The Ballroom at Park Lane is a luxury banquet hall in the Cleveland, Ohio area. This upscale venue features iconic columns and a ornate crown molding for an elegant wedding celebration. Couples will find this ballroom eight minutes near Case Western Reserve University.
This structure was originally built in 1923. It opened as a luxury hotel and speakeasy for the elite. It changed with the times and, in the 1960s, served as a concert venue that hosted the likes of Bob Dylan and Arlo Guthrie. Today, it hosts weddings and events as timeless as the building itself.

First off this venue is beyond gorgeous and romantic! We had a smaller wedding with only 55 people and even though the venue fits close to 200 people we felt so cozy and still utilized the entire space. We also absolutely loved the bridal suite it has so many features, and it was such a luxury to have access to the venue all day! We were already in love with this venue but Nicole sealed the deal! From our first tour we felt so at ease with Nicole. She was so responsive and answered any questions we had, and her advice was invaluable. We are so appreciative to her and her team.

The Ballroom at Park Lane was such an amazing venue, Iâm so glad I chose to get married here! The pictures speak for itself with how beautiful the building is. It has two great getting ready rooms, which made the morning so much easier. The area outside was beautiful for pictures, and itâs just a short walk away from the museums which are also perfect for pictures!Nicole, the coordinator, was a dream to work with. Leading up to the wedding, she was great with communication and always made time for me. She gave me great advice as I was in the planning process, but also reassured me that anything I wanted to have, she would work her best to make it happen! And then when we had issues with other vendors on the wedding day, she handled it in a very professional and respectful way, which I really appreciate. Thank you for making our special day amazing!

Nicole was EXCEPTIONAL! The venue was stunning, and we are so so glad we chose this space for our big day. It served as a truly breathtaking backdrop for our ceremony, with its picturesque prohibition era charm, and recent updates to the chandeliers and flooring. Similarly, the speakeasy was a great spot for our cocktail hour, while the ballroom transformed into a reception space reminiscent of a roaring 20s party. Everyone commented on what an amazing space this is, and how itâs truly a hidden gem. Nicole was communicative, easy to reach, and took care of all the little details than can be easy to forget. My wife and I would 1000% choose those space ans Nicole over! The pictures weâve already received from our photographers are stunning. 10/10 would recommend. - The Bilskis Reviewed on 04-10-2023

The Ballroom at Park Lane is a one of a kind venue. Our decision to have our wedding there leaves us with so many amazing memories and even better photos. 1. The staff & event manager. The staff is amazing, especially Nicole and Karina. The moment I met Nicole, she put me at ease and answered all of my questions. She never hid anything from us, especially costs to expect. She was honest about vendors and ideas that I had. She helped me every step of the way. 2. The architecture. The beauty of the venue speaks for itself with minimal decor needed. With a little lighting, the place looks amazing for anyone on a budget. 3. The added amenities. There is comfortable seating at the venue for guests to enjoy during your cocktail hour and reception. So many of our guests took great photos with the couches, chairs, balconies and spiral staircases all over the venue. 4. University Circle. The location canât be beat. There is an amazing hotel across the street that you can walk to for out of town guests. The ballroom is right next to Wade Oval with an easy walk to beautiful places for photos like the art museum and severance hall. The venue itself provides some amazing photo opportunities as well. If you want a stress free wedding with amazing people by your side, the Ballroom at Park Lane is the best. Reviewed on 29-08-2023

Park Lane was a dream venue! The speakeasy and ballroom, as well as the exterior, are so unique and beautiful! The location is also great for out of town guests, who, if they stay nearby, can experience all the great sites of University Circle! It is also great for pictures, with the art museum and cultural gardens nearby. Nicole was a great partner to work with and helped make the day go smoothly. She worked with my mother-in-law, who helped set up the venue, and was very communicative in the lead up to the big day! Nicole even had to help my 94-year old grandmother up and down the ramp (because the elevator was down that day), and my grandma was so appreciative of her help and her company!

