About this venue
Historic Onesto Event Center is an upscale wedding venue located in Canton, Ohio. The 12-story hotel was originally built in 1930 by the hotelier Francis A. Onesto, and it was the premier destination for travelers to Canton. After standing empty for 35 years, the building was lovingly renovated in 2014 and reopened as a venue and loft apartments. The property now combines the best of old-world charm and elegance with modern and convenient amenities. It welcomes couples into its event spaces to celebrate the most romantic day of their lives surrounded by luxury.
Facilities and Capacity
Upon entering the Historic Onesto Event Center, visitors will first ascend the Travertine marble staircase to the impressive lobby. This breathtaking entranceway boasts terrazzo flooring, marble walls and benches, American walnut woodwork, large windows, and cathedral ceilings with Italian Renaissance ornamental relief. Complete with a bar and seating area, this beautiful hall is ideal for socializing with guests, enjoying cake, and hosting a cocktail hour. From here, guests will find the Grand Ballroom, which features maple and mahogany hardwood floors and a sparkling chandelier. Accommodating up to 250 guests for dinner and dancing, this room is ideal for celebrations both large and small. For ceremonies, couples are welcome to use the Old Stone Chapel, situated just down the street. This stunning chapel is replete with marble walkways, stained glass windows, vaulted ceilings, and polished stone floors.
Services Offered
Packages at the Historic Onesto Event Center include a pre-tour meeting during which a wedding planner will sit down with couples to discuss their visions. During this consultation, the coordinator will review budgets, traditions, and expectations for the big day. Afterward, the soon-to-be-newlyweds can tour the storied facility, while the wedding planner will make vendor recommendations and help organize the event. Unlike other venues, this center does not need much in the way of décor, as it comes with chic and ornate accents already built in. A ceremony rehearsal will be provided, and on the day of, the staff will manage guest arrivals and coordinate pickup and dropoff times with vendors. Their goal is to create an experience where the newlyweds can savor their joyful, relaxing, and stress-free day of love.

Reviews of Historic Onesto Event Center
Amazing!!!! 5 stars
The BEST Choice
From our first tour of the venue to our wedding day Lynae, Jerrica, and Heidi put us at ease and simplified everything along the way. We toured different venues but the Onesto staff is in a league of their own- their professionalism, accommodating and flexible personalities, ability to jump in and assist when needed, and all hands on deck attitude is what separates them from the rest. They went above and beyond to help us on our wedding day! Heidi saved our first dance, Jerrica decorated our wedding cake with flowers SO beautifully, and Lynae even pinned boutonnières and helped with flowers. I could go on and on about why this team is so fabulous! Rest assured you will have the most beautiful wedding day with these ladies by your side!
We are so happy with our choice and would choose the Onesto & Old Stone over and over again in a heartbeat!
The most amazing experience!
Historic and Romantic Venue
We also rented both rooms they offer to get ready in and the beauty and size of the rooms is hard to describe. Our makeup artists, hair stylists, photographers and videographer couldn’t believe how much space we had to move around and get ready. It made the day so stress-free being able to just chill at the venue and have everyone (including the groom and groomsmen) on site. The rooms are uniquely placed so that it’s almost difficult to run into each other at any point while getting ready. We also chose to stay in one of the rooms the night of the wedding which was awesome. My girls and I stayed the night before the wedding and it was so fun to have the space to finish up anything we needed. Ok enough about the rooms and back to the actual wedding…
The venue is so beautiful on its own that very little is needed for the ceremony and cocktail hour decor. Guests walk in to a pretty stairwell and enter into the lobby which has ornate ceilings that make you just feel the history of the building immediately. The ballroom is a good size for plenty of tables and a large dance floor. Now onto the staff…
I can’t say enough about how awesome the staff here was to us. When we met the month before the wedding if I hadn’t thought of something, they had. It is clear when you meet with them that they know what they’re doing. They are so on top of everything and help make sure your day goes exactly as you worked so hard to plan. They aren’t your wedding planner or coordinator, but they do help a lot where it’s needed and appropriate for them to help!
I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful indoor venue with a little history. I felt like it was the perfect romantic setting for our wedding and if I had to do it all over, I wouldn’t change a thing!
