Walden & Makenna - 10/10
We could not have asked for a better wedding-planning or wedding-weekend experience. Selecting your venue can be such a big & stressful decision but after our tour of Walden we only felt excitement, confidence, and peace of mind. Walden has the ability to turn your wedding day into a wedding weekend with their 20+ rooms in which my wife & I and all our closest family & friends took advantage of both Friday and Saturday night. Every single guest said it was the nicest ‘hotel’ room they’d ever stayed in and the rooms truly feel like your own little apartment. I could go on forever about all our favorite parts of the weekend and Walden deserves 5 stars from every perspective as a wedding venue but we have to especially highlight the food. By far the best food we’ve ever had at a wedding - not even close.
So while we’d give Walden a 10/10, we would give Makenna a 100/10. She is the absolute best and we could not speak highly enough about her. To give some perspective on the type of Wedding Planner and person she is: We were planning on having a ‘Welcome Party’ on Friday where our guests were invited to join us in the Walden Lounge for drinks & snacks. In a total mess-up on our end, we never communicated this plan to Makenna. So with only a couple hours notice, Makenna made the whole thing happen and even was our bartender for the night. Everything throughout the whole weekend went super smoothly with no stress on our end and that is definitely thanks to Makenna. With all of the decisions and intricacies that go into planning your wedding, your wedding planner can totally make or break your experience & Makenna made ours (despite lots of high-maintenance requests) better than we could have ever hoped.We could not have asked for a better wedding-planning or wedding-weekend experience.

Best Wedding Venue!
Booking Walden for our venue was the best decision we made for our wedding! It truly has everything you could want in a wedding venue and is so elegant. The fountain space for the ceremony is gorgeous, and we loved having an equally nice backup indoor option. We didn’t need to use it, but having a good backup gave us so much peace of mind. The flow of the day was seamless going from ceremony to cocktail hour on the patio. Our day was a little chilly, so it was great to have the library/indoor area that guests could utilize if they were cold. The reception room is beautiful on its own and looked breathtaking with florals and minimal other décor. The food was without doubt the best wedding food we have ever had, and our guests all told us the same. We received so many compliments on the food- specifically the bacon wrapped scallops and the filet, which was cooked perfectly. They did an amazing job passing the food quickly and efficiently, so no one was waiting long to be served. The bartenders did a great job with our specialty cocktails and kept the bar line moving quickly.
We would highly recommend renting out the entire inn, it was so fun to have all our family and friends stay the night! It also meant we were able to use the entire inn space as we pleased throughout the weekend. The rooms at the Inn are very spacious and beautiful. All our guests were extremely comfortable. The hospitality at Walden is unmatched. The staff members are extremely kind and go above and beyond to help accommodate every request by us and our guests.
Makenna goes above and beyond the role of venue coordinator. Any request we had she worked to accommodate it. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She helped guide us through the planning process and helped us create our timeline. On the day of the wedding, she made sure every detail was exactly as we wanted it, and she kept the timeline of the day running efficiently. We were able to enjoy our day without any concerns thanks to her. Having Makenna truly takes Walden over the top as the best place to host your wedding.

Best wedding ever
This venue was everything and more than what my husband and I could have ever dreamed of. The space is gorgeous and the staff is wonderful. The entire weekend was beyond perfect. The staff worked great with all of our vendors, and they were very accommodating to all of our guests. I would 100% recommend renting out the entire inn. Having our friends and family stay on site with us was SO fun and made the weekend even better. The landscape is picture-perfect too. Our photographer was obsessed with all the different spots to take pictures. Everyone was so sad to leave on Sunday. You will not regret booking this venue for your wedding. Makenna is amazing to work with as well. She made everything so easy for us and is beyond willing to answer any questions you may have a guide you through the planning process. My husband and I could not have a more positive review about Walden. Our guests are still talking about the entire weekend even 2 months later, and I still smile to myself whenever I think about our wedding. 10/10 would recommend to absolutely anyone!!This venue was everything and more than what my husband and I could have ever dreamed of.

Makenna is a dream!
I fell in love with Walden but it was really Makenna that sealed the deal. From the very first visit she made us feel comfortable and welcomed. Her attention to detail was above and beyond. Any request or idea was always received with positivity and they really make everything work. The facility offers so much for guests to take advantage of. The yoga class in the rose garden was the perfect way to start the day. Treating guests to spa services was also really convenient. Our wedding guests raved about the food. The horse release during the ceremony was another special touch. Walden is the most tranquil, intimate and special wedding venue in Cleveland!I fell in love with Walden but it was really Makenna that sealed the deal.

Beautiful renovations!
The Walden is a beautiful place to host a wedding! The new renovations are stunning and the backdrops of our photos turned out phenomenally! Our guests raved about the perfectly plated and cooked meals for both breakfast and dinner. The staff members made us feel like family and were available all day long on our wedding day and the morning after. The suites were also a big hit as family and friends were able to walk to their rooms after the reception. We would highly recommend the Walden for anyone looking for an upscale, elegant place to have their wedding!The Walden is a beautiful place to host a wedding!

Perfect for Our Wedding Ceremony!
We used the Inn Walden for our wedding ceremony and we are so grateful to have had our event there! We found them at a time I didn't think we were going to find anything and Inn Walden exceed all our expectations! Sarah was soooo helpful to me not only for planning our ceremony with just all wedding advice in general. Kate was there for us the day of to ensure everything looked beautiful and went smoothly. We loved they had an option for our ceremony to be either indoor or outdoors. We booked the Bridle Suite to get ready and it really made our day much more seamless and time effective. Our wedding day was a hot August day and I had always envisioned a lot of pictures outdoor but we took a lot in their beautiful glass hallways and they are amazing. Overall thankful to had a gorgeous place with need work needed to make beautiful for our big day! Thank you again Inn Walden for making our wedding day what it was.We used the Inn Walden for our wedding ceremony and we are so grateful to have had our event there!

Breeze & Easy Contact
We am working with Sarah and she is so sweet and great! She knows the best vendors (not just the overly priced) and helped me with so many questions, never getting tired of my emails nor showing any sort of boredness or being annoyed! Everytime you walk through the doors of the Walden, you are welcomed with hospitality and professionalism. Such a lovely place!!We am working with Sarah and she is so sweet and great!

My husband and I chose Walden for the beauty of the venue and the professional staff on site. Your budget is well spent in this venue. The quality of the service and food is outstanding. The options for outdoor and indoor ceremony/reception are wonderful and they are up front with costs and charges so you aren't surprised when it is time to pay the bill. Our friends and family were blown away in all aspects of our recent wedding here. I would highly recommend Walden to any bride looking for a very classy and timeless event of any kind. Also my bridal party and I used Spa Walden for our hair and makeup the morning of the wedding. The staff was professional and courteous of our schedule. They took wonderful care of us and made sure we were fed and happy at all times! I am so very grateful to the staff there for making my morning of experience wonderful when the adrenaline is flowing as well as the nerves. Ladies you are fantastic and I'd recommend them to any bride looking to be well cared for on her wedding day!My husband and I chose Walden for the beauty of the venue and the professional staff on site.
