The Parlour- A CoLab Concepts Venue - Lakewood, Ohio

Had my bridal shower at The CoLab and it was perfect! We went with the all inclusive option and it made planning a breeze. All we had to worry about was alcohol and desserts, Maureen and her team handled the rest. Everything turned out exactly how I envisioned it and Maureen was always quick to answer any questions I had. It was also nice that the catering team they partner with for the all inclusive was able to accommodate my dairy allergy, to make sure there were options for me to eat. Definitely recommend using them for your next event!

My husband Forrest & I discovered The CoLab shortly after we got engaged about a year and a half ago. In just one meeting with Maureen, we knew that she was who we wanted to work with to plan our wedding.

The CoLab is a beautiful venue with two distinct and stunning sides (The CoLab and The Lounge) that were perfect for the grand but small wedding we envisioned. Maureen is so great with details, event choreography, and an eye for aesthetics, but more than all of that: even just in our first meeting, we could tell she understood how personal planning a wedding is, and she brought a personal touch to the entire process. It was like planning a wedding with a friend (a REALLY talented friend).

Maureen explained that we could have as much of a hands on or hands off approach as we’d like and she fully embraced our VERY hands on approach (I’m SUPER detail oriented). She made every idea we had come to life and gave wonderful suggestions to enhance and support our vision throughout. Our planning sessions never felt like they had a clock, and in all of our emails, we felt so celebrated by Maureen. She wasn’t just hosting our wedding at The CoLab, she wasn’t even just planning it with us, she was excited for it with us from Day One. All people of any race, sexuality, identity, or creed are welcome and CELEBRATED at The CoLab!!!

When our big day came, Maureen thought of everything: there was an industrial-grade streamer ready to go, mouthwash, tissues, and every other detail a couple could need for their big day. Every detail of our plan was carried out to the T and the whole day was a genuine dream.

My husband and I sincerely can’t imagine going through the wedding planning process with anyone else and we couldn’t wish up a better space than the CoLab for our grand but small (24 guest) wedding. If you’re unsure of where you’ll feel welcome, look no further. If you’re unsure of what the best place would be, look no further. If you’re getting married or planning any sort of 30ish-guest-count event, look no further than The CoLab and the chance to work with Maureen <3

I'm an event planner and found The Parlour for a client to host their baby shower! It was such a smooth process and a beautiful venue! We were able to transform the space to meet our vision and their guests ranted and raved about the space. We were very happy with our choice and the owner Maureen was a pleasure to work with!

If I could give The CoLab 10 stars I absolutely would. I am so happy I chose not only this beautifully curated space but wonderful owner, Maureen to plan the most special day of my life. Maureen was engaged and cared every step of the way to make my vision come to life. She took her time ensuring that each detail was not left unnoticed and that my guests felt cared for the entire day. I loved the space when I saw it, but it was Maureen’s energy that sealed it for us. She genuinely showed us that our day was equally as important to her as it is to us. I could write a book about my beautiful day but I will end with the best choice I made for my wedding was The CoLab.

We hosted a bridal shower at the perfectly appointed CoLab. Great location and space. We loved the flexibility of choosing our own catering options and mixing in homemade items. The CoLab team was great to work with! Especially when I encountered a little snafu when locking up when our event ended.

We hosted my daughter’s baby shower at Biographie Studio. The space was beautiful and Maureen and her team were so patient and accommodating. I would host an event here again in a heartbeat.

The venue was absolutely beautiful! Maureen and Megan were amazing to work with. I highly recommend renting out The CoLab!

My husband and I rented The CoLab for our small intimate baby shower. We received so many compliments about how gorgeous the space was.

Our shower couldn’t have turned out any more perfect. Thanks to the CoLab & Maureen!
