I cannot say enough great things about the Aviator and their staff when it comes to our wedding. Not only did I get an amazing price using their micro wedding package, but I also h...
ad an smooth planning experience due to their amazing event coordinators— Jenna and Jen. Anytime I had questions I would have a quick response and was able to be accommodated on many of my requests. Everyone we worked with greeted us with kindness and respect.
On the day of our wedding everything went to plan. Food was delicious and warm; we had soooo many complements on the food. The bar staff and waitstaff were very nice and efficient. If there were any issues, we didn’t know about it which was great. My decor was setup exactly how I had envisioned. We seriously had the best night of our lives.
Things about the Aviator that stood out to me over other places were this:
- all-inclusive micro wedding package
- Setup & Cleanup
- Day of coordinator (this was a huge help)
- Ceremony & Reception done at the same location
- Affiliation with local hotels which provided shuttle services
- Many decor pieces provided by the aviator (glass votives, tea lights, etc)
- catering provided at the venue
You can’t go wrong if you want to have an event at the Aviator:)

We were married here on 8/31/25
Prior to booking we were looking for a one stop shop. I wanted everything made easy with the wedding and reception all in one place. We found The ...
Aviator after an exhausting time looking at the ridiculous prices of wedding venues all over Cleveland. What a cool spot! And their outdoor space for the wedding was beautiful. We inquired and soon after met and booked with Jen. The venue price was extremely affordable, and you get her help as your wedding planner/coordinator. How fabulous it was to have her to help with the planning, from the invitation help to the food and tablescapes ...she does it all.
They have quite an extensive catering menu...and dessert options. We met with Jen and the chef for the tastings. She was a great source as well. Anyway, just want to let you know how fabulous the food was!! Our families were thrilled! So many people were saying how it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had! We opted for the short ribs and chicken. They do dual entrees, so your guests will not leave hungry. The short ribs were excellent!!! I mean melt in your mouth. We can't say enough! Our thanks to the chef because that was one of the things we wanted most. really good food ...and she executed that perfectly!
Friends and family have spoken very highly after the wedding of The Aviator and what a cool space it is! I can't tell you how many people have said how awesome it was that you could get married and go right into the reception. Not only was it important to us when looking for a venue, but to know that the guests were also so happy they didn't need to wait hours in between wedding and reception like so many others is really wonderful. For external hires we did an Officiant, a Dj and a Photographer. We had an absolute fantastic time. All in all, it was a beautiful day, and fabulous time. Jen and her team made it wonderful. We had a blast!! THANK YOU!!

Our Daughters Wedding 8/16/25
The Aviator is a must for your wedding or any venue needs. I am normally not one to leave a review, but I feel it is necessary to get the word out ab...
out this facility. The professionalism and attention to detail is none like I've ever seen before. Starting with our wedding planner, Jenn who is an absolute genius in putting together the wedding of your dreams, she made everything come together seamlessly for our daughter's big day. We looked at other venues, but by the time you put everything together yourself and you think you're saving money, you are far from it. The Aviator handles everything. We had a few meetings with Jenn to go over what we needed and she handled everything from that point. The employees are top-notch polite, well dressed and groomed, which made our night even more special. The lead server for that evening Debbie was with us the entire night and it was like having your own personal representative, paying attention to every detail in handling everything and anything that you might need. She is unbelievable! We had 185 people at our wedding. When it was time for dinner, the salads all came out cold when it was time for the entrées they all came out hot. I have never gotten so many compliments on the quality of food at a wedding then I did that night and truthfully, I'm still getting text today regarding the event. Every employee that we came in contact with was polite and courteous, and handled anything and everything that we needed. I know it starts at the top so I must give kudos to the owner for maintaining the facility and staff to the level that it is today! The facility is clean and spotless and the bathrooms are some of the cleanest rooms that have ever been in my life! Good job! Again, I can't say enough about Jen and Debbie who were our wedding planners for this event. They are two of the most polite and professional people that I've ever had the pleasure of working with. If you are having any second thoughts about using the Aviator as your venue please please trust me on this you will not be disappointed.
I hope this gets back to the owner! I really want to thank him for a job well done! Also, Jenn and Debbie, definitely deserve a raise!!! Thank you! Bellian/Adams Wedding

