In 1892, the FirstEnergy Powerhouse was built to provide power for the Woodland and Westside Street Railway Company. The West Side Railroad Co. was the first Cleveland streetcar line to run west of the Cuyahoga River and carried passengers from Superior and Vineyard St. to the Flats, then across the river on the Center Street Bridge.
Celebrate in the heart of Cleveland's waterfront, with dazzling views of the City's skyline. With multiple rooms available, Window on the River can accommodate groups of any size with banquet and catering facilities that are perfect for weddings and receptions.

Wonderful the view is awesome the decorations beautiful. Thank you ODA for a filling dinner/ DJ for live music / family-friend pictures and overall fun for the kids. They loved it but just being at windows was worth the trip

The food was very well prepared. The servers were on top of getting the dinner to patrons quickly. The security staff was pleasant and helpful. The entire group made the wedding reception a very nice event. I was impressed.

I wish I could give a 4☆.
A little disappointed with this venue (sorry).
Since this was during COVID, I thought the venue would have spread guests out, 8 guests to a table is tight to begin with, would have been more appropriate if they took social distancing a little more seriously, over 200 on the guest list. They did make an announcement for guest to wear masks and if they did not have one they would be able to provide them.
I found slightly disappointing is the vegetarian meal, the pasta was boring & bland (however the grilled veg was delicious), a half twice baked potato was a compliment

Beautiful venue for any special occasion. 😊Our daughter was married here on July 30th The food was wonderful. Only downside which was heard by a few of our guests was that the AC could have been bumped a… little lower at the reception for the dancing. It was a little uncomfortable for those trying to dance. Other than that, it was a beautiful venue !!!!

AMAZING PLACE. We have only been here for the New years parties in the past. I recommend this since your party ticket includes a walk through the aquarium next door and open bar for drinks! We hope they host it to celebrate 2022!

Fantastic! Excellent food, prime rib PERFECT, almond green beans, garlic mashed potatoes and cheese cake. All with a beautiful view of the river and super servers. What better way could you find to treat yourself on a glorious day?!

My daughter has a contract with them for her wedding and was told she will get 100% back of her deposit due to the virus if she cancels by a certain date. Well, she decided to cancel cause there will be no dancing and no bar service. The venue never returned their calls and when they finally did, they only offered 50% back and said they never said that. Terrible business.

My daughter’s wedding 2-1-2020 was absolutely perfect. I can not find one thing that I was unhappy with. The service, kindness of staff, the food the venue were all above and beyond.

Went to a function here and it was the location was fantastic. Beautiful setting across from the Flats on the river, and gorgeous building with awesome finishes. Really nicely planned and design, the industrial feel still has a warm and welcoming feel. Tons of parking, water taxi to the Flats right outside, and very easy to find and get to. Highly recommend.

I attended a fantastic wedding celebration here. It's such a great place for an event. Actually the day of the event the venue had three wedding receptions going one on in the Aquarium one on the first floor and one at Windows on the River. The food and service were fantastic. The event I attended was magic --- created by the bridal party and their families and the members of the bridal party. I have attended several events at Windows and enjoyed them all.

Came for my nephew's wedding reception, loved it! So impressed with everything, and the views...? Wow. (helps that the weather was perfect) One minor drawback, a few servers were kinda rude, like we were ruining their nights by being there. Most, though, were excellent. Overall, it was a wonderful evening.
