Cleveland Museum of Art

A Museum in University Circle, Cleveland, Ohio

11150 East Blvd, Cleveland, OH 44106

The crown jewel of Cleveland’s cultural life, the Cleveland Museum of Art boasts art collections in the country. With the completion of the new East and West wings and Atrium, the museum is back in the business of hosting events after a very long hiatus.

The South Terrace can serve as one of the most breathtaking ceremony locations in the city and the surrounding Wade Park provides limitless opportunities to create stunning portraits on the wedding day. The new Atrium, with it’s soaring glass ceiling, provides all the space you could want for a reception. With clever placement of floral decor and draping, the space can be made to feel as large and grand or as small and intimate as you like.

Ceremonies in the Atrium

Indoor ceremonies often take place in the west end of the Atrium near the restaurant.  This space is separated from the central area where receptions usually take by some indoor landscaping.  This means that the ceremony and reception can both be set up ahead of time so there is no need to “flip” the space between the ceremony and reception.  The glass ceiling lets in plenty of natural light during the day for an open airy feel, or the lights can come down during an evening reception for a romantic candle lit ambiance.
