5 Reasons To Get Ready On The Elliot’s Balcony On Your Wedding Day

It may sound a little strange to say it… but the morning of a wedding is one of the best parts of the day (aside from the exchanging of “I do,” of course.) There’s something so special about getting your makeup and hair done alongside your family members and very best friends, enjoying laughs, tunes, and snacks together before party mode gets switched on. While getting ready at home, in a hotel, or beyond might be your current vision, have you considered beginning and ending your day with The Elliot? You read that right, getting ready on site comes with your contract to make your hectic day run smoother. There are many perks to getting married at The Elliot, so here’s why you should also get ready on the balcony.

You’ll get early access to the venue. 

You, your wedding party, and your beauty vendors will have access to the balcony beginning at 8 A.M. sharp, complete with tables and chairs. With on-site parking, this is a great option for local party members and vendors who can easily pull up and get acclimated to the venue with ease. Once you’re at the venue, you don’t have to stress about driving through Cleveland traffic because you’re already set up and ready to go at your main destination.

You’ll get exclusive use of the spaces.

You and your party friends will have a dazzling time all to yourselves. Beyond using this space for hair and makeup, it’s perfect for a morning brunch. After all, a future spouse *needs* to eat. The Elliot absolutely encourages bringing in your favorite breakfast foods or ordering takeout from nearby eateries and coffee shops. Your venue coordinator is more than happy to make sure your deliveries get to you in the balcony hot and ready. 

Excitingly, we can also offer exclusive use of The Rosehip Room for the other half of your wedding party. This is especially ideal if you don’t want to see each other until walking down the aisle. P.S. You can safely store your items in the dressing rooms or in our downstairs lobby closet all event long.

It’s a photography dream.

Your photographer and videographer will be utterly thrilled to see the natural light pouring through the gorgeous rose stained-glass window. Whether you’re looking for candid moments or posed portraits, the balcony setting offers several spots for capturing memories. And of course, it’s the best place to get a chandelier picture, too.

The vibes are perfect.

Soft couches, floor-length mirrors, and two spacious dressing rooms make this the ideal getting ready location, especially for large parties. And if you know us, you know we love blasting tunes. (What is a wedding day without a little ABBA, right?). We have a Bluetooth speaker for you on the balcony and the venue attendant can connect music to our speaker system in The Rosehip Room.

Our bar packages & drink services will help start the party.

Get your toasts going bright and early in the morning. Our bar can set up a Champagne toast, a mimosa bar, and a variety of beer and seltzers for your wedding party. Or, if you need a caffeine boost, coffee will be provided free of charge. Cheers to that!
