Onesto Event Center - Canton, Ohio

As a wedding and event planner, the Onesto is one of my very favorite venues to work with. Not only is it absolutely beautiful, but my clients always really appreciate how much is included in the rental fee.

The staff is proactive, helpful and lovely to work with; the catering and bar staff are a well-oiled machine; the in-house catering is professional and delicious; and the building is always spotlessly clean. It's always at the top of my list when recommending venues in Canton!

Words cannot describe how perfect our wedding was at The Onesto. From the first time we stepped into the building we were blown away by the beauty and elegance that it offered. We were shown around the building by Lynae who was fantastic and told us more about the history and told us everything the venue offered wedding wise. We never felt any pressure from her and she was so upfront and honest with us. After booking we became acquainted with Jerrica, the event manager, who helped us in so many ways. Her expertise and attention to detail is second to none. She was instrumental in helping us plan the wedding of our dreams and was such a joy to work with. She answered every question we had along the way and made all of our request happen. The whole Onesto team took us in and made us feel like family. We cannot recommend this venue enough and our guest are still raving about how incredible The Onesto is.

This past Saturday, April 9th, me and my wife officially tied the knot and celebrated the day at The Onesto and Oldstone Chapel. And it was amazing. The staff was amazing and kind and welcoming and never once did we feel like we were being rushed. We were well informed and taken care of during every aspect of the day from the beginning of the ceremony to the end of clean up the following day. Jerrica and Emily were both amazing along with the rest of the staff. You guys made our day that much more special and perfect and a day tory nor I will ever forget. Thank you so much!

I had the privilege of photographing a wedding at this beautiful venue. Fran, the director was involved with the planning and coordination every step of the way. The Historic Onesto is truly a hidden gem right in the heart of Canton. If you're looking for a gorgeous venue, I highly recommend the Onesto. There are so many photo locations, in and around the area, it truly is every photographer's dream.

I was an event caterer and bartender for a few years and LOVED working in the Onesto. The space is grand and beautiful, the bar pleasantly staffed and the memories indelible.

So many lovely couples had beautiful, almost fairytale perfect receptions there that I will always be envious of. What a grand way to kick off a life of loving committment.

We had our wedding at The Onesto on New Years Eve and it was honestly the best day of our lives! It truly was a dream come true. We had both our ceremony and reception there with cocktail hour being in the lobby while the room was flipped for the reception. The lobby was perfect for the amount of guests we had, roughly about 170. There was enough room for everyone to mingle and be at an arm's length. Our guests were in awe at how beautiful the room looked. The room flip was turned over in about an hour or so, and all I have to say is they definitely worked their magic! The staff who helped Jerrica, Heidi, Lynae are AMAZING!! The ballroom was everything I had envisioned. They let my Husband and I take a moment to see the room without everyone in it, it really let us soak in the moment and to praise how beautiful the room looked.

The venue is so beautiful and regal that very little is needed for the ceremony and lobby space for décor. I was fortunate enough to have the Christmas decorations up which amplified the space. The ballroom is a great size for plenty of tables, (had about 22) and a large dance floor. The placement of the second bar is near the lobby however it was perfect for our crowd. We had a lot of dancers and it gave them a little break to quickly grab a drink and come back to the dance floor. It also allowed guests to not feel like they were missing anything.

The Reception part was so smooth, the dinner buffet was quick and efficient. The bartenders were phenomenal, they were on it when it came to remembering guests drink orders. They were polite, fun, happy, everyone raved about the hospitality and the quality of it.

We rented both rooms they offer to get ready in, and it couldn't have been better for the size of our wedding parties (10 on each side!!!). Our makeup artists, hair stylists, photographers and videographer couldn’t believe how much space we had to move around and get ready. It really made their lives easier and helped create such a happy environment. The bliss suite has everything you can think of when it comes to providing food, the TV is built to hook up with Spotify/apple music which set the tone of the day. It made the day so stress-free being able to just chill at the venue and have everyone including the groom and groomsmen on site. The rooms are uniquely placed so that it’s almost difficult to run into each other at any point while getting ready. We also chose to stay in one of the rooms the night of the wedding which was so much fun! It really made you be in the moment and feel all the rush of emotions from the big day. We did all of our pictures onsite and we never saw any of the tenants who lived there. They are aware of an event going on and stay clear to be a bother.

I can’t stress enough how great the staff was. We met with Jerrica, Heidi, and Lynae a couple times before our wedding. They were one, beyond nice and polite, two made us feel so comfortable it felt as if we had known them forever, and three, they truly made us feel beyond special. They listened to our needs/wants when it came to the wedding and gave suggestions which was great because they are the experts at Weddings. If I had a quick question one of the three was there with an answer within a couple hours via text, email or phone call. They are so on top of everything and help make sure your day goes exactly as you planned. They stayed by my side through it all, they would come and check in on me while I was getting ready with the bridesmaids, they never missed a beat with our wedding timeline. They work so well as team to get whatever it is you need done to make your day perfect.

I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful indoor venue, with charm and spunk. You will feel like kings and queens with the hospitality. It truly was everything we wanted, romantic and overall stunning. Our guests left that wedding saying this was the most gorgeous wedding we have ever been to and wouldn't have changed a single thing about it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Working with the Onesto for our wedding was so stress free. Not only is the place absolutely stunning, but from our first meeting they were incredibly honest and straightforward about what was included, what wasn't, and how much everything cost. There were no hidden fees and nothing was an additional cost even though it was implied to be included previously. On top of that, everyone we worked with at the facility was so nice and genuinely wanted to help us put together an amazing ceremony and reception.

The Onesto is an Ohio hidden gem!! We looked at about 8 venues, and the Onesto was the very last one that we saw- and we fell in love with it right away!! It was better than all of the cleveland venues as the building is absolutely gorgeous, it has a hotel within walking distance for our out of town guests, the bridal/grooms suites day of are unmatchable, the location has tons to offer, the food/drinks were spectacular, and it even has a gorgeous chapel for the ceremony which most places do not have. I can go on and on talking about the building and all that it has to offer, but the people who run the Onesto make it stand out from other venues even more. They are the reason the day went so smoothly. They have so much passion and truly care about you and your day. It is something that did not go unnoticed and stands out tremendously.

This all inclusive venue makes the planning process that much less stressful. They walk through the process with you months before leading up to your big day. Lynnae and Heidi took time for me through texts, emails, and meeting in person to make sure the day was what we wanted. They were even hands on day of which was one of the best things. Talk about taking the stress off!

I can go on and on, but to wrap it up- this place and these people exceeded my husband and I's expectations by a long shot- our guests are still talking about our wedding saying is was one of the nicest and funnest ones they have been to (and our family/friends do not sugar coat things lol)!
