“As a May 2026 bride at Windows on the River, I want to note that I had a lovely day. I’m writing this in the hopes that some couples do not experience some mishaps that we did.

1. During our ceremony, in the Bridge View Room, staff could be heard loudly talking behind the room divider. So much so, family members in the front row (farthest from the room divider) could hear.
2. During cocktail hour, many guests ventured the entire way through the aquarium without seeing a single server with a passed appetizer.
3. The cake-cutting table was not set with two forks and a dessert plate. Additionally, our cake-cutting knife was still wrapped in the box, which was on the table, and still had the sticky note on it reading “for cake cutting.” We weren’t about to unwrap and unbox these in front of 300 guests. So, in front of our guests, we had to run to our sweetheart table, grab forks, run back to the cake table in the middle of the dance floor and grab bites. Not being able to have our traditional cake cutting with our special serving set was a bummer.
4. Obtaining parking for guests was difficult. The lot is not owned by Windows, though the companies work closely together. The staff at Windows had to constantly remind the team at the parking lot to even answer us as prospective customers. I hope the venue and the lot can establish a better communication system that benefits everyone.

Simply put, these issues were disappointing for the amount of money paid.

That being said, many things were also wonderful! The space was gorgeous for photos and dancing, the dinner was delicious, the bartenders were fabulous, the aquarium was a hit, and Kathy was always quick to respond.

I write this in good faith hoping that the venue sees this and does not allow situations like this to happen with other couples and their families. We still had a beautiful day and don’t regret booking with the venue, but guest experience could be improved.“

“Had our wedding reception there in 2018- went so smoothly! Sam helped us through each step! Love the food too!“

“Working with Sausalito on Ninth was an absolute pleasure as a wedding planner. From crafting a personalized menu to flawlessly executing the catering logistics, they showcased professionalism and creativity. The seamless collaboration between our teams enhanced the overall wedding experience for previous couples and their guests. I highly recommend Sausalito on Ninth to any future clients looking for a catering partner that goes above and beyond to create memorable moments. I look forward to working future events with them.“

“I work at millcraft up on grant ave. But live in Akron. My friend Mike told me about this place. I bought 3 pounds of your fresh polish sausage. I got home around 11 am. I cut off a peace because i wanted to try it. Cooked in just a little butter. Oh my, oh oh my. That is the best sausage i have ever ate. Well, i cooked up.the rest and my wife said she does like sausage but that is incredibly delicious. Thank you“

“Jason and the Brennan's staff catered my wedding in July 2022. Needless to say, they did an absolutely phenomenal job! I received so many compliments on the food, friendly staff, and outstanding service. Jason is incredibly kind, experienced, and easy to work with and helped the reception run so smoothly. Also, Brennan's pricing is very reasonable especially in comparison to so many other catering companies. I just cannot say enough good things about Brennan's and their personal, high-quality approach. I would highly recommend them for your event!“

“Marge catered a party for 50 at our home and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Her menu is extensive, prices fair, and everything is home cooked. She and her staff came to set up hours three hours before the party and food was delivered piping hot at the time we requested. Guests fought over her stuffed cabbage and her pastry tray was so good, everything was gone before I could get a piece. She supplied all serving pieces, including REAL silverware, not plastic. She is super organized, energetic, and a joy to work with. We knew she was good but she more than exceeded our expectations.“

“The place is beautiful and clean and a whole lot of space , very nice.“

Everyone loved the food and made so many compliments on it! She was very patient when it came to us ordering the food/making additions. Would definitely recommend her!“

“We recently held a conference at the Woodside Event Center. It was a huge success --in no small part due to the food, staff, and facilities at Woodside. Everything went flawlessly. I highly recommend this location for any civic business or religious organization for your next conference. We were able to concentrate on meeting agenda and content. Marge Dzmura and her staff at Woodside handled the rest.“

“I work at The Madison and PKC catered the event at our venue yesterday. EVERYTHING was AMAZING! Food, quality, service, professionalism…. I can not rave enough! If you need catering for an upcoming event, please inquire! The owner, “Smalls” and staff were an absolute dream to work with! 10 out of 10!!!!!!!“

Her hands are blessed with the gift of creative food ideas, mixed with island spices and cultural flavors. she does this with passion and determination. I can't wait to see this business will rise to above normal standards. Best wished“

“Food is hands down THE most important part of a wedding. If you want to make sure your guests are leaving happy and full, book Driftwood. The appetizers were absolute showstoppers! People kept going back for more. During dinner, everything perfectly cooked, served hot, and extremely tasty. Meg was our event manager and working with her was a breeze! Our entire experience with her from the tasting to the big day was a blast. She went to every table while food was being served to ensure a smooth service, stayed the entire night assisting the waitstaff, AND even snuck in a dance with us. Thank you Meg and Driftwood for a memorable meal and evening!“

“Excellent Facility, Service and Food. I recommend them highly and use them all the time for my personal catering needs.“

“I bought 6 different types of soups. They all are very delicious. I chose the avocado, sweet potato, asparagus, butternut squash, black eye pea & celery, and spinach. They all are very tasty and nourishing to the soul. I was quite impressed with the amount of soup in each container. Although they all are great, my favorite are the sweet potato and avocado!! Sometimes, I'll add a little chicken or turkey for protein. Check them all out and see which one is your favorite. 😋“

“the best you can get... very professional,creative, affordable, responsive, and very elegant...“

“Used Cafe 56/ 56 Kitchen for our child's Mitzvah weekend, for 3 different events- Saturday lunch, Saturday dinner, and a Sunday Brunch. Jay was a breeze to work with- and totally understood and delivered on the vision with all three events. His many years of experience means that he's able to tweak your menus so they make sense, and make them the most cost efficient for you. The food was tasty, and beautifully displayed. One thing to note-- Jay's a busy though laid back guy- but he gets it done. We connected with him a year ahead, though we finalized menus, etc. just weeks before the event, which worked out very well. I would use Cafe 56 again for future events in a heartbeat!“

“great food and great service you definitely won't go wrong with booking Sizzle Sauce &Spice Catering“

“The ice cream truck really helped make our event successful!“

“That come see for yourself and enjoy the atmosphere 😉“

“If you haven’t been to Via Roma Event Center & Ristorante in North Royalton yet, you are seriously missing out. The food was phenomenal, the service was amazing, and the entire restaurant is absolutely beautiful. It’s huge, super clean, spacious, and has the perfect mix of old-world Italian charm with modern touches. The downstairs grotto is such a cool experience, and they also host live music, comedy shows, and different events throughout the year. You can tell a lot of love and work went into bringing this place to life. Let’s support this local gem and make sure North Royalton keeps places like this around for years to come! ❤️🍝🎶“

“It took less than 10 minutes to get my food at this unique carry out only West African (Nigerian) spot. Jollof rice was divine and smokey with a large portion size for $7. Suya was tasty, though it could have been spicier, but I don’t think it’s cooked over coals. Speed and value really set this place apart from typical Nigerian fare. Excellent spot!“

“food was great and people are super nice“

“My family and I living coming here after a long hard day of work and/or school...It has that special neighborhood feel, and the employees, (mostly college and high school students), are awesome!“
