Elegant, Vintage & Industrial feel, with breathtaking views of downtown Cleveland

One of the most sought after wedding venues in the past 6 years is Ariel International . In fact, Ariel International Center weddings have become extremely common.  This is most likely due to the fact that it’s truly in a class all by itself.

The views from the upper floor ballrooms are simply astounding. What’s more is cocktail hour or a ceremony on the roof. With the lake in the background, breathtaking is the only word we can think of. We recommend utilizing our special sound technicians when on the rooftop. The technician will be able to enhance the sound so the wind from the lake isn’t an issue. With this, your guests will be able to hear everything clearly.

If you’re looking for an indoor ceremony/cocktail area there is a separate floor specifically dedicated for this. It doesn’t have the same breathtaking views as the rooftop but it is still fantastic nonetheless.

Downtown feel, but not a "true" downtown venue....

Selective Sound Entertainment, a Cleveland Ohio wedding DJ company, has had the honor and pleasure of doing many Ariel International weddings. As a full service entertainment company, we specialize in world class entertainment, Décor lighting, photo novelties and videography. We also get asked to do our fair share of string lighting to give it that old café style look.

Let us help you enhance your Ariel International wedding!  Contact us now.

One of a kind wedding venue with a classic & rustic flare

Pine Ridge Country Club weddings are extremely popular in the Lake County area.  Not only does this fantastic wedding venue have amazing views with the classic original designs and paned windows but the service and food is phenomenal!

Our good friends at Dinos catering also runs Manakiki and Acacia. Pine Ridge, however, is a favorite amongst most couples. There are two rooms to celebrate in at this venue. First is the lower ballroom which accommodates smaller groups. It doesn’t have the glamour or character of the main ballroom but it’s still lovely. With that said, it does feature an outdoor patio space which is always fantastic. The main ballroom upstairs is what most couples reserve for a Pine Ridge Country Club wedding. It has a gorgeous backdrop and can accommodate approximately 220 guests.

When you first walk into the main entrance and through the doors, there is a grand, curved staircase. This leads you up to the pre-function area for cocktail hour. The cocktail area is a combination of rooms and the bars are conveniently set up in two areas next to each other in separate rooms.   After cocktail hour has concluded, guests are asked to make their way to the main ballroom for dinner.

Dark wood beamed ceilings and stucco style walls

Everything about a Pine Ridge Country Club wedding is unique, classic and undeniably breathtaking. An amazing backdrop for any wedding at any time of the year. Its beauty and significant charm that it lends to couples, is something your guests will never forget.

Being in the Cleveland wedding DJ business for over 30 years, Selective Sound Entertainment has done plenty of accent up-lighting, Monograms, DJ entertainment as well as some live musicians.

A Gervasi Vineyard wedding is a one-of-a-kind Weddin

Gervasi Vineyard, in Northeast Ohio, is one of the most elite wineries in the area. It is also the ultimate choice for a vineyard wedding. No only does it have some of the most incredible sights and atmospheres but there is also so much to do on the property. For example, the vineyard has 3 different dining experiences for visiting guests as well as accommodations for overnight stays.

Gervasi Vineyard is specifically located in Canton, Ohio and known for its Tuscan theme. Guests from all over Ohio travel to spend anywhere from a few hours to a few days here. While here, folks can dine in peace with luxury amenities. The picturesque landscaping and breathtaking views of the lush vineyards and spring fed lake, make Gervasi one of a kind. It is also what brings people back time and time again.

Selective Sound Entertainment has had the honor of visiting Gervasi Vineyards on many occasions. As a Cleveland wedding DJ company, this is one of our favorites.

Gervasi weddings are fairly common and there are 3 different main venues to have wedding receptions.

  1. The Tuscan inspired Pavilion. This is their signature wedding choice for guests up to 300.  It has a beautiful open air design with views of the winery and Spring fed lake. Your guests will be in awe of these gorgeous views.
  2. The Villa Grande. This is an elegant ballroom and will hold up to 120 guests. Not only is it very spacious but it has a warm welcoming atrium as well.
  3. The conservatory. This is a greenhouse with lush greenery and is the best choice for more intimate ceremonies and receptions up to 40 guests.

A Wedding Experience at Gervasi Vineyard is a High-class Experience

From outdoor ceremonies in multiple locations to intimate receptions under the pavilion or in the ballroom, you just can’t go wrong at Gervasi Vineyard. Here, they pride themselves on their first class service and delectable food. Their staff is always very accommodating and will help customize the reception of your dreams.

Many of the ceremonies we do outdoors require our top ceremony sound systems with dedicated sound technicians. Therefore each guest can hear the vows and feel like they are a part of the ceremony. Warm accent lighting in any space is a way to add a bit more intimacy and enhanced the natural beauty of the Tuscan themed pavilion.

Selective Sound offers many different options, from award winning DJs to our popular party band, we have you covered to keep your dance floor hopping the entire night.

Charming and unique pavilions at Meadow Ridge

As a Cleveland wedding DJ company, we visit hundreds of venues each year and once in a while we come across a venue where we just fall in love.  Meadow Ridge Farm is by far one of our favorite outdoor wedding venues that we simply adore.

So what makes Meadow Ridge Farm one our favorites?

First, there are two amazing custom and newly built pavilions.   The maple pavilion features a soaring 26-foot cathedral ceiling, timber posts and beams made of douglas fir. The other is known as the oak pavilion. This one has an elegant barn-like interior that boasts a 25-foot vaulted ceiling, stunning rustic chandeliers, and a hand-stained concrete floor.

Endless possibilities

Second, Meadow Ridge Farm offers many different picturesque areas. Their ceremony site is the perfect backdrop for any outdoor ceremony. This 80 acre farm offers so many different gardens and areas for breathtaking pictures.

Third, the option of a fireworks show after sunset is just one of those over-the-top possibilities at this venue. We of course work closely with the venue to coordinate when these go off. We can even play a few custom songs during the amazing display that seems to go on forever.

Lastly, the family is amazing to work with. The sense of pride they have in what they do can be felt the second you reach out to them. We have done about 20 weddings at Meadow Ridge Farm and can only give raving reviews. Their staff, grounds and concierge service are all equally fantastic.

Selective Sound Entertainment has done some extensive lighting and production at Meadow Ridge Farm. From ceremony sound support with wireless microphones and a sound technician to warm amber up-lighting and pin spotting.

Contact us  to hear about some ideas and examples of unique things we have seen at Meadow Ridge Farms from other couples.
