Corina helped make our wedding morning/ceremony amazing

Corina made our wedding morning/ceremony extremely easy. She was always quick to reply to an email or a phone call. She would check in periodically throughout the year leading up to the big day to see if we needed anything or could answer any questions for us. We requested an adult only ceremony and when we had family members insist on still bringing their children, we informed Corina and she took care of this informing us that she would politely handle the situation if it were to occur. She is absolutely amazing at her job and we were very pleased to work with her to create our perfect day!

A Cleveland Dream Come True

Five Stars Are Not Enough for Lago Custom Events!

From start to finish, our experience with Lago Custom Events was nothing short of phenomenal. Planning any event can be overwhelming, but the team at Lago made it not only easy but genuinely enjoyable. Their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail exceeded all expectations—and the end result was an unforgettable event that our guests are still raving about.

A special shout-out to Jordan and Aubrey, who were truly the heartbeat of the entire experience. From the first consultation to the final moments of our event, they were responsive, thoughtful, and incredibly organized. They listened to every idea, answered every question (even the ones we didn’t know we had), and made expert recommendations that took our event to the next level. It’s clear they both care deeply about their work and about delivering an exceptional experience for their clients.

Jordan and Aubrey are a duo powerhouse—always one step ahead, ensuring no detail was overlooked. Whether it was timelines, layout logistics, or vendor coordination, they kept everything running smoothly and made sure we were confident and informed every step of the way. Their calm demeanor and proactive communication made them an anchor throughout the planning process.

Their collaboration with us brought incredible warmth and creativity. Their eye for design and flow was evident in every aspect of the event—from the beautiful table settings to the overall ambiance. Lago Custom events brought our vision to life in ways we didn’t even think possible. And on the day of the event, both of them were everywhere—making sure everything was flawless and every guest felt welcomed and cared for.

And let’s talk about the food—WOW. The catering was exceptional. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the flavors and quality—Lago clearly takes pride in their culinary offerings just as much as their event planning.

In short, Lago Custom Events is world-class. They offer the kind of service you dream of when planning a big event: organized, elegant, seamless, and personalized. If you’re looking for a team that will make your event not only successful but unforgettable, look no further than Lago—and make sure Jordan and Aubrey are by your side. We are beyond grateful! A & A

Wedding Caterer

Staff was professional and attentive, from the coordinators to the servers. Food was incredible, and everyone’s meals were cooked perfectly. People couldn’t believe the food was catered and not cooked on site. Overall quality and service were amazing, would highly recommend.

Diana DeJesus helped us plan our perfect day

Diana DeJesus was an absolute DREAM to work with. From the moment we met her we knew we would be in great hands. Diana went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding ran as smoothly as possible. She thought of EVERYTHING and I mean everything. Diana was not just a venue coordinator, she treated us like family and literally filled in all of the blanks. She understood our vision and went to great lengths to make it happen!! I couldn’t be more grateful for Diana and the rest of the staff at Lago events. Our guests just keep raving about how it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Diana focused on small details as well as big picture and it really makes a difference. From creating small signage for everything I forgot, to adding a bar by the elevators so no one would wait for a drink, to keeping things running smoothly, and her wonderful energy, she was wonderful. I would recommend her and Lago to ANYONE!!! Also, Chef Fabio had incredible food and helped us design the perfect menu to incorporate special foods we wanted to highlight. If you aren’t sure, this is your sign to hire Lago and HIRE DIANA!!!!! The BEST!

The best day thanks to Corina and the Lago Team!

Having our wedding at Lago was the best wedding planning decision we made! Corina, one of the wedding planners, was an absolute pleasure to work with and made our lives soooo much easier during the wedding planning process; I definitely would not have stayed sane without her! All we had to do was show pictures and explain the kind of vibe we were going for and Corina and the Lago team brought it to life. They were also extremely accommodating day of when the weather tried to force us to use our back up plans, but thankfully, Corina let us make the final decision and trusted our judgement. We continue to have guests tell us our beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food was. It was the best day and we have Lago to thank for that!

The Best Day and BEST Experience

When you read this review, I want you to take it seriously. Book your appointment and go tour. Don’t wait. This vendor has been amazing to work with. We worked with Mike at first, to be honest Lago was our second choice and we booked another venue. That venue dropped the ball and with less than 6 months until our wedding I called Mike and he got us on the books within 48 hours. Lago should have been our first and only option from day 1. We met with Mike and Diana, who was new at the time to go over our design ideas and to do our tasting. Everything was flawless from day 1.

Diana was who we ended up being assigned to. At first I was nervous because she was new, but let me sing her praises for a bit. I have never felt so confident leaving a review. Diana went above and beyond for us. I was a nervous bride, I thought I wasn’t prepared and I was freaking out. Diana would calm my nerves and reassure me that we were right on schedule. She responded to each of my calls and texts with professionalism and urgency. She never left me waiting for answers.

The day of, she handled everything. I mean everything. Between handling the decorations and day of things, she made sure to check in with my husband, myself, and our parents multiple times during our reception. I never even had a chance to finish a drink before it was replaced with a fresh one😂. She was ON TOP OF IT. The place was decorated beautifully and everything was just perfect. I couldn’t recommend Lago and Diana enough!

An added perk: pictures on the rooftop penthouse turned our phenomenal.

Professional Team, Incredible Event!

I cannot say enough good things about Diana and the Lago Events team. My best friend had her wedding reception at Lago in October 2021 and since I am an event professional in Arizona, I helped out during the planning process (along with being a bridesmaid.) From the moment we pulled up to Lago 2 days before the wedding to drop-off the bride's things, I could tell Diana was a pro. She was prepared with the timeline, floor plan, and all of the final little details that go into a wedding. Diana helped navigate a few stressful situations with patience and an overwhelming desire to accommodate various requests.

I knew going into the day of the wedding that every detail would be handled. This took so much pressure off the bride and myself. We were able to enjoy the day and not worry about set-up at the venue. The end result was an absolutely stunning cocktail hour and reception. (Book this place for the rooftop alone!!) The reception itself ran very smooth, from the grand entrances, to dinner service, to the last dance. The servers and bartenders were attentive and handled the large party with ease.

My only wish is that Diana lived out in Arizona so that I could add her to my team. You will be in great hands at Lago with her managing your event.
