Walking into the Union Club during the holidays last year for a venue tour was breathtaking. While absolutely stunning, the pictures truly can't do it justice. The venue is classic, timeless, and exactly where my husband and I chose to celebrate our wedding this past September. From the organization during the planning process to the day of service and food, everything far exceeded my expectations. Almost all our guests had to travel in from out of state and they are still raving about the wedding. I couldn't recommend the Union Club more!
If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines timeless elegance, exceptional service, and a touch of historic charm, the Union Club in downtown Cleveland is an absolute gem. From the moment we stepped through its grand doors, we were captivated by its stunning architecture and refined ambiance. The Union Club offers a level of sophistication that is hard to match. The beautifully appointed ballrooms, with their high ceilings, intricate details, and warm lighting, create an enchanting atmosphere for any wedding. What truly sets the Union Club apart is its outstanding service. Sarah went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our day was flawless. From planning to execution, her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail made the entire process stress-free. She worked seamlessly with our vendors and offered fantastic recommendations to enhance our wedding. The food was another highlight of our experience. The chef and team delivered a delicious and beautifully presented meal that our guests are still raving about. The Union Club takes pride in providing a first-class culinary experience, and it showed in every bite. Beyond its aesthetic appeal and top-tier service, the location in downtown Cleveland added a touch of convenience and charm. Our guests loved the easy access to nearby hotels and the vibrant city atmosphere. If you’re searching for a venue that blends historic charm with modern amenities and impeccable service, look no further than the Union Club. It was the perfect backdrop for our special day, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. Highly recommend!
The Union Club was absolutely SPECTACULAR as a wedding venue. Everything from coordinating and communication with Sarah was extremely professional and easy. Everything went smoothly on the day of event with no hiccups - the event staff, servers, and bartenders were extremely professional. The food was OUTSTANDING - the steak was cooked perfectly - guest said this was the best wedding food they have ever had. The size of the ballroom was perfect for my 125 guestlist (could easily fit more) and the cocktail hour spread over the first floor allowed guest to move freely.
Any questions?
Our wedding was in August 2024 and we are thrilled with how everything turned out. Sarah Hanson did an excellent job and helped us plan multiple events at the Union Club on Friday and Saturday. We live in a different state, but there were no hiccups at any point. She and other staff were communicative, organized, respectful, and accommodating. All guests loved the venue and especially the food. The wedding party stayed in the on-site hotel rooms, which was very convenient. Valet did a great job. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. It also stuck out to us how highly the vendors spoke about the Union Club. We are very happy with our decision and highly recommend.
If you're dreaming of a wedding that exudes timeless elegance, the Union Club offers a perfect blend of classic charm.

The Union Club put in the wedding of our dreams! Huge thank you to Sarah and the staff. They were so attentive, professional, and did not miss any details. The dinner was excellent and cooked to perfection. We chose filet mignon, beef short rib, and walleye. Everyone mentioned it was one of the best meals they ever had, and we have to agree! It was phenomenal! The bar staff accommodated all of our requests and then some. We are so thankful we chose The Union Club to host our wedding reception! Thank you again to Sarah and everyone at The Union Club!
What a dream!! The Union Club was an absolute dream! We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or wedding day! A GIANT thank you to Sarah! Everything went smooth and turned out perfectly. PURE MAGIC!
Everything was perfection.
The venue itself is stunning and timeless, with so much to offer. Truly unlike any other venue in Cleveland.
Our guests raved about the food and the impeccable service. All of the staff is professional, warm, welcoming and was from beginning to end and even after.
Additionally, the transition from working with Nancy to Sarah as our POC was seamless and Sarah jumped in with grace and ease.
We can not say enough about how blown away we were by the union club. It will forever have such a special place in our hearts, we can’t imagine having had our reception anywhere else.
My husband and I got married at the Union Club in May 2023 and could not have had a better experience with Sarah Hanson and the Union Club staff. I was originally worried when there was a staffing change in the middle of our wedding planning process, but Sarah came in ready to go. She was communicative, organized, empathetic, and receptive to any adjustments we wanted to make. All of our guests raved about the food and the seamlessness of the whole evening, in addition to it being a beautiful space. I can't recommend Sarah and the Union Club enough!
Nancy and The Union Club staff went above and beyond all of our expectations during the whole weekend of our wedding. From the beginning, they were responsive, organized and overall amazing to work with. The Union Club staff and overall look/feel of the Club made our wedding a dream. Our guests have continued to rave about how amazing and elegant The Union Club was. Their staff was top notch through the entire day and we are so appreciative of their efforts. I highly recommend The Union Club for any event, especially a wedding!
We started planning our daughter's wedding 2 years ago and booked The Union Club at that time. We were planning a large wedding (around 225 is the maximum there). With Covid still lurking and with additional family health issues, we made the decision to decrease our guest count to 85 - just immediate family. Nancy and her staff did everything possible to make our experience fantastic, from the bride and groom, toddlers to 90 year old grandparents. They were open and flexible and provided excellent service from the time we arrived at 9:00 a.m. to when we left at 12:30 a.m. the next morning. Cocktail hour was fantastic with two bars, no waiting, delicious signature drinks, abundant and delicious appetizers and plenty of comfortable chairs, couches and high tops for people to relax, eat and chat. The dinner was excellent - beautiful salad, hot food that was cooked perfectly, delicious desserts, wine and late night pizza. There was not one unpleasant moment in the two years of planning and the wedding itself. It was perfect! I highly recommend The Union Club for a warm wonderful wedding.
