Historic architecture and timeless ambiance meet in Cleveland, OH to create one of the most iconic venues in the state
The Old Courthouse is one of Cleveland’s most iconic and history-rich venues. Though it continues to operate as a working courthouse during the week, the atrium and mezzanine are available to host events seeking an upscale and timeless vibe.
From a photographic point of view, The Old Courthouse showcases Beaux-Arts style at its finest. Within the grand rotunda, you’ll find a sweeping grand staircase, beautiful artwork, and a 20-foot-tall stained glass window. If you love larger-than-life architecture, there is no finer place in Cleveland. Just outside the doors, you’ll also have access to stunning outdoor cityscapes, including a great view of Browns Stadium. The Old Courthouse seamlessly combines historic grounds and jaw-dropping architecture, making it a perfect setting for a Cleveland wedding.
Having worked there many times over the years, I can’t say enough good things about The Old Courthouse.
From a vendor’s standpoint, their staff is best described as a well-oiled machine. They are talented, well-spoken, and incredibly accommodating. The rotunda and mezzanine above provide endless options for dynamic photos. Marble throughout, symmetrical architecture, and the larger-than-life feeling you get upon entering make The Old Courthouse one of our favorite places to photograph couples.
From a visitor’s perspective, The Old Courthouse effortlessly combines an upscale feel with an environment that promotes fun and excitement. Every square foot of its event spaces defines class while remaining welcoming and accessible.
