Kristy and her team were absolutely amazing! Kristy was so communicative throughout the entire planning process and always made us feel like we were in great hands. On our wedding day, everything was seamless and so well executed. Her team created such an elevated experience for our guests. The food was incredible, and the service was even better. The second we walked into the venue with our bridal party, we were immediately taken care of and never had to worry about a thing. Being able to fully enjoy our day without stressing about the details was such a gift. We are so grateful to Kristy and her team for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more! 🤍

My daughter's wedding could not have been more perfect! Truss is a stunning venue with breathtaking views of the city. The space is clean, modern, and well taken care of. The food was exceptional and we received so much feedback from everyone enjoying their meal. BUT, what makes this place perfect for a wedding is the Director of Sales, KRISTY PAPSON. She goes above and beyond to ENSURE you have a perfect day. She is there from the very start to the very end of the wedding planning experience as well as the day of. She truly wants everyone to have a wonderful experience. Her expertise in wedding planning was so helpful as well. She answered every email quickly and made herself available to work on whatever needed to be done. Just one of the many examples of her commitment and dedication was a few days before the wedding, we had to move a very large and heavy seating chart that my son had built, into the venue. We needed 2 people to move it and my son-in-law was working right up until the Friday wedding. Trying to find someone who got off of work before 5:00 pm during the week was hard and Kristy offered to stay until 6:30 pm so we could get the sign moved in. She really is amazing and the space would not be what it is without her. I highly recommend this venue! If I get to plan another wedding, it will definitely be here again!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Truss Cleveland and Kristi and her incredible staff. From start to finish, our wedding day was absolutely flawless, and that is entir...

ely thanks to their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care. Kristi was phenomenal throughout the entire process. She was organized, calm, and completely on top of every detail, which allowed us to truly enjoy our day without any stress. Her team worked seamlessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly, and it showed in how perfectly the day unfolded. One moment that truly stood out was when the groom had an unexpected shoe emergency. Without hesitation, Kristi jumped into action and handled the situation promptly and professionally. What could have been a stressful moment was resolved quickly and discreetly, allowing the day to continue without a hitch. That level of dedication and quick thinking speaks volumes about her and her team. If you’re looking for a team that goes above and beyond, anticipates needs, and ensures your wedding day is nothing short of perfect, we highly recommend Truss Cleveland. Kristi and her staff exceeded every expectation and helped make our wedding unforgettable.

pond to every little question. She made the whole planning process feel easy and fun, and on the wedding day everything flowed perfectly because of her. The venue itself is simply breathtaking. The outdoor terrace is one of the most gorgeous spaces I’ve ever seen, and our photos out there turned out incredible. Inside, the atmosphere was just as stunning, and our guests could not stop complimenting every detail. And the food… wow. People are still telling us it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding—the short rib especially was out of this world. The drinks were amazing, the bar lines were quick, and every little detail felt seamless. We are truly obsessed with how everything turned out and couldn’t be happier that we chose truss. It was the most perfect place to celebrate, and I will be forever grateful for Kristy and the whole team for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

lan the details out and cannot thank her enough. She is so meticulous with ensuring every detail is exactly what you want for your big day. She assisted by having several planning meetings prior and recommending several vendors such as our DJ and ‘Doggy I Do’ to incorporate our beloved pup in the ceremony. She goes well above and beyond and deserves all the high praise in the world. Additionally, her colleague Vince was helpful in recommending the perfect place to get suits and shoes to bring our wedding dreams to reality. While the price may seem like a lot, it is well worth it in the long run. Our guests raved over the views of the city, the indoor and outdoor spaces, and the food. Many said it was the best wedding they had been to. We highly recommend this venue—you won’t regret it.