A huge shoutout to Jen! She was truly a rockstar — so organized, calm, and on top of every little detail. Thanks to her, the entire day flowed seamlessly. We didn’t have to worry about a thing and could just soak up every moment. Her professionalism and kind, calming presence made all the difference. This day would not have been perfect without her!
The venue itself was stunning, and the rooftop after-party was the cherry on top — such a blast and such a unique way to end the night. Our guests are still raving about it!
We are beyond grateful to the entire team for making our day so magical. Highly, highly recommend! BEST DAY EVER!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at The Aviator Cleveland! From the moment we booked until the final moments of our wedding night, everything was seamless...
, beautiful, and beyond what we had imagined—thanks to the incredible team, especially Jen Seidel and Khadar Soussou.
Jen and Khadar were truly a dream to work with. They made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free, and were so easy to communicate with—always responsive, thoughtful, and willing to meet in person as often as needed. They made us feel so supported throughout planning, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect.
Their attention to detail is unmatched. Nothing was overlooked—from the big picture down to the tiniest elements that brought our vision to life. They anticipated things we hadn’t even thought of and made sure every detail was planned with intention. Their organization made us feel confident at every step, and their timelines and execution were flawless.
The day of the wedding was truly magical. The venue is absolutely stunning—modern, elegant, and versatile, with gorgeous spaces that flowed beautifully from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. The way everything came together was like something out of a dream.
What really set this experience apart was the professionalism and care of the entire staff. Every single person we interacted with was kind, attentive, and on top of their game. Our guests are still raving about how smoothly everything went and how welcoming the team was.
Thanks to Jen, Khadar, and the whole Aviator team, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every single moment of our day without stress. If you're looking for a venue that combines gorgeous design, top-tier service, and an absolutely outstanding team, you will not find a better place than The Aviator Cleveland.

of the wedding all our dreams became a reality and I wouldn't have changed a thing, in fact I would do it all over again! Guests talked all night about how great the food and service was. We also had our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner on site and everything ran so smoothly and the food for that was great as well. I cannot recommend The Aviator enough to anyone that I talk to and we will definitely be back when we're in town!

We had the pleasure of doing our rehearsal dinner and after party on site in addition to the big day. The entire team went above and beyond with every detail to make my vision perfect. They were so fabulous it got to the point I would just tell Justin & Roula "whatever they think" when it came down to some final decision making because they were absolutely nailing everything! Jen S. dealt with my million questions and indecisiveness, and she is just so organized which any bride would appreciate! By the end of the night we almost felt like this team was our own family celebrating our love with us. Also need to shout out our fabulous bar staff and the phenomenal food. The food at The Aviator is originally why we considered having our wedding here and we are still receiving messages from our guests raving about the food AND the experience. Best day ever!!!

Cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was. The communication right away via the Knot was much appreciated. Khadar worked with our schedule to get us a tour of the ve...
nue which was incredible. He was welcoming and felt like we were talking with a friend when discussing our ideas. We toured numerous other places but this one felt right. We loved the all-inclusive feel as we didn’t not have to worry about many other vendors that our friends wedding planning along with us had to (linens, chair rentals, etc.). We put a hold on our date shortly after and got to planning. We worked with Jen, and she truly made our visions come to life from start to finish. She took my inspiration photos and turned it into exactly what I hoped for. She was so responsive throughout the entire process which was helpful as we were not in town to meet in person often. We even had some last minute adjustments that she gave no push back on! On the day of, the space was absolutely beautiful. We did our first look photos on the patio prior to going to our church which worked out beautifully. Jen was there the entire time making sure everything was perfect - she fixed whatever little issues we had the day of in a timely matter. Another huge plus was that we got to drop off all of our decor and supplies the day of - Jen set up everything the day of and had it boxed back up the next day for us to just pick up. Khadar even stopped by during our dinner to congratulate us which was a great surprise. Speaking of, we still have guests raving about the short rib and how beautiful the space was! We could not have asked for a better experience and would recommend the Aviator to anyone getting married.

d met Khadar and Jen, we knew that this was where we wanted our fairytale wedding to be. There aren't enough words to express how very grateful we are to the both of them for always greeting us with a hug or hand shake when we came up either for lunch, dinner, or the New Year's function. They were always there to listen and assist us with any and all questions we had. Even on our wedding day, Jen sent me photos of how beautiful the room was and how well and elegant is was decorated. Everyone of our guests enjoyed the food, drinks, and atmosphere. I am very sad to not have the opportunity to work with them anymore but down the road should another function come up, we will definitely be calling Khadar and Jen. If I could give the Aviator 100 stars I 100% would because every person and detail for our special day was absolutely amazing. Wishing you all the best!

