Glidden House, Cleveland Wedding - Julianna + Breven

Nestled in the heart of University Circle, the historic Glidden House offers the perfect setting for a wedding that feels both elegant and personal. Built in 1910 in a French Gothic style, this stately mansion has since been transformed into a boutique hotel rich with classic charm and modern comfort — making it an ideal spot for couples who want all wedding-day moments in one place: getting ready, ceremony, and reception.

Walking through the Glidden House feels a bit like stepping back in time. The mansion’s detailed architecture, cozy lounges, and beautifully maintained gardens create an atmosphere that feels intimate and effortless, even with options to accommodate up to 150 guests.

What makes the venue especially well-suited to a same-location wedding day is its variety of spaces:

• Getting Ready: With boutique accommodations right on site, the wedding party can prepare just steps away from the ceremony space.  

• Ceremony Options: Couples can choose an outdoor ceremony in the gardens or under the charming gazebo — an idyllic backdrop for heartfelt vows.  

• Reception Spaces: The elegant Juniper Room, with its grand chandelier and French doors opening to the outdoors, offers a warm setting for dinner and dancing. There are also more intimate rooms and outdoor areas for cocktail hours or quiet moments with close family.  

Because weddings at Glidden House aren’t competing with multiple events at once, the focus stays entirely on you and your guests — preserving that sense of closeness and warmth throughout the day.  

For couples seeking a blend of historic elegance and a fully immersive wedding experience all under one roof, the Glidden House provides a storybook setting that feels both personal and timeless.
