I had my wedding at Orchid House Winery on October 5th, 2024. I'll start by saying the venue, service, and people that make up OHW are all absolutely phenomenal. Grace, the wedding manager, and her team executed every single detail of our wedding day perfectly, and did so without me hiring an outside planner. I am absolutely in awe of the kindness, professionalism & care that was provided not only on the wedding day, but throughout the entire wedding planning process. I'm a fan of asking way too many questions, I like to know every detail about everything, and had very very particular preferences on multiple things for our wedding day. Orchid House exceeded each of these expectations with ease, always answered my questions willingly, and truly made me feel like they cared just as much as if it were their own wedding day! I primarily worked with Grace, who could not have been more kind and fun to plan our wedding with, not to mention, awesome at what she does! A few additional things to note that I believe differentiate this venue from others:
Cost: From the very first tour of the venue, every single cost was outlined up front and provided to us, along with estimates based on our anticipated guest count. There was never a moment where we felt unsure of what the total cost would come out to & we felt confident booking immediately because of the complete transparency. There were no hidden fees that we were not prepared for, and there is a good amount of flexibility to select what you want to adjust your total cost as needed.
Venue: If you are a bride in the Northeast Ohio area (or are open to traveling there), I hands down think this is one of the most beautiful venues in the area. Think whimsical fairytale meets modern elegance. Twinkle lights, wine barrels, tons of greenery/flowers, fountains, black and white modern interior, updated fixtures, etc. Daytime, sunset and nighttime are all straight out of a movie, and the feeling I had when I first walked into the place told me I couldn't get married anywhere else. The photos of the venue are incredible, but I highly highly recommend checking it out in person. I had countless people approach me on the day of, simply to tell me it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to, all thanks to Orchid House. In addition to the venue itself, the food served at the venue is amazing. So many guests were raving about how wonderful the food and appetizers were, one guest even asked if they would share the recipe for the salmon that was served!
Service: Hands down, some of the kindest, most helpful people to work with. In the months leading up to the wedding, not only was Grace incredibly helpful, but various staff members at the restaurant went out of their way to get to know us, to learn all about our big day, and made us that much more excited for the wedding (Kyah, to name one)! On the actual day, the food and beverage was executed seamlessly, including the severe allergies many of our guests had. They will work with you in every way they can to make your day absolutely perfect. When something popped up (as it will on your wedding day like when the groom's tux button fell off immediately before walking down the aisle), Grace and team resolved with ease. The way every single staff member treated me, my now husband, and our entire group is second to none.
Brides, if you're looking for a venue that does it all & does it all extremely well, I cannot recommend Orchid House Winery enough.

Our wedding at Orchid House Winery on 10/19/24 was incredible! Grace, the venue coordinator, is the sweetest human being and was so easy and wonderful to work with. She really helped us bring our vision of the day to life, was flexible and understanding, and never hesitated to answer my massive lists of questions! She even helped my parents pull off a surprise for me during the Father/Daughter dance. Our wedding day had some timeline delays for the reception (not the venue's fault) and she helped us navigate that seamlessly with a smile on her face. I never felt pressure or stress from her or the OHW team, only supported. Speaking of the team - everyone at OHW was delightful. Even our wedding party and guests were commenting on how amazing, helpful, and sweet everyone they encountered was.
The venue is absolutely stunning; there are no bad angles and a plethora of spots for great pictures. The food is GOOD and several people mentioned it was the best wedding photo they'd had. And the wine is amazing, to top it off!
Having our wedding at Orchid House Winery was a literal dream and we wouldn't have changed a thing. Thank you to Grace and everyone else at OHW for a great day! We highly recommend.

Orchid House blew away our expectations on the day of our wedding (8/24). The venue and grounds were beautiful, the food was delicious, drinks were good and strong, and all the staff were kind and attentive. That being said, we did have a few issues during the planning process. Orchid House has a lot of strict rules and were pretty inflexible when it came to our rehearsal date, bringing in an outside late night snack, and adding options to the bar menu. Everything came together in the end and, overall, we’re so happy to have gotten married at Orchid House. It was a perfect day and our guests continue to rave about the venue.

