Ohio's top living history museum, Hale Farm & Village, is tucked away in the lovely Cuyahoga Valley. This 90 acre farm and historic mid-1800s village offers several one-of-a-kind venues with contemporary amenities, which is sure to impress all of your wedding guests.

Cleveland Bridal Shops

Plan the outdoor nuptials of your dreams in our apple orchard, on the patio of the gatehouse overlooking the farm, or even in the middle of the village green. If you prefer an indoor setting for your ceremony, consider the rustic charm of the present-day Mary Jane Davis Hartwell Room or the classic charm of the Meetinghouse Chapel.

Bridal Stores in Northeast Ohio

A horse-drawn carriage ride through a sugar maple forest, a cocktail hour in the stunning Goldsmith Floral Garden or the two-story Carriage Manufactory barn, or late-night s'mores around a bonfire can all help to make your wedding reception truly special later on. The three-sided open air Carriage Pavilion on the East Side of the property and the climate-controlled modern Gatehouse Visitor's Center on the West Side of the property serve as Hale Farm & Village's main reception areas.

A-line wedding dresses

Don't forget, though, that for your first wedding photos, you and your photographer can use both the West and East sides. Start your next chapter of life at Hale Farm & Village and create history together.  

Once you find your wedding venue, it is easier to imagine your dream wedding dress. Imagine entering the venue arm-in-arm with all your guests’ eyes upon you. Your first dance awaits you. What is your wedding gown style, A-line, boho, ballgown, mermaid, or other silhouettes?

With your venue date set, a few quick yet fun decisions are needed to coordinate the wedding date. Be sure to schedule your ceremony location soon, too. Looking for alternative wedding ceremony locations? Perhaps, a local park or beach is the spot to exchange your vows and capture memories. The journey ahead is bound to fill with excitement and joy. Wedding photographers can book a year in advance of your wedding date, so be sure to hire a wedding photographer in short order that meets your vision and personality. And, of course, let’s remember your out-of-town wedding guests. Let them know that you researched their accommodation options, whether a hotel or a private rental house, as the guests, will appreciate this.

Finally, an easy and momentous step of your wedding planning – get your official wedding license.
