The Elliot: A Hidden Gem For a Picture Perfect Wedding

Best Wedding Venue: The Elliot

At The Elliot, a seemingly typical Tremont neo-Byzantine church, houses a flexible event space that’s bright and airy, converted to accommodate everything from micro weddings to 200 people events. Historical details, like the border of an intricate rose-themed stained-glass window and the stained glass in the bell towers, were left intact, while the basement hides a sleek speakeasy where guests can convene for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. The Elliot offers creative Cleveland couples the perfect space to craft a wedding that reflects their personalities.  

“We want to change the wedding game and give couples a brand-new experience,” says owner Stephanie Ridgely. “We’re starting to see people move away from the very traditional type of wedding — now it’s more important to make sure your guests are having a good time.” 

Her tips? “Add personal touches everywhere so you walk away remembering the day is about you.”