The Union Club was the perfect venue for my daughter and son in law’s wedding! Wonderful variety of food and bev packages to choose from. Nancy and staff were so attentive to the details leading up to the big day. Always very responsive to enquiries. Perfectly elegant setting and professional staff. From the beautiful cocktail hr rooms to the spectacular ballroom… the reception could not have been more perfect!!
I recently had my wedding reception at The Union Club and I am so happy that I did! The entire building is so stunning on it's own and was perfect for my reception! This venue is truly a hidden gem within Cleveland and so many guests commented how they had never heard/been here before, but thought everything was beautiful! Nancy was amazing to work with. Always in constant communication with myself, something that I greatly appreciated! I was in such great hands with the entire staff and had zero worries throughout the entire planning process and the big day. The food was outstanding, best food hands down! Everyone mentioned that their food was delicious and same with the drinks! I had the best day of my life and the Union Club was there to make sure that happened. Such a great venue and recommend this space for any wedding!
I am SO HAPPY we chose the Union Club for our daughter’s August wedding. We held both the ceremony and reception at the club. The professionalism and experience of the sales and catering staff makes planning not only easy, but it gives you peace of mind that things will get done, and get done correctly. I never had to worry that something was getting overlooked. Our every question, no matter how trivial, was always answered promptly. This made planning that much simpler. The day went off without a hitch. Our guests LOVED the venue. The food was terrific and we received many accolades. I’d like to point some things out that people often overlook. It was a hot day, and threatening rain. I never had to be concerned with the weather. The air conditioning was good. I’ve been to venues where the air conditioning is insufficient. I loved having use of the library and piano during cocktail hour. I hired a jazz piano player for the hour. It’s a definite vibe. Also, the beverage manager went out of her way to make sure the couples signature drinks were a success. This, again, helped create a certain vibe. The only blip, and I’m not sure, it even was a blip, was the chandeliers in the ceremony room, flickered a couple times during the ceremony. When I said something to my sister, about it, she said, how else our her grandparents going to let her know they are here! I then loved that the lights flickered.
The Union Club did an incredible job with our wedding. First, the venue itself is gorgeous and provides perfect backdrops for photos. There are no bad angles in the Union Club. Second, having amenities on site as far as rooms for set up, hotel rooms for family/guests, and having separate areas for the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception/dinner made everything easier to plan. Third, the catering was delicious. Our tasting with them was perfect, and the execution on our wedding night was flawless. Everyone got their food in a timely manner, the presentation was enticing, and the food itself was worthy of a MIchelin starred restaurant. Lastly, Nancy was professional and dedicated to helping out with any and all planning needs that we had. She helped answer questions, worked with our vendors to coordinate planning, and helped make our special day as smooth as possible. She went out of her way to get us drinks and hors d'oeuvres after the ceremony when we were taking photos, and helped organize our gifts and cards for us so we didn't have to worry. Highly recommend the Union Club and Nancy Zaroogian for your wedding needs, they did an awesome job!
Having our wedding at the Union Club was nothing short of a dream. When you have a wedding at the Union Club, not only are you getting the beautiful venue, but you are getting the years of experience in hosting events. The coordinator for weddings at the Club, Nancy, is an absolute delight to work with. She's attentive to detail, always easy to reach, and was ready to meet with me when I had questions. The caliber of the food was top-notch; I have received constant compliments! The Union Club played a huge role in making my wedding day absolutely perfect. If you have the opportunity to have your wedding here, you will without a doubt have the wedding of your dreams!
We loved hosting our wedding at the Union Club! Nancy was a huge help and always responded quickly when we had questions. She worked closely with all of our vendors and the whole day went very smoothly. We have heard nothing but amazing things from our guests, particularly about the food! Everyone's food was cooked perfectly, even the beef. We can't thank the Union Club for helping make our wedding so perfect!
Having our wedding at the Union Club was a dream. The coordinator for weddings at the Club, Nancy is phenomenal to work with. She's attentive to detail, always easy to reach, and helped me so much whenever I had questions. The caliber of the food was top-notch; I don't think anyone expects wedding food to taste as good as it does at UC. From the initial tour to the last moment of our big day, I can't imagine a better place to have had our wedding. If you have the opportunity to have your wedding here you will have the wedding of your dreams.
The Union Club was top notch in everything. We loved working with Nancy from the start! She is helpful, organized and knowledgeable. We knew the Union Club was our dream venue the second we walked in and met Nancy. Every inch of the Club is sophisticated gorgeous with the Grand Staircase, cocktail rooms and ballroom. The entire staff was extremely friendly and very accommodating. We also had our rehearsal dinner at the Union Club in the main dining room as well.
I will also say that the food is unbelievable. All of our guests were raving about the food and even impressed one of our guests who caters high end parties in NYC. The ballroom is elegant and a very intimate setting. I would recommend the Union Club 100%.
Elegant and pristine venue, top notch food and staff. Thank you Nancy, the Union club staff and the Union Club for making our wedding a fairytale wedding and our rehearsal dinner a night to remember!
