About

BAYarts is a museum wedding venue located in Bay Village, Ohio. Here, couples can hold their special wedding celebration in the historic Fuller House with support provided by on-site event staff and caterers. This venue accommodates ceremonies and receptions as well as engagement parties and wedding showers. With indoor and both covered and uncovered outdoor event spaces, couples can choose the perfect setting for their once-in-a-lifetime occasion.

Facilities and Capacity

The Irene Lawrence Fuller House not only boasts pleasing structural design but possesses an interesting past as well. Constructed in 1892, it was relocated to its current home in 1984 via a barge over Lake Erie, fleeing its impending demolition plans. This momentous journey made international headlines and established a landmark at the Bayarts campus. After its restoration in 2010, it became the cultural center and art institution that it is today. The Fuller House features Victorian-style architecture, two attached gazebos, and a wrap-around porch. The decor of BAYarts complements weddings with humble yet refined themes. Handmade and upcycled furnishings throughout the venue affect a vintage-inspired atmosphere, perfect for modern and traditional wedding concepts alike. The spacious property provides a picturesque backdrop for outdoor celebrations. Couples can opt to set up their event around the Norfolk and Western Railroad Company caboose, a popular point of interest of the venue. Wedding guests are sure to enjoy the lush gardens across the grounds and views of the nearby Metroparks. Guest parking is also available on location.

Gorgeous and Open Space for Small Wedding

This venue was a dream come true! I wanted a small, backyard feel wedding, and my wife wanted an artsy space, and BAYarts fit the vibe perfectly. Kelly was the event coordinator and she was super helpful with answering my questions. The best part about the venue is that all the furniture is supplied. We hired a day-of coordinator who did all of the work for us so we were able to drop off our decorations and car keys and she set up and tore down everything for us. We did no cleaning after the reception. One downside I will say, however, is that the venue is pretty public, so for most of the day strangers were walking in and viewing the gallery or using the bathroom, but that was only up until dinner. Over all, BAYarts was perfect, and all of our guests loved the venue.

Amazing wedding venue

Bay arts was such a perfect wedding venue. I loved how we could have the ceremony and reception at the same place. The big wrap around porch was the perfect touch to the outdoor wedding. Lauren organized everything for us and she was fabulous! She made everything so easy for us leading up to the wedding and on the actual wedding day. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone getting married. We had the most magical experience.

Magical and beautiful Venue

Fuller house was everything that I could have wished for. 2020 has been a very difficult year and plans have changed so much. I wanted an outdoor/indoor venue with a lot of space. This was beyond perfect. The house is gorgeous with a stage for a band and so much character. I brought very little decor because it already had a great feel to it. Lauren was wonderful to work with. Very fast communication and made everything run so smoothly. I recommend hiring their wedding planner Chelsea because Chelsea and Lauren work so well together. I didn’t have to worry about anything, they made the night run perfect. I cannot say enough good things about Fuller house. You can’t go wrong for a beautiful venue on the westside of Cleveland.