My husband and I were married at The Orchid House this past Friday and I could not say enough good things about this venue. The team at the Orchid House was extremely helpful through every step of our wedding planning, especially Grace who did a phenomenal job at ensuring our wedding day went as smoothly as possible. The grounds of the venue are absolutely breathtaking, so many of our guests said it was one of the most beautiful venues they’ve been too. On top of all that, the food is so delicious!!!! At the Orchid House, you can do everything on site. There is no worrying about traveling from place to place to get ready, have the ceremony, take pictures, and have the reception. It was amazing being able to do everything at the venue so we didn’t waste any time traveling! Also, no need to worry about finding outside vendors for food and drinks because The Orchid House supplies these things and they are fantastic. I truly could not have asked for a more perfect place to have my wedding and I am so grateful for everyone from The Orchid House who made my dream come true!

We just got married at Orchid House Winery in September, and it was amazing! It is truly a top tier wedding venue. We were really interested in having an outdoor ceremony and reception. We wanted a woodland/fairy/rustic vibe. If that is something you're looking for, I would highly recommend checking out Orchid House Winery. The venue is stunning inside and outside. There are many naturally beautiful places for photos. You can always add your own touch with decorations, but there's so much already there from the beautiful surroundings.
Highlights include:
- stunning views in many locations including a permanent arch and the doors out in the field
- a permanent tent for receptions rain or shine (no extra cost). It has these beautiful twinkling lights throughout
- great wine and food; they handle the catering and booze
- an on-site event coordinator; Grace was amazing and almost like a wedding planner at no additional charge.
- A top notch backup indoor site if it happens to rain on your wedding day
- the chairs that Orchid House provides at no additional charge are really great for a woodland/fairy/rustic theme. Seriously skip the chair upgrades.
- overall very classy ownership. We felt that they did their best to accommodate us. We never like they were trying to upcharge or nickel and dime us.
We really loved having our wedding at Orchid House. 5/5.

We went to visit on a beautiful day in May 2023 to book for May 2024. Our day didnt turn out as beautiful but the venue was well prepared to help us every step of the way. It turned out picture perfect and the staff was ON POINT. All of our guests had nothing but good things to say about the service.

Not only is the entire venue absolutely stunning, that wasn't even the best part. Maria and the Orchid House team were hands down the most professional, personable, caring and helpful people we have ever worked with! We definitely had a vision for our wedding and Maria made all those dreams come true and then some!

Where do I even begin???? My husband and I began our wedding planning process with discussion about venues. We had been to so many weddings already and wanted a venue that would be memorable and unique. We both really became wine lovers over the year prior and thought it might be cool to have our reception at a winery! We looked into a couple in the area and began
our tours. When we stepped foot in Orchid House Winery, formerly ThornCreek, I kept looking at Branden saying “OH MY GOSH THIS PLACE IS BEAUTIFUL.” We were grinning from ear to ear during our whole first visit. It was one of those “when you know, you know” moments. We toured one other place and
immediately knew we were going to pick ThornCreek. The charm, the layout, the stunning gardens, the staff, the reception area, the renovations, it truly was a dream location.
We of course went through a lot of change with the ownership transition from ThornCreek to Orchid House. Once we got paired with Maria, she made everything so smooth and I absolutely loved her straight-forward and honest
approach. She made everything super clear on what changes were happening and what options we had. We ended up switching over to the Orchid House package and I’m SO GLAD we did! The drink selection was amazing, everyone
loved the new Orchid House wines, especially the slushies! Maria felt like a friend in the process and was willing to meet us and work with us on short notice. She also set everything up perfectly just as we requested. The venue was memorable
for everyone. I cannot wait to go to Orchid House Winery on our anniversary every year to relive that day. It’s so nice that we can just go there for dinner every now and then too! We absolutely love this place and all the people that work there. Thank you a million times over to everyone at Orchid House!

