A perfect night!

There are so many good things I could say about Vell’s! They are a team of incredibly friendly and passionate people! The food is awesome! The venue is beautiful! The pricing is great! And they are very flexible with whatever dream you have for your wedding! Dee is great at communicating and responds quickly. She makes truly the best wedding cake I’ve ever had and she’s just so great to talk to! They have many options for the food and you can tell they take time to make sure everything is done perfectly. My husband and I are so happy we got to have our ceremony and reception at Vell’s, they make a very comfortable and beautiful environment for your big day! Choose Vell’s!

Best Wedding Venue!

The reason I’m giving Vell’s Event Center a 5-star review is that there simply isn’t an option to give them even more stars! My wife and I are beyond grateful that we chose Vell’s to host our wedding reception. Looking back on our experience, I can honestly say that if I tried to nitpick, I still wouldn’t be able to find a single complaint. From start to finish, Vell’s exceeded our expectations and played such a huge role in making our wedding day everything we could have hoped for and more.
From the very beginning, Vell’s stood out to us as the most organized venue, with the best communication and the most reasonable pricing. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Vell’s made the entire process feel so much more manageable. Working with Dee as our coordinator was a true blessing. She was incredibly helpful, organized, and attentive throughout the entire process, and we couldn’t have asked for someone better to help bring our vision to life. Her communication and willingness to help made such a difference and took so much of the stress out of planning.
As our wedding day approached, Vell’s consistently checked in with us each month and provided timely updates to ensure we always knew what to expect.
The day of the wedding can be stressful, but Vell’s made everything run so smoothly that we were able to focus on enjoying the moment rather than worrying about the details.
Everything came together beautifully! Our bridal party and family were also able to take pictures with us in the gazebo, surrounded by the beautiful landscaping, which made for some wonderful memories and pictures. The food was delicious, there was plenty of space for everyone to sit comfortably, and the overall setup was absolutely amazing.
We are so thankful for all the time, effort, and care Vell's put into making our wedding reception such a success.
If I had to do it all over again, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I would choose Vell’s Event Center every single time. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding venue without hesitation! I’ve already recommended Vell’s to multiple friends, and I genuinely hope they decide to have their weddings there so I can come back and enjoy another wedding at this amazing venue myself. Thank you to Dee and the entire Vell’s team for helping make our wedding day so special. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!

Exceptional Wedding Reception Experience at Vell’s Reception Hall

We hosted our daughter‘s wedding reception at Val‘s reception hall in Medina Ohio on August 29, 2026, and the experience was fantastic.

The venue was beautifully prepared, offering an elegant atmosphere that set the tone for a memorable evening.

The culinary service was particularly noteworthy. The roast beef was exceptionally tender, and the stuffed cabbage was perfectly seasoned and deeply flavorful.

The quality of the food was consistently praised by our guests, and contributed greatly to the enjoyment of the event.

The staff coordinated every aspect of the event with efficiency and courtesy, ensuring a seamless experience for our family and guests. The hall proved to be an outstanding venue, and we would confidently recommend the reception hall for your wedding or any formal celebration.






The quality of the food was constantly praised by our guests, and contributed greatly to the enjoyment of the event.

10/10 THE best event center! HIGHLY recommend!

Vell’s created the most memorable day of our lives! Dee and her family made our experience perfect! The process was underwhelming, clear, affordable, easy, and flexible. Dee is honest, upfront, and explains every detail for you. As a bride, it felt like I was able to handle all my wedding plans with ease and not have to lift a finger when it came to our reception. The food is amazing and I will forever dream about our meals. The halls there are so beautiful and hosted our huge family with ease. We did not have to look any further after meeting with Dee and her team. They took the best care of us for a great price and offered everything we needed nand more. 10/10 recommend Vell’s event center for your events!

