A big, grand wedding isn’t the right fit for every couple, which is absolutely fine! Today, more than ever, intimate elopements can be just as beautiful, romantic, and luxurious as a large wedding. But finding the
right setting is still an important part of setting the tone and aesthetic for your wedding day. Here are five
gorgeous locations to consider for your Cleveland elopement.
Rockefeller Park Greenhouse is every plant lover’s dream venue for a Cleveland elopement. It’s a city-
owned botanical garden and greenhouse that features seasonal floral displays and colorful themed gardens. The Greenhouse is home to various lush greenery and vibrant flowers for a truly tropical look. Plenty of filtered natural light streams in from greenhouse ceiling panels and a long aisle lined with
beautiful plants. It’s also a great spot for gorgeous elopement photos! Check out a recent elopement here.
Holden Arboretum and Cleveland Botanical Gardens are two exquisite venues for a beautiful outdoor
elopement. With tall, stately groves of trees and acres of spectacular gardens, you can hardly ask for a more beautiful place to say “I do.” They even offer a specific package just for Cleveland elopements! If you decide to celebrate with loved ones following your elopement, they have a variety of rooms available for rent. Otherwise, just take some time to meander around the gorgeous property hand-in-hand with your new spouse!
The Elliot, once the Holy Ghost Byzantine Catholic Church, has several beautiful and unique spaces for a Cleveland elopement. Their ballroom is a spacious, grand room that will still contribute elegance and grandeur to an intimate ceremony. They also have a speakeasy-inspired room known as the Rosehip
Room that features a center stage ideal for a quiet, cozy vow exchange. Afterward, you may even be able
to celebrate with a specialty cocktail and lounge in some of their vintage furniture as you bask in the glow of your elopement.
If you’re dreaming of a beachfront Cleveland elopement, look no further than Huntington Beach & Reservation. Located in Bay Village on the shores of Lake Eerie, this spot offers beautiful lakeside views and a rocky bluff that stretches out into the water. Dig your toes into the sand and take in the beautiful surrounding wildlife as you promise forever to your favorite person on the shore.
Perhaps the most appropriately named elopement site, Bridal Veil Falls Scenic Overlook, is a collection of gorgeous cascading waterfalls. Deerlick Creek offers some gorgeous views, and these short, choppy falls are a beautiful backdrop for a Cleveland elopement. Surrounded by forests of hardwoods and
hemlocks, it’s a secluded and wooded spot with plenty of mystery and romance. It’s a popular spot for
good reason, so plan to visit early in the morning or on a weekday to reduce the chance of bumping into
crowds.
If you’re looking for the perfect location for a small, intimate vow exchange, these spots are absolutely perfect for a Cleveland elopement. Don’t forget to bring along a photographer (hi, that’s me!) to capture every moment of your beautiful day! I have plenty of experience photographing elopements and would
love to be a part of yours. Let’s connect!
