St Clair Ballroom was my dream wedding venue! My husband and I currently live in Detroit, but are from Ohio. We looked at several venues in Michigan (weren’t thrilled) and only about 2-3 in Cleveland before we toured SCB and instantly knew! I wanted an upscale downtown wedding - and SCB is the epitome of elegance, class and beauty! The main ballroom venue truly speaks for itself with the gorgeous windows, but beyond that - the service, food and coordinator (ie Carla) were top notch! I could not have planned a wedding from several hours away without the help of Carla. She was so accommodating and gracious to me and my family throughout the planning period, as if she were my direct wedding planner. She went above and beyond emailing/calling me about all the questions regarding timeline, decor, seating charts, bar signs, etc. and I trusted her to give her honest opinion and not up-sell us. On the wedding day, I didn’t have to worry about anything until I walked into the ballroom with my new husband, with the reception set up for our own private tour of the space while Carla handed us drinks and private tray of apps. The food was the best I had at a wedding - all coming out perfectly warm and delicious. The drinks were amazing - my “her” drink was a French 75 and everyone loved it. Our guests even raved about the cocktail hour space - which became a nice area to hang out throughout the night. Our 9-person live band and stage fit perfectly in the space for 180 people, and sounded amazing - the band even raves about the acoustics in the ballroom. The servers were having a blast with us even and we invited them onto the dance floor! It easy truly the best night of my life and (not biased at all…) the reception I’ve ever been to, and my friends/family can vouch! I felt the price was well worth it in value especially once you account for everything included within it! Don’t hesitate to tour this venue!! Also the hotel attached is so clutch. We got ready in the spa which was also gorgeous.

We had our wedding reception in the St. Clair Ballroom in November 2023, and we can't put into words how perfect and wonderful it was! The space is gorgeous and was a perfect size for our 175-guest wedding. Carla, the space manager, was absolutely wonderful. She made the entire event flow seamlessly and turned the night into an absolutely perfect experience! I would 100% recommend St. Clair for a wedding!

We can not say enough about St Clair Ballroom, Carla & her team for all they did to make our day ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! From the very first tour, the food tasting, all the details in between, to the best day of our lives - St Clair Ballroom and Carla were off the charts! Everyone is still talking about how amazing the food was and how smooth the entire day went! We are forever thankful for this team!!!

We could not be happier with our experience at St. Clair Ballroom!! Carla was the most professional, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable coordinator- our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to her and the entire St. Clair Ballroom team. The space is gorgeous (as are the views!), the food is incredible, and the service is second to none. So many of our guests have reached out to tell me the same. It's also amazing to be in the same building as the Marriott- our guests were able to just get on an elevator at the end of the night and head to their rooms, vs. worrying about driving home or to a hotel miles away! I would HIGHLY recommend the St. Clair Ballroom to anyone looking for their wedding venue!!

The most stunning venue in Cleveland. Working with Carla, St. Clair's event planner was a great experience. She communicates well, kept us organized, and used her creativity to make our wedding night simply beautiful. The food was delicious, drinks delightful, and staff were so kind and friendly to our guests. I cannot recommend this space enough, our guests and family were so incredibly complientary of St. Clair Ballroom.

We are so thrilled that we chose to host our reception at the St. Clair Ballroom. The ballroom itself is stunning, with wonderful views of the city, a stylistic cocktail hour lounge, and a generous space for our 140 guests, dance floor and larger band. Carla is a true professional, patiently guiding us through the process of planning a wedding, down to the very last detail. She was prompt with communication and answered our often numerous questions along the way and assuaged all worries. We felt wholly confident that everything would go off without a hitch, which made our day stress-free! The entire staff provided an elevated level of service from the moment you walked into the venue. They were attentive to us and our guests all evening and went above and beyond to make sure our night was perfect. Appetizers and dinner, which we knew would be a highlight since our tasting, did not disappoint and we received multiple compliments from our guests about the quality and portion sizes. The bar pulled off our specialty cocktails expertly, and made sure our guests were served promptly throughout the night. From the valet service to the adjoining hotel accommodations, every aspect of this venue is guest friendly. I couldn’t imagine us having our reception at any other location. It was absolutely perfect!

