The Union Club was the perfect venue for our daughter’s wedding, and we could not be happier with our experience. Even a month later, we are still receiving compliments from guests...
about how beautiful and seamless the entire day was.
The venue is absolutely stunning—spacious yet intimate—with gorgeous rooms that allowed us to host the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing all in one location. Despite a snowy December wedding, the club felt warm, elegant, and never crowded. The location in Playhouse Square was incredibly convenient for out-of-town guests, and the valet and attached parking garage made arrival and departure easy and comfortable.
The staff truly went above and beyond. Sarah, the wedding coordinator, was organized, responsive, and a joy to work with, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the wedding day, the entire team was attentive, professional, and friendly. From bartenders to waitstaff, service was exceptional—and one especially kind moment involved staff personally helping an elderly guest get safely back to their hotel during a snow squall.
The food was outstanding from start to finish—delicious appetizers, a perfectly executed main course, and late-night snacks that guests loved. Everything was served promptly and exactly as we remembered from the tasting.
The Union Club exceeded our expectations in every way and allowed us to truly enjoy the moment. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for an elegant, full-service wedding venue with exceptional staff.

We could not be happier with our choice of the Union Club for our September 2025 wedding. The Union Club is a one-of-a kind, timeless and elegant venue that received so many compli...
ments from our guests. We especially enjoyed the beautiful foyer and marble staircase, multiple rooms for cocktail hour, and elegant ballroom for the reception. Working with the Union Club's coordinator, Sarah, was seamless, and I was thoroughly impressed with her organization and attention to detail from start to finish. She was incredibly responsive, communicative and professional and put my mind at ease throughout the entire planning process. All in all, we are thrilled that we chose the Union Club for our wedding reception and would recommend that couples consider this venue for a memorable and timeless wedding day.

fessionalism and organization of both the club and even more so the event coordinator Sarah. She is an unbelievably reliable and detail-oriented asset to the club and the entire planning experience. She did not miss a beat in helping to orchestrate our day in the way we dreamt up. Every guest complimented the service, the beautiful building and various rooms, and how smoothly things were running throughout the entire evening. The quick responsiveness and clarity in responses made everything run so smoothly. We cannot recommend the union club enough to execute a beautiful wedding day!! They certainly made our day one we will never forget, and we could not be more grateful.

Being right in downtown Cleveland was also a huge plus. It was incredibly convenient and close to so many great hotels, which made things easy for our out-of-town guests.
We couldn’t imagine a better place to celebrate our wedding and are so grateful to the Union Club team for making it such a memorable day. Highly recommend to any couple considering this venue.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ond, 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!

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!

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 da...
y. 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!

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!

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 m...
ore 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 plan...
ning 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 event...

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 Unio...
n 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!!

u 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 you...
r 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!!
