5 Ways To Use The Elliot’s Balcony On Your Wedding Day

We may be biased…but we think we might have the coolest balcony in all of Cleveland. Sitting above The Elliot’s ballroom, the venue’s balcony boasts a dazzling rosestained glass window, cozy changing rooms, and the perfect amount of natural light. (You’re welcome, wedding photographers!)

There are so many ways to use The Eliot’s balcony on your special day. Check out five ways to make the most of the balcony below.

1. Photo Booth Location

Send your guests upstairs for a silly photo moment. Photo booths love to set up here for the spacious area, which easily fits an array of props and lighting equipment.

Plus, guests can also use the famous stained glass window for an Insta-worthy backdrop, too.

Get ready to pose with a signature cocktail in hand!

2. Wedding Party Haven

You don’t have to share the balcony with every guest…you can keep it accessible to solely the wedding party. Use it in the morning as a getting-ready spot. (P.S. We offer a mimosa and beer packages, so you can start your mornings in the best and bubbliest way.)

Throughout the evening, party members can store their belongings in our fabulous dressing rooms…or simply take a breather from the dance floor.

3. Private Cake-Cutting Spot

Many couples are changing the way they cut their wedding cakes. Instead of slicing their tier in front of every guest, some newlyweds are opting to make it a private moment.

Brides and grooms at The Elliot have placed their cakes in front of the stained glass window to have a moment that is both intimate and stunning in photos.

A handful of couples have also done a private final dance on the balcony, too!

4. Guest Lounge

For guests who may not be the biggest dancers, you can send them up to the balcony for a chill hang-out spot. The Elliot can outfit the area with various high-top tables and soft seating.

Want to make it even more luxurious? Several rental companies, including Borrow Curated and Event Source, offer an array of furniture rental options.

5. Dinner Seating For Guests

Wedding guests can be seated for dinner in the ballroom and on the balcony. Plus, this gives balcony guests a fabulous view for dances, speeches, and beyond.
