The Madison is Cleveland’s premier event space. Built in the early 1900s, The Madison initially housed the Republic Brass Company. After years of disuse, the 22,000 square foot warehouse caught the eye of a Cleveland-based event professional who fell in love with the structure’s propensity to merge historic industrialism with modern minimalism as an event space. In 2018, The Madison officially opened for business in the growing and diverse Midtown district to accommodate Cleveland’s top weddings, celebrations, and corporate events. At The Madison, our mission is to cultivate human connection and life’s treasured moments. This informs everything about The Madison, from the aesthetic to the design and accommodations. The white brick walls, twenty foot ceilings, and open layout promote creativity and empower you to design the event of your dreams. On-site tables and chairs minimize event-related decisions and costs. The one story floor plan and loading docks facilitate stress-free load-in. Getting-Ready Rooms, designed by Restoration Hardware and filled with natural light, allow you to capture stunning images before you walk down the aisle. The large outdoor patio enables guests to celebrate under the stars, while just minutes from downtown. We even attended to small details, like fourteen beautiful new bathrooms, a catering preparation area, air-conditioning and heating, track-lighting, and ample electrical outlets, to make your event feel as comfortable as possible.
