You've set a date and booked your dream wedding venue in Cleveland. Congratulations! Next, it's time to find the best wedding photographers, videographers, and entertainment. You're probably wondering how to choose the right wedding vendors for your personal style and feel reassured they'll do the job they promised, producing the results you expect from their samples, portfolios, and playlists.
Imagine how much easier it would be to plan your wedding if you could bundle your wedding DJ, photographer, and videographer as a package deal, with the confidence you would feel if they were referred by a trusted friend. That is what we offer you at Direct Entertainment: Exciting, experienced, and professional Cleveland wedding vendors who will deliver all the wonderful memories without the stress and hassle. Find professional services at very reasonable prices — with the assurances of working with a reputable wedding event services company — by calling us today at (216) 539-5552.
Your family and guests will be excited to join you in this vibrant, exciting, yet affordable town with big-city amenities and attractions with a more laid-back, family-friendly appeal. When you book your most important wedding vendors with Direct Entertainment, you will have a lot of time (and money!) left over to turn your Cleveland wedding into a multi-day adventure.
There are hotels and short-term rentals in Cleveland to suit every budget, and you're likely to find plenty of options near your ceremony or reception. We suggest hotels that offer shuttle service to and from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, just nine miles southwest of downtown. Our wedding photographers and videographers are always happy to recommend hotels with the most photogenic spaces for getting-ready and "first look" photos!
Many popular venues offer catering, decoration, and floral services through in-house staff or preferred vendors to power you through your wedding plans. If booking your wedding entertainment, videographer, and photographer with us, though, you'll have more time for taste testing should you choose your other vendors à la carte. Cleveland's proximity to some of North America's richest farmland and its reputation as the Midwest's favorite cultural hotspot makes it a culinary hotspot, deliciously reflected in the abundance of catering options. As for wedding cakes and confections? For a mid-sized city, Cleveland boasts a broad selection of artisan bakeries.
What's your wedding aesthetic? There's a Cleveland-area wedding venue that will bring your favorite Pinterest board to life whatever your personal style: Bohemian, modern, traditional, and everything in between. The examples below are only a sampling of the dozens of wedding venues popular with Cleveland brides — and our team of wedding videographers and photographers — who will make certain your chosen setting and decor enhance your wedding story memories.
Friends who haven't seen one another in years, and families who treat weddings as the inspiration for an extended reunion might want to plan group activities before or after your wedding date. Your bridal party and closest relatives might decide to ditch pre-wedding traditions ("ladies teas" and "gentlemen's golf") to do things as a group, especially if kids are part of the festivities.
We've already mentioned the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, the latter being the crown jewel of a network of improved trails, lakefront parks, and a stunning public golf course. There are automobile, aviation, and space museums, the world-renowned Cleveland Orchestra, and just an hour away the 150-year-old Cedar Point amusement park. There's something for everyone to enjoy at their own pace, or as a group.
If you're planning a rehearsal dinner or are just taking a crowd out on the town, Hofbrauhaus Cleveland is a local favorite for a fun, casual atmosphere and authentic German food. For a more upscale, "foodie" experience at an unexpectedly affordable price, Table 45 at the InterContinental Cleveland offers indoor and outdoor seating for large groups. Smaller dinner parties might want to duck into a locally-owned downtown bistro or wine bar, or capitalize on the rock & roll party theme with a trip to Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, or the local House of Blues.
You want to spend your week living in the moment and enjoying your guests' company, and your loved ones want to feel they're part of the celebration while empowered to do their own thing. Simple steps toward advance planning make weddings hassle-free and more fun for everyone. Enlist a trusted friend or family member to act as a concierge for your guests, organizing public (or private) group transportation and reservations. Some restaurants offer special pricing for pre-selected menu items, and most require (f not appreciate) advance reservations for large groups. Some attractions offer special tours, admission rates, and picnic facilities for larger parties.