After looking at several wedding venues in Cleveland, my now husband and I fell in love with the Union Club. We had both the ceremony and reception in different spaces there and couldn’t be happier with our choice. Nancy and her team were incredible to work with (including being completely accommodating and patient through 2 postponements). The food was amazing, the coordination of the logistics were seamless, and the Club’s hospitality to us and our guests was truly top notch. If you do not want to stress at all about your wedding, the Union Club is the place to do it!
Nancy is amazing !! Book the union club for your wedding . The staff was amazing and had everything very organized . We are forever grateful to everyone there
Love rob and sav
We cannot say enough great things about our wedding reception at The Union Club. It was an absolute dream come true. Nancy and her team make you feel so special and taken care of from day one and ensure that your day goes seamlessly. Nancy was there every step of the way , from postponing due to COVID, answering late night emails and even on the wedding day making sure everything was set up and ready to go. The ambiance, food and service was five stars. We are still getting compliments on the food and how delicious it was! We love the Union Club so much! Thank you thank you thank you!
The Union Club was the most perfect venue! We knew the minute we stepped in, we wanted our reception there. The staff was truly amazing on our wedding day. Nancy was a joy to work with and was so well organized throughout the whole process. She answered all our questions in a timely manner. Highly recommend the Union Club. We wish we could do it all again!
Nancy at The Union Club is a dream to work with throughout the wedding planning.
We LOVE the Union Club and Nancy Zaroogian, the catering sales manager, who made our "re-planning" wedding process so amazing and enjoyable! Our wedding was rescheduled from August 2020 to February 13, 2021. We moved our reception to the Union Club for our new wedding date and it was the best decision we could have made! From the moment we walked through looking for a new venue, we knew it was going to be The Union Club. Even during covid uncertainty, this venue went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was special and memorable. This venue was truly unforgettable from the beautiful exterior and interior, to the amazing team of staff they had working that night, to the delicious food and wine. Our food tasting beforehand is still one of our favorite days! We owe our perfect wedding day to this venue. We can't thank Nancy from The Union Club enough for helping us create such a special day, and for being there that night to make sure it ran smoothly. We felt so comfortable and welcomed at The Union Club throughout this whole process. We received countless comments that night as well as afterwards in which our guests were raving about how beautiful The Union Club was. It is truly a unique venue and one I would recommend over and over again. James and I can't wait to hopefully go back for another wedding one day soon. We love it there!
Wow is the only word that comes to mind we I relive my wedding in my head. I am still in awe about how perfect everything was. Nancy and the staff at the Union club made our dream a reality. The building is incredible, the service is amazing & our reception was the most beautiful reception I have ever been to and not saying that because it was my wedding, it really was. I am so grateful to have made the decision to have our reception at the union club.
The Union Club is a first-class business/social club in Cleveland, and our wedding reception was exactly that. Having the entire building as your venue is an experience unique to the Cleveland market. The Catering Sales Manager, Nancy, made the planning process effortless and straightforward. Nancy is a true professional, which translates down to the service provided by the Union Club staff. The chairs, linens, tableware, glassware, flatware, etc., included in your package are of the highest quality. The food was fantastic, which is prepared on-site by a Certified Master Chef. Not having to worry about third party rentals or outside catering was very important to us. The Union Club is a one stop shop, which made the planning process that much easier. This is the best venue in all of Cleveland. Thank you to all the Union Club staff for making our day perfect! Brian and Cara 9.26.20
First this is the second wedding my husband and I have enjoyed at the Union Club, our younger daughter was married here 4 years ago. We had such a wonderful experience then that when my other daughter wanted to be married at the Union Club we were very comfortable with the decision. Nancy Zaroogian is a wonderful person to work with, always returning calls, makes suggestions as needed and asked, She truly makes everything run smoothly! My daughter was married in the wedge wood room which was absolutely beautiful and photographed wonderfully! The building itself is gorgeous and historic . We had an opportunity to book rooms on the 4th floor which was so convenient especially when your guests include grandparents who may want to relax between events during the day or evening. The staff of the union club are excellent our guests were well cared for and the food was delicious . Thank you if I had another child I would certainly return!!!
Gorgeous wedding venue and OUTSTANDING service. Nancy Zaroogian was an absolute dream to work with, answering all of my questions in a timely manner and seeing to every detail to make sure our big day was perfect. The venue itself was stunning, we held our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner and reception all at The Union Club and it was like a scene out of Downtown Abbey. Our guests are still raving about how gorgeous the venue was and how elegant and special the evening was. Nancy made the process turn key and worked beautifully with our vendors. The food and wine was outstanding, the best I've ever had at a special event (we had beef tenderloin, lobster tail and stuffed chicken as entrees and I heard rave reviews about all three). The venue felt grand and regal and very, very special. I could not recommend Nancy, her staff, and this venue more for your special day. It was a dream come true to host our wedding at The Union Club, thank you for making me feel like a princess!
This is hands-down, without question, the best wedding venue in Cleveland. I cannot sufficiently emphasize in this brief review how absolutely perfect everything was for our big day. The Union Club itself is one of the most beautiful buildings in Ohio - a real hidden gem in Cleveland. The building is regal, is sure to impress your guests, and is a wonderful setting for some great photos.
In our opinion, though, it is The Union Club's staff that truly makes the place great. The Club staff were all professional, courteous, and attentive to us and our guests and took care of every need. Cocktail hour included butler-passed hors d'oeuvres, and staff ensured each guest got to try each option. Dinner service was proper and well-timed - every meal came out hot. The food was nothing short of amazing - unsurprising as the kitchen is directed by a certified master chef. Our guests were extremely complimentary - nobody had a single complaint about their meals. Every dietary restriction was heeded - even our vegan guests were super happy with their meals.
