A CLEVELAND WEDDING.
The city and suburbs of Cleveland hold a special place in our hearts and our story. Our friends call up two people when they are looking for a Cleveland hype person and that is "Lauren and...well, Greg LOL", Erlind loves the city as well!! Cleveland is known for its midwest charm showcasing a big-city vibe with small-town hospitality, while its suburbs offer eclectic neighborhoods and endless things to do.
We encourage you, if you have time, to visit a few of these places between the ceremony and reception or make a weekend trip out of our wedding and hit up all of the fun stuff below!
Enjoy a cocktail right across the River from our venue at The Lakehouse, formerly "Lindy's Lakehouse". Offering both indoor and outdoor seating and exceptional views of the water, there is plenty to check out at The Lakehouse and along the boardwalk of The Flats.
Some other good spots are Shooters, Glamper, and Margaritaville.
This is a nice little aquarium to visit and is located inside the same building as our venue! It will only take you about 45 minutes to get through. They have a ton of unique salt and freshwater tanks filled with amazing fish. They have touch tanks as well for those interested. The shark tunnel is great as well. A fun stop before heading upstairs to cocktail hour.
Make sure to share your name and let them know you are there for the "Lauren/Erlind Wedding" to receive complimentary tickets!
Visit one of Cleveland's best coffee shops and bar that will transport you to Italy! An absolute favorite for us (for obvious reasons) located just minutes from the venue. Grab a coffee or a glass of wine between the ceremony and cocktail hour.

The Great Lakes Science Center is a waterfront science, technology, and engineering museum. Located in the North Coast Harbor Dock adjacent to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this is a great place to hit up before cocktail hour at 5 pm.
Visit the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, also located in the North Coast Harbor Dock and dive into the world of legendary artists, groundbreaking music, and the cultural impact of rock and roll.
In 1985, when the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation was deciding where to open its physical museum, Cleveland threw its hat into the ring for consideration. Thanks to a groundswell of public support and a $65 million commitment from city officials, the Foundation chose Cleveland as the winning site, over cities such as New York, San Francisco, Memphis, and Chicago. Clevelanders have great pride in this iconic landmark!
Considered one of the top art museums in the nation, visit for an hour between the ceremony and reception. Renowned for the quality and breadth of its collection and home to world-class exhibitions, art education, performing arts, and the innovative Gallery One.
Cleveland's Little Italy neighborhood is a true GEM! Every spot in this pocket of Cleveland offers a different take on Italian cuisine and cultural ambience. Conveniently located right near University Circle, home to Cleveland's world-renowned museums, nationally recognized hospitals, beautiful parks and more!
A few of our favorite spots in this neighborhood include La Dolce Vita, Rosso Gelato, Mia Bella, Mount Granita Italian Ice, Corbo's Bakery, and Maxi's Bistro.
