September 2, 2025 – Cleveland State University Conference and Event Services has launched a new public-facing brand for its events business: Events at CSU. The new brand reflects a simple promise: every event hosted at CSU should feel like an experience worth remembering.
CSU has long been a place where people come together: student galas in the Student Center, academic conferences, corporate meetings, weddings in Mather Mansion, and performances that add to downtown Cleveland’s vibrant culture. With this rebrand, we’re not just putting a new name on familiar services. We’re reinventing what the event experience is like at Cleveland State, and inviting local, regional, and national event organizers and the community to host their events with us.
One-Stop Event Destination
Our spaces are part of Cleveland’s story. Mather Mansion offers historic elegance and is one of the most distinctive wedding venues in Cleveland. Modern ballrooms and bright atriums showcase the city’s spirit of renewal. Performance halls, like Waejten Auditorium, and meeting rooms provide the flexibility to host everything from corporate retreats to community celebrations.
But venues are just the start. Events at CSU is a one-stop destination for essential event planning in Cleveland, offering full-service support that makes the process smooth and stress-free. Our services include catering, A/V technology, logistics, lodging, and on-site coordination. For groups looking for something different, CSU also offers exclusive access to wellness and recreation add-ons through the Rec Center, like team-building activities, wellness services, and fitness classes. Together with our eclectic mix of unique venues, from modern to historic, we help our clients create a truly unforgettable event experience.
Rooted in Cleveland
Events at CSU’s collection of venues run the gamut: beautiful, unique, functional, and eclectic. But they’re also a reflection of our city. Cleveland thrives on creativity, grit, and connection. We bring those same qualities into every event we host on behalf of our clients.
“Every event here should feel like more than just a gathering,” said Jason Mandula, Senior Assistant Director of Conference & Event Services. “Cleveland is a city of energy and creativity, and we want Events at CSU to reflect that spirit in everything we do.”
When our clients and guests book an event with us, they connect with the heart of downtown Cleveland and a community that values tradition, innovation, and belonging. Each event adds to the vibrancy of Cleveland and strengthens the ties between CSU and the city around it.
A Brand Grounded in Community
The launch of Events at CSU marks an exciting step forward. It’s a chance to reintroduce CSU as a destination for local, regional, and national conferences and performances, weddings, community gatherings, and celebrations of all kinds. It’s also a reminder of the role CSU plays as a community hub — a place where ideas, people, and communities come together.
