A Winter Wedding at the Old Cleveland Courthouse

Nicole and Jonathan set out to make their wedding a fun, stress free and relaxed day for them, their bridal party, family, and all of their guests.  We have found over the years that the best way for a couple to accomplish that is to simply lead by example, and that was exactly what Nicole and Jonathan did.

Nicole and Jonathan gathered with their bridesmaids and groomsmen in the conference rooms at the newly renovated Ritz Carlton in Cleveland.  They settled into rooms right next to each other with an amazing spread of appetizers and snacks in the common area just outside for everyone to enjoy.  Jonathan managed the seemingly impossible when he showed up with a bottle of Weller Antique 107 for each of his groomsmen.  Anyone who has been paying attention to the bourbon market recently would appreciate what a rare and beautiful thing that was.

Jonathan and his groomsmen shared stories from their time serving over seas in the military as they sipped on Weller while Nicole and her bridesmaids shared mimosas while their hair and makeup was being done.   We really appreciated this time at the Ritz where we could get to know everyone involved before the main events of the day took place at the courthouse.

The Old Courthouse on Lakeside Avenue provided all the needed ambiance for a beautiful and intimate ceremony, cocktail hour and reception for Jonathan and Nicole.  The guests all seemed to have an amazing time and there was no shortage of excitement the dance floor, as you can see in the images below.

Jonathan and Nicole – thank you so much for making us a part of your story and we can’t wait to show you what we have created for you!  Below are some of our favorites from the day.  Enjoy!

One man stands speaking and holding a microphone, while the other two sit and listen attentively, seated near a dining table with plates and glasses at a wedding ceremony. A stylist works on a woman's hair in a dimly lit room, highlighted by bright wall sconces creating a dramatic silhouette effect. The woman is seated, holding a glass of wine, at an upscale salon in Canton. Black and white photo of four men in a well-lit reception room, three sitting and one standing, all dressed in formal attire; the atmosphere is jovial as they share a light-hearted moment. Silhouette of a man standing near a window with the Akron city skyline in the background, visible through the window. He appears to be looking at or adjusting his cufflink.