When we booked our venue in May of 2022 they were still Thorncreek Winery. Once we got the news that they were purchased I was a little nervous for how everything was going to go. Maria and her team were absolutely wonderful. They made sure that the transition went as smooth as possible and that everything I was promised originally was upheld. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and I can't think of one negative thing to say about any of the staff at Orchid House. I highly recommend them for any event!

We had our wedding here a few weeks ago 9/9/2023 and it was the best day ever. The venue is gorgeous and the staff is amazing. We booked it a year prior in September of 2022 when it was still thorncreek. New ownership took over at the beginning of 2023 and they were wonderful. Everything from our original contract was upheld and we had no issues with this transition. Maria is great! Very responsive and helpful. The day of our wedding went smoothly, no issues at all from start to finish. Maria and the other staff really want you to enjoy your day and not be stressed out, they know what they are doing so trust that everything will be taken care of. We arrived to the beautiful bridal suite with champagne ready for us. The guys also had a nice area and assortment of brews to hangout and relax before the ceremony. Throughout the night multiple staff members came up to me and my husband making sure we had everything we needed. The venue and gardens are in beautiful condition you really don’t need many decorations the place itself is so pretty, the only decor we had were flowers and a welcome sign and that’s really all you need!

When my husband and I booked Orchid House for our wedding venue, it was still ThornCreek. While we were worried about what the transition would be like, Julianna and Maria helped navigate us through. Orchid House honored our contract from ThornCreek and did everything in their power to make our wedding day the magical day that it was. We are immensely thankful for Maria! She was so much more than an amazing Wedding Coordinator. She truly felt like a friend throughout the whole process! On top of the hard work that Maria did for us, the Orchid House workers were amazing. They were kind, diligent, and there for anything we needed. The price that you pay for the venue thoroughly justifies the service and attention to detail that you recieve! Orchid House Winery could not have been a more beautiful venue to have our wedding at. From the manicured, beautiful grounds and gardens, to the style and design of the winery, the elegance was exactly what we dreamed of for our wedding. My favorite part continues to be the garden pathway that leads into the tent that's lit by twinkle lights. Our guests were in awe of the venue's beauty. We continue to be told (over a month later) that it was the prettiest venue many had ever been to. I may be biased, but I thoroughly agree. I truly feel blessed to have been able to have my wedding here, and cannot wait to enjoy our to come!

The Orchid House Winery was the perfect venue for our September wedding.

Maria the wedding coordinator is so professional and personable at the same time. She makes the day and the days leading up to the wedding run so smoothly that I didn’t have to worry about anything.

Orchid House was the PERFECT VENUE for our August wedding day. My husband and I had dreamed of a venue that had indoor and outdoor space, that was full of light, and whose natural beauty would elevate the joy of our wedding. Upon touring the venue, we knew immediately that Orchid House would be right for us. We had a 250-person wedding, which required an additional auxiliary tent, and the venue switched ownership in the middle of our planning process. Despite this transition, everyone at Orchid House was consistent in their communication and their willingness to accommodate all of our requests. We used every inch of space for our wedding day; the new bridal suite in the front was utilized for a Jewish tisch ceremony, the main ballroom was utilized for a Catholic service, the tent immediately to the right outside was used for cocktail hour, and the other two tents fit all of our guests PLUS a Klezmer band AND dueling pianos! Even with a large group, OHW felt like an intimate space. We had so many guests marvel that this was the most beautiful venue they had ever seen. The outdoor area is stunning for photos, especially in the afternoon and early evening. We had our ceremony facing the trees (away from the winery itself) and our chairs were arranged in a beautiful semicircle so that all of our guests felt like they had a good view of the ceremony.
We NEED to brag about the staff! Working with Emily from Taste of Excellence and Maria from Orchid House was a joy! Out of nowhere, we experienced not one but TWO torrential downpours /thunderstorms during our wedding day. One such storm erupted right as guests started to arrive, and Maria, Emily, and their teams worked with our planner to flip the order of the day. Cocktail hour was split before and after the ceremony (during which there was a brief spot of sunshine) and everyone loved the casual atmosphere that a double cocktail hour provided. The rain came back with a vengeance once all of our guests were in the reception tent, but Maria and her team lept into action to pull down the walls of the tent to keep our guests dry! Their team was also incredibly accommodating for newborns and nursing moms, handicap accessibility, and different dietary restrictions. We loved getting married at Orchid House and cannot recommend it highly enough! (PSA: Enjoy the wine slushies before they run out!)