Excellent, top to bottom! Extremely professional and accommodating. The original venue I booked for my engagement party cancelled three days before my event and I had 0 time to book a new venue and was on the verge of cancelling. I met with Nicole at the Ballroom and as soon as I walked in, the decor alone (un-decorated) was enough for me to book. Nicole was extremely accommodating for us to be booking last minute. The price was very budget friendly. We had access to the space the entire day of the event and Nicole was extremely accessible. Anything I needed, she made it happen. Her team was on time and was ready to work. I received so many compliments from my guests on the overall atmosphere and service. The booths in the dining area were a nice touch. We did a cash bar and the drinks were a reasonable price. Being able to come back the next day to pick up our decorations was very convenient. Gave me peace of mind every step of the way! Highly recommend this space! So thankful to Nicole and her staff for making my engagement party memorable âšâ Reviewed on 06-03-2023

We worked with the on site coordinator Madeline and she was a dream. She was in constant communication with us as our big day approached and she worked well with the day-of coordinator we hired. The two separate rooms was great, we got married in the speakeasy then it got flipped for cocktail hour while everyone was outside for our bubble send off. We then had dinner in the ball room and moved back to the speakeasy for dancing.The location is great for wedding portraits, too. Close to the cultural gardens, the art museum and wade lagoon.

We were so excited when we booked our wedding here and everything completely exceeded our expectations. For starters, the venue is so naturally stunning, thereâs no need for an excess of decorations. The ballroom has a stage perfect for your ceremony or sweetheart table, pillars with gorgeous details, and booths for seating that our guests were fighting over (only kind of kidding). The bar is located in the Speakeasy and good lord is it stunning! The Courtyard is perfect for photos and hanging out for guests who enjoy a quieter atmosphere. But the real gem here is the wedding coordinator, Nicole. Nicole has over 10 years of experience in the biz but was new to the venue at the time of our wedding. She took the reigns and made sure our day was as close to perfection as it gets. She handled EVERYTHING; contacting and confirming with vendors, setting up signage, keeping the timeline on track, and even refilling the film in our Polaroid cameras for our guestbook. She was calm, cool, and collected. Iâm a major worrier and a bit of a control freak, but knowing she had everything under control allowed me to relax and enjoy my special day.

Bridget Barry(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-01-2022 When my (now) husband and I decided not to have a traditional church wedding, we needed to find an indoor venue that would accommodate our large guest list without blowing our budget. We looked at SO MANY venues in the greater Cleveland area with no success, and had really started to lose hope.....but then we found The Ballroom at Park Lane. When we went to tour the space, we not only felt right at home with the beauty of the Ballroom itself, but also with Maddie (the manager of the venue). Maddie deserves a HUGE gold star for her professionalism, communication, organization, and kindness. I as the bride felt like Maddie was my long lost friend because she worked SO HARD to ensure that we had a stress-free, flawless ceremony. If we would have known that our guest list ultimately would have dropped as much as it did (initially it was too large for a reception), we absolutely would have had our entire wedding (including reception) at The Ballroom - without a doubt.

Just a couple of facts for you as you are considering The Ballroom:-They work specifically with three awesome Cleveland caterers-Most of the round tables are 6 tops. At first I struggled with this a bit with my seating chart but honestly, it all worked out and it created a more intimate dinner reception. -You can have real candles!

She helped my partner and I carry things (which never happens to us) she showed us around the facility, and was available and smiling all day long. She made sure we were aware when things were beginning, and checked in on us often throughout the day just to see if we needed anything. As a vendor, photographing over 40 weddings a year, I can without a doubt tell you that this is one of the best locations in Cleveland for wedding photos. The upper balcony in the main room provides fantastic angles that just aren't available at all facilities, and the 1920's charm is like nothing else around.

The space is so uniquely beautiful and unlike any other reception site I've experienced before. I liked how the space is divided into the speakeasy and ballroom - it made for nice transitions for the different parts of our evening. We held a cocktail hour in the speakeasy, made a grand entrance down the stairs into the ballroom for dinner, did our cake cutting at the top of the stairs, then asked guests to move back into the speakeasy/bar area for dancing to conclude the night. If the space alone doesn't convince you to have your reception here, choose this venue because of MADDIE!! She was the absolute key to ensuring our wedding reception ran smoothly and just like we envisioned! She is kind, professional, and prompt. She answered my never ending stream of emails quickly and in detail leading up to our day.

