Planning a wedding in Cleveland means choosing from more places than almost anywhere in Ohio. This guide covers 318 wedding venues in 70 towns across Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga and Lorain counties, from downtown and University Circle out to Lakewood, Westlake, Strongsville, Solon, Mentor and Chardon, and along the Lake Erie shore from Vermilion to Madison. You'll find cathedrals and neighborhood parish churches, grand downtown halls, museums, hotels and clubs, lakefront restaurants, barns and wineries, and the Metroparks where couples go for their wedding photos and video.

Many couples here hold a church wedding ceremony in the afternoon and a reception at a hall, hotel or club that evening. Others want everything in one place, and plenty of the venues on this list can host your ceremony, your pictures and your reception without anyone getting back in the car. Leave time in your timeline for traffic between the east and west sides, and for a stop at the lake for pictures.

Use the filters to narrow the list by type of venue or by town. Each venue has its own page with a description, contact details and directions, and real wedding photos and videos from local photographers and videographers as they add their work.

Church wedding venues in the Cleveland area

A church wedding ceremony is still the tradition for many Cleveland couples, and the city has some remarkable ones. The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist downtown is the mother church of the Diocese of Cleveland, Old Stone Church is the oldest building on Public Square, and Trinity Cathedral on Euclid Avenue is a Gothic cathedral of Indiana limestone. Many Catholic parishes ask you to get in touch six months or more before your wedding day, and some churches welcome only members or couples with a connection to the parish, so call early and ask.

Banquet halls and event centers for your wedding reception

Cleveland's halls and museums give a wedding reception a real sense of place. Windows on the River fills the FirstEnergy Powerhouse on the Flats with the river and skyline outside, the Cleveland Museum of Art hosts weddings in its glass-roofed atrium, and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame opens after hours with a patio over Lake Erie. Across the suburbs, banquet centers like Landerhaven in Mayfield Heights handle dinner and dancing for very large guest lists.

Barn, farm and winery wedding venues

For a country or garden wedding, look east to Lake and Geauga counties or south and west to Lorain County. Sapphire Creek Winery & Gardens in Chagrin Falls holds ceremonies in its gardens, Lake Metroparks Farmpark in Kirtland is a working farm on 235 acres, and Grand Pacific Junction in Olmsted Falls spreads across a Victorian chapel, a restored hotel and a creekside garden pavilion.

Hotel, club and resort wedding venues

Hotels and clubs keep the day easy for guests coming from out of town. The Hyatt Regency at The Arcade puts your reception under a glass roof about 100 feet up, Severance Music Center welcomes guests through its marble Grand Foyer, and Punderson Manor Lodge in Newbury sits beside a kettle lake inside a state park. Country clubs across the area host ceremonies on their grounds, though some ask for a member to sponsor the event.

Parks and gardens for your ceremony and wedding photos

Parks are where many Cleveland couples go for their wedding photos and video, and several host ceremonies. Cleveland Metroparks issues ceremony permits for spots like Squire's Castle in North Chagrin Reservation, Bridal Veil Falls in Bedford Reservation and Edgewater Beach with the skyline on the horizon, and the Cleveland Cultural Gardens line Rockefeller Park. Park ceremonies need a permit and usually have limits on guests and sound, so read each venue's page before you plan.

Next: find someone who has worked at your venue

Once you have a venue in mind, look for photographers and videographers who have already worked there. They'll know where the light falls in the church, how long the drive from the ceremony to the reception really takes, and which spots on the grounds work best for wedding photos and video. Every venue page shows the local photographers and videographers with work from that place.