Every special request we had was honored. Everything we asked for was accomplished. Many guests commented to us that this was the best wedding reception they had ever been to - we feel we owe much of that to the diligence and professionalism of the Club's amazing staff.
A true rockstar among the Club's staff is Nancy Zaroogian, the Club's wedding/event coordinator. She was responsive, accommodating, courteous, and extremely helpful throughout the whole year-plus that we were planning our wedding. She was an amazing resource and we feel we could not have had such an incredible day without her assistance. She offered insight and suggestions that aided in our planning, and honored all of our requests.
Between the beautiful Club itself, the amazing food, the wonderful staff and service, the excellent bar, and the fantastic Nancy Zaroogian...The Union Club is the finest wedding venue we could have asked for, was money very well spent, and we wouldn't recommend any other place to host your big day!
The Union Club is so beautiful and elegant - a wonderful place for our daughter's wedding! Nancy is a treasure - she is absolutely great to work with, very organized and responsive, and has such a caring and understanding way of helping with all the details of planning! The entire staff was incredibly helpful and caring to every guest there during the reception. We also received so many wonderful comments from our family and friends about how delicious the food was! It is a beautiful place, and was a wonderful day for everyone!
Our wedding at the Union Club was incredible, and I cannot find words adequate to express just how wonderful Nancy Zaroogian and her staff are.
From the very beginning, Nancy was organized, responsive and incredibly knowledgable about not only the venue but wedding planning in general. I did not have a planner, and Nancy patiently answered every question and offered guidance when needed. I work in events, and Nancy is hands down the best venue contact I have ever worked with. If I lived in Cleveland I would try to plan every event with her at the UC!
Everything about the Union Club itself was fantastic. From the servers to the receptionist to the maintenance staff, every single person we encountered was kind, attentive and dedicated. They made us feel incredibly special while allowing us to not worry about a single thing.
The Union Club’s wedding packages are inclusive, conducive to stress-free planning, and worth every single penny. The food and service are incredible, and they were flexible and open to reasonable adjustments without adding upcharges for every single request. I cannot stress enough how wonderful the experience was and how pleased we were with our wedding. We are still receiving compliments months later. Thank you to Nancy and the Union Club staff for taking such wonderful care of us. We are forever grateful.
Thank you to the Union Club for a magical wedding we will never forget! Nancy and her team were professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with throughout the planning process. Every room in the club is gorgeous, and it was wonderful to be able to use multiple rooms throughout the evening for our wedding. Service was impeccable and food was amazing. We could not have imagined our wedding at any other venue. You will not be disappointed!
We recently had our daughter’s wedding at the Union Club. It was magical! The staff was excellent. Nancy Zaroogian, the wedding coordinator is amazing to work with! I felt at ease and was able to enjoy the wedding knowing that Nancy had everything under control!
I'm so sad it's over!
The Union Club is an absolutely magical wedding venue. They have top-notch service, facilities, and all of the above. Nancy is a delight to work with and is so helpful. She is friendly, informative, honest, and amazing. My husband and I were very involved with every step of the planning process and as a result had an abundance of questions at all times (particularly him...) which Nancy always answered thoroughly and with kindness.
Nancy and The Union Club's staff go so far above any beyond, especially in special touches for the bride and groom.
The food is top-notch and the chef is so talented. I have never had better food at a wedding (and so say our guests!) but probably because other wedding venues don't have such a top-of-the-line chef. Because it is a private club, the Union Club functions as a very high-end restaurant every day which sets it apart from many other venues. There are no caterers to bring in and no doubts about the quality of the food.
I have nothing but praise for the Union Club and particularly their staff, and I am jealous of those of you who still have your magical day ahead of you at the Union Club!
My wedding at the Union Club was an absolute dream! My priorities in a venue were having privacy, a gorgeous ballroom, and top notch service for our guests. We found this all and more with this venue. Compared to other downtown venues in Cleveland, the Union Club is unique in that we were the only wedding the entire weekend. The club was only open for our use and I didn't have to worry about running into guests from another wedding or my guests running into another bride! Knowing that the venue was purely focused on our wedding that night gave me a lot of peace of mind. Second, if you haven't stepped foot inside the Union Club, you will be blown away by the beauty of the space. The stunning staircases were beautiful for my professional pictures and also for my guests own photo-ops. The ballroom was exactly what we were looking for in terms of elegance and size. Most of all, the service was impeccable. The catering manager, Nancy, was a joy to work with. She truly made our wedding so special and run smoothly, and she has a wealth of knowledge on wedding logistics. Her staff made sure that my groom and I had food and drinks and got special attention throughout the night. Everyone from the ladies at the front desk, to the gentlemen at the valet, to the servers and bartenders delivered exceptional and thoughtful service. The Union Club truly made my wedding extra special and more wonderful than I ever imagined. I can't thank them enough!
The Union Club was an amazing venue for my daughter’s wedding! From the first moment she and her fiancé saw the ballroom, they knew it was perfect for their wedding. From the planning process to the beautiful wedding, every step was handled seamlessly. The cocktail hour on the first floor was wonderful and the ballroom for the reception was truly breathtaking. We have received so many compliments on the food and service from our guests. From the valet to the waitstaff and bartenders to amazing Nancy, the catering manager, everyone was professional and so interested in pleasing us and our guests. It was so nice to have the day room upstairs to get ready and freshen up! I would do it all again in a heartbeat!