The first time I walked into The Ballroom at Park Lane, I felt like I had found my space, but, of course, since I was visiting alone on a whim during my lunch hour, I needed my future husband to sign off as well! Thankfully, when we went back to The Ballroom together, he was as smitten as I was. The Ballroom is the perfect space for the couple who is interested in Cleveland's history and wants a venue with charm, elegance, and class. We loved that not everyone in Cleveland had gotten married at the same place as we did! Not a lot of people know about this hidden gem. Be sure to check out the bridal suite and groom's suite when you visit - definitely one of the reasons we decided on The Ballroom. Our getting ready pictures were perfect and the logistics of all getting ready in one space made our day that much easier.The venue is a great value for the money and the best part is that when you book you receive the services of the venue coordinator, Maddie. Maddie went above and beyond for our day. Our guests and my family were raving about her professionalism, poise, and ability to anticipate our every need (e.g., emergency kit in the bridal suite, telephone number of the shuttle bus when no one else had it, decorum with guests who had a little too much to drink). Maddie is definitely a huge asset to The Ballroom and to a bride and groom's wedding day.Overall, I could not be more thrilled with the way that our day turned out and The Ballroom and Maddie were the absolute biggest part of that!

Dina Coggeshall(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-09-2017 Iâm very tardy in writing this well overdue review â My husband and I were married in September 2017, but it still feels like yesterday thanks in part to the folks at Park Lane! We knew when we walked in that Park Lane was where we wanted to celebrate our marriage! The unique architecture, incredible lobby (speakeasy) and multilevel ballroom was a perfect fit for our 150 person event. The convenience they provided with the bridal and groomâs suites made getting ready on location fun and convenient. I was able to prepare there, having our hair/makeup artists meet with the girls in a private suite on site, one level above the Ballroom. Their rooftop view above the suite made for some beautiful pictures later in the evening as well! Our main contact for the Ballroom was Megan and she was such an incredible help through our planning! She coordinated seamlessly with Marigold Catering to make everything look beautiful and make sense logistically. The Ballroom even allowed us to set the rooms (cocktail hour in the speakeasy and reception in the ballroom) the day before the wedding, as they had no event in there the evening prior. This was a huge relief to me, knowing much of it was done in advance. They coordinated the bar supplies and valet services for us, and even set up a cigar bar out in their beautiful courtyard (were my husband and I had our first look earlier in the day). We had so many positive reactions from friends and family, saying it was the coolest venue theyâve ever been to for a party â Park Lane is sincerely one of the most unique, warm, and beautiful places to hold an event. Itâs exactly what we didnât even know we were looking for and we very highly recommend it and their staff! Reviewed on 07-05-2019
Amber Carichner(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-09-2018 The Ballroom at Park Lane was the perfect wedding venue. I seriously can't say enough how much we LOVED every detail of our wedding. The staff was amazing, especially Maddie - she was so wonderful. She responded to my many many questions quickly and happily. During our wedding she took care of everything (including setup and clean up!). She kept the day moving smoothly, handled all of our vendors (drop offs and questions), and made sure my husband and I had everything we needed throughout the entire day. The venue itself was beautiful and was everything we were hoping for and more. We had our ceremony onsite in the ballroom and during cocktail hour (in the speakeasy bar) they switched the ballroom into the dinner space and I couldn't get over the transformation - it felt like we were in a new space... it was so beautiful. The bridal suite was perfect for getting ready and it was so nice to have everything onsite (hair, makeup, etc.) - even just having a place to keep all of our stuff during the actual event. We selected Driftwood for our caterer and the food and staff were also wonderful. We did a plated dinner and everything came out hot, delicious, and in a timely fashion. The bartenders provided by the Ballroom at Park Lane were professional and friendly. There was never any wait at the bar that I saw - they kept things moving smoothly.At the end of the day my husband and I didn't have to worry about a single thing at our wedding because everything was taken care of for us - we got to just enjoy our day. We both agree that we would not have changed one thing about our wedding venue. If you're considering having your wedding at The Ballroom at Park Lane, you won't regret it. Reviewed on 23-09-2018
Kyle Gibbons(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-06-2018 I seriously cannot say enough good things about the Ballroom at Park Lane. The service and venue were exceptional!My husband and I got married in June of 2018 and couldn't have been happier with our decision. The look of the entire venue is so classic and elegant â we barely had any decorations because it was stunning on its own. We (and our guests) loved the booths, the long table down the aisle, and adored the golden chairs! And don't get me started on the bridal suite. It's massive and had a full kitchen which made so much space for all of us gals getting ready. They even have a gaming room for the guys!One thing that was AMAZING was their little system which kept all of the little details together for us. Other vendors of ours would simply email us saying we were late with a payment (when you're not organized, dates get jumbled!). But the Ballroom has a system that let us know when a payment was coming up, how much we owed, what the balance was, and so on. Something like this seems expected, but the Ballroom was the only place to follow through with this â which we respected.Our coordinator Maddie was AMAZING, by the way. She seriously coordinated with all of out vendors, making sure they were all on the same page â which was SO helpful to my husband and I. She also set up all of our decorations! She let us drop everything off the week of and set it all up the night before. She only came to us if she had questions and she constantly made sure that my husband and I were taken care of. She was the best.If we could get married again, we'd definitely go back to the Ballroom. Reviewed on 02-07-2018