Khadar welcomed us with open arms in July 2022 when we showed interest in our wedding June 2024. We booked it right on the spot. Jen was the best wedding planner we could ever ask ...
for. Not one detail went unseen. She made sure we were calm, we made sure we were prepared, and she made sure we would have the best wedding ever. Her communication was STRONG. She took care of all the decorating when we dropped it off in boxes, and the next day all we had to do was pick it up in boxes. The tasting was amazing, and the wedding day matched that. From the passed apps, to the chicken Marsala & short rib, and lastly to the late night snack- WOW! The wait staff had food out quickly. Our proposal was on the roof top, and our special day was in the take flight space. Choose the Aviator for your special day, they’ll make it even more special!

The Aviator is a beautiful and modern venue, perfect for our dream wedding of 300 guests. The Aviator staff are highly professional and considerate. We worked with Jen Seidel, oper...
ations manager, for an entire year to help our wedding vision come to reality. She was easy to work with, always available, and happy to walk us through any detail, no matter how small. Her calm demeanor was essential while planning a significant day!
Positively, The Aviator does all the wedding set-up and the cleaning after the reception, which was one of our top priorities when looking for a venue. They also allowed us time the day before for the bridal party to practice their entrances.
The food was absolutely delicious. All guests, including those with meal accommodation changes, were served dinner quickly, and we got a lot of compliments on the food. The drinks were incredible, and the bar service was remarkable. We had an open bar.
I can’t repeat enough that the service was exceptional! Everyone at the Aviator was professional, accommodating, easy to work with, and excellent at their jobs. We had so many children at our wedding; all the staff members were patient, mindfull, and helpful.
After our wedding, we had guests contact us to communicate how impressed they were with the overall service of the Aviator staff, especially the servers and bartenders!
Finally, our wedding wouldn’t have come together without the hard work of the Event Management Team, especially Roula Elias, Aviator Event Manager, whom we worked closely with the day before and the day of the wedding.
Thank you, Aviator, our wedding was perfect!

We hosted a beautiful 100 person wedding and would absolutely choose the Aviator again! From the warm welcome we received from Khadar & his tour to the planning with Jen and care t...
aken with post-wedding packaging of pictures etc., every detail was expertly handled. The app made it easy to ask questions and Jen’s response time was super quick. The food was delicious (short ribs) and though our desire for homemade desserts added a little extra work for the
Aviator team, they handled it very smoothly — and all was ready for pickup the next day.
We utilized vendor parters of the Aviator and their familiarity with the facility meant that we had few details to handle ourselves — and they did a great job. We also had an open bar and we’re able to select a wide variety of liquor and had a champagne toast preset at each guests place. The venue has a covered entrance (so nice since we had inclement weather), convenient parking for guests with easy highway access , a rooftop and indoor bar (which we enjoyed after the rehearsal) and a nearby hotel that provided free and reliable shuttle service. As the parents of the bride, we were delighted to host a wedding the Aviator!

The Aviator was quick to come up with a backup plan and we ended up having the most beautiful ceremony indoors. We were able to have an after party there as well, and a hotel is 0.2 miles down the road which was perfect for all of our out of town guests. Definitely recommend this place for your wedding or event!

We are so incredibly grateful to the Aviator for their professionalism, personal connection, incredible service, and amazing selections to meet every vision and budget. Thank you for everything you did for us, and thank you for making the entire experience feel like I was working with friends.

We had our wedding / wedding reception in Gabriella’s Space at The Aviator. We had signed up for a micro-wedding packages that included nearly everything - venue, wedding, food, ba...
r, flowers, tablecloths, etc. and are so glad we went with The Aviator. Khadar & Jen made the process so very easy and were always available to answer questions. They even had an app to help you plan & keep track of everything! The room was beautiful & very updated with a great view of airport runways and a gorgeous patio. Unfortunately it rained all day and we didn’t get to use the patio for the ceremony, but the team helped us quickly adapt and move our ceremony inside. The staff was helpful throughout the day. Plus, the venue was really easy to find with plenty of parking for our guests. We would highly recommend The Aviator & specifically Gabriella’s Space for anyone looking to have a smaller wedding that is beautiful but not just a standard wedding hall.

