FAQs
Question
WHAT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE TO THE CEREMONY?
Answer
To make sure you’re all set for the 5:00 p.m. ceremony, we recommend arriving at least 15 minutes early to get settled in. If you’re catching the shuttle from Cleveland Marriott East, it’ll be rolling out at 4:00 p.m.—so don’t miss the ride!
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Think garden party meets cocktail hour—picture sundresses that dance in the breeze and light suits that say "I’m here to celebrate”. It’s all about looking chic and polished while embracing those outdoor vibes. So, dress to impress, but make sure you can still twirl on the dance floor!
Question
will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The ceremony will be set against a stunning waterfront backdrop. Afterward, during cocktail hour, you can mix and mingle either under the open sky or in the cozy charm of the manor house. As for the reception, we'll be taking the party indoors at the onsite reception venue to keep the good times rolling!

Question
I can’t decide what to list as my meal choice. What meals would you recommend?
Answer
If you're stuck in a delicious dilemma, I'd say go for the dried-fruit stuffed pork loin or the pan-seared salmon with dill cream sauce—they're absolute crowd-pleasers. But honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the four options.
Question
Hot spots in the area to kill some free time?
Answer
Nestled in the heart of all the action, Cleveland Marriott East puts you just steps away from our go-to spots. Pinecrest is practically your neighbor, offering up a blend of chic shopping, cozy coffee bars, and delicious dining. When hunger strikes, you can’t go wrong with RH Rooftop, Kitchen Social, or The Last Page—trust me, your taste buds will thank you. Need a caffeine fix? Heartwood Roasters is the spot. And for a little fun with your food, roll over to Pinstripes for some bowling and bocce with an Italian-American twist. For a charming detour, Chagrin Falls is calling—grab a bite at 17 River Grille, M Italian, or JoJos.
