The House of Blues and all of their members were amazing, they were there for us every time we had a question or concern. My wife and I could not have

The House of Blues and the staff are amazing. From the planning to the food to every small detail they were so helpful and attentive. Haley and her staff are phenomenal and made our wedding the one everyone who attended the one to talk about. Bravo House of Blues!

The House of Blues was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding. We were looking for a setting that was smaller, intimate and required as little work as possible. Although the House of Blues offers a larger option in the main hall, we opted for the Cambridge Room which seats about 100 people. We had both our ceremony and reception in this room. The room (and the entire venue) is so beautiful and unique on it's own, it required little work to make it perfect. Jen, was my point of contact throughout the planning process and replied promptly whenever I had questions. The House of Blues handles the lighting, food, tables, ect. so all we brought in were flowers, and some light decor to make it personal. The day of the wedding, Jen and Mel took care of everything. Set up, coordinating with the other vendors, everything. Also, Terry was like our own personal assistant the entire night. She made sure the groom and I had time alone. She made sure we had drinks in our hand. She made sure we actually got to eat our meal when it was served. This was the most helpful touch I was not expecting but I was so grateful for.

I can't say enough about the people at house of blues. Jen was upfront from day one on costs and covered services and was essentially a built in wedding planner. Everything was taken care of so me, my husband and our families could relax and enjoy the night. Day of, Jen and Mel took care of every last detail and kept the night moving seamlessly. Our guests have been raving about the food and the location cannot be beat. The access to the foundation room was a major plus and provided an awesome backdrop for pictures that even our photographer was gushing about. Truly the perfect night!

Unique, fun reception spot! We loved absolutely everything about the House of Blues, from the responsive and accommodating staff to the colorful, unique décor. We wanted a venue that was a little different, and had our wedding for 180 people in the main music hall – a perfect spot because they do the lighting (no need for expensive up-lighting!) and the sound system makes the music and dancing like you're at a concert. The food/drink is great (coconut shrimp app is a must-try, and they can do signature drinks) and they have a lot of different options to choose from, and the décor is already set so you really don't need to decorate. They have lots of other really cool spaces for smaller groups 50-100 as well. It's also right downtown on East 4th, so lots of options for nearby hotels (we had guests stay at The Arcade across the street) and after-parties. Everyone was complimenting us on how awesome the space was. And, summer is actually their OFF-season – so renting the space was cheaper than usual! Also, don't hesitate to ask if you want something – for instance, they ordered pomegranate juice for my signature cocktail even though they don't regularly have it at the bar.

One thing to note – the only chairs they have for the larger main music hall space are metal black folding chairs. We didn't like the look of those for a wedding, so we had to rent chairs. A lot of the photos show chiavari chairs but just know those are going to cost extra from a third-party.

The team at the House of Blues was beyond amazing to work with! They helped us take our wedding day from an image in our minds to better than we ever could have imagined. They were prompt with answering any and all questions. Their assistance in helping our wedding day run smoothly was seamless, despite another wedding happening that same day. We barely knew they were there. I cannot convey how incredibly amazing this team of people were. We were absolutely blown away.

I was not a traditional bride, so the HOB really lured me in with their funky vibe but I knew I had made the right decision after we begun really delving into the wedding planning. The HOB Cleveland was an absolute dream to work with. The staff and their coordinator made my wedding a dream come true. The night of my wedding I literally did not have to do a thing, the staff came and got me for the cake cutting, speeches etc and I could flit about the room knowing everything was going as planned.

On top of the awesomeness of the venue and its staff the food was fantastic. I very much enjoyed my tasting and loved every single thing we ended up serving!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception in the Cambridge Room at House of Blues and cannot say enough about what a great venue HOB was, how amazing the staff was, and how great the food was. Simply put - You will have the best night of your life!! In fact, our family and friends are still talking about it!!

The Cambridge Room is beautiful and provides a lot of ambiance that banquet halls and country clubs cannot provide. The huge fireplace, cool décor on the ceiling and the great bar really make it a great space.