Orchid house winery was the perfect venue for our wedding. Maria, the venue coordinator, was amazing to work with. She answered every question we had and helped the day run smoothly. The day before our wedding the power went out due to a storm and did not come back on until later that night. Orchid house and Maria worked hard all of Friday working to get generators and beautiful lights just in case. They venue also lets you bring decorations the night before if needed which was helpful. The venue itself is gorgeous and everyone was raving about it. There are so many great places for photos. We could not have asked for a better experience. If you choose Orchid House Winery you won’t regret it.

Maria and Danielle at Orchid House Winery helped make our wedding dreams come true! They were both extremely easy to work with and very accommodating of our needs and wants. Throughout the planning process they both met with us to answer our questions so that the day ran extremely smooth, which it did!
During the day, they made sure to always check in on us and make sure we weren’t worrying about a thing. We truly appreciated this and felt at ease that we didn’t have to worry about a thing during the day!
Orchid House as a venue is extremely beautiful. The grounds are taken care of extremely well and everything is so neat and tidy. Our guests couldn’t believe that this venue was in Cleveland, Ohio as you truly felt you were somewhere magical. The entire day felt like a dream and we were so glad we chose Orchid House as the backdrop for the best day of our lives!

I couldn’t recommend The Orchid House, or our Wedding Manager, Maria, more! Having our wedding celebration at this venue was a dream come true. It’s truly feels like a magical garden somehow tucked into a serene corner of Aurora, OH. The winery itself is a first class experience in every sense of the phrase. From the unbelievable food, to the amazing wine, to the gorgeous decor. It is classic, chic, and modern.
We spent months meeting with Orchid House’s staff planning every detail of our day (admittedly not knowing much about the planning process). Maria guided us with expertise and genuine care throughout every step of the way. She was professional, thoughtful, and detailed oriented until the very end of the wedding evening. She went above and beyond to not only accommodate every ask but offer help in any way possible putting everyone’s mind at ease. The venue’s assisting staff that made the entire day a success couldn’t have been more gracious and supportive. My guests have yet to stop raving about every aspect of the day. We are so grateful and will be regularly returning to Orchid House for dinner (and saying hi to Maria).

I cannot recommend this venue enough, and neither can my guests! It’s impeccably maintained from the landscaping to each and every fixture. Maria was a total professional who made the process so easy. We had 180 guests and yet there wasn’t a single notable line for the bar, everyone received their food quickly, and it was just seamless from start to finish. This venue was a dream and one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

We are honored to have been a part of your wedding, and we can't thank you enough for recommending us.

My husband and I booked this venue over a year ago, before it’s acquisition and name change from Thorncreek to Orchid House. Although it was worrisome that we were seeing turnover due to the acquisition, the transition to the new staff was seamless for us. Maria and Julianne communicated well and worked with us to settle all the final details before our big day.
On our wedding day of June 3rd, we were completely blown away by the attention to detail, and they truly transformed the tasting room to match our vision. The wedding coordinator, Maria, was so incredibly sweet, kind, and organized. She handled everything in a professional manner and was transparent throughout the process. We cannot thank Maria and the rest of the staff enough for their hard work. Our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about the venue and how the event went!