Helpful, Delicious, Beautiful

My fiancé and I got so much for what we paid! I worked a lot with Dee, and she was great at keeping open communication and answering any questions we had. She was kind, helpful, and her and her husband, Vell, did an amazing job with our ceremony! The reception space was gorgeous. They did a lot of the set up, clean up, in house catering, desserts, and more. Out of all the venues and weddings we have been to in the past Vell's HANDS DOWN had the best food we've had. Our guests were raving over the buffet style setup and the food (especially the carved beef). They do have a bar, but we have to provide the alcohol. That's honestly fine with us and worked quite well! Dee even gave us a sheet giving an ideal amount of various wines and liquors for our wedding based on different guest counts. Dee also recommended hotels, a DJ, some photographers, and more when we had our first consultation. Working with Vells helped put a lot of my worries at ease. For anyone looking around the Medina area, I highly recommend checking out Vell's Event Center. It made our wedding so much more magically than we could have ever expected ❤️

For anyone curious of what we got for catering:
Water pitchers were at every table as well as bread and salad. The buffet for us consisted of pasta salad (my favorite), corn, mixed vegetables, baked chicken, pasta Alfredo, carved beef, and mashed potatoes. The desserts consisted of our cake (vanilla with raspberry filling and chocolate with chocolate filling), brownies, lady fingers, and cheesecake!

Wedding 5/16/2026 - The Shymske's!

My husband and I had our wedding reception on 5/16/2026 at Vell’s Event Center and we are beyond thankful that we went with them. We would choose them over and over again!!!! Dee and Vell are incredibly kind people, and they know how to smoothly put on a wedding – it was truly the best day ever! Dee and Vell go above and beyond!!!!! I can’t express enough how much they truly care about their guests. Unfortunately, you do not see this too much anymore, as a lot of times you are just another wedding. This is absolutely not the case here, and we could sense that from the start. They treat you like you are family here!
From the start when we reached out, Dee called us back within minutes and we set up a time to meet that week. She took time to walk us through the process, look at the venue, and answered all our questions we had. I tend to get stressed easily, but working with Dee made the wedding planning easy. There was no need for a wedding planner or day of coordinator. Anytime I had a question, she responded back immediately. She also gave us recommendations to other vendors in the area, and they all worked so well together as a team!
The food was very delicious. We had many of our guests come up to us afterwards and say that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. The staff works very hard to make everything come out perfect. Dee also accommodated for our guests that had dietary restrictions, which they greatly appreciated the thoughtfulness and time to do that. Dee also makes wedding cakes, which was so nice to have one less thing we needed to worry about. Our cake was beautiful and very tasty!
Dee is very attentive to detail and made sure everything was ready to go. They set up a lot of our decorations prior to the event and cleaned up everything afterwards – which we so much appreciated! The whole staff was friendly, and we all had a great time. It was all about the positive energy, and we had so many guests come up to us afterwards and say it was one of the top weddings they have been to. It is so nice to hear that, and we could not have done it without Dee, Vell, and the rest of the staff. Rob and I are forever thankful for them, and we will continue to brag about how awesome they are! If we could give over a 5 star we would!

Amazing Experience at Vell's Event Center

I would highly recommend Vell’s for a wedding reception! I worked personally with Dee for months to achieve the best day of my life. Her customer service is phenomenal. She is easy to reach for questions, responsive, and helpful every step of the way. The food is 10/10 and you also get a wonderful tasting experience! A huge number of my guests raved about the food. The desserts were also diverse and delicious. Dee’s husband was incredibly helpful with keeping the evening on track and answering questions related to bartending. They are an excellent pair. The venue is classy inside and out.

I have gorgeous gazebo photos which added to my wedding day substantially also. Dee was kind enough to accommodate us there as well. Overall the best venue experience I could have asked for and I highly recommend to all future brides!

It was a great event, Dee and Vell are wonderful to work with and the food was so delicious. The staff was kind and attentive and everyone was comfortable and made to feel welcome.
