We could not have asked for a better wedding venue. From the very beginning, the service at Tenk was absolutely amazing. Every question we had was answered promptly and Michelle and Kate were incredibly helpful and accommodating. They truly went above and beyond to make our day special.
The food was amazing! Our guests are still talking about it! Everything was absolutely perfect. Our day was everything we hoped for and more, and a huge part of that was because of Tenk and Marigold Catering. We’re so grateful and would recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful and stress-free wedding day.

Tenk contains two prominent event spaces - the Atrium & North Bay - each with enough space to allow you to completely customize your wedding. The exposed brick, wood and metal beams combined with factory-style windows create a warm atmosphere that is truly intimate for any event.

If you are looking for a unique venue in Cleveland, with a great staff, and the ability to customize/add your own style then Tenk is the venue for you! I cannot say enough great things about our experience!

From the moment we first toured Tenk, we knew we wanted to have our wedding there. The space is beautiful, and the staff communicated so well with us throughout the entire process....
The team helped us to get us some things we had wanted that they don’t typically have. We had both our ceremony and reception there, and everything turned out even more beautiful than we could have imagined. The extra attention the staff paid to our families on the day of did not go unnoticed. And, when a large group of our guests were late due to unexpected traffic in Cleveland, the team went above and beyond in taking care of both of us, our families, and the guests who had already arrived and were waiting. Highly recommend!

ces and quality, as well as, how kind the staff was the entire evening. The staff took tremendous care of myself, my husband, and our parents, making sure that we always had food and drinks at our fingertips. The night went on without a single problem, and they kept the flow of the evening as amazing as I could have asked. We even changed the timeline of the evening the night of (speeches asked to be done before dinner at the time dinner was supposed to be served), and they very kindly changed the timeline to make sure our evening went as we wanted it to. We chose this event space 2 years in advance and had very high hopes and expectations, and they completely knocked it out of the park! We cannot thank Tenk enough for their extremely hard work, observation to detail and kind staff to pull off the best night of our lives!

Tenk was our dream venue, and we could not have asked for a better location and team with whom to celebrate our wedding!
Venue:
Tenk is absolutely gorgeous and there is a lot of o...
pportunity to bring in decor and floral and make the space your own! The main space is super large, but yet we never felt like our 165-person wedding was "drowning" in space. They set it up perfectly so it still could feel intimate, yet people had a little room to breathe throughout the evening. We also loved how Tenk was able to transition our guests through various distinct spaces throughout the evening (and have the bars move along with them!).
Food:
Tenk is owned by Marigold Catering, after all! The food was certainly a highlight of our experience with the venue. Our guests could not stop raving about how it was the "best wedding food they have ever had" and more than one made a comment about how impressed they were that it was served HOT. Marigold's menu is pretty deep and unique, their presentation is beautiful, and they are willing to customize things according to your vision, as desired.
Staff:
Katie was one of the brightest lights in our entire wedding planning experience. She is clearly willing to go the extra mile for her couples, and we were constantly impressed by her ability to work with us to make our (sometimes a little wild and out-there) vision come to life. And the cherry on the cake is that she's fun to have around on wedding day!!!! Beyond Katie, the rest of the Marigold staff was lovely to us and delivered a great experience for our guests. Our drinks weren't watered down, our food was served hot and with a smile, and no plates or drinks were cleared too early (one of my mother's biggest wedding pet peeves!). We felt like VIPs the entire night, and I know our guests felt cared for as well.
Would absolutely recommend Tenk to any other couples looking for a fun industrial venue for their big day! (Or at least Marigold Catering if the space isn't your vibe!!!)

To say Marigold Catering at Tenk West Bank went above and beyond would be an understatement. Katie and Phantasha helped capture my vision in everyway possible and made my dream wed...
ding into a reality. Everyone can agree that Tenk is such a unique and raw space that can be transformed into any kind of wedding that you are thinking of. And beyond the decor and architecture of Tenk, the food was insane! People still tell me they think about the chicken empanadas from our passed hors d'oeuvres and how unique of an assortment Marigold can offer. Our full menu was
Hors D'oeuvres:
-chicken empanadas
-chorizo corndogs
-caprese spoons w/ balsamic "caviar" (vegetarian)
Main Entress:
-sous vide filet mignon
-airline chicken
-turmeric cauliflower steak (vegan)
Late Night Snack:
-soft pretzels w/ beer cheese and mustard
Obviously on your wedding day you are continuously talking to friends and family and trying to dance any time you can. Katie and Phantasha helped me and my now husband make the best of it all by getting our drinks for us and boxing up some soft pretzels for us to enjoy in private. This truly helped us stay in the moment and enjoy our wedding in everyway.
I cannot recommend Tenk West Bank and Marigold catering enough. They helped the planning process become such an ease and helped us create a memory we will forever cherish.