St. Clair Ballroom was the most magical place for our wedding reception. Carla and her team were amazing at handling EVERYTHING! We live out of state and it was still so seamless! We had so many compliments on everything from the amazing staff, the dinner, the cocktail hours and stuff! Thank you St. Clair Ballroom. We loved every second of our wedding reception.

Carla and the St. Clair Ballroom were incredible for hosting our wedding reception. Carla was supportive, professional and patient throughout our entire journey of wedding planning. She covered every detail before, during and after our wedding event with ease and perfection! As the bride, I didn't have to be concerned with a single detail because Carla had it covered. We chose St. Clair Ballroom because it is stunning inside with amazing views, a great location for guests visiting Cleveland, and offered a full reception package to cover ever detail. The service all evening was top notch. The food service was incredible top to bottom - many of our guests said it was the best short rib (our main dish) they had tasted! If you're looking for a classy venue and elite service, I couldn't recommend a better place and person to work with for your special day!

I had the wedding of my dreams at the St. Clair Ballroom. Carla was a joy to work with from start to finish. She was quick to respond to all of my inquiries and extremely helpful through the entire planning process. We had to reschedule several times, due to COVID, and they were flexible and accommodating. On our wedding day, Carla and her staff were attentive to our entire bridal party and all of our guests. The food was phenomenal and our bartenders kept the drinks flowing. The windows, the view, the chandeliers - the entire atmostphere is elegant and in the heart of downtown. Love this venue! Highly, highly recommend!

Such a gorgeous venue! The food is incredible and the staff is awesome. Carla and her team helped us navigate the pandemic and rescheduling our wedding, and it was very much worth the wait! They were very helpful the weekend of the wedding in terms of drop off and pickup of items, and setting everything up!

St. Clair was the most beautful, elegant, and FUN setting. Walking into the ballroom is breathtaking from the views to the chandeliers to the attention to detail in every inch of the space. General Manager Carla was spectacular to work with and walk us through the process with class and thought put into every decision. Our family and friends could not stop raving about the food, overall experience, and glamour of the space.

Ten stars would be more appropriate! Carla worked tirelessly during the shutdown to schedule our daughter's wedding 3 times! Always responsive to calls and even unexpected visits! When the day arrived everything was perfect. The food was delicious, the service top notch and the venue absolutely gorgeous. We will recommend this venue to everyone!

Wow! Carla and her team at St. Clair Ballroom were incredible to work with throughout our entire planning process, culminating in the most beautiful night. The event space itself is breathtaking, the crystal chandeliers in the evening make the entire room sparkle and glow! From the appetizers to the late night snacks with gelato, the food was sublime. The bar was incredible and well staffed, with minimal wait times for your next drink. Carla was incredibly receptive and easy to work with, she and her team displayed the most incredible service to us, our parents and our guests. Thank you for a night to remember!

I am still on cloud 9 from our recent wedding reception at the St. Clair Ballroom! From the moment we toured the space, Carla and her team were amazing to work with. They understood our vision and made everything throughout the planning process so easy. Not only that, the wedding day execution went flawlessly. We still have guests raving about the delicious food and how amazing the staff was with their genuine excitement to be celebrating us. With the recent renovation, the room itself is gorgeous, with amazing views of downtown, there is not a bad seat in the house! If you are looking for a wedding venue look no further :)

Carla and Marquita were absolute DREAMS to work with. They both took my crazy ideas and turned them into reality! Our big day was perfect in every way, and we have received SO many compliments about the food and service. The room is spectacular and the view of downtown Cleveland is unmatched. We chose to do uplighting, although the room is great on its own. We can't thank the staff at St. Clair Ballroom enough for making our wedding vision come to life and our special day better than we could have ever expected!
