The Place at 534 is an amazing all-inclusive venue to have your wedding at in Northeast Ohio. As a wedding photographer in Cleveland Ohio, I’ve seen firsthand how much stress couples can face when planning their big day. That’s why discovering a venue like The Place at 534, is such a breath of fresh air—not just for couples, but for everyone involved in making the day memorable.
Now entering their ninth season, Audrey and Doug, the passionate owners of The Place at 534, have created something truly extraordinary. Their journey into the wedding world didn’t begin in hospitality—it actually started in dentistry. But after years of intentional research and listening closely to couples, they made a bold transition, building a venue based on what couples said they really wanted: simplicity, support, and a personalized experience from start to finish.

Audrey and Doug didn’t just want to create a beautiful venue—they wanted to build a solution. Their couples are busy with work, family, and just life in general, so The Place at 534’s mission is to lift the weight off of the couple and bring their wedding vision to life without the stress. It’s evident from the moment a couple steps onto the property, they’re surrounded by support.

The venue offers four thoughtfully designed packages—Venue Only, Classic, Micro, and their most popular Premier Package. This all-inclusive offering includes everything from floral and catering to planning meetings, a DJ, two photographers, a photo booth, a coordinating team, and more. It’s designed to make wedding planning as easy and enjoyable as possible.
In addition to their all-inclusive packages, The Place at 534 provides venue-only rental options for weddings on Sundays. This flexibility caters to couples who prefer to customize their vendor selections while still enjoying the venue’s beautiful setting.
You can explore the full package and rental details on their website.

This natural setting provides stunning backdrops for wedding photos. Couples can choose from multiple ceremony locations, including an indoor chapel, a waterfront site, and an outdoor chapel, allowing for a personalized ceremony experience.

For added convenience, The Place at 534 offers a five-bedroom on-site lodging option, allowing couples and their guests to stay overnight without the need to travel after the celebration.
What truly sets The Place at 534 apart is their unwavering dedication to excellence. Audrey, Doug, and their team hold themselves—and every vendor they work with—to incredibly high standards. Many of their vendor partners have worked alongside them for years, forming a tightly knit network of dedicated vendors that functions with trust, consistency, and shared values.
With a staff of over 20 dedicated team members, every single wedding is brought to life with care, precision, and pride. Each person plays an essential role, from design and logistics to hands-on coordination and flawless execution. It’s not just a team—it’s a family of professionals who pour their heart into every couple’s day.

At the core of it all is one thing: customer service. It’s the heart of The Place at 534. The moment a couple arrives, they’re greeted with warmth and guided every step of the way. The team listens carefully, encourages couples to bring inspiration photos, and works closely with them to create a day that reflects their unique story.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all venue. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure experience, backed by a team that knows how to turn dreams into a tangible, beautiful reality. All a couple needs to handle is their attire and invitations—Audrey and Doug’s team handles the rest.
As one couple described it: “It felt like they took the wedding out of our hands, in the best way possible.”
Audrey and Doug have built more than a venue. They’ve created a place where love is celebrated, relationships are built, and couples are guided with care. One of their philosophies that resonated with me is simple and beautiful: “You should retire if you don’t have butterflies on your couple’s wedding day.”
It’s that heart, that human connection, that makes The Place at 534 unforgettable.
If you’re looking for a venue that delivers both beauty and soul—one that offers truly stress-free wedding perfection—The Place at 534 is a must-see.