The staff at the Union Club is wonderful and the service impeccable. First impressions matter; when we entered the elevator on the day of the wedding, there was a schedule of events on one wall and rotating photos of the bride & groom on the other. Our guests were quick to note that the food was terrific and several noted how friendly they found the staff.
The Union Club is absolutely MAGICAL! We couldn't have picked a better venue for our Christmas themed wedding. Just form seeing pictures online, my husband and I knew that The Union Club would be a perfect venue for us. However, just to be sure, we checked out 10 different venues in the Cleveland area which just further confirmed that The Union Club was the best fit; nothing else even came close in comparison. On our big day, everything ran so smoothly! Nancy made sure that our vision came true that day. The entire reception was absolutely flawless! This was not a surprise, since Nancy was so quick to answer any questions or concerns we had throughout the entire planning process. In addition, the staff, including the servers and bartenders were so friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing, thanks to the Master Chef!!! Many of our guests commented that it was the best steak that they had ever tasted. We had over 200 guests and the food was served to perfection to each and every guest. Everything was served hot and delicious. We also had a cheese display which was above and beyond our expectations! The cheese selection was so unique and the display was absolutely beautiful! We could not have been happier with our decision with choosing The Union Club to host our special day!!
Talk about the most magical, elegant, fairy tale, truly extraordinary, undeniably the most beautiful place in the city of Cleveland the Union Club is what would pop up!! Now if you are talking about where to get the best food in the city of Cleveland where their is a Certified Master Chef hmmm guess what? It would be the Union Club again! Food is one of the most important things to me at a wedding and it doesn't get any better then this! We had 211 guests all of our food was delivered hot and cooked to perfection!! The lobster was amazing!! The filet was cooked to absolute perfection! I have never heard so many compliments before on food at a wedding. People were saying it was the best steak they have ever had. Better then the top steakhouses around town! Presentation was amazing. The appetizers were fantastic and the cheese display we had he knocked it out of the park! People were blown away by the taste, abundance and beauty of this display! Thank you so much chef you truly are a Master! I now can see the difference between a Master chef and chef!! Amazing.
Nancy and her staff of employees were phenomenal! Nancy made sure that everything was perfect. She made the fairy tale come to life. She was kind and helpful whenever I had a question. She even answered an e-mail while on vacation. Her response time to any questions was immediate. Thank You Nancy for making for a perfect day! All of our guests were so amazed by the beauty of the Union Club they didn't want to leave. They were walking around in awe! This is by far the best place in the city to have a wedding at!! Thank you Union Club and everyone on staff for making the best day in my daughter and new son-in-laws life! PERFECTION!! I can't say enough how amazing it all was.
From the moment we met Nancy Zaroogian, we knew we were in good hands. Her detailed professionalism combined with the stunning beauty of the Union Club made my daughter's wedding perfect. To say that Nancy went above and beyond is an understatement. While she was taking a much-needed vacation, the CDC recalled romaine lettuce, which we had planned to serve at the reception--and had already printed up menu cards saying so. Although she was in California, Nancy continued to communicate with us and the whole issue was flawlessly and gracefully resolved. The day of the wedding, the staff was extremely helpful to all of us. The day-of rooms we used were all beautiful. The ballroom was stunning. It was a memorable reception, and we are grateful to Nancy and her staff for working so hard to make everything perfect. From the bartenders to the wait staff to the valets, everyone is extremely gracious and professional. I highly, highly recommend The Union Club.
This is truly the most beautiful venue downtown Cleveland has to offer. The Union Club does an exceptional job from start to finish, and with you every step of the way through your planning. The wedding coordinator, Nancy, made it a stress-free process for me, was always helpful with reminders, details, and SO quick to answer my very many emails. Cocktail hour on the main floor was also a great way for the guests to enjoy the atmosphere of the club. The chef was phenomenal - the plating and presentation of the food was very impressive. So many of our guests raved about what a beautiful and unique venue it was. Can't recommend it enough!!
The Union Club was the perfect spot for our wedding. Nancy was amazing to work with. She responded to each and every email, offered great suggestions, and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Our friends and family loved the staff, food, and overall atmosphere. I would truly recommend The Union Club to anyone who asks.
Words cannot describe how perfect our wedding day was. The Union Club itself is a magical place and undeniably beautiful, but truly the best part is their employees. From the very start of my wedding planning process, Nancy was amazing. She was there to guide us through EVERYTHING in the process. If I ever had a question, concern or was just looking for advice she got back to me within an hour (or even minutes). I knew right away that working with her would ease any stress I had the day of and my wedding day would be perfect. Her and her staff will make sure everything you want it taken care of. From the building, staff and the food every wedding guest I had was in awe. This truly is a 5 star venue.
Truly, this place was extraordinary. Not only is the venue the most gorgeous historic building in the land, but the food is amazing, and the service team is a group of seasoned professional. But, probably the most important selling point of The Union Club is event coordinator Nancy. I can't imagine having gotten married without Nancy! She thought of everything, the flow was perfect, she was organized, communicative, easy to work with and a joy to be around. The Union Club Cleveland so greatly surpassed my expectations. Thank you for the perfect wedding.
