About Us

The Everly is more than just a venue; we’re also staffed with an excellent team willing and able to partner with clients to guide, support, and develop their desired gathering.

Who We Are

A landlord who believed in an extraordinary building met a couple who dreamed of running a venue where people felt cherished and celebrated. The alignment of values sparked magic, and The Everly was born!

When Steve Passov purchased the building in Mentor, he envisioned a place where the community would gather in unique ways: A blank space where any kind of event could happen. Through the perfect sequence of events, he was connected to Meghan and Adam Delange, both with robust experience in the events and hospitality industry. The synchronicity was immediate. Little did Steve know that Meghan and Adam used to drive past the building and dream about making it their own.

This team was formed on an alignment of values, equipped with specialized skills, and focused on a new, shared mission:

To create a completely customizable space to the needs and vision of each client. The Everly team was intentional and selective as they surrounded themselves with preferred vendors who operate at the highest level, ensuring the quality of every facet of the gatherings to be held there.

With the business and property experience of Steve Passov and the hospitality qualifications of the DeLanges, excellence is always at the forefront. But as the chemistry has grown, the expansiveness of the dreams have too. The Everly is so much more than a venue. It’s a place to gather, to be seen and cared for, and to have a creative, wonderfully immersive experience every time.

Your event should be utterly unforgettable, deeply romantic, exquisitely beautiful, and entirely “you”.
