Five-star wedding venue

Angelica and her team made our day absolutely perfect!! Our guests raved about the food, and they did an excellent job accommodating our guests' dietary restrictions (nut, dairy, gluten, vegan). The reception was seamless, and they kept the reception going exactly how we planned to have so much time on the dance floor! Angelica also gave wonderful recommendations for various vendors that we used. Ask about the Beer Vespa... it was an absolute hit during cocktail hour!! The staff was so kind, and they also set up and tore down the event for us! We would recommend Angelica and her team in a heartbeat for a wedding in northeast OH!!

This place is wonderful! We just had our wedding there on 3.16.24 and I could not be happier with this venue. They fit in our budget while also being able to accommodate our food restrictions (we had a gluten free event). Speaking of food: DELICIOUS!!! So yummy my guests all raved about it! The best part? I didn’t have to worry about setting up or breaking down tables. Angelica and the staff went over what we wanted and they took care of it!! Such a relief! My event was beautiful and I’m so happy I went with Tangier!

Angelica and The Tangier are absolutely perfect for your special day! The inclusive options of having food, bar, and decorations handled by one contract made our special day as stress-free as possible for the reception! The decorations/venue are extremely customizable, sensibly-priced, and beautiful for a wedding reception. Working with Angelica was nothing but a breeze! She is phenomenal at her job, knowledgeable for other reception must-haves (transportation, hotel block, etc.), and did a 15/10 amazing job the night of the reception! We cannot recommend booking this venue any more highly; you will regret not using this venue!

Angelica and the Tangier team were amazing. The space is gorgeous and really is a nice canvas for any style of decor you want for your wedding. Angelica was so easy to work with. She knew we wanted a late August date and kept in communication with us whenever other couples would change their dates and free up ones that we wanted. She answered all of our questions and helped execute our reception to perfection. Everything was set up beautifully. We had a nice sunny, warm day last August for our wedding and the patio at this location was a big hit with our guests. Plenty of parking at this location, plenty of hotels nearby for guests, beautiful venue, and professional team led by Angelica. My husband and I highly recommend this venue and working with Angelica!

Angelica and her staff are absolutely amazing; they made our reception perfect from start to finish! The venue is beautiful both inside and out and accommodates anyone who may have a difficult time walking. All of the food and drinks were great and the decorations were beautiful as well. They have a large decoration selection and are very accommodating to your wants and needs. We had a cigar bar and ice cream served, and Angelica and her staff handled all of their setup and execution flawlessly. She was always reassuring and is extremely qualified; we could not have asked for a better coordinator. We highly recommend the Tangier!

I am so happy with how our wedding turned out at The Tangier! Angelica was so great to work with, made me feel at ease, and was so accommodating! Their space was so clean and decorated just as I had envisioned!

Words cannot say enough about Angelica and her wonderful staff; they went above and beyond to make our daughter's wedding day perfect. I have been to a lot of weddings, but I must say their food had to be the best I have ever eaten. They hosted the rehearsal dinner the night before and again everything was perfect. I would recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding or large event. Again, thank you Angelica and all of your wonderful staff for everything.

I cannot say enough about how much Angelica and her team at the Tangier did to make everything perfect and run smoothly! She is beyond competent in making visions come to life and making suggestions that help to make everything work! I had ideas in my mind of what I wanted and she helped so much in making them a reality! She was always willing to help with anything that she was able to. Thank you, Angelica, and please extend our thanks to your team, as they were so friendly and helpful the entire night! I would recommend The Tangier to anybody looking for a wonderful venue that cares about their clients!

I have nothing but great things to say about Angelica and The Tangier! Everything turned out smoothly and Angelica was so attentive to our needs and wants. Angelica was also prompt with getting back to me about any questions I (or my mother) had. The venue is classy and easily accommodated my 150 guests, but could definitely accommodate more. Staff were courteous and professional. I would 100% recommend this venue to everyone! Thanks so much, Angelica and staff, for making our wedding so magical!

Beautiful venue. Angelica is great to work with. The outside space was perfect for our ceremony and reception was the exact size for our 125 guest count. Dessert table, sweetheart table, greenery wall and “til death” sign were all worth the extra money!! There were only a few small details that were not ideal. Venue staff was not available much the week of to drop off items. While cleaning up, several items were broken and we were rushed out before double checking office area. Bridal ready area is in women's bathroom, so guests were coming in prior to ceremony. Also, no ready area for men aside normal restroom.

Our wedding was BEAUTIFUL at The Tangier. Working with Angelica was truly a blessing. She is an absolute pro at event planning and weddings. The Tangier has SO many in-house resources available that made our planning so much easier. Angelica has everything from table numbers to grass walls available in-house for such good deals. We were so turned off by the wedding planning process and so overwhelmed with the idea of working with so many vendors until we toured The Tangier and realized how easy Angelica made it. Angelica even saved the day when our DJ had tech issues and MC'd for us! She's seriously the best and I can't recommend this venue enough!

Loved having my wedding here! Angelica was super awesome from start to finish. She made sure I had everything the day of the wedding and made the place look absolutely beautiful! It’s all inclusive and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to get married.

I had my wedding at Tangier on 10/21/17. Tangier was SO easy to work with! We had our ceremony in the Wine Cellar and our intimate reception in the Casbah room. We worked with Angelica, and she was amazing! She was able to accommodate our every wish seamlessly!!! The food was amazing as well! Our wedding was everything we dreamed of! Thank you!!

We recently hosted our daughter's September 30th wedding in the Fountain Room at the Tangier. What a beautiful and magical experience it was! Everything was above and beyond our expectations. From the moment we met with Angelica, we knew that it would be a fabulous and memorable evening for all. Her attention to detail, vast experience and knowledge, and ability to embrace our vision left us feeling totally confident that all would go as planned. The Fountain Room is so architecturally beautiful and provides guests with a sense of historical significance and times gone past; so perfect for our Gatsby-themed reception. The multitude of choices for linens, centerpieces and tableware fit any theme and color scheme one can imagine. The food was absolutely amazing and the options of a chef-attended pasta bar and late-night snack feature was something we had never seen before and our guests absolutely loved them both! The bride and groom's request for a signature cocktail for the evening was graciously honored and masterfully done as well. All of the staff that evening were courteous and attentive and made us feel welcomed and special. The buffet lines moved very quickly with virtually no waiting, thanks to the competent and skillful staff and our guests were thrilled with the quality of the food. Overall, the Tangier is an exceptional, all-inclusive value that can accommodate practically any budget, and the end result is truly priceless. Angelica was with us every step of the way and we are so very grateful to her for making our event perfect in every way. We only wish it could have lasted all night, and we look forward to our next visit to the Tangier!

My husband and I had the most amazing wedding reception at the Tangier in the fountain room! The entire process was easy from the beginning working with Angelica and Lauren along the way. The week of we simply dropped off the additional decor we enhanced the evening with. They called and coordinated with all of our vendors making it a stress-free
