our philosophy
— We believe that traditions can be followed, broken or created. We come with an open mind to your ideas, while lending best tips and practices to execute your celebration intentionally.
— We see ourselves as your partner in making your vision a reality. We take the planning and/or coordination off of your plate and learn as much about your style, wishes, and deal breakers in the process.
— We deeply value your guest’s experience from arrival to departure. We believe that a good experience includes seamless transitions, thoughtful touches, prepared staff, and a welcoming atmosphere.
— Since we are in the business of parties, we want to make sure planning isn’t tougher on you than it has to be! Our hope is that our prep meetings run smoothly and provide guidance from our learned experiences.
— All are welcome here. Period. As the ultimate romantic, Ted Mosby said, “Love is the best thing we do.” We believe that the best thing we can do is to welcome everyone to The Elliot. This is a safe space for all to celebrate, love, learn, dine and dance!
— The vendor team behind the client is key to making your day shine. We are here to ensure that they are well informed, promptly greeted, constantly updated, and treated kindly.

from our clients
"My wife and I were looking for a venue for a fall 2024 wedding in Cleveland. She’s a Cleveland native, but we both live in Brooklyn, NY (and I’m a lifelong New Yorker). After a lot of research, The Elliot very quickly jumped to the top of our short list. Fast forward a year later and, on November 16th, we had a perfect wedding, from top to bottom, not just the day of, but from the moment we signed the contract to the minute we ran off to our afterparty.
We opted to include day-of coordination in our package and it was one of the best decisions we ever made. Katie is a wizard and kept all of our vendors in the loop at all times—at not a single moment did we feel that anything was out of control.
What makes The Elliot so special isn’t just the gorgeous space, or the vibey Rosehip Room downstairs, or the stunning chandelier. Rather, it’s the beautiful, intentional community that Stephanie and Katie have built. Our guests are still commenting on how authentic our wedding felt, that it was completely “us”, and a big part of that is how at home we felt in the space.
The Elliot is one of those rare spaces that will forever be a stop on the journey of our lives, and we couldn’t recommend it more to anyone who’s looking for a wedding venue."

"The Elliot is a wonderful place to host an event, in our case, the wedding of our daughter. Owner Stephanie Ridgely and event coordinator Katie Mang made sure they understood what we wanted and then made sure we understood what they could do (and not do) to make the bride's vision happen. Thanks to this thorough preparation, the events of the wedding day unfolded as expected, with glowing compliments from all our guests. Our daughter and her husband were delighted to have their ceremony in a setting that reflected their personalities.
If you are lucky enough to book the Elliot, you are in the hands of superb professionals. We can't thank them enough!"
— david, father of the bride
“If you yourself, as the bride or groom, aren’t in the wedding business, let your vendors do their jobs. If they tell you something isn’t going to work, it’s not going to work! If you have no idea how something should be set up, let the vendor decide. Letting your vendors do their thing makes for the most smooth day ever. I’ve gotten SO many compliments on the various aspects of my wedding from the flowers, to the food and venue, and my response is always the same, “I let my vendors do their jobs!”
— molly, bride
"There are not enough positive words to say about our experience working with The Elliot for our wedding. From the overall vibe, the staff, and the experience it was a 10/10. It was the first and only venue we toured! We got married at The Elliot September 2024 and I still get compliments over the venue today. Getting married is such a stressful time but not once was I ever stressed working with them. Their list of preferred vendors helps make the planning process so EASY, and every vendor we chose was perfect.
We decided to also utilize the coordination services with The Elliot and that’s when I was introduced to Katie Mang. Katie saved my life through the wedding planning process. No idea, question, email, or phone call was too stupid or annoying. Katie saw my vision and brought it to life every step of the way. I cannot recommend her as your Elliot coordinator enough. She is down to earth and so easy to work with. She knows wedding schedules/timelines so well and was able to execute the wedding day without any stress. I cannot thank her enough for all of her help. She was constantly communicating with our vendors and helped take so much off my plate. Katie took any idea I had and made it better. She saw unforeseeable problems before they even happened. Her expertise is unmatched!
We wanted our wedding to be intimate and fun and that was 100% achieved through working with The Elliot. We will have these beautiful memories forever! Thank you Katie and the rest of The Elliot staff!!"
— anne, bride
"Had our wedding here a few weeks ago. First place we looked at and fell in love immediately. Every bit as beautiful as the photos make it out to be. On top of that, amazing people to work with. Coordinated with all vendors seamlessly. Didn't think it was possible, but the process couldn't have been less stressful. And the wedding went off without a hitch. Huge kudos to Katie Mang who coordinated everything. Incredibly kind, empathetic, and patient. Thanks again for a wonderful experience."
— ZACH, groom
“BIG THANKS for the outstanding jobs you all did in helping to make the wedding of Molly & Bill an outstanding success with many great memories!! Your attention to detail and to the needs & comfort of all who attended was top notch, A++, excellent! I can’t think of enough superlatives!”
— bill, father of the bride
"We fell in love with the aesthetics of The Elliot from the moment we saw the big stained glass window and couldn’t be happier with our choice to get married here. Katie took the sweetest picture of me and my husband sitting together holding hands as she was running around making our day perfect which I think is a testament to how perfect our experience was. Katie and Stephanie and the entire coordination team are the absolute best and helped our day run so smoothly. Our families and friends were in awe at the beauty of the venue and how cool the Rosehip Room is and we couldn’t agree more. Highly recommend!!"
— jessi, bride
"We can’t thank you enough for everything you did to make our wedding come together so beautifully on such short notice. Your ability to plan and manage everything in just over two months was truly impressive, and it all turned out so perfectly. You were always so reachable and responsive, and that made the whole process so much easier for us.”
— sandor, groom
“We chose to have our daughter's wedding at the Elliot because of the professionalism encountered on our first meeting. Stephanie Ridgely, owner of the Elliot was gracious and capable. On our tour she explained the history of the building and how she and her husband transformed it into the beautiful venue that it is. Since our daughter lives in Seattle and the wedding was here in CLE, Stephanie and Katie Mang (wedding coordinator) made the process of creating a wonderful experience for all involved as smooth as possible. The multitude of compliments from family and friends are a direct result of their excellence!”
— diane, mother of the bride
“I held my wedding at The Elliot on 12/30/2023. If you are looking for an elegant wedding venue with a top-notch team, look no further. The Elliot is a breathtaking space that features a huge crystal chandelier, a beautiful stained glass window, and the coziest speakeasy bar in the basement. We were able to keep our decor pretty simple because the space shines on its own. We held our ceremony in the main space then our guests went to the basement bar for cocktail hour all while The Elliot and catering staff flipped the main space into the reception. It created a great guest experience having everything under one roof, especially since our wedding was in December. The staff are beyond excellent as well. Katie was our day-of coordinator but she went above and beyond in her role. She was extremely responsive, thoughtful, capable, and overall pleasant to work with. She kept the day organized and moving along appropriately. I do not have enough good things to say about her! I seriously cannot recommend The Elliot enough. It was the wedding venue of my dreams!!”
