Greystone Is The Top Wedding Venue In Akron

Your wedding is one of the most significant occasions you’ll experience in life. Akron and Summit County meet the moment as a warm, welcoming, accessible setting for brides, grooms and guests from near and far. Greystone, our premier site for saying “I do,” embodies what makes this region special. It’s where history, elegance and attentive service come together to ensure your wedding is a perfect reflection of your love story.  

Inside Greystone: Akron’s Historic Wedding Venue  

Elegant and sophisticated, Greystone has the iconic architecture, timeless charm and unique character that couples seek out for their special day. Originally built in 1917, the seven-story stone structure offers a variety of rooms, all with distinctive designs to suit any style, and exceptional service that goes above and beyond to make your wedding as one-of-a-kind as your relationship.  

Distinctive Spaces to Fit Your Style  

From the marble-walled lobby to the two-story ballroom, Greystone’s various event spaces — available for ceremonies and receptions — will elevate every moment of your wedding. After entering through the lobby, guests will take the grand staircase (an elevator is also available) to the room that is best suited to your event size. 

The Barrister’s Lounge, with its 20-foot bar and flexible Billiard Room, is designed for groups of 50 to 80 people, while the Grand Ballroom’s ornate design and Victorian-era windows will wow larger parties. On the third and fourth floors, the Egyptian Room’s columns and decor are reminiscent of a temple; the Doric Room offers a more classic ceremony site; and the Garden Room’s purple hues set a beautiful stage for a more intimate gathering. All architecturally striking, the spaces are flexible and can be adapted based on your vision.  

Getting Ready at Greystone 

The Parlor and Parlor Suite await your wedding party before the ceremony. Comfortable couches, private bathrooms and ample space make it easy to get ready and relax pre-celebration. Hors d’oeuvres and beverages are available to keep everyone satiated. And a separate entrance to the Grand Ballroom allows the wedding party to enter apart from the guests.