There is not enough space to talk about everything I loved about Tenk. Tenk was the first and only venue we looked at for our wedding. We knew we wanted an industrial feel with an ...
onsite caterer that was located in the city and after our initial walkthrough, we knew Tenk was perfect for us. They were extremely flexible with us as we had to postpone our initial date and kept in great contact throughout a planning process that was much longer than originally anticipated! Katie, the Director of Events, was an absolute dream to work with. She is down to Earth, kind-hearted, and knows what she's doing!! We was thorough in answering all my questions (I had a lot lol!) and made sure that everything went off without a hitch. Phantasia (event manger) and Katie were an absolute dream on our wedding day and made sure everything was perfect. They also exuded calm and cool energy all day and we feel so lucky to know them. We opted for stations for our dinner and our guests could not stop talking about how good the food was!! Options abounded and everyone was able to find something to eat that they enjoyed. The ambiance of Tenk with its high ceilings, industrial feel--mixed with a bright and colorful floral palette--made for a DREAMY and romantic venue. And lastly, the staff at Tenk were true professionals. They all made sure everything ran smoothly and were equally kind and supportive throughout the day. I know it's their job but it really felt like they were happy to be there with us and our guests FELT that. We are grateful to the Tenk team for helping us (finally) realize our wedding dreams and we'll cherish the memories inside of Tenk for the rest of our lives. If you're looking for a beautiful, easily-accessible venue with built-in catering services and a phenomenal event team, Tenk is it!!

We have received endless compliments on both the venue and the food, and overall would absolutely recommend this venue to any friends or family!

k West Bank is something rather new. The space is perfect for accommodating a large amount of guests (I had 234) and many of my guests had never seen the space before so they were amazed. The service through Marigold can’t be beat and I can’t say enough about their event coordinator Nora, and assistant coordinator Sarah! They are there for anything you need from day one and beyond. They have partnerships with several vendors for linens, rentals and they are just getting started! I could not be happier with our special day!

Our experience with Tenk and Marigold was outstanding. Due to how the business is set up (and that fact that our planner, Sarah, was so hands on), the breadth of vendors you end up...
working is quite a bit fewer than at other venues. This is a huge plus if you plan on taking a hands on approach to your wedding, as we did. Sarah was a dream to work with. I can't say enough about her responsiveness, attention to detail and general commitment to her work. We felt like we were the only wedding she was working on in the amount of care she took. What Tenk offered as a space and for the price was unmatched by a wide range of venues we researched across Cleveland, Indiana and Chicago. None came close to offering what Tenk did and I wouldn't have changed a thing about our wedding day, which is a huge statement, I realize. Our guests said the same sentiment after the wedding. Book this venue.

They responded to emailed timely, they did their best to meet all of our request, and they made sure that the day of our wedding there was nothing for us to worry about except to enjoy the day. On the day of our wedding Nora was absolutely amazing. She was regularly checking in with my wife to to see if there was anything that she needed or if there was anything she could do to help her. Tenk was set up exactly how we discussed and it looked amazing. We have heard nothing but great things from our guest on how much fun and how amazing Tenk looked. I would recommend Tenk to anyone and you will no be disappointed.

The food was amazing and the staff make the night seamless. Having a Marigold planner made the day of and weeks right before the wedding so much easier since we were planning the wedding on our own. Nora, our planner, was AMAZING and everyone in my family and bridal party was even commenting on how great she was!! I don't have anything bad to say about Tenk West Bank or Marigold.

We were absolutely thrilled that we decided to book our wedding reception at Tenk West Bank. The space is super cool and unique and was exactly the right look we were going for. Ja...
mie, Michelle, and their staff were phenomenal to work with and were always responsive to our needs with prompt responses. We were able to hang a giant disco ball from the ceiling which made the space look so cool for our reception. Our guests were super impressed with the space. It really delivers on the "wow" factor and you can do so much creatively to make it your own. Food and music were the most important aspects to us and they both worked out very well for us. We had 327 guests at our wedding and the space worked very well for our size. After our tasting, we had no doubt in our mind that the food would be awesome. We had the cider brine chicken, short rib, and of course the truffle whipped mashed potatoes. We decided to go with a buffet because of our size and it worked out very well. The buffet was classy and our guests loved the food. Marigold at Tenk even accommodated a few of our guests who had allergies and made them feel comfortable by serving them their own individually prepared meals. That kind of service goes a long way! Music in that space does sound awesome. If you are looking to throw a really good dance party definitely consider upgrading your sound. It is a large space so you want to make sure that you have a good sound system to fill it out. We paid for extra speakers and it was worth every penny. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat. If you are considering Tenk then go see it for yourself. If you are hosting a big wedding it is so worth it. We knew after we had walked out of our initial tour that Tenk was going to be the right place for us. It has a unique industrial chic look that we were going for and they nailed it. Kudos to Marigold for taking on this ambitious project. Go take a tour and see it for yourself. We loved our experience from beginning to end!
