Wedding to remember

We had our wedding here last week (2.24.24) and I cannot thank the staff enough. I knew when we started wedding planning that I wanted a warehouse vibe and Lake Affect Studios was the first place we actually went to look at and I fell in love. From the beautiful lighting fixtures, the bar, gorgeous wood floors, windows, private wedding party space and the separate ceremony area I knew I wanted to have my wedding and reception here. (Even the bathrooms took my breath away.) I loved that they offered tables and chairs and it allowed me to be creative with my diy vision. Throughout wedding planning, Amanda and Stefanie were so helpful in making my dreams come to life. On actual wedding day everything was absolutely flawless and I was blown away in every possible way. The bartenders were so nice and we got so many compliments on the service and how gorgeous the space was. I will recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for an alternative to the classic ballroom type wedding. It was everything I wanted and more. Thank you so much. - Rachel & Pete

Amazing space!

We are so grateful that we chose Lake Affect as our wedding venue! The beautiful old wooden floors alongside the modern touches gave this loft a fun industrial feel. The two rooms are perfect so that guests can move effortlessly from the ceremony to the cocktail hour. The entire experience was perfect!

Great reception venue!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Lake Affect Studios. It was a small event with less than 80 people but the space felt filled and looked beautiful. Stefanie, the venue coordinator, was a wonder to work with. She handled communication with the vendors and even gave us advice during set up. I highly recommend LAS for a wedding reception or other party!
