Hire CMA for your wedding!

CMA is one of the most beautiful places in Cleveland and we were so grateful to have had the opportunity to host our wedding there. It's photogenic already, so you don't need much decoration. I was incredibly impressed with the service we received from Bon Appetit catering, the food was every bit as good on the wedding day as it was during the tasting. Special call out to our event coordinator, Elizabeth Coughlin who was incredible and really helped us put our special day together. She is amazing to work with and pays close attention to details. Sadly, we were her last wedding with CMA, but I am sure you’re in good hands if you choose to have your wedding there. It was beautiful!

Fantastic experience at CMA

Our wedding experience at CMA in October 2018 was amazing from start to finish. There’s no venue more beautiful and the atrium felt intimate even with 110 guests. Food and drink were remarkably delicious, and the service was outstanding, from the banquet team to facilities. The best were Elizabeth, Jessica, and their events team colleagues, who made planning and all things day-of a breeze. We couldn’t be happier.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