The historic Union Club of Cleveland is the most elegant setting for a wedding reception in Cleveland. The staff is so accommodating, with impeccable attention to every little detail. The cuisine prepared by the club’s Master Chef is exquisite. Our daughter’s Friday evening reception there was, in a word, perfect! In every way!
Perfect does not begin to explain this venue. The building itself is stunning inside with multiple rooms to choose from and enjoy the ambience of. The staff helping us were all so friendly and genuine. They made me feel,as the bride, so at ease while they handled all the details. Nancy, helped us through every single thing and was so patient with us and our busy schedules leading up to the big day too. Wow. If you have any reservations about booking this venue I urge you to not. I am blown away and I know many others at the wedding were just as in awe at the whole evening as I was. Just so perfect! Thanks Union Club!
The Union Club was AMAZING all around. Nancy was such a delight to work with and helped make our wedding planning as seamless and stress free as possible. It is such a beautiful location that are guests are still talking about. We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding day.
Nancy, her staff, the venue....ALL are first class! This was the best wedding I've ever been to and it was my daughter's! How many weddings have you been to where the food was just OK? At The Union Club, it's five star fantastic! Nancy is like having your very own wedding planner. She makes sure everything is perfect. My wife, my daughter and our entire family all were blown away!
We had our daughters wedding at the Union Club a week ago. Our daughter was married on the marble staircase with cocktails & the reception following. The guests had so many good things to say. A week later & we are still receiving emails, texts & phone calls about how great it was.
The Union Club is rich in elegance & history. The staff from the valet to the servers were impressive in taking care of us & our guests. But the best is Nancy Zaroogian the events manager, from the first tour to the day of the wedding Nancy took care of everything. She was prompt, informative & very professional whenever we emailed or called. The day of the Wedding she guided us through the timeline with ease.
The food prepared by their chef was amazing. The was a Wow event, First Class all the way.
My husband and I could not have been happier with our wedding reception at the Union Club! The atmosphere is so elegant and fun at the same time. Working with Nancy was amazing - she is so experienced, professional, and organized and just makes the whole process so easy. The entire staff was incredible and took care of every guest's needs so that we didn't have to worry about anything. The food was delicious and the drinks were great too! We had a blast and so did our family and friends!
Our wedding day was flawless. Honestly, everything ran on schedule with Nancy Zaroogian and Katie Foulds from Kirkbrides coordinating it. Nancy made sure I was comfortable and was truly sincere in making sure that I was happy with how the day was moving along. The food was excellent, still receiving compliments. They know how to prepare food for large guest counts. No reports of cold food, the presentations were all beautiful.
The service staff was excellent. I was married on the gorgeous marble staircase. Guests said the ceremony was breathtaking. We had a few children who didn't want to sit, so they were able to stand above the staircase and view the ceremony. This was also excellent for guests who don't like to sit. Its a venue that can accommodate all guests. We had a live musician playing and the acoustics were perfect. Even if you had recorded music I think it would be wonderful.
We used the library and a room next to the library for the after ceremony portion for guests to mingle, have cocktails and appetizers. Again raves about the food. The guests and my husband and I were able to move freely between both with no problem. We again had a live musician and the sound was perfect. The library was so beautiful we did not need any extra decorations except votives around the seating card table. This helped with the budget.
The ballroom was stunning. Even without the decorations the woodwork is gorgeous on its own. The chairs are new and perfect for all types of decor. I didn't have to rent chairs which again allowed me to use money other places. The dance floor was perfect size. There is enough room outside of the ballroom for children and guests to step away from the noise and there is a nice couch for them. Ladies, they have a gorgeous mirror on the ballroom floor that I can not wait to see the photos of. You feel regal looking at yourself in it. It was one of my favorite spots in the venue.
There is a wonderful front desk staff who many of my guests spoke to about one need or another. All said, Sandra, was wonderful. I spoke with her at the end of the night and she was truly genuine.
Parking is not an issue. I initially was concerned but they handled it beautifully with the valet. No complaints from anyone. It was very efficient.
There are rooms on the 4th floor for brides, their wedding party and family to use. This was excellent as it provided a space for children (with adult supervision) who needed to relax and watch TV while parents were downstairs enjoying the wedding.
In all this is a beautiful venue and I don't think anyone would be disappointed with choosing it. Nancy and her staff know how to seamlessly coordinate weddings and events. I only had 5 months to plan my wedding, and to me that was impressive to not have a single worry or misstep on the day of the wedding.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Nancy at the Union Club. She is very professional, thinks of everything before you can and makes wonderful suggestions. The Union Club also has an excellent list of vendors that have been at the Club before and do a great job. Our reception was fabulous, from the atmosphere, to the food and drink, to all the staff going out of their way to make the evening perfect, for the bride and groom, parents and guests. I would highly recommend having an event at the Union Club.
Every member of the Union Club staff was professional, caring, and determined to help us have a wonderful reception. I had great confidence that all the details were being handled and working with the very capable staff kept me stress free. Our guests loved the elegance of the Union Club and the beautiful ballroom. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional! We are so happy we chose the Union Club for our reception and I highly recommend it!
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our daughter's wedding. The stately and beautiful Union Club set just the right tone for a formal wedding. The cocktail hour food, bar service and ambiance were perfect. The dinner selections were incredible and you could tell that the UC has 2 Master Chefs. The assistance we got from Nancy and all of the staff was top notch. Not a single detail was missed! We also had the wedding party stay the night in the rooms, which made for a wonderful gathering for them at the end of the night. It was the most wonderful party we could have imagined!