I’m not exaggerating when I say the Aviator is hands down the best venue in Cleveland. My wedding was an absolute dream come true and I cannot put into words how happy I was with t...
he whole day. I truly can not think of one thing that went wrong!! Khadar, Jen, Celina, Rula and many many others made the whole wedding experience a breeze. They were so quick to respond to any of my questions, they coordinated everything PERFECTLY, and they were soooo sweet. Not to mention the food was seriously so good and it was the best meal I’ve had in forever. Also being able to use the bar for an after party after the wedding was so awesome and no one had to wait long for a drink the whole night. Our friends and family said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to!! We will be forever grateful for the staff, the atmosphere, and the amazing service that we experienced from the moment we visited the Aviator. Don’t walk, run and book for your wedding! You will not regret it.

raving about the food. Every single guest was served hot food. The chef did an excellent job. We also decided to have a vegan and gluten free dinner option, and they nailed it. It could not have been a better experience. The staff was fantastic. You get what you pay for and then some! Highly recommend The Aviator for a wedding venue.

m wedding. Not only was Megan a big help in planning our day, so was Morgan. If you are looking for a fun, welcoming, family oriented place to have your wedding go here. Better yet, if you are looking for a place to have your wedding, GO here! It was a wonderful night. Our family and friends cannot stop talking about how amazing the place was, how nice the serving team was, and how great the location was! Thank you 100th Bomb Group!

We had our wedding reception here recently and it was perfect! Megan was fantastic- she made sure everything was done to a "T"! We went through a couple coordinators initially when...
we booked the venue with one quitting and another taking a leave of absence, which was slightly daunting, however when Megan was assigned to us, she assured us that she wasn't going anywhere and that she would be there to make things perfect! Our dinner and dancing was in the Jeffrey ballroom- which was very spacious for our group of 142 (originally plotted for about 175). The food was fantastic- we had the chicken piccata and apple glaze pork and our guests had nothing but good things to say! We had our cocktail hour on the rooftop observation deck, which our guests loved! Everyone talked about how unique the experience was and how neat it was to watch the planes come in! Even though it was a warmer day, Megan made sure their was umbrellas for shade and our guests had a nice breeze.

ined of a waitress being rude to them. My father's steak was really over cooked (like chared) and he asked for another that was medium-ish. He received a steak that was still mooing and barely cooked at all. The waitress pulled me (the bride) aside and told me about what was going on and kinda talking crap about my dad. I then told her that it was my father and she felt really bad about it and took 2 steak dinners off of our bill. Other than that, everything went smoothly and everyone loved it!

We had our ceremony and our reception at the 100th Bomb Group and they were FANTASTIC! The event coordinator that we worked with was very helpful and we were able to pull the whole...
thing off with only a month of planning! She also waived the ceremony fee, let us remove the bar from the package we selected (we had a cash bar since only a few of our guests would drink), and gave us a military discount.
The day of our wedding there were a few snags, but the event coordinators and the rest of the staff made sure everything went smoothly! Unfortunately it rained on our wedding day so we weren't able to have our ceremony on the patio with the gazebo, but they had a backup room ready for us just in case and we were able to use the patio during our reception once the weather improved.
The staff members that set up for the reception were more than accommodating and very helpful every step of the way. The food was very good and service during the reception was fantastic. They made sure that my husband and I had everything that we needed, especially when it came to things I hadn't thought of (such as covering my dress with a small white tablecloth during dinner in case of spills).
Since the weather cleared up in time for pictures, the vehicles and planes outside provided for some very memorable wedding photos. We were able to get some unique shots in addition to traditional poses.
Cons:
The "bridal room" that they offer you is very small and dimly lit and is located inside the women's bathroom. It was nice to have a room that we could lock to store our stuff in, but it doesn't work very well as a dressing room.
The event coordinator that helped me plan our wedding was not there on our wedding day and I was not informed of this ahead of time. I was a little upset about this when I arrived, but the coordinators that were there were very helpful and executed everything as planned.
I would definitely recommend the 100th Bomb Group to other brides. Our wedding was wonderful and I can only imagine what they could have done for us if we had more than a month to plan!

a buffet of different appetizers since we would be having a seated dinner for the wedding. We also opted for a cash bar, but we provided the champagne toast! The room decor was great. They even used our wedding colors with the linens. Great choice and affordable.
