The entire experience from start to finish with The Elliot was a breeze. They were beyond professional, flexible, communicated often & it was truly such a wonderful experience. We were able to create the perfect vision because of the stunning venue with multiple options. Cocktail hour was held is the Rosehip Room, downstairs of the venue, which made everything super convenient, no changing locations. Thank you so much!

Had our wedding here a few weeks ago. First place we looked at and fell in love immediately. Every bit as beautiful as the photos make it out to be. On top of that, amazing people to work with. Coordinated with all vendors seamlessly. Didn't think it was possible, but the process couldn't have been less stressful. And the wedding went off without a hitch. Huge kudos to Katie Mang who coordinated everything. Incredibly kind, empathetic, and patient. Thanks again for a wonderful experience.
We chose to have our daughter's wedding at the Elliot because of the professionalism encountered on our first meeting. Stephanie Ridgely, owner of the Elliot was gracious and capable. On our tour she explained the history of the building and how she and her husband transformed it into the beautiful venue that it is.
Since our daughter lives in Seattle and the wedding was here in CLE, Stephanie and Katie Mang (wedding coordinator) made the process of creating a wonderful experience for all involved as smooth as possible.
The multitude of compliments from family and friends are a direct result of their excellence!
I held my wedding at The Elliot on 12/30/2023. If you are looking for an elegant wedding venue with a top-notch team, look no further. The Elliot is a breathtaking space that features a huge crystal chandelier, a beautiful stained glass window, and the coziest speakeasy bar in the basement. We were able to keep our decor pretty simple because the space shines on its own. We held our ceremony in the main space then our guests went to the basement bar for cocktail hour all while The Elliot and catering staff flipped the main space into the reception. It created a great guest experience having everything under one roof, especially since our wedding was in December. The staff are beyond excellent as well. Katie was our day-of coordinator but she went above and beyond in her role. She was extremely responsive, thoughtful, capable, and overall pleasant to work with. She kept the day organized and moving along appropriately. I do not have enough good things to say about her! I seriously cannot recommend The Elliot enough. It was the wedding venue of my dreams!!
We couldn’t recommend The Elliot more if we tried! We’ve been with Stephanie and her vision since we met early 2021 at the Cleveland Wedding Show. We loved her dedication to restoring the building as an events space while honoring its rich history, and the before and after pictures she’s shared on Instagram are proof!
We were honored to work closely with Stephanie for our wedding 7-30-22 at The Elliot. Everything was as elegant and perfect as could be. From the balcony to the cocktail space in the basement, we were floored by the beauty and ease of our event. Thank you for being part of our story!
