Madelyn and Colton wanted a venue that exudes sophistication and offers breathtaking views for their New Year’s Eve wedding. When they found the St. Clair Ballroom in downtown Cleveland they knew this would be their dream location. Located in the heart of the city, this stunning venue has floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light during the day and offer panoramic views of downtown Cleveland, Lake Erie, and beyond. Since the weather outside was crazy (rain + wind!) we used the ballroom for the first look and it was *perfect*.

In the Heart of Downtown

One of the unique advantages of getting married at the St. Clair Ballroom is its prime location. Situated in the heart of downtown Cleveland, the venue is surrounded by beautiful old building and iconic landmarks which offers beautiful and diverse backdrops for photos. We had a break in the rain and decided to utilize the mall area out front for bridal party portraits and couples photos. Then we walked a short distance to the Cleveland Public Library for some intimate couples photographs.

City Skyline

And when the lights go low, you have a front row seat to the city’s skyline. It was a magical backdrop for their first dance and counting down to the new year.
