Cleveland Museum of Art

ervice experience is top notch. Everything on the wedding day went so smoothly, and the food was phenomenal - so many of our guests complimented the meal. Of course the venue itself is beyond stunning as is, but it truly sparkled with the Christmas decorations set up in the atrium. CMA is one of the best parts of Cleveland, and we are so grateful we could host our wedding there.

f 250+ guests, but due to Covid we ended up with a much smaller guest list. Throughout our entire wedding planning process during Covid, the CMA was very accommodating and flexible. We initially worked with Elizabeth, the Director of Catering sales, and transitioned to Rachel. Both women were very helpful. If there is one thing I would change, I’d love for more flexibility in catering, especially for more authentic, multi-cultural options.

mething I worried about with such a big venue. Additionally Elizabeth is SUPERB!! We had an emergency wedding venue change due to an issue with our former venue and with only about a month or so notice she was able to work with our vendors and pull off such an amazing event. She was so easy to work with, responsible and exceptionally reliable!! She’s the only one I would ever recommend for a wedding. I was would give Elizabeth and the venue a hundred stars if I could:

epped in and helped wherever she could. The services and options the museum provides for back up plans and other potential concerns is incredible and is something that a lot of the other venues in the area cannot provide. I would recommend considering the museum for your wedding and working with Elizabeth! She is great! We got married in June 2021.

ciated as we had to postpone the wedding due to the pandemic. Having great food and wine was very important for us and the in-house catering under Provenance, Bon Appetit management and Chef Douglas Katz did not disappoint! So many of our guests raved about the food and said it was the best they’ve had at a wedding! I highly recommend the Cleveland Museum of Art!

ved from Bon Appetit catering, the food was every bit as good on the wedding day as it was during the tasting. Special call out to our event coordinator, Elizabeth Coughlin who was incredible and really helped us put our special day together. She is amazing to work with and pays close attention to details. Sadly, we were her last wedding with CMA, but I am sure you’re in good hands if you choose to have your wedding there. It was beautiful!

o smoothly the day of our wedding, and our 250 guests had nothing but praises for the evening. The food is INCREDIBLE, our signature cocktail was such a hit I had to email them for the recipe, and every single employee was more than kind and extremely helpful. Absolutely recommend working with the CMA and their staff.

husband and me. I couldn't imagine my wedding day any more special!

wedding ever. They talked with all our other vendors, kept everything on schedule, and picking this venue means your food, furniture, and cake are already taken care of. They also had a list of vendors as suggestions that made the whole planning process so easy. I cannot day enough positive things about this place. The coordinator, Elizabeth, is the kindest most hard working person and her attention to detail and warmth made our day the best of our lives.

ted the feeling of being surrounded by priceless works of art on our wedding day, and the photographs were gorgeous. The food was outrageous, and we received compliment after compliment on how delicious dinner was. The best part of all? Elizabeth Coughlin. She will take care of you from start to finish. Elizabeth is highly communicative, considers every detail and is a true professional. We couldn't have been happier.

he whole experience, however, was Elizabeth and her team - they were so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Elizabeth walked us through the whole process from start to finish and made sure everything went off without a hitch on the wedding day. If I could do it all again, I wouldn't change a thing!

y and friends without a care in the world. Elizabeth and her team listened, suggested, communicated, and gave us an amazing evening. People still tell us that her wedding was the most beautiful event they have ever attended. Great memories were made at the museum.

are of, and cared about. The whole day and night went off without a flaw thanks to the expert team who worked tirelessly and passionately to make everything run smoothly. The Cleveland Museum of Art has always been my favorite location in all of Cleveland and it served as such a beautiful and unique place to celebrate our marriage. Our wedding would have been the most fun and beautiful day of our life no matter what, but I know that choosing the Cleveland Museum of Art truly made it unforgettable.

ner. The bar staff was especially welcoming so all our guests were at ease and were able to enjoy the evening. Most fun was the custom tour for our guests. The event went well and I appreciate all the detail and execution by the CMA team.

day. From the first meeting with Elizabeth, to the food tasting a few weeks before and the actual day of the wedding everything exceeded my expectations and I have never seen such a beautiful event in my life. She made sure that everything was running smoothly and perfectly and I was so thankful to have her on site that day. I would strongly recommend CMA as a wedding venue to any couple interested, the memories of sharing that space with our guests will last me a lifetime.

the Museum was a true pleasure and I’d recommend it to everyone that they consider it as a top choice for their special day!

dance floor. Elizabeth was professional and knowledgeable, creating a genuine friendship and partnership approach to planning. If you want a seamless experience, stunning ambiance, and a wedding your guests will talk about for years to come, this is THE venue in Cleveland.

usband, family and I would highly recommend considering this venue for your event!

5 star experience.

She was impeccable with the execution of our special day. Her "go get em" attitude mix with southern hospitality really helped to put our minds at ease. We trusted her implicitly with our wedding. Thanks to the CMA and Elizabeth we will have wonderful memories of this important day for the rest of our lives. Sincerely, Matt and Steve

were appreciated. We found for both creativity and fair pricing: Luna Bakery (Brynn Keefe) & Flowerville (Michael Day) were superior. Brynn created the MOST beautiful Palm Tree Cake for the groom's cake and Michael Day's tropical arrangements and detailing were fantastic! We provided a knight in shining armor, maiden, and micro orchids for the top of the Palm Tree cake. Michael Day adorned a card-board "castle" with orchids for the young guests to enjoy during the cocktail hour and after dinner. We had medieval clothing for the young children that they enjoyed, as well. Guests toured the museum before the cocktail hour during which Este Jazz quietly performing. One of the museum tour guides was selected specifically for his interest in young children. We had three guided tours so guests could join a tour as they arrived. Peak Moments photographer David Petkiewicz captured the evening in photos during the cocktail hour and as guests were welcomed at dinner. The Museum's Social Catering Sales Manager Elizabeth Atchley Coughlin professionally assisted with planning and execution of the entire event. She welcomed the many details we included for our "Knight in Shinning Armor" medieval Rehearsal Dinner. The Museum store "Knight" notecards in red, black, gold and silver were used for the invitations. Postcards of the Museum's image were used for the R.s.v.p. We were delighted to support the museum and feature their Armory throughout the evening. Orchids and tropicals were used everywhere as our family is from Florida. Many Medieval items figures, armor, veils for the flowergirls & bride were sourced at Atlanta's Medieval Times. The Museum staff folded all the napkins as beautiful crowns on which orchids were placed for the ladies. The over-the-top efforts of Elizabeth Coughlin and her Associates to plan, execute and coordinate with all the vendors we used was fantastic! Even the security associates were extremely helpful before and after the event. The view out the beautiful large windows was lovely. Perfect venue - professional staff - excellent guidance & execution - memorable evening for all.
