Great Place for a Wedding/Reception!

My husband and I are from California but decided to get married in October 2024 in Northeastern Ohio. Our reception was held at the Bertram Inn and Conference Center - what a wonderful place to hold our event!

Trying to coordinate my wedding/reception from over 2,000 miles away was challenging but working with Alex Shaffer-Rondinella and her team made the whole process easy and enjoyable. Throughout the many months of planning, Alex was professional, friendly, patient, knowledgeable, answered my many questions and always got back to my right away. She went out of her way to accommodate any request that I had, if it was at all possible to do so. Everything I asked for was taken care of. The ballroom where our event was held looked gorgeous; the wedding cake was more beautiful than I could have imagined and everyone who attending had a wonderful time.

My husband and I are thrilled at how our reception/after party turned out. Honestly, everyone should be lucky enough to work with Alex and her team at the Bertram - they're fantastic! I can't say enough good things about my experience and if there was a way to give Alex and her team a 6+ star review, I would.

Such an Amazing and Accomodating Venue!

Such an AMAZING venue! Everything was perfect! Alex, our coordinator, was amazing! The food was amazing! The cake was stunning and delicious! The wait staff and bartenders were super friendly! Its easy to dress up this venue and make it your own. We have had so many people that attended our wedding tell us that it was the most fun they have had at a wedding and the most beautiful wedding they have seen. This venue is such a great value and is completely full service. You really don't have to worry about anything but music, décor, and what you're wearing.. I can't recommend them enough! I hope we get to attend another wedding at this venue!

Magical Evening!

We had a very large wedding reception with 300 guests at The Bertram and it was amazing!! Everyone spoke highly of how beautiful everything was, as well as good food and drinks. Our coordinator Alex and the GM Frank worked well with our wedding Planner Maria from Elegant Events by Maria to make sure everything went smooth and ran on time. An amazing evening from beginning to from end.

We chose the Bertram because we knew how much of a phenomenal job they do. My sister had her reception in the main building years ago and we had ours in the Annex. Wonderful work by Alex and her team. It was a beautiful day and the team did an amazing job preparing everything for our wedding. The food was delicious and they way they decorated the annex was just beautiful. Hotel accommodations and brunch the next morning were great! Would definitely recommend the Bertram to anyone for their event!

I just had my wedding reception at the bertram inn a couple days ago, and I would highly, highly recommend it to other brides looking for a classy, beautiful venue. Brenda, the on-site coordinator, is amazing. She has been doing this job for 20 plus years, and her knowledge clearly shows. Everything was flawless. They work with you and try to do whatever they can to make the day special go go smoothly. They are so accommodating and attentive. Food was also incredible. The guests all raved about it!

The Bertram saved our wedding! We had to change reception venue 1 week prior to our wedding date do to unforeseen issues and the Bertram came to the rescue. Everything was flawless - from the decorations, rebooking the guest rooms, the food, atmosphere, etc- we believe this was a huge blessing in disguise. The staff was incredible to work with. We cant thank you enough for saving what could have been a disasterous day!

I would highly recommend this venue to any future bride and groom!

Although The Bertram is on the more expensive side of venues it is well worth the price. You get a professional wedding coordinator that helps you with everything happening there. (I suppose this is especially helpful if you have both your ceremony and reception there - although I did not do that). We worked with Brenda during my planning process and she was so helpful and accommodating. She did a great job helping us plan our reception. The staff at the Bertram did a fantastic job executing everything. They set up my centerpieces exactly how they were in the picture I sent and executed every detail. Everything looked perfect and I could not have imagined anything more perfect! Thank you so much Brenda and Bertram staff.

**We also stayed in their Getaway Cottage for the beginning of our honeymoon and highly recommend it! It is so beautiful and cozy!

WeOur wedding was completely perfect! The Bertram wedding coordinators were so accommodating and easy to work with. The price included pretty much everything so there isn't much more stress or money going elsewhere in your wedding. The food and service was amazing and the room was beautiful. Seriously amazing!

The Bertram Inn and Conference Center is one of the most beautiful and accommodating wedding venues in Northeast Ohio. Their wedding staff provides personalized service to brides, and their wedding coordinator goes above and beyond in every way to make sure every aspect of the wedding planning, and the wedding itself, runs smoothly. The Bertram's bridal tastings and their annual bridal event are truly among the best I've seen. The acoustics in every ballroom, atrium and foyer are optimal for string musicians, and sound carries beautifully throughout the bright, open spaces, even without a microphone. I fully endorse this elegant and beautiful wedding venue and its top-notch staff for the perfect wedding or special event. Celestial Strings: Roseann Canfora, Harpist.

After photographing at the Bertram Inn this summer, I can't say enough great things about the venue. The venue is beautiful and the staff does an amazing job with everything from decor to making sure all of the wedding day logistics are taken care of so that everything runs smoothly for the bride. I'd highly recommend this venue if you're in the Northeast Ohio area!
