The Venues - Toledo, Ohio

My husband and I had our wedding reception here last month and I cannot recommend the Venues enough. The reception was absolutely perfect. The staff was great to work with. Throughout the process everyone at the Venues was very responsive. Being able to rent things directly from the Venues was extremely helpful. The space is incredible. We loved the exposed brick and industrial feel. If you use this for you wedding, make sure to see the space in the back to take photos. The spot made for some really unique photos. The space is a blank canvas that you can turn into your style very easily. The bar space is huge and great for guests who want to mingle and chat rather than dance or sit at their tables. One thing to be aware of is that you need to bring in all your own vendors the day of. We loved this because we were able to make everything our own; however, you need to get everything out by 11:30 pm the night of the event. I HIGHLY recommend hiring a wedding coordinator if you have your wedding here. We hired April of Your Perfect Day LLC (she is amazing) and with her help we were easily able to get out by 11:30 without our families having to un-decorate. Highly recommend the Venues if you are looking for a unique wedding space you can make your own!

Weddings at The Venues are always so cool! We've photographed several weddings here over the years and love the natural light coming in through the windows, the clean industrial vibe and the space out back to take epic photos among the half-decrepit building. Our couples especially love that they can make the space theres!

My husband and I cannot say enough amazing things about our recent wedding at The Venues! The building is gorgeous and full of history. We loved the industrial and artsy vibe! We are still receiving many compliments from our guests about how beautiful our wedding was. The staff at The Venues were incredibly helpful throughout the planning process and their communication is very timely! The Venues is the perfect space for a wedding!

This Toledo wedding venue is absolutely stunning! Right off the highway, this space is convenient and a total blank slate. I love how it can be transformed and the fact you can choose your own caterer and other wedding vendors. If you're looking for a neutral and industrial wedding venue, check out The Venues!

The Venues was AMAZING, they went above and beyond for Spencer, and I’s big day! We had a different venue booked for September, and as COVID-19 started to ramp up, and had no apparent end. We decided since all of our contracts with the various vendors were written before COVID-19 (and had no verbiage about if the world was to stop from a global pandemic) that our best bet was to cancel as soon as possible and try to get back as much of our money we invested into our September wedding. Luckily we canceled before we started losing our deposits on a lot of the vendors. Like most of us, we had canceled so much this year, canceling our wedding was one of the most heartbreaking things we had to do. So we decided that wed throw a two-parter wedding.

~ Part ONE ~ we would have a smaller ceremony with our close friends and family (so we could still get married this year and at least have something amazing out of all of this).

~ Part Two ~ Throw an even bigger reception with a vowel renewal ceremony before those who couldn’t make it this year.

Fast forward to after our wedding and,

“Part One” was even better than what we think our wedding in September would’ve been. Working with Angie @ The Venues, we were able to design our wedding from start to finish (in four weeks). This not only helped with the cost, but overall, everything turned out perfect, and we didn’t have to settle on what the boring options other places had to offer. The building itself is laid out just perfectly. The interior is an excellent blend of modern and rustic feeling to bring some character and class to whatever event you throw. Suppose you are looking for a completely customizable, dream wedding. This is the place to go. It might seem like a little more work upfront, but it is all worth it.

But don’t worry, between the teams at The Venues, and Great Lake Rentals will make it as easy as possible for you. We planned our wedding (with help from our lovely moms and wedding party) from 5 hours away from Toledo, in less than four weeks there at The Venues. And there is not a thing I would’ve changed about our ceremony/social hour we hosted there.

My husband and I just had our wedding at The Venues this past weekend and we can’t say enough good things about our experience working with them or our wedding. Every member of their staff is so kind, friendly and accommodating from the inquiry start to end of wedding day!

We believe a wedding at The Venues is a different experience compared to other weddings just based on what the building has to offer and our guests agreed as well. We were able to have our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner and stay there for the weekend which as a stressed out bride, being able to stay in the same place and have your guests come to you was such a plus. Each room has its own different yet cohesive aesthetic and it’s so gorgeous on its own you don’t have to do much to it to dress the rooms up, you’re really just adding your vision and creative touch. They’re so encouraging in making your wedding your own too which we struggled finding venues that allowed for reasonable creativity until finding The Venues. One example of which, my husband had a huge vision on having the ceremony seating being a half circle (why? Who knows lol) and although they’d never had the lay out we were wanting before, they happily figured it out and executed our vision perfectly.

Thank you to the whole team at The Venues for making our wedding perfect!!! You’re in the best hands with booking them!

This place is amazing! The way they’ve preserved the soul of the building but modernized it, is unparalleled. I met the owners and they really have their hearts in what they’re doing! I was shown the next phase of what’s to come and this place is only going to get better. Thanks again for the tour!
