How to shop Cleveland venues

Ask about the season. The Elliot prices January to April lower than May to December, and Gordon Green offers off-season pricing from December to March.

Read the catering rules. Gordon Green and some downtown venues require their own caterers and bar; many farm venues let you bring your own.

Check the lake. Lakefront and riverfront venues are the city's signature, but have a covered or indoor plan. Our venue tour questions cover what to ask.

Our venue checklist covers the rest of the shopping list, and what a wedding venue costs explains how venue pricing is structured.
