The Lake Erie Building was such an amazing venue for our wedding!! The industrial vibe was everything we wanted!! The inventory of decor, props, tables, chairs, and linens were perfect for what we needed allowing us to do save money on rentals.... We planned on 200 guests and actually ended up with 170; we arranged the space to accommodate and had PLENTY of space! The staff is all very friendly, and Hannah was our coordinator; she was super responsive and helpful. One of the things we loved most was having it for extra days before and after the event. There was no rush the morning of to set up and no rush the night of to get everything we brought in out. You do have to bring in your own alcohol and all your own vendors, but they gave great suggestions and made it very easy.
A few tips- the parking/ entrance for guests can be a little confusing, and even though they have some signs and staff to help, I recommend creating more signs, maybe designating others to help guide people, and even sharing maps/ instructions with your guests ahead of time; everyone figured it out eventually and made it though. Also, the acoustics aren’t great so made it a little hard to hear the music if you’re further from the dance floor. Lastly, make sure the ice chest is FULL and maybe even have your bartenders bring extra- we ran out toward the end of the wedding.
Overall, the experience working with them and the space was great so we highly recommend it!!
