Welcome to our wedding blog!  

We'll use this space to keep you posted about the practical- and sometimes the not so practical- tidbits that will help make our day one that will be fun and memorable for all.

Location, Location, Location

After spending both morning and evening clearing feet of snow from the drive, Bill and I are finding it hard to remember how lovely Cleveland is in July...but we look forward to sharing our city with you this summer!

Our ceremony will be in the Amasa Stone Chapel on Case Western Reserve's campus (10940 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44106).  For a bit of information about the Chapel, the Case Music Department offers a very short history.

Our reception will be at the Old Arcade downtown, which is now part of the Hyatt Regency Cleveland (420 Superior Avenue
Cleveland, OH 44114).  The Arcade, built in 1890 (and pictured to the right in 1937), is one of Cleveland's historic landmarks, and it was one of the country's first indoor shopping malls.  If you're anxious to learn more, the Arcade itself has a website with additional information.  For an audio walking tour of Cleveland's two historic arcades, please visit: Cleveland City-Prowl's review.

There are a variety of downtown Cleveland hotels (a few of which we'll mention in a later blog post), but the convenience of the Hyatt might be just the ticket for a worry-free evening.  We have secured a block of rooms at the Hyatt for the wedding weekend - you should be able to reserve them by calling 216.575.1234 and mentioning the Emmons-Claspy wedding. The very reasonable rates you should receive are: $109/night for Single/Double Occupancy; $134/night for Triple Occupancy; and $159/night for Quadruple Occupancy.

    That postcard is very amusing. It makes me laugh when I see it.
