Wedding Venue: Sapphire Creek Winery and Gardens
Nestled in a woody corner of Chagrin Falls, a dreamy indoor-outdoor venue that seamlessly melds rustic charm with sophisticated elegance awaits. Guests dine on inventive dishes created with locally sourced ingredients in a breezy space under lofted ceilings. They gaze out on a wall of windows that opens up onto a serene terrace, set aglow by flickering fire pits that flank a tranquil 28-foot reflecting pool and later mingle on plush grounds ensconced by a wall of oak and beech trees. After years of catering to happy couples, owner Kathleen Dangelo stresses the importance of prioritizing the basics when planning a wedding. “A lot of couples get lost in the little stressors of the day,” she says. “Focus on the big things — the venue, the food, the music. Those are what make an event memorable. Nobody forgets a beautiful backdrop.”
