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!

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!

Amazingly memorable. We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with a luncheon at Vell’s with 155 guests. We enjoyed it immensely and every one of our guests said they enjoyed the delicious food, warm atmosphere and beautiful facilities.

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.

Perfect wedding day

Outstanding. I’ve never received so many compliments on food in my life. The venue was BEAUTIFULLY decorated. They help with the timeline, the food, vendor recommendations, and allow you to provide your own alcohol to be served at the bar which saved so much money!!!!!!! I couldn’t recommend any where else. I decided to have my wedding in Cleveland specifically because Vell’s had the best deal I could find for an all inclusive wedding reception. Several guests told me this was the best wedding of the year!!!!!!

A Night to never forget

I recently held my wedding at Vells Event Center, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with beautifully designed halls that offer both elegance and versatility to fit any theme. The attention to detail in the decor and lighting created the perfect atmosphere for our special day.

Dee was a true gem throughout the entire process. She was incredibly helpful, ensuring every aspect of the wedding was set up and executed flawlessly. From coordinating timelines to troubleshooting last-minute details, Dee went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. The owner, Vell, was equally impressive with his flexibility and willingness to accommodate our unique requests. His approachable nature and commitment to excellence made the planning process smooth and stress-free.
If you’re looking for a gorgeous venue with a supportive team, Vells Event Center is the perfect choice for your wedding!

Classic Wedding Venue

We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding. It is the perfect place if you're looking for a classic wedding setting! The outdoor ceremony setting is a beautiful scene for any outdoor wedding. We had the most beautiful day even for mid October.

Dee is amazing and very easy to get a hold of! She will answer any questions that you have and support the bride and groom throughout the entire process. Her and her husband genuinely care for the people they host and they go above and beyond for a smooth event. Dee made a cake for our guests so that we could have a private cake to cut and she saved the look of it when it smashed against the box on the way over the night before! They make all the food in house and two months later our guests are still raving about our good our food was! You won't regret booking this venue. I'd do it all over again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
