpful with the small requests the couple had. Reviewed on 21-10-2015
Areta Zachary(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-10-2008 Don't know where to begin to thank everyone at the Wyndham at Playhouse Square for an incredible wedding for my daughter which lasted for three days. My primary contact was always Beth Blankenship. I realized what a wonderful feeling it was to have someone say \"we can do that\" to everything I requested. More importantly for them to take my vision and make it a reality. From the chef who catered to special diet requests to Beth who helped create my vision in decorating a glamorous environment in the ballroom, creating room blocks and everything in between. The Staff were very courteous and helpful. People have been so complimentary about all aspects of the wedding including the valet efficiency. Beth was always available and replied very quickly to any calls or emails. She made last minute changes quickly and easily. We had two other events there that weekend - cocktails on the terrace friday and a sumptuous breakfast on sunday in the ballroom. It all went off without a hitch. My most sincere thanks to all who made it possible - especially you Beth!!!!! Reviewed on 02-10-2015

My daughter's wedding reception was held at Wyndham Cleveland this past weekend. There aren't enough good things that I can say about Beth Blankenship, the event coordinator. She responded almost immediately to every email and showed great attention to detail. We received many compliments on the food and the way things were handled at the Wyndham. Many of our guests told us they never had such a great meal at a wedding! Part of the wedding package included complimentary suites for the bride and groom, and one for each set of parents. The suite for the newlyweds was so large that after the reception we partied in their room until around 2:30 a.m. It was so nice to wind down in a small gathering and spend some personal time with the bride and groom. We hosted a breakfast the next morning for our guests who stayed overnight. We were impressed with the way the buffet was presented and how courteous and efficient the staff was. I would not hesitate to recommend the Wyndham to anyone for a future wedding. Reviewed on 16-09-2015

This hotel did a wonderful job with our daughter's wedding reception. Guests raved about the great food. Beth Blankenship was amazing. No need for a wedding planner, she does it all so well. Playhouse Square is a good location for in-town and out-of-town guests. They enjoyed downtown Cleveland and especially East 4th, Heinen's, and the Horseshoe Casino which were all walking distance.

Breanna Godfrey(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-08-2015 We had both our ceremony and reception at the Wyndham at Playhouse Square, and could not have been happier. The bay windows on the second floor provided a beautiful scene for the perfect ceremony. We used the third floor outdoor terrace for cocktail hour where you could take photographs with the chandelier in the background which guests absolutely loved! The reception in the ball room was set up beautiful and exactly as we'd imagined. The service was fast and efficient and the food was delicious. Beth helped us every step of the way with all of our planning needs. She was very good at responding and communicating through emails and made sure our wedding day went by seamlessly.

On the day of the wedding, she personally introduced us to the key players for the evening - waitresses, bartenders, other hotel employees.\rWhen we arrived at our venue for the rehearsal dinner, we were asked where the wedding would take place.

Anonymous (parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-09-2016 On July 11, 2015, we had a wonderful wedding celebration at The Wyndham Cleveland At Playhouse Square. Working with Beth Blackenship from start to finish made the planning so easy. Beth promptly answered emails and phone calls, listening to us and assisting us through every last detail. The event space was beautiful and comfortably seated our 260 guests. The tables were set meticulously right down to the blackberry, rather than a strawberry, in each champagne glass since the wedding was black and white. Beth was there making sure every detail was attended to and candles were all lit before the doors were open. The food was delicious! The choices were all outstanding, but we went with a duet plate which worked out well for serving a large group. Table service was efficient but not intrusive. Also, The Wyndham worked well with outside vendors. (We had chairs delivered to the Wyndham and they took care of it from there.)I feel that, together, we planned the \"perfect\" wedding. Our guests raved about the inviting room, delicious food, great bar service and all around spectacular evening. Wonderful memories!! Reviewed on 17-07-2015

