About
On WeddingWire since 2017
The Ariel International Center, a rooftop wedding venue, welcomes couples in the greater Cleveland, Ohio area. This venue offers amazing 360-degree views of the Cleveland skyline and Lake Erie. It is located five minutes from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in downtown Cleveland.
Facilities and Capacity
This venue welcomes up to 350 guests for a couple’s big day. The Ariel International Center offers two event spaces for couples: the Skyline Lake Room and the Skyline Lakeview Rooftop. The Skyline Lakeview Rooftop features a wooden floor with a subtle checkerboard pattern and a railing with wire that doesn't obscure a couple’s view of the surrounding cityscape or lake. Couples can marry with Lake Erie as the backdrop or the city, with a vintage water tower in the foreground. The Skyline Lake Room features floor-to-ceiling windows for the same breathtaking views as the roof. This room’s high wood-beam ceiling features dark polished wood and light fixtures that give off a warm romantic glow. Earth-tone walls and international artwork add to the charm of this space.
Services Offered
This space opens its doors to couples hosting bridal showers, engagement parties and rehearsal dinners in addition to ceremonies and receptions. For any wedding-related event, couples will find services that include:
- Bridal suite
- Cleanup
- Event planning
- Event rentals
- Lighting/sound

- Parking
- Setup
- Valet
- Wireless internet
History

We got married 10/22/22 at this venue and were utterly amazed! Working with Tracey was amazing & she was always available for questions we had. The staff was accommodating and quick to respond. The views here are out of this world. I would recommend this venue to anyone who is getting married! -

Jessica C. Married on 07/30/2021Can we get married there again?
Ariel International Center was the perfect place for us to get married. Tracey, who was our coordinator, was an absolute rockstar. She works harder than any other person you'll meet throughout your planning process. Tracey made everything super seamless and was happy accommodate all of our ideas! We had a family tragedy occur the morning of our wedding and Tracey didn't bat an eye at helping us flip our ceremony and cocktail hour. She was an incredible partner throughout the whole planning process. The venue is beautiful and we loved the historic industrial vibe, but working with Tracey really made the process unforgettable. If I could, would get married there again in a heartbeat. -

I don't think there is enough room in this comment box to express how deeply appreciative my wife and I are for the team at Ariel. We booked our wedding festivities (ceremony, cocktail hour, & reception) in fall of 2018 for our spring 2020 wedding. They held on as long as they could during Covid, to avoid having to screw up our plans. They even allowed us to have a photo shoot on site with our 2nd photographer. When the state shut down in 2020, they allowed us to push back our celebration date to 2021 (for what would be our 1 year anniversary, because we ended up still getting married on our back porch). Come January 2021, my wife and I were very apprehensive about continuing with our plans, given the remaining health and safety concerns relating to Covid. Our event coordinator, Tracey, did everything in her power to make it the most "normal" event as possible. Luckily, the CDC restrictions lifted and we were allowed to have dancing and the open bar. It was a long 3 years worth of planning and waiting. When the day finally came, it was down-pouring...... ALL DAY. Tracey jumped right into action and helped coordinate our last minute changes. We couldn't have done any of this without Tracey. She truly is such an amazing soul with the best personality and she has a passion for making miracles happen to bring "the vision" to life. We will always be thankful for Tracey and the management team at Ariel. We are so blessed to have finally been able to celebrate in our dream venue with the people we love most.
