There is a brand-new event space coming to Kent, Ohio, and I am already picturing the most beautiful, intimate micro-weddings here. Imagine being surrounded by just your absolute favorite people in a space that feels both modern and heartfelt.

One of the best parts? Kent in the summertime is pure magic: it’s peaceful, vibrant, and full of character. Whether you’re looking at a stay at one of our cozy local Airbnbs or the Kent State Hotel, it’s the perfect backdrop for a weekend-long celebration or a quiet, meaningful elopement.

There’s something so special about Ohio’s premier college town during those sun-drenched summer months when the campus is quiet and the energy is all about celebration. If you’re dreaming of a ceremony that’s authentic, stress-free, and uniquely yours, I’d be honored to help you make it official.

I’m already filling up the summer calendar, so let’s chat about your vision! Click the link in my bio to see our ceremony packages. 🥂✨

Blacktail Events is a new, modern event venue in downtown Kent, Ohio for mid-size gatherings up to 85 guests—perfect for birthdays, showers, weddings, parties, and corporate events in a stylish, convenient location. Tour & book today.

This Christmas Eve, I had the true honor of officiating a Legal Requirements Only wedding for a thoughtful couple and their children: just the immediate family, gathered quietly in a cozy Cleveland coffee shop. No grand rituals, no crowds; just warm smiles, heartfelt intentions, and a sense of togetherness that made the ceremony feel genuine and unforgettable.

There’s something magical about saying "I do" among holiday lights with your loved ones sipping cocoa nearby. Their minimalist celebration was proof that love doesn’t need much to shine bright: just connection, authenticity, and the willingness to cherish simple moments.

Congratulations to this beautiful family! If a relaxed, meaningful ceremony is your dream (with or without the caffeine boost ☕), Marry Me Cleveland is always ready to help make it official, your way.

May these eight nights bring light, laughter, and love into your homes and hearts. Creating ceremonies that reflect your unique stories and cherished traditions is such a privilege: your trust makes every “I do” even more meaningful.

Tonight was truly special: I had the honor of officiating a wedding at the incredible House of Blues Cleveland! There’s something magical about this venue, from the iconic stage lights to the warm, welcoming staff who make every moment seamless.

The real highlight though? A beautiful couple whose love lit up the room and reminded me why personal, meaningful ceremonies matter so much. It’s a joy to craft experiences for couples that reflect who they are and celebrate the uniqueness of their story.

Wishing these newlyweds a lifetime of laughs, adventures, and unforgettable concerts together! If you’re planning your own Northeast Ohio celebration, House of Blues is a fantastic choice: and I’d be honored to help make your day just as perfect. 🥂💙
