    Amazing Space

    The Event Center was the perfect space for our cocktail wedding reception. Working with Whitney was such a joy. She went above and beyond. Highly recommended for the space, and the food!

    The perfect venue!

    We were so lucky that the Blarney was available on such short notice. It was the perfect size and location for us. The food, private bar, sound system, lighting, and the amazing staff added up to a perfect night. Whitney, the event coordinator, was so nice and responded to all of my questions and requests in a timely manner. She kept the night running smoothly for us so we didn’t have anything to worry about. The price and deposit are actually reasonable compared to any other wedding venue, and there are so many options for hors d’oeuvres, dinners, and late night snacks to choose from. We chose the create-your-own pasta bar for dinner and everyone loved it!

    Great venue

    This venue is great! They are very helpful and nice! I think the cost is truly amazing! The venue is beautiful and intimate. A great industrial rustic style that can really go with any wedding in my opinion! They make things so effortless and that’s exactly what you need when planning such a big day full of decisions! Highly recommend! So excited for our big day!

    Angie was absolutely fantastic!

    We met with Angie to check out the Blarney Event Center! She absolutely fantastic and answered all of our questions, even the ones we hadn’t thought of! I felt that was able to envision our day as if it was her own. She broke down all of the costs and explained everything in great detail — we are so excited for our big day at the Blarney!

    Thank you, Angie!

    Our Beautiful Wedding

    We got married in the Murray Room at The Blarney on August 1. The Blarney was the first venue we toured for our wedding and once we stepped into the Murray Room, we knew that was where we had to get married. The event coordinator, Whitney, was amazing throughout all the changes we had to make due to the pandemic. She was understanding, offered advice, and made the whole process less stressful.
    We held our ceremony and reception in this space. Whitney and her team setup all the tables and chairs for our ceremony, and then flipped the whole room around for the reception within a matter of minutes. The room is beautiful on its own, but we were able to decorate and pack it full of flowers to create our dream wedding. They brought in wine barrels for us to use as tables for our guest book and cake. They also supplied a unique welcome sign to put out front, so our guest knew which door to enter. Whitney was there for our entire event and even helped us with our ceremony & first dance music. We just cannot say enough good things about her.
    We requested Aaron as our bartender, and he was awesome. He interacted with our guests and everyone always had a drink in hand. The food was outstanding! Our guests are still talking about the food. We had mini charcuterie boards for each table. The main course was absolutely delicious: Corned Beef, Herb Crusted Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, & Green Beans. The chef brought out our plates first, explaining the dish and thanking us, and then our guests were served. It was a special moment that we will not forget. The chef also cut our cake for us and packed up the leftovers.
    We highly recommend reaching out to The Blarney if you are planning an event of any size. They are great people and helped make our dream become a reality. THANK YOU!!

    Our wedding

    The Blarney literally saved my wedding day. With the pandemic going on we had to postpone our reception that was going to be held at the event center. They allowed a postponement with absolutely no cost penalty. Instead of a reception we held a dinner for immediate family. The Blarney delivered food for our dinner all the way to Waterville, and it was absolutely delicious. Even though our reception didn’t take place yet, they allowed us to come in for photos which turned out beautiful! The space is gorgeous with great lighting for photos.

    The Blarney and Whitney came through on absolutely all fronts. I am amazed by their customer service, dedication to serve and positivity through all of this. They have won my heart and service for the rest of eternity!!! THANK YOU!

    Wonderful Service!

    We were attracted to the cozy atmosphere the Blarney had to offer. With the exposed brick and Edison lighting above the dance floor, we didn't have to do too much to achieve the industrial look we were going for for our wedding ceremony & reception. Everyone we worked with at the Blarney was extremely accommodating & helpful. Angie helped us with all the details while planning the event--seating, timing, decor ideas. She was even there the day of the wedding and took care of every detail! Our wedding cake was delivered with no decorations--Angie quickly stepped in and decorated the cake for us before the ceremony began. I had no idea this happened until the day after the wedding. Chef Joe was incredible! He was knowledgeable & respectable in regard to the diet restrictions. The food was delicious--not the typical catering food that comes to mind. It was cooked to perfection with a very nice presentation. Even the bar tenders were delightful & so much fun--Katie was amazing! We would highly recommend the Blarney Event Center time & time again!

