Kate and Alex wanted to showcase Cleveland in the best light possible to their large families -- half of them Pittsburghers! They held their wedding mass at the gorgeous Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist on Superior Ave. in downtown Cleveland, so guests could easily walk around the city and enjoy all the new and exciting things it has to offer. The reception at the nearby Hilton provided the perfect opportunity to show off one of Cleveland's new developments... and dance the night away! Kate says, "Our favorite memory is having almost all of our 300+ guests join us on the dance floor with our amazing band, The Orchestra, who kept our party vibrant all night! Our wedding was beautiful and elegant in every way, but it was truly the ability to bring our amazing families all together to celebrate with us that made our wedding perfect."
