We wanted to get it done before the end of the year and we thought the best time to do it was right before the holiday! Plus, we met face to face for the first time on December 22, 2015 so the date holds a special place in our heart. But we also realize that this might not be best for others and we totally understand that. We want no one to change their travel plans for the holidays to attend. So, if you are unable to attend, we will not be offended. This will be a low key celebration with those that we love. It will not be your typical wedding reception... no dancing, no loud music, no garter belt. We will wrap up around 7 and if you want to continue the party at another downtown establishment, we are game!

Well besides being the Jewel on Main Street in Akron, it holds a special place in our heart. Long recognized among the community’s cultural landmarks, the Akron Civic Theatre has a rich and spectacular history. It has provided the community with a venue for quality entertainment and live performances for over seventy years. During that time, hundreds of thousands of people have been thrilled by various theatrical presentations, both on stage and on screen. The theater was built in 1929 by Marcus Loew and designed by famed theater architect, John Eberson. The interior structure was fashioned after a Moorish castle featuring Mediterranean decor, including medieval carvings, authentic European antiques and Italian alabaster sculptures. Among facilities of its size, the Civic is one of only five remaining atmospheric theaters in the country where patrons experience a twinkling star-lit sky and intermittent clouds moving across the horizon, all while sitting inside the auditorium.

After the ceremony, we will host a cocktail reception. There will be plenty of appetizers as well as cake and a cookie table! If you require a bigger meal, have some snacks before you come!

We would recommend BLU-Tique Hotel Akron. BLU-Tique Akron, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, is more than a color, it's an attitude; an attitude of gratitude.
