Shangri-La II Event Center
About This Vendor
Cleveland's Premier Wedding Venue
Booking now for 2023, we are completely sold out for 2022: Season runs from May 15 - October 15 Imagine this: You step onto plush grass that feels cool to the touch under your bare feet. The wind is blowing gently off what appears to be an endless body of water that stretches to the horizon. You walk past the white, sandy beach where a bon fire is burning and hear laughter as friends share drinks and stories. The twinkling lights, music, and dancing beckons you towards a Tiki bar where a bartender is serving up fizzy drinks and fun cocktails. You stop. You soak in this moment. You smile as you run towards the dance floor and realize: this is my wedding day. Beauty abounds at Shangri-La no matter the day or season, but we like to think that the our sunsets are second to none. As the sun begins to slowly set it gives way to a kaleidoscope of orange, red, and pink hues that are cast upon the lake. Shangri-La transforms into something you would find only in a fairy tale.

I'm a wedding photographer (Beck Photo Co) and have photographed MANY weddings at Shangri-La. It is truly one of the most magical places. Every wedding I photograph there is so beautiful. The lake, the beach, the grounds, pontoon boat, the isla...
nd...I could go on forever. And the sunsets! Oh my gosh, they are unbelievable. But what really takes this place over the top is the owners and the staff. They are the absolute best people to work with. So kind and accommodating to all of their couples. They really go above and beyond for everyone. I couldn't more highly recommend a venue. You will have an amazing experience if you get married at Shangri-La!

ll me this wedding had the most unique and beautiful setting. We felt like we were on a beach in Hawaii with the tiki bar and fire pit. Everything was customizable and if you didn’t have a vendor in mind, Pam and rod will steer you in the right direction. Lastly, the boat rides throughout the reception were a HUGE hit. I would highly recommend this awesome venue to anybody looking for a fun, romantic wedding!! ❤️

Rod and Pam Zeigler
Owner
Rod and Pam along with Pam’s parents Bill and Adele Sohm ran a water ski center for over 30 years. During that time several weddings were held at the lake. Recent renovations and the addition of a 100’ x 50’ clear span tent and grounds upgrades have moved the center to a tropical wonderland. Shangri-La is now a family owned and run venue.
Accommodations on site are now available.
Today Shangri-La is a full service event center that hosts weddings and events from mid-May through mid-October.
