5 Fun Things to Do After Your Cleveland Wedding
As a Cleveland wedding photographer, I want to make sure my couples experience all that this city has to offer. Let’s be honest— the options are endless and Cleveland is full of life! So, I’ve narrowed down some of my favorites with 5 fun things to do after your Cleveland wedding!
Shooter’s on the Water
In The Flats
If you’re a young couple getting married in Cleveland and looking for something upbeat and fun to do after your wedding, this would be a PERFECT option! The Flats is primarily where Cleveland’s younger crowd frequents, so if you don’t think that would be your vibe… you can totally skip this one and find something that’s more up your alley! Shooters was stablished in 1987 and is a waterfront café with live music— honestly, does it get any better than this?! Shooters has become a popular summer spot for locals and tourists alike. Their outdoor deck overlooking the water would be the perfect place to enjoy the newlywed vibes with your babe. They have an extensive menu of food, signature cocktails, beer, and wine that you can check out here! While you’re at it, you should probably take a shot of tequila to celebrate that you did the damn thing! If you really love the vibe of Shooters, you can even hold a private event here (AKA a post-wedding party/reception!) with up to 150 seated guests!
The Vault
Cleveland’s premium, upscale cocktail lounge
Not only would this be a great place to go after your Cleveland wedding, but it would also be a perfect photo op if you bring your wedding photographer along! Believe me — they’ll thank you. The Vault is beneath the century-old bank beneath the Cleveland Trust Rotunda. The underground bank vaults were renovated and restored to become home to this upscale cocktail lounge! They have handcrafted cocktails made by their resident mixologists, small plates, and of course exceptional service. Their menu, although small, looks excellent (I’m a sucker for flatbreads). Wanna see for yourself? You can check it out here! They have dairy free, gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options. This would also be a super fun spot to drop in for your bachelor/bachelorette party!
Punch Bowl Social
Where you can eat, drink, and have the time of your life
For all my fun - loving, party - going couples, this spot is for you! Punch Bowl Social is a modern, inclusive, adult arcade that you, your babe, and (obviously) your friends, would have a blast at! The Cleveland location is minutes away from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Brown Stadium. They also have a rooftop area. I don’t know about you, but there’s something about a rooftop bar that takes my excitement to the next level. They have punch, craft beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), scratch-kitchen food (excuse me, may I try… EVERYTHING?), karaoke, bowling, and endless gaming options. They even host “Post-I Do” brunches at Punch Bowl Social, so you can head there with your crew the day after your Cleveland wedding. If you bring wedding gusts prior to 10 PM, all ages are welcome. After that— guests must be 21+.
Go on a city brew tour
For couples who want to extend the celebration
City Brew Tours Cleveland: Okay, hear me out… an all-inclusive tour of Cleveland’s best breweries!? I feel like this one is a no - brainer. You can book a private tour (minimum of 3 people— so bring your photographer or bridal party along), or you can book a public tour where you can party with other people! There’s two different types of public tours; Original Brew Tour and Sip of Cleveland Tour. Depending on which tour you choose, you’ll be able to get exclusive access to handpicked breweries in Cleveland with “backstage” tours, tastings, and more.
The Farm
For the country lovin’ couples
The Farm is a live, country music bar owned by Chase Rice. If that’s not enough to convince you that it’s a necessary stop, you can check out their tags on Instagram & the videos will do the talking for me. This bar is perfect for couples who love the country music, and want somewhere to go dancing and have a great time! You can check out their drink menu here , and their food menu here. They’re currently only open Wednesday - Sunday. So if you’re having a weekend wedding, then you can head here afterwards! Another fun option would be to stop by the following day (if you’ve recovered) with your wedding party! If you’re looking for something a little more exclusive, they also offer the option of hosting an exclusive celebration!
If you’re looking for more exciting things to do, reach out! I would LOVE to hear from you! We can chat all about the city life, and the endless options it offers. If you’re having a Cleveland wedding & your looking for inspo, you can check out this wedding I recently photographed! Feel free to also check in for more inspiration on my Pinterest and Instagram!