It is hard to put into words how amazing our wedding experience was at the Union Club Cleveland. Every aspect from the wedding planning stage to the wedding day was seamless. The staff and venue are splendid and we received countless compliments from our guests about the superb service, food, and venue itself.
Nancy the event coordinator at the Club is truly one of a kind. She is sweet, helpful, professional, prompt, and fun! Nancy answered every one of my emails that same day, usually within minutes. She helped to ease all of my wedding stresses and consistently made me feel comfortable and excited about our wedding day.
You will not regret holding your wedding at the Union Club. Is is an exquisite venue is impeccable service.
The Union Club is definitely a hidden treasure in downtown Cleveland. My husband and I had the pleasure of hosting our daughter’s wedding here. The Union Club exceeded our expectations in professionalism and treating us and our guests with such respect and professionalism. The real seller of the Union Club is the event coordinator Nancy, she is absolutely wonderful.
We searched for wedding venues in the Cleveland area last fall for quite a while, then walked into The Union Club. I was in awe! the wood and stonework is incredible! Steeped in tradition, it's roots go back to the Industrial Age of the 1800's. Nancy is great to work with and always had everything under control. The menu is large and flexible, but be sure to include a Filet. Many of our guests said it was the best they'd ever had! All of the other meals got great reviews, as well. The hotel staff members were very accommodating. The bartenders were definitely the best ever: any time they saw me or my bride, they'd be over with a fresh drink so we could keep mingling. We had a blast and our guests absolutely gushed about it!
Our wedding reception at The Union Club was perfect in every way! The entire club, especially the ballroom is so elegant and absolutely beautiful. It genuinely took my breath away when I saw everything come together on our wedding night! Nancy Zaroogian was amazing to work with, so organized, easy to reach, and made the entire planning process incredibly easy and stress free. I never felt the need to worry about anything as I knew Nancy (and her entire team) were on it! We received countless compliments from our guests, not only on how stunning the space was, but how wonderful the food was, and the impeccable service. We also loved having the option of the day room to get ready in- it was the perfect space for my bridesmaids and I to relax and get ready on the morning of the wedding. I can not say enough positive things about the Union Club, Nancy and the entire staff!
Words can't begin to describe how magical our wedding day was. Professionally, I manage large projects and a wedding is a LARGE project. I couldn't have chosen a better partner than the Union Club. Their accommodations, professionalism, punctuality and can-do attitude made working with each member of the staff such a great experience. I felt all my questions were answered promptly and with professionalism.
This is the perfect location for a traditional , elegant wedding. The food was superb, the location did not need much decoration as the stateliness was felt in each space. The day of was a seamless operations and while the staff was ever-present, they were in the background in a good way.
The value to the the cost was a great value.
We are truly so thankful for the venue and got so many compliments on the "feel" and "orderliness" of our wedding. We cannot say thank you enough for making our wedding so magical.
Nancy and her team at The Union Club exceeded all expectations. I honestly could not have imagined a better wedding experience. Not only was Nancy extremely professional and easy to work with, she was ALWAYS available to answer questions and quell any concerns. Menu tasting and the final walk-through were two of my favorite parts of planning - we had such a great time and felt so welcomed by the staff. Nancy kept us so organized and on top of everything - I never felt nervous about forgetting any details. I cannot thank Nancy and the The Union Club enough, you truly made our wedding magical!
We couldn't be happier with our daughter's wedding experience, The Union Club venue and the help we received from Nancy Zaroogian! It was truly a magical weekend....starting with our weekend rental of The Union Club's fourth floor sleeping rooms for the bride and all of her bridesmaids. It was so fun that we could all be together after the rehearsal dinner and wake up the next morning to our make-up and hair artists and photographers. The photos that you can capture both pre-wedding and post-wedding at The Union Club are unbelievable (both inside and outside). Our photographers (Marc and Tony) were amazing. They really know how to capture the love and beauty of a wedding day! We had cocktails and appetizers on the first floor of The Union Club, which ended up being fabulous (Bar/Grill Room/Library Room)...very traditional, yet unique, venues that all wove together with our quartet's music piped into all three adjoining rooms! After the cocktail reception we adjourned to the formal reception, which was held in the breathtaking 3rd floor ballroom. We had 235 people attend...it was a little tight on the dance floor, but certainly doable! The atmosphere was gorgeous thanks to The Union Club's set-up and attention to every detail. They also allowed us to bring in our own pastries/cookies/candies for a dessert bar, in addition to the wedding cake. We had that beautifully displayed out in the hallway/entrance to the ballroom along with the bar, high-tops, coffee station, guest registry and favor tables. It all looked beautiful! Our florist was Blooms by Plantscaping and they did an exquisite job and our DJ was from The Cleveland Music Group. Our DJ was fantastic; I would definitely use him again! The food was fabulous, too! We received so many compliments about everything! Thanks to The Union Club for making our daughter's wedding day so very, very special! Karen and Dan Tuleta
our daughter's wedding reception was recently held at the Union Club and I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience we had with Nancy Z. and her fine staff.
Guests are still remarking on the incredible food, comfortable atmosphere and attentive staff!
