1. Cleveland is perhaps best known for its sports teams and culture. As dedicated Cleveland sports fans ourselves, we highly recommend setting aside an evening to catch a Guardians baseball game at Progressive Field.

If you're staying in town beyond the wedding weekend, you’ll have plenty of chances to experience the excitement, as home games are scheduled nearly every day from August 25th to August 31st.

Tickets can be purchased here: Guardians.

2. If you’re a music lover, a visit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a must. Despite its name, this seven-story museum celebrates artists across all genres, showcasing their achievements, memorabilia, and lasting impact on music history.

Plan to spend at least 2–3 hours exploring, but if you want to dive into every exhibit, read all the stories, and interact with the displays, you could easily spend an entire day here. Adult tickets are $35 and can be purchased here: Rock Hall

3. Cleveland is home to the second-largest Broadway theater district in the country—and the world’s largest outdoor chandelier. The Playhouse Square district features 10 stunning theaters, each hosting its own productions, musicals, and special events.

For tickets and more information, visit Playhouse Square. Popular shows tend to sell out quickly, so if you find a performance and seat you love, don’t wait to book!

4. You might not expect it, but Cleveland has a beach! Edgewater Park and Beach, just five minutes from downtown, offers stunning views of the Cleveland skyline and easy access to Lake Erie. Whether you’re up for a swim is up to you, but we highly recommend taking a stroll through the area—and maybe even bringing a picnic to enjoy by the water.

5. The University Circle area, located about 15 minutes east of downtown, is home to several world-class museums. Our personal favorite is the Cleveland Museum of Art, which is free to explore and absolutely breathtaking.

If you have time, there are plenty of other incredible museums in the area worth visiting as well. You can find more information here: University Circle.

If you'd prefer to send a gift directly, feel free to use the mailing address listed on the return label of your invitation. But truly, your presence is the greatest gift we could ask for, we can't wait to celebrate with you.
