This venue is unreal. The rooftop is just so cool and unique and the views are incredible. The fourth floor reception space was beautiful as well. So many of our guests told us how much they loved the vibe of the venue. Tracey was amazing to work with - it was so clear she knew what she was doing and I never had to stress at all. The midges came out the week of our October wedding so we had to make a decision about the rooftop, but Tracey was so helpful and luckily we were able to do rooftop ceremony and serve cocktail hour food and drinks on the fourth floor. It is so cool that the rooftop stays open all night - our guests loved it! The bride and groom suites were so convenient too. It was so nice for our bridal parties to hang out there all morning and made clean up so easy and flexible.

We got compliments ALL night long about how great our venue was! Our ceremony was on the rooftop, and reception on the 4th floor. The whole day was beautiful and turned out fantastic. Tracey was amazing in helping us leading up to the big day. Any question we had, she responded right away! We were able to plan our wedding how we wanted to and were not restricted by and super specific guidelines like we found at other venues. They even recommended other vendors that we used and loved as well! I would definitely recommend Ariel International Center!

Highlighted review.

We LOVED this venue and its staff. Our day was so special thanks to Tracey and Jessica. We had the tough situation of calling indoor or outdoor for our ceremony and I trusted Trace...

y fully. While our ceremony ended up being inside, our guests were able to enjoy the rooftop during cocktail hour and throughout the reception. The views from Ariel truly are unreal. We had a good amount of out of town guests who commented on how pretty Lake Erie was but also of the Downtown view. I could not recommend Ariel International enough! We utilized both the Bridal Suite and Groomsmen Suite for getting ready. 3rd floor for ceremony and 4th floor for rooftop.

dible team at the Ariel. Pitched as only a day-of coordinator, Tracey was there with us every step of the way and helped make sure our perfect wedding became reality while also allowing us to keep our sanity. The first time we met her, Tracey told us that a million things will go “wrong” on the day of our wedding, but her job was to make sure we didn’t know about any of it, and Tracey and Melanie absolutely lived up to that statement. Everything ran smoothly day off and we got to sit back and enjoy the day without stress.
