FAQ
How do I get to Windows?
Shuttle service will be provided from downtown.
Guest can also drive in and park in the 1,200-space surface lot, but be sure to have a designated driver if consuming alcohol. Parking fees apply.
Taxis or rideshare companies (i.e. Uber or Lyft) also operate in Cleveland and are a quick and convenient option.
While Windows is only a mile away from the Hilton downtown/Marriott at Key/Cleveland Public Auditorium, it is not recommended to walk. It is quite steep and uneven, amidst industrial space.
How will I know where to go?
There is only one main entrance! Go right through the front doors.
Do I have to reserve a full table in the Bridge View Room?
You have the option of reserving a full table or to purchase individual seats. All ticket sales are done through Eventbrite. You will be able to open up the seating map. Table numbers are provided so that you can coordinate planning with your friends, but actual table layout is subject to change pending final attendance numbers.
Can I buy tickets at the door?
The deadline for ticket sales is June 10, so that we can provide a headcount to the chefs.
If you would like a dance only ticket, you can purchase day of at the door.
Will the aquarium be open again on Sunday night?
For now aquarium access is planned for the Friday night Welcome event only, but we will consider renting it again for Sunday night depending on attendance demographics at the banquet as well as public interest and demand!
