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.

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.

Metropolitan at the 9: Iconic wedding venue that will wow your guests

Tell your guests your wedding is at The 9 and they will already know where you’re referring to.  That is what Metropolitan at the 9 states on their website.

Metropolitan at The 9 features the Mint ballroom as well as the original bank vaults. Not only are these incredible wedding spaces but one of the most epic wedding spaces you will find in Cleveland, Ohio.  Filled with intimate and interesting visuals, superior staff and inspirational design, this is the venue your guests will talk about for years to come.

Art, history and luxury fuse seamlessly at this wedding venue, Metropolitan at The 9.  The rooftop bar area is perfect for your ceremony as well as an after party. There are also many different vaults to host your cocktail hour for your guests.   As a Cleveland wedding DJ company for almost 35 years, we are always excited to work at the 9.

The Flow of a Wedding at Metropolitan at the 9

When you first step into The Metroploitan at the 9, you automatically feel like you’re in a hotel that is so upscale that you’re part of the rich and famous.  When your guests arrive, they will be immediately greeted by a welcoming valet service that feels like they are out of a movie scene. After this, greeters guide your guests to the rooftop for your ceremony.

After your guests enjoy a ceremony like no other, they will be escorted downstairs into the vaults. These are located near the Mint Ballroom.  The Vault area, for cocktails, is an absolute historic space. Without a doubt, your guests will be taking pictures like crazy.  During this time, hors d’oeuvres will be passed out, teasing your guests’ palates.

When cocktail hour comes to an end, your guests will be escorted into the Mint Ballroom. This is truly one of the most luxurious hotel ballrooms in Northeast Ohio.  Amazing service with world class chefs will keep your guests talking about the amazing meal they will have eaten at The Metropolitan at the 9.   After dinner, everyone will dance the night away with your very classy and tasteful band or wedding DJ.  When the festivities come to a close, those guests who aren’t ready to turn in, will be invited up to the rooftop club/bar (weather permitting).

A couple quick tips for enhancing Metropolitan at the 9:
