About Fine Arts Garden at Wade Lagoon

A wedding at the Fine Arts Garden at Wade Lagoon in Cleveland's University Circle gives you water, sculpture and a museum front all in one frame. The lagoon stretches out below the south terrace of the Cleveland Museum of Art, with the Fountain of the Waters, statues of the twelve zodiac signs and bronze figures at either end of the terrace. It's a classic setting for wedding photos and wedding video, with the white museum front reflected in the water on a still day.

University Circle suggests the garden for a stroll, a picnic or a wedding, and couples use it for a small wedding ceremony or for portraits between the church and the reception. Your photographer can work along the paths and benches by the lagoon, at the fountain, and from the top of the museum's south terrace, which looks down over the whole garden. Next door, the Smith Family Gateway adds seven acres of paths and overlooks along Doan Brook for quieter pictures.

The garden is a public park, open from dawn to dusk, so plan around other visitors. An early-morning or late-afternoon visit usually means softer light and fewer people in the background, and for a ceremony your videographer will want a plan for wind and city sound, since there's no building to hold the voices in. University Circle's busy streets are close by, so think about where guests will park and how long the walk is.

Contact University Circle (216-421-7340) about permits or reservations before planning a wedding ceremony here.
Pick a backup indoor spot in case of rain on your wedding day.
Ask the museum about photo and video guidelines if you'd like pictures on its terraces or lawns.

A little about the Fine Arts Garden at Wade Lagoon

Before the museum, Wade Park had a lake for boating and skating. The area sat untended for years after the museum was built, until the Garden Club of Cleveland formed a committee in 1923 to raise money and have the Fine Arts Garden designed.