ing the planning journey, and ultimately executing our wedding day was seamless. What sets Truss apart isn't just the unbeatable views of Ohio City and downtown Cleveland, but also their ability to truly deliver a 5-star experience. Not once did we worry about timing, logistics, or setup…Kristy and her team had everything handled, which allowed us to be stress-free and fully present in the moment. Throughout the night, countless friends and family members came up to us and said it was not only the best wedding they had ever attended, but also the most impressive venue they'd ever seen in Cleveland. People raved about the food, the ambiance, the service, and the views. If you're planning a wedding in Cleveland (or even considering it), we wholeheartedly recommend Truss. It exceeded every expectation we had and gave us a day we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

or-to-ceiling glass windows offering panoramic views of Lake Erie and downtown Cleveland. The natural light during the day was beautiful, we watched the sun set, and the city lights at night made the atmosphere feel magical. Kristy, the event coordinator, was incredible. She was organized, responsive, and helped guide us through every step of the planning process. She was also open to personal touches, allowing us to build a custom flower wall in the foyer and bring in our own “I Do” hot sauce packets as favors — which our guests loved! On the day of the wedding, the venue was fully staffed with attentive servers and support, making everything flow smoothly. We received so many compliments from our guests — many said it was the best wedding reception they’d ever attended. The food was outstanding, both in presentation and taste. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue or a better experience. Truss gave us a truly unforgettable reception.

From the first visit to the final day, the Truss team was amazing. They were so calm, cool & collected and now I know why, everything was smooth as silk. They are absolute experts ...

in pulling off all the details. My daughter really wanted her outdoor ceremony but Cleveland weather was so iffy for that day. But Kristy kept saying, don’t worry, the weather changes, we will just keep an eye out. And sure enough the forecast changed. We pressed forward. Through their encouragement, my daughter got to have her magical ceremony outside and the few raindrops made it all the more special.

Kristy even made sure to check in with me and my husband to make sure we ate throughout the night. I can't recommend Truss enough!

We first saw Truss back in January of 2021 while it was still under construction on a hard hat tour of the venue with Vince. We loved the vision that we were shown, and immediately...

trusted Vince that he would help us bring that vision to life. The planning process was great, we got to see the venue a few different times not including the tasting so that really helped us when we were putting together our floor plan and picking out decor! Kristy was helpful, but I will say having a wedding planning to help in addition to Kristy was the real key to living out the vision and details. The day off was incredible, we got so lucky to have the most perfect day and it seemed to go seamlessly once we arrived at Truss before guests would arrive. We had a lot to drop off the night before and we’re worried that some of it might of gotten lost or misplaced but everything was right where it needed to be for wedding day! The last thing I’ll mention is the food, IT WAS AMAZING!! They give you the biggest servings and the plates you have to choose from are all so delicious, we have heard from so many of our guests that this was the best food they have had at a wedding! I know Truss was brand new at the time that I booked it so it did not have any preferred vendors list, but Vince recommending Brandi Pennington from All Events Planned was the best decision ever, she recommended all our vendors and we loved every single one of them!

Truss is a perfect Cleveland venue. The view is unbeatable, and the staff is so professional and accommodating. We worked with both Vince and Kristy during our planning process and...

the day of our wedding and they are both exceptional. I honestly wasn’t hesitant to book a “new” venue (it was under construction when we decided) because Vince and Kristy were beyond reassuring and trustworthy. I highly recommend Truss! I think most of our compliments from guests were about the venue and experience, which makes deciding the rest of the guest experience much easier, knowing your venue and their staff create an amazing experience on their own.

A spectacular new venue in Cleveland! We booked Truss when it was still under construction and Vince and team really delivered! The rooftop terrace worked beautifully for cocktail...

hour, while the indoor space was perfect for dinner and dancing for our group of 150, with plenty of space for more. The space has been furnished with elegance and quality, so had to add minimal decoration. Kristy and team not only executed perfectly what we had planned, but went above and beyond in the smallest of details - eg warming up my sister’s dinner because she was too nervous to eat before her speech! Certainly not the most budget friendly venue in town, but worth every penny for us.

find anywhere else. Their in-house chef executed a reception-style menu that left our guests full and absolutely raving about the options. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. I cannot say enough nice things about Vince and Andrea. They ensured our event's success from our first site visit until our last guest left the building. Their attention to detail and professionalism is what truly elevates this space from a beautiful venue to the top spot to host an event in Cleveland.