The Union Club was a dream. It was exactly what I wanted - vintage glam. So many compliments on the beauty of the space from our guests. We had a blast renting out the guest rooms to have a big sleepover the night before and wake up and get ready the next morning. The staff was so attentive. They were accommodating with our signature drinks, bringing in outside desserts, and having a alcoholic favor, which I know some venues aren't. We didn't have to clean up everything the night of which was SO nice (just had to by the next morning/early afternoon).
The Union Club was the most spectacular venue for our daughter's wedding - it was breathtaking! The food and service were impeccable. Nancy, the Catering Manager, was wonderful to work with and so detail oriented. She promptly responded to any requests or questions we had. Her and her staff did not miss a beat. The bridesmaids stayed at The Union Club the night before the wedding, and it was wonderful. A room was provided at no charge the day of the wedding for the bridal party to get ready. Tamera was fabulous to work with for the overnight accommodations. I could go on and on about the extraordinary venue, but I just want to thank the entire staff for all they did to make our daughter's wedding reception so perfect. Our guests raved about the beautiful venue and the food.
Where do I begin? I really can't say enough good things about our wedding reception at the Union Club. The real star of the show is Nancy, the catering sales manager. She is so organized and thorough, which made the planning process a dream. She was very responsive and always had answers to my mom and I's many questions. She definitely helped ensure the day went as smoothly as possible.
The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and had so much charm and history. The marble staircase is a real showstopper and makes for a beautiful entrance. In addition, the food was delicious (we had several people tell us it was the best steak they've ever had at a wedding).
All in all, I would definitely recommend the Union Club for any wedding.
Fabulous. Nancy and her team are a dream to work with. So many guests told us it was the best wedding they've ever been to. The food and service were phenomenal. The Union Club is THE place to get married in Cleveland.
My daughter and son-in-law had an idea of what they had in mind for their wedding venue, and once we visited The Union Club we all knew that we had found the perfect spot! Without a doubt, The Union Club is the most elegant and enchanting wedding venue in the Cleveland area. Nancy Zaroogian, the catering manager, is fabulous! She is professional, kind, caring and definitely knows her stuff! She was always available to answer questions, and guide us in the right direction. The entire staff at the Union Club including Nancy, Linda (the beverage manager), the front desk, housekeeping, etc. were the most professional and courteous people I have ever worked with! Every room in The Union Club is just gorgeous! From the carpet to the tall windows, the exquisite wood work, fireplaces, the grand staircase, the decor- absolutely gorgeous! The service and food was top notch. The food was delicious, and the presentation was perfect. Attention was given to our vegetarian and vegan guests to be certain that their food was as appealing as the main dinner option. The staff serving the dining room was in tune with all the guests needs, and seemed to anticipate needs. In fact, my dinner was covered to remain warm while I spoke to guests several times, without me even asking. The Union Club supplied a room for the bridal party to get ready the day of, provided full size mirrors, high chairs for make-up, a table and chairs for lunch, again, without me having to ask. I would highly recommend The Union Club for its elegance, charm, excellent quality food and service. The Union Club and the staff truly made the day magical!
The Union Club is the most elegant and enchanting wedding venue in the Cleveland area. From the minute my daughter and I walked into the Union Club we knew it had the ambiance we were looking for. Its old world charm is amazing and perfect for a formal classic wedding! Once we met Nancy Zaroogian, the catering manager, we definitely knew it was the venue for us. Nancy is fabulous! She is extremely professional, kind, caring and enjoyable to be with. She became a friend that looked out for all of our needs. She was always available to answer questions, offer recommendations and guide us throughout decision making process. The day of the wedding Nancy was there making sure everything was perfect. The entire staff at the Union Club including Nancy, Linda (the beverage manager), the front desk, housekeeping, servers, bartenders, valets and management provided superior service! They were professional, kind, courteous and continuously went out of their way to be sure everything was the way we wanted it. The cocktail hour and reception exceeded my expectations. Every room in the Union Club is exquisite and the ballroom offers gorgeous woodwork, a dramatic high ceiling, chandeliers, large windows with beautiful draperies and a spacious dance floor. When I walked into the reception that evening the room looked magical. The service and food was top notch. My guests raved about everything! The food was not only delicious, but beautifully plated and the staff was accommodating to specialty desserts we had brought in. The fact the club was exclusively reserved for our event was also very important to me. My family and extended family stayed at the Union Club using their guest rooms. It felt like our home for the weekend. The comfortable seating and tables in the wide hallway on the guest room floor offered plenty of room to relax and enjoy each other’s company. The rooms were clean and very comfortable and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. The Union Club supplied a room for the bridal party to get ready the day of which was perfect. There is no doubt if I were to do it again I would choose the Union Club for its elegance, charm, excellent quality food and service. The Union Club and the staff truly made my daughter’s wedding a day to remember!
If I were to do it all over again I wouldn't think twice about having our reception at the Union Club.
The space was elegant and enchanting, the staff was attentive and personable, the bartenders catered to my husband and I making sure we were taken care of throughout the night and Nancy was nothing less than AMAZING.
Planning a wedding remotely from NYC was difficult at time but Nancy went above and beyond, making planning as easy as possible and the evening exceeded all of our expectations. We received countless compliments on the service and the attention to detail and we couldn't have done it without Nancy - thank you SO much to the Union Club for making our wedding day so memorable!
I cannot thank Nancy and the staff at the Union Club enough for making our day so special. From start to finish their professionalism and attention to detail made planning easy and so enjoyable. Highly recommend!
