When planning your dream wedding, you probably already know to ask about capacity,

available dates, and pricing. But what about the less obvious questions that can make or break

your big day?

At Touch of Excellence, a premier wedding venue and banquet hall serving Cleveland, Akron,

Medina, and Creston, we encourage couples to ask the all the right questions—because we

believe in full transparency and zero surprises. Here are five often-overlooked things to ask any

venue…and why we proudly stand out.

1. Are There Any Hidden Fees I Should Know About?

Many couples are caught off guard by fees for things like cleanup, additional hours, or use of in-

house services. Some venues may even charge extra for using their own sound system or

décor.

-

Our Promise: At Touch of Excellence, we’re transparent on pricing. Our all-inclusive

packages are clearly laid out, and we’ll walk you through every cost upfront—no hidden fees, no

last-minute charges. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for.

2. Are There Noise Ordinances That Might Affect My Reception?

Some venues are located in areas with strict noise restrictions—meaning your reception could

be forced to end earlier than expected, or your dance floor volume might be limited.

-Our Advantage: Our venue sits on a secluded estate in Medina County, which means yo

can enjoy your celebration without worrying about outside noise complaints. Our built-in DJ

lighting and fog machine, plus optional in-house DJs, ensure your party doesn’t end early.

3. How Is Power Access Handled for DJs, Lighting, and Catering?

Wedding vendors often need access to reliable electrical outlets in key locations for sound,

lighting, or kitchen equipment. If your venue isn't properly equipped, it can lead to costly

complications.

-We’ve Got You Covered: From our granite dance floor with ambiance lighting to our sound

system rental and up lighting options, Touch of Excellence is fully wired and event-ready. Our

layout ensures vendors have all the power they need—without cords running across the room

or last-minute workarounds.

4. Can I Bring My Own Vendors?

Some venues require couples to use specific vendors for catering, music, or décor—limiting

your freedom (and possibly your budget).

-Your Choice, Your Way: At Touch of Excellence, we offer a robust list of in-house

services—including catering, photography, event planning, and DJs—but we also welcome

outside vendors. Whether you use ours or bring your own, we’re here to support your vision.

5. What’s Included in the Décor, and What Do I Have to Provide?

Before booking a venue, it’s essential to understand how much decorating you’ll be responsible

for—and whether the venue has rentals or packages available.

-What We Offer: At our Cleveland-area reception hall, you don’t have to decorate everything

from scratch. We provide candelabras, vases, up lighting, Chiavari chairs, and premium linens

for rent, giving you elegance without effort.

Choosing the perfect wedding venue near Medina, Akron, or Creston is about more than
