Cleveland Rocks is not just a song. It absolutely describes Geoffrey and Jill's wedding!

This past summer, our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team went on the road to Cleveland for a spectacular destination wedding.
 
The couple met working in Tampa but never started dating until both had separately moved to Chicago for their jobs.
 
Their luxurious Cleveland wedding took place at the Metropolitan at the 9, the Ameritrust Tower, formerly the Cleveland Trust Tower.

With mixed metals throughout its décor, century-old bank vaults, and rooftop deck overlooking the city, the iconic bank building gave guests a mix of new and old Cleveland.
 
After spending the morning getting ready, the couple met on the rooftop deck for their first look and some photos before making their way down to the vault for some memorable images.
 
Jill and Geoffrey exchanged their wedding vows on the hotel's rooftop deck before enjoying cocktails with their guests in the Vault Speakeasy.

This popular Cleveland destination in the former bank's vaults is filled with lush furnishings and is known for its craft cocktails.
 
The Mint Ballroom was the next destination. Our team created a luxurious setting, balancing the bold geometric carpeting with solid colored linens, lush monochromatic white florals, and candlelight.

Mixed metal chargers and candelabras alongside striking metallic tone napkins added visual impact.
 
After their first dance to 'I Chose You' by Ryann Darling and a welcome by the groom, the newlyweds, and their guests enjoyed a luxurious multi-course dinner.

Before the delicious main course, the dining experience included Salad, Italian Wedding Soup, and Bucatini Bolognese.
 
Following several touching toasts, the newlyweds took to the dance floor with their parents for traditional Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dances before asking their guests to join in.
 
The evening continued with a surprise visit by the Cleveland Browns Mascot, an assortment of Calzones as late-night snacks, and an afterparty where the couple danced the night away.

For our Jennifer Matteo Event Planning team, working with Nikko and Chris was nothing less than pure bliss.

​They intended to be married in Hawaii, but when COVID changed their plans, they chose to transform their backyard into the wedding of their dreams.
 
Love of travel and passion for music festivals is where they began to build memories together. Their wedding was a music lover’s dream combining a fabulous mix of music, explosions of color, and texture. It was truly magical and filled with so much love.
 
Their day began at the Opal Sands Resort on Clearwater Beach. They spent the morning getting ready, having their first look and some fantastic portraits along the Gulf of Mexico.
 
Returning to their home, their ceremony space was set with dark wood chairs lined with brilliantly colored fans and floral arrangements leading to a tree filled with shimmering twinkle lights. 
 
Chris was all smiles as his bride-to-be made her way across the lawn.

Beautiful bubbles filled their air as Nikko made her way down the aisle.

​After a touching wedding ceremony, the couple sealed their vows with a kiss to the sounds of “High on Life” by Martin Garrix.
 
In addition to their photographer and videographer, the day was beautifully captured by a live event painter.
 
The cocktail hour was full of good vibes as guests enjoyed the Signature Cocktails, Tink-A-Rita, and Ziggy’s Old Fashioned while leaving good energy in a unique guest book.
 
The reception space was designed with lush lounge seating, blending mod with modern with colorful, eclectic details. The evening was filled with incredible detailing, from custom neon creations to personal photographs, a luxurious dining space, and a beer garden.
 
The newlywed’s first dance was followed by welcoming their guests and a blessing by the bride.

​Guests dined on delicious dinner stations that included fresh local seafood, oak-grilled tenderloin of beef, grilled vegetables and pasta, and wild mushroom risotto.
 
The backyard made a magical transformation as the sun went down.

​The evening continued with touching toasts, mother-son dance, and a packed dancefloor before the couple cut their geode-inspired wedding cake.
 
One of our favorite details was the couple’s silent disco, allowing the party to continue late into the night in a space filled with fun glow sticks and disco balls. The evening was truly magical!