Our wedding was just over a year ago but I still get giddy every time I drive past the venue just thinking about how wonderful it was! Not only is the space gorgeous (Gatsby esque speakeasy, winding staircases, two story ballroom), the staff was incredibly helpful and made planning so easy. Our guests are still talking about the food (thanks Spice!). I recommend doing the warm amber uplighting in the ballroom--I just remember the room being so magical and warm and inviting.

Elizabeth Jackson-D'Ambrosi(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-08-2017 The Ballroom at Park Lane in Clevelandâs University Circle was a beautiful venue for our daughterâs August wedding. The 1923 venue has been restored to it's former glory, with a balcony's in both the speakeasy rotunda and the main ballroom. Great staff helped us with overall planning. An onsite kitchen and choice of several top-notch caterers was important to us. Nearby hotels made it a good choice for our many out-of-town guests. Its classic design and neutral colors will work with any brideâs color scheme. Reviewed on 23-08-2017

Amanda Cosner(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-02-2015 \rMelissa was a great help to me. She was easy to meet with even when I got delayed at work and missed our appointments. She worked wonderfully with my vendors and came in early to let the Pianist set up. Would definitely recommend negotiating price with them, it's a little steep otherwise. It is a beautiful venue, an old ballroom feel with a great entranceway, grand steps and balconies and a sitting area in the main room and up a beautiful classic spiral staircase. It holds about 120 people which was a perfect intimate ceremony for me. She also made a lot of great recommendations during rehearsals to make things run smoother and fill me and my dad (officiant) on how sheâd recommend things go.\r Reviewed on 05-03-2015

Had a wonderfully plated 3 course meal in the Ballroom and then danced the night away in the atrium (beautiful chandelier and bar area).\r\rMelissa, the event coordinator, helped us every step of the way - she is excellent!

maureen2814 (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-06-2013 The Ballroom at Park Lane was the PERFECT venue for our wedding reception. We were looking for a venue that was classic, beautiful and unique and Park Lane is all three. We immediately fell in love with the vintage/antique look of the venue. It being the venue for Marigold Catering was a HUGE plus as well because Marigold is amazing. Food was a main priority of ours - we wanted our guests to be happy and impressed (and we would consider ourselves slight foodies). Marigold did an incredible job - we can't even count how many of our guests told us it was the best food they'd EVER had at a wedding. The menu options were literally endless, as Marigold will work with you to create whatever you want. We ended up choosing 4 entree choices for our guests, a salad course and 5 passed appetizers from their extensive suggestions menu. All of the options were different and gourmet - definitely not your typical wedding food. The bar options were also endless, as they will order in anything you want if they don't already have it. We had them order in bitters and sugar cubes to make Old Fashioneds - although it's a time consuming drink to make, the bartenders made each one individually and correct every time! We also loved the fact that they had beer on draft in addition to bottles and that it was Great Lakes beer! The way they do the bar is also consumption based, which made it much more affordable! The service we received in the planning process and on the actual night was incredible. Melissa Wright is the event space coordinator and was a pleasure to work with. She made the planning process easy, fun and organized. She really went above and beyond to make our day special. She even met with my dad the day before the wedding to help him practice his speech because he was so nervous! The service that the staff provided our guests was also impeccable. This was another thing countless guests told us the night of and afterward. Everyone was very impressed. They even boxed up my husband and my leftovers and some leftover desserts for us to eat late night after the reception in case we were hungry! Park Lane will also work with you to make your event fit your budget. I know I put that the total cost of service was over $20,000, but that included the venue, all of the food, open bar, and linens. We looked at upwards of 20 venues in Cleveland before choosing Park Lane and we can confidently say that they were one of the most budget friendly. It's also in a great location in University Circle, close to downtown Cleveland, so there were several nice hotels for our out of town guests. As you can tell, we honestly have nothing negative to say about our experience. Pictures online don't do it justice, so make an appointment with Melissa - you won't be disappointed!!
