About
On WeddingWire since 2017
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.

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 275 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.