Irene Makovey(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-04-2015 We chose to get married at the Wyndham after looking at over 20 other places - there is only one reception hall (thus only one wedding per night and we would not have to share with another party), great location, great package options, and of course a wonderful and kind wedding planner - Beth. I am not sure how I could have made it through the wedding planning process without her guidance and expertise. Beth was available to answer questions and give advice all through the process (an very very promptly), she was flexible and accommodating with absolutely everything we needed - flowers, cake, decorations. FYI - the cake was included in our Wyndham package and it was just delicious!!! Most importantly on the day of the event Beth and the Wyndham staff were extremely organized and the event went smoothly. The Wyndham staff - servers, bartenders, and valet parking staff were very polite, pleasant, and accommodating. The food was great and the drinks were good. After the event - the hotel staff was kind to pack up all our little things we brought (pictures/signs/center piece accents etc) and it was just ready for us to pick up - so convenient! We also did do a breakfast buffer for our guests the next morning - this was nicely set up, room well decorated, and good food!

Dan Kono(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-09-2014 We were originally planning our wedding for the summer of 2015 in Las Vegas. Due to a family medical issue, we decided to move our wedding up 9 months to ensure all family members could attend. We went from 15 months to plan a wedding, to just 3 months! We were extremely stressed out & guessing that we’d have a hard time finding a nice venue that actually had an open Saturday in the next 100 days. We called & visited a few venues in the area & we were pleasantly surprised to find that the Wyndham at Playhouse Square still had a Saturday in September available. \r\rAfter viewing the venue & meeting with the Catering Manager (Beth Blakenship) we decided to book the Wyndham. Some of the main reasons we initially went with the Wyndham were: the downtown location, the value, our confidence in Beth & some of the perks they offered. From the first day we went to check out the venue to the “Thank You” letter we received 2 days after our wedding, Beth has been a godsend! Beth is extremely professional & personable. Due to the family medical issue mentioned earlier, we had about 100 changes to our reception plans over the last 2 months & it was no problem for Beth. Every email sent was replied to the same day…even when we’d send 10 emails in 1 day. The staff at the Wyndham can handle anything you want or need to make your wedding day special: table cloths, chair covers, centerpieces, decorations you bring in & want them to set up, last minute headcount changes, special menu for those with dietary restrictions, special placement of vendors and/or vendor supplies (DJ, photobooth, etc). You can even have your Ceremony & Reception there. One of the nice perks offered to us was free use of the Wyndham shuttle bus. It’s an added bonus for a wedding party to use for pictures around downtown Cleveland, right after the ceremony ends. \r\rThe Wedding Day – We had our ceremony at a church in the suburbs & were out for pictures during our cocktail hour. When we got to the Wyndham we were so impressed. The staff was taking care of all of our guests: 2 bars, both with 2 bartenders & no line was more than 3 people long. There was also multiple staff members passing out hors d'oeuvres & everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Also, all the decorations we brought the day before were all on display EXACTLY how we asked Beth to do. Once they opened the doors to the ballroom, we were amazed! The place looked great & everything was setup how we wanted it & all guest tables had the appropriate number of seats. We received multiple compliments from our guests on how great the food was & how great the portion size was (10 oz NY Strip Steak)! The food was great & came out on time, the bars were well staffed & the venue was beautiful & clean. The added bonus that topped off our night was that my new wife & I snuck out with our photographers & got some amazing shots below the new Playhouse Square chandelier! After the reception ended, my wife & I went up to our FREE suite for the evening. The Wyndham is such a great value that they give the Bride & Groom, the groom’s parents & the bride’s parents free rooms the evening of the wedding. It’s great to know that the Wyndham understands your spending a lot of money to put on a great party & it’s a nice added perk to have 3 free rooms. \r\rIf you want a great venue & a great evening that you & your guests will remember forever, be sure to check out the Wyndham at Playhouse Square for your wedding!

From our first meeting, Christina (the wedding specialist) reassured us, answered our myriad of questions and took exceptional care of every last request and detail. She was a calming presence for me during this whole process! The planning with Christina was easy and painless...the food was delicious (our guests are still raving), the service friendly and professional (we received a lot of feedback about how great the servers were), and the venue classy and comfortable. The banquet room is a unique space for a wedding hotel and can accommodate small, medium or large weddings. The hotel staff also was friendly and helpful - the front desk staff took such great care of our guests. It was so nice to have everything in one place, especially for a winter wedding in Cleveland - we got ready, had the ceremony and reception all at the hotel.