    We are so glad we picked The Blarney for our ceremony and reception! It was the perfect size for what we were looking for, and several of our guests loved the venue and atmosphere. Angie was so easy to work with and made sure that every detail was covered, and Joe made sure that our food was exactly what we wanted. They're extremely flexible and accommodating. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

    As wedding professionals, we were looking for a medium sized reception hall for our wedding, and the Blarney was a PERFECT place for it. Our guests enjoyed the food, and everything about the night. The staff were super helpful throughout the whole night, and we very friendly! Angie helped us plan the whole thing quickly, and took care of us!! We would HIGHLY recommend The Blarney Event Center to anyone!

    Absolutely beautiful venue! Just added vases and floating candles to the tables for my wedding reception and the place was awesome! Plenty of room for all my guests and the garage doors being open was a bonus. The food was amazing and the whole downtown environment was energetic.

    Perfect Small Wedding Venue

    The Blarney Event Center was the perfect wedding venue for our reception of about 85 guests. I loved the look of the venue with the exposed brick as I didn't want a ballroom for our venue. Angie was very helpful through the entire planning process and the venue is very flexible in ensuring the event is perfect for you. We were allowed to see the venue when decorated for another event, they accommodated our special request for a special toast we had during the reception, and I appreciated that they gave us various options for the bar as I was worried the bill could get quite high. The chef is also very nice, willing to accommodate food allergies, and the food is much better than your average "wedding food." If you want an intimate, modern venue, then book the Blarney Event Center!

    The perfect sized venue in the heart of the hustle & bustle of downtown!
    The chef and his creations were nothing short of amazing! We did heavy apps all night instead of dinner and he really came through because everyone loved the food! He even did a nice little surprise for us at the reception!
    The bar setup is great. You can choose what you want served (and what you don’t!) The bartenders went above and beyond for us as well. Tip them well because they are totally worth it!
    We had a DJ & photo booth and it all fit well! We married in September so it was nice we had the option to open the bay doors but didnt need to. The fires outside on the patio were such a nice touch and our guests loved it!
    Oyr out of town guests loved how close it was to the Renaissance and our in town guests loved that there is a parking lot immediately behind the building.
    We cannot thank the Blarney event Center (and Angie!) enough for all they did for us!
    This is a true hidden gem of Toledo!

    Awesome venue for a wedding reception!

    The Blarney Event Center was the perfect downtown Toledo space for our winter wedding reception! The space is great on it's own without an any additional decoration (brick walls, wooden beams, pallet/light decorations, white lights) and if you incorporate additional decorations it enhances the space. We had 75-80 guests and chose to do a sweetheart table with the wedding party and guests at rounds, which gave a good balance for a dance floor. If we had anymore guests I would recommend banquet table seating to optimize space. The coordinator, Angie was great to work with and very responsive and the food was delicious! We were pleased with everything from the beginning, it was an easy process to book and plan our event.

    An Easy Wedding Planning Experience

    Angie and the Blarney Event Center team were so accommodating and helpful through out the planning process. They listened to our vision and made suggestions to fit it, like setting wine bottles out on our family style dinner tables for guests to serve themselves. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate which is just what we were looking for!

    Great place for wedding

    Everything went amazing from the first time we meant until after our wedding was over. Angie is awesome at what she does and is very well at responding back. The only problem we had was with our food. During our food tasting the pork chops were great, well for the wedding they were completely different for our guest, they were very thin and they weren't boneless. Other than the food mishap everything was perfect. Highly recommend!
