Ariel Pearl Center is a historic wedding venue located in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood of Cleveland, OH. This hidden gem boasts beautiful architecture, elegant decor, and a rich history dating back to 1923. Formerly the Pearl Street Savings and Trust Bank, it features marble columns and floors, ornate bank vaults, stunning crystal chandeliers, and other unique details. It's the perfect setting for a one-of-a-kind wedding celebration. The entire first floor of Ariel Pearl Center has been transformed from a bank into an elegant event space. You can exchange vows in the Ceremony Room, complete with chandeliers, large arched windows, and intricate plasterwork on the ceiling. This room can also host your cocktail hour.

It boasts all of the same opulent features as the Ceremony Room, but on a larger scale. With its refined ambiance, it's the perfect backdrop for the sophisticated occasion of your dreams. Ariel Pearl Center allows you to choose between seven of their preferred caterers or bring in your own licensed and insured caterer for an additional fee.

I just had my wedding at Ariel Pearl Center and could not be happier! The venue is absolutely stunning and we received so many compliments. It was so convenient to have the bridal suite, and to be able to have the ceremony and reception in one place. Jessica was great to work with. We were able to bring in our own alcohol, which helped save a ton! Because the venue is all stone, it has a lot of echo. Make sure that you're working with an experienced DJ and have a strong wedding coordination team, and this won't be a problem.

Jessica was with us from the beginning. A relative had been married at Ariel Pearl center years ago and just fell in love with the venue. We knew this was where we could see our wedding. We held both our ceremony and Reception at this location. Jessica also served as a second bartender during the reception. Everything was beautiful

We had a wonderful wedding reception at the Ariel Pearl Center! This space is historic and very beautiful, so not too much additional decoration is necessary. Jessica (the venue manager) is great to work with - she answered my numerous questions via email leading up to our event, and was flexible with our set up times the day prior. A huge plus of this venue is that you can provide your own alcohol, which helped us stay within our overall budget. Thank you to everyone at this venue for helping us have a perfect wedding day! Highly recommend to any Cleveland couples.

My daughter just got married on 4/13/2024. The Ariel Pearl has the magnificence of old time character and architecture. The chandeliers, the walls, the columns, vault. But not only do they have this they have a staff that answers calls, texts, and emails immediately. They help with the set up, lighting candles, offering suggestions, giving good and knowledgeable advice and they make sure everything is just how you want it. If I had another daughter I would book the Ariel Pearl today!!

The Ariel Pearl Center was the perfect venue for our wedding. Not only is it absolutely stunning and so perfectly fit our vision - but the team was a dream to work with. I primarily worked with Jessica who was AMAZING! Jessica was quick with her responses, thorough, and truly was such a rock for me during the entire wedding planning process. She answered all of my random questions I would fire off at 10pm and eased my mind in so many ways when things started getting really chaotic with planning. She knew more about our wedding than my husband did lol - having her by my side throughout the entire process was such a blessing. I worked with Isa on the actual wedding day and she was so sweet and helpful. The Ariel Pearl speaks for itself with how gorgeous it is and I cannot recommend it enough for the overall wow factor and beautiful photos - but they truly do have an amazing team within those walls and that makes our breaks a venue in my opinion! They made everything so easy and I really can't thank them enough. Pricing wise it's fair - you do get a lot for your money. And the fact that you can bring in your own alcohol is a HUGE cost savings as well. 10/10 recommend the Ariel Pearl Center!!!
