& meeting with the team
Once you have signed a contract, you will work with our events management team to prepare for your event. We help you select a beverage package & bar selections and connect you with other vendors.
We will work with you to schedule a walkthrough with you and the caterer to finalize your layout and schedule. This is typically around 30 to 60 days prior to your event, but we are happy to schedule earlier, as needed.
Clients may schedule meetings (in person or virtually) using the calendar link below or by coordinating a time directly. If scheduling several meetings, you will be directed to attend the weekly open house hours.
Schedule a Meeting: https://calendly.com/katie-theelliot
Text, call, or email your planning questions to katie@TheElliotCle.com or 216-220-7161.

The Elliot is open to the public every Tuesday from 3-6 PM. These are great opportunities for you to meet with your vendors,* stop by for measurements, show your friends or family who have yet to see the venue, or even practice your first dance!
No appointments are required, but please note that time with our events management team is not guaranteed.
Open House will be canceled for walk-ins on November 25th and December 30th.

What is the dress code for your bartenders?
Our bartenders are required to wear all black, with hair pulled back and closed-toed shoes. Sleeveless and spaghetti-strapped tops are not permitted.
Can I bring in outside alcohol?
Per Ohio ABC laws, all alcoholic beverages must be purchased and provided by The Elliot. No alcoholic beverages can be brought into a licensed area from outside sources. Violation of this policy will first result in a warning. Repeated offenses will result in a $500 fine and possible removal from the event.
Can I substitute an item on the beer stock list?
Pending availability through our distributors, you are welcome to substitute a beer, wine, or liquor brand on our list with a brand of your choice. The requested item must be of similar price and will incur a $50 stocking fee. Requested items of dissimilar price may incur an additional charge.
How do signature drinks work?
Signature drinks are a great way to add a personal touch to your bar package. If desired, clients can add up to two signature drinks to their package. If the ingredients of the selected drinks are included in the client’s beverage package, no additional charges will apply – we just need to know so we can prep the bar accordingly! If ingredients are not included with your package, additional charges will apply. A list of our favorite drinks and their prices can be found here: Bar Stock & Signature Drinks
Please contact Katie Mang at katie@theelliotcle.com for specific pricing information and refer to your agreement for deadlines.
Do you serve non-alcoholic drinks or mocktails?
Our bartenders can create a variety of mocktails with the soft drinks and mixers provided with our bar packages. You are welcome to add a non-alcoholic beverage that is not on our list to our package. Please inquire for pricing.
Alternatively, you are welcome to provide a couple of cases or bottles of non-alcoholic beverages to be served by our bartenders during your event at no additional charge.
Can I provide my own garnishes, juices, etc.?
Of course! Clients are welcome to supply their own non-alcoholic drinks & mixers with prior approval.
If I have the Taphouse package, can I add a cash bar for liquor?
Absolutely! Our guest-pay bar is cashless and accepts all major credit cards, Apple Pay & Google Pay. We will stock liquor, mixers, and garnishes and serve classic cocktails and mixed drinks at market rates for your guests to purchase. Our liquors include Vodka, Gin, Tequila, Rum, Whiskey, and Scotch. Pricing can be found here: The Elliot’s Cash Bar Menu
What time does the bar close?
Last call will be announced 30 minutes prior to the end of your event. Service will end 5 minutes prior to the end of your event.
Do I have to provide bar signage and what do I need to include on it?
Bar signage is not required but is encouraged to add personality to your event – especially if you are serving signature drinks! Bar signage should include signature drinks or the list of drinks chosen for your beverage package.
If you do not provide signage, The Elliot will display a list of our classic cocktails (cosmo, old fashioned, manhattan, dirty martini, and margarita).
How does tipping work?
Our bartenders accept cash and Venmo tips during service and will display tip jars and QR codes.
If you'd like to tip our bartenders on behalf of your guests, let us know and guests will be notified that gratuity has been graciously covered by their host. Removing tip jars from the bar requires a payment of 15% of your final beverage package, paid via cash or check.
Payment can be made via check or cash and will be due before the start of your event.ADDITIONAL WEDDING CLIENT RESOURCES

Say, “I do,” in Lincoln Park.
The Elliot is located across the street from Tremont’s beloved Lincoln Park. Adorned with 8 acres of lush trees, blooming hydrangeas & a charming gazebo, Lincoln Park offers the perfect backdrop for your wedding ceremony.
Dependent on availability, you can decide to host your ceremony at Lincoln Park and we will arrange the permit for you!
Clients hosting their reception at The Elliot must request the permit at least 45 days prior to the event - but sooner is better! In case of inclement weather, a “plan b” must be prepared with The Elliot.
For additional coordination & setup services, please contact us.
LINCOLN PARK CEREMONIES
How much does a park-use permit cost?
Permits are complimentary. We will apply for a permit on your behalf, free of charge.
When is the application due?
If you wish to host your ceremony at Lincoln Park, requests must be submitted no later than 45 days prior to your wedding. Approval is dependent on the availability of the City of Cleveland and the Lincoln Park space.
The City of Cleveland accepts permit applications no earlier than the beginning of the calendar year in which the permit is being requested.
Where in the park can we host our ceremony?
Aside from the playground and pool, there are no restrictions on where you may host your ceremony. Please note that, as a public park, noise cannot be controlled.
Does Lincoln Park have electricity?
Electricity is available on the south side of the gazebo.
Who is responsible for ordering chairs and setting up/tearing down the ceremony space?
The client is responsible for ordering chairs and arranging setup and teardown of the space, including chairs, décor, and any items that need to be moved to The Elliot.
Chairs can be ordered through your caterer or any local rental company. For recommendations or setup and teardown packages, please contact us.
What “Plan B” options do I have if weather is bad?
Up to 2 weeks prior: You may decide to move the ceremony indoors for a $500 ceremony fee. This includes an additional hour and a ceremony rehearsal -- date and time dependent on availability.
Up to 24 hours prior: You may opt for a “California-style” indoor ceremony. This option includes 30 additional minutes but does not include a rehearsal.
What is “California-style?”
In this setup, guests remain seated at their reception tables during the ceremony. A few rows of chairs may be set up in front of the ceremony location for the wedding party and immediate family.
Want to keep celebrating without relocating to a second location? Host an after-party for your family and friends in The Rosehip Room.
Order in your favorite late-night snack, keep the music going & dance under the disco ball.