We had a great experience working with Rachel, who managed all of the details. She is highly organized and extremely helpful. I cannot say enough great things about her. Every detail is cared for by either Rachel or a HOB staff member. You won’t have to worry about a thing. Rachel will contact your vendors prior to the wedding; she and her staff will take care of setting up all of your “day of” accessories too. I just had to drop them off. Also, there was no cleanup for us after the reception was over – HOB did it all!!

We were also extremely impressed at what a great job everyone at HOB did switching the Cambridge Room from ceremony to reception. Done in less than 1 hour and looked perfect!!
Last, the food at HOB is AWESOME – your guests will not leave hungry!! A menu was provided to us as our starting place, but HOB is very flexible. We added a chilled seafood bar for cocktail hour, for example. Huge hit! We also added jambalaya served family style as an extra side for our guests. Also a huge hit!! You will have a tasting which was a lot of fun and extremely helpful in planning the menu.

I could go on and on. HOB is an amazing venue for your wedding ceremony and reception!!!

What I really wanted from a venue was a laid back planning process and a stress free day. House of Blues definitely delivered that. At first glance, their prices might seem a bit high, but you have to consider that you contribute NOTHING more. They really have it all and everything is included! Once you think about how much it would cost to decorate a plain venue, rent things like table linens and chair covers, and spend your wedding day setting all that up....well House of Blues will easily be your first choice. The event planner, Rachel, is so friendly, attentive and will cater to whatever style you like. I was surprised the planning, payment, etc was so easy and fun.

Plus, the day of your wedding, you can hang out with Terry upstairs in the Foundation Room! Terry took the best care of me the day of: poured me wine, carried my flowers, brought me aspirin and water, kept us all on schedule, calmed my nerves. She also poured drinks, moved furniture for the photographers, set up candles for us....I'm honestly not sure how she accomplished everything! Mel and Rachel made sure we had a beautiful, fun evening and arranged pickup of all wedding stuff with our family while we were on our honeymoon.

Our guests had a blast! Our friends still talk about the day and how unique it was, how delicious the food was (jalapeno cornbread and filets were a hit), and how much fun they had.

If you're looking for an effortless, gorgeous wedding that everyone will love and talk about, choose the House of Blues. The food is amazing, the staff is fantastic and, let's be honest, you can get married at the House of Blues!!! You will feel special and stress free, as you should - it's your day. Do it, you'll love it.

I cannot brag enough about this venue and its wonderful staff that made our wedding an absolute dream. The House of Blues was caring, thorough, prepared and most importantly a great deal. They handled everything. Literally everything. When one starts to plan their wedding there are so many small moving parts that make up the reception. The House of Blues took care of everything small that made our wedding day so easy. Rachel, the House of Blues coordinator, and Mel, the House of Blues operations planner, are sterling examples of professionals. They had constant communication with us through out the entire process. They make you feel important and that they want the day to be as big of a hit as you do. It was perfect. I cannot say enough about these two individuals along with the staff that helped make our day so amazing.

Now on to the actually structure itself. Our wedding reception was a dream come true. If you are a true music fan, then getting the opportunity to through your own personal wedding 'concert' at a venue like the HOB is something torn from a wedding magazine. The house sound and lighting system was used during our cocktail hour, dinner hour, and of course dancing. It sounded like the artists were performing to our party. The lighting was amazing and the everything looked perfect. The venue is so cool to begin with and then to add in our portions of the wedding paraphernalia made it personal enough to make it seem like we had decorated the entire two floors of the venue. The table and seating arrangements were expertly set and then finally the food. Geez. The food was great. We wanted great tasting food and they delivered. We had to plan our wedding from a far, four hours away, and they were great at giving suggestions and helping us make our day excellent.

They put out everything that we requested and did everything we could have dreamed of to make our day great. We highly recommend the House of Blues and its staff.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
