Nakeisha and Dave’s wedding at The Elliot was the definition of timeless elegance with a modern edge. Set on a glowing September day in Cleveland, the couple curated an experience that felt both intimate and grand, effortlessly guiding guests through each stunning space the venue has to offer. From start to finish, every moment was intentional, stylish, and full of heart.
The day began with the bridal party getting ready in The Elliot’s Rosehip Room, a space as trendy as it is charming. A soft pink statement couch set the scene for effortlessly chic getting-ready photos, while Nakeisha’s look came together flawlessly. Her gown fit her perfectly, featuring a sophisticated high neckline that exuded classic bridal beauty. She completed the look with pearl heels-an elegant nod to timeless style. Dave looked equally sharp in a sleek black tux, a refined complement to the day’s elevated aesthetic.
Their first look and ceremony took place upstairs, framed by The Elliot’s iconic stained glass window, creating a breathtaking and romantic backdrop for the couple’s “I do.” Afterward, the bridal party was treated to a celebratory champagne tower-an unforgettable way for the wedding party to toast the newlyweds. The Rosehip Room made another appearance for couple’s portraits, where Nakeisha and Dave shared a quiet cocktail together, soaking in the joy of just-married bliss.
Taking advantage of the gorgeous late-summer weather, the couple stepped outside for sun-kissed portraits-proof that September is truly one of the best times to get married in Cleveland. The celebration continued in The Elliot’s main reception space, where long tables, a dramatic staircase, and the venue’s iconic chandelier created a striking, unforgettable setting.
What we love most about Nakeisha and Dave’s wedding is how thoughtfully it flowed through every corner of The Elliot. Each space told part of their story, taking guests from one beautiful moment to the next while showcasing the venue’s versatility and charm. A seamless blend of classic elegance and modern romance, this wedding was truly one for the books.
