Ever witnessed an Arcade Wedding in Cleveland, Ohio? I don’t mean a place with video games and tokens (although adding that to my idea list if Woody and I ever renew our vows). It’s more the historic center of this Hyatt hotel in the heart of downtown. From getting ready to reception dancing, Annie and Eric had the definition of an Arcade Wedding.

The best part about this venue is that their typical “hotel ballroom” is not actually a ballroom. It’s a shopping center surrounded by storefronts and twinkle lights, with a ceiling completely of glass. The Arcade opened in 1890 and is also known as “Cleveland’s Crystal Palace”. It’s also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In addition to the history of this venue, the open space is ready for any couple’s vision. And, boy did Annie & Eric excel. Just scroll below! You’ll see a ceremony on those golden steps, a cocktail hour full of games, a pride parade going on in CLE (loved this little happenstance), and a reception full of energy and dancing! Add in cookies, a friend as the officiant, and a walk through Public Square: you’ve got yourself a Summer celebration! // xo
