There’s something magical about winter weddings—especially when they take place in one of Cleveland’s most iconic buildings. Bethany and Zack’s Cleveland wedding at the Arcade was a day full of romance, history, and meaningful moments that brought their closest people together under the sparkling lights of this historic venue.
The couple lives in West Virginia now, but Zack grew up in Cleveland, so it felt only fitting to come back here for their wedding. With friends and family traveling from near and far, the celebration was heartfelt, elegant, and full of joy from beginning to end.
A Grand Welcome in Downtown Cleveland
As guests stepped into The Arcade, the energy shifted. There’s nothing quite like this venue—it’s a stunning mix of old-world charm and downtown glamour. The glass ceiling, iron balconies, and golden lights created a warm, cozy glow that made you forget it was winter outside.
Bethany and Zack wanted their wedding to feel like a reunion, and they pulled it off beautifully. So many guests traveled in for the big day, and The Arcade made them feel right at home, with plenty of room to gather, mingle, and soak in the excitement.
A Love Story in the Heart of the City
The ceremony took place under the soaring architecture of The Arcade’s atrium. The winter light streamed in through the glass roof, casting a soft glow on Bethany’s dress as she walked down the aisle. There was something about that moment—quiet, reverent, and full of emotion—that felt sacred.
Zack’s reaction as he saw her? Completely priceless.
Weddings at The Arcade in Cleveland have this timeless quality to them. There’s elegance in every detail, from the vintage woodwork to the layered balconies above. It was the perfect backdrop for Bethany and Zack’s classic, romantic style.
Cozy Vibes and Big Celebrations
Once the “I dos” were said, the real party began. Guests enjoyed drinks and dinner beneath dozens of twinkle lights, and the laughter was nonstop. Every detail of the reception—candles, table settings, soft winter florals—was thoughtfully designed, but never felt overdone. Just cozy, inviting, and full of love.
And the dance floor? Absolutely packed from the first song on. One of our favorite moments was seeing guests two-stepping near the vintage railings while Bethany and Zack stole a few quiet moments on the balcony above.
