Intimate elopement ceremony setup in Cincinnati wedding venue

For a private ceremony, Somerhaus offers natural light, greenery, and a furnished room in Over-the-Rhine. The venue has an open floor plan, so talk with the team about where to hold your vows and how to arrange any seating.

The space is rented as a complete venue. Share your guest count, photography plans, and whether you want to stay for a meal or drinks when making an enquiry.

Ask for the rental details for your ceremony rather than assuming an officiant, photography, or catering is included. The team can point you toward preferred vendors as you put those parts of the day together.

A Couple’s View of Getting Married Here

A wedding host shares what the setting meant to their celebration.

Felt Like a Destination Wedding

Wow! I hosted my wedding at this beautiful, unique venue. We felt like we were having a destination wedding in our own city. There is so much love and detail put in that decorating on our part was minimal. We got tropical flowers for the tables and it just completed the vibe.

FAQ

Elopement FAQ

These are the questions we hear most from Cincinnati weddings hosts. Still curious? We're here to help.

Is the full venue the only rental option, or can parts be rented separately?

Somerhaus is open concept and can only be rented as a complete venue. For smaller functions, we recommend you contact Somerset, who's lounge is available for private bookings.

Can you accommodate both ceremony and reception?

Yes! Our flexible space can be configured for both ceremony and reception. We can set up ceremony seating for up to 80 guests, then transition the space for dining and dancing. This allows your entire celebration to happen in one beautiful location. View layout options on our venue layout page.

What wedding vendors do you recommend?

We maintain relationships with top Cincinnati wedding pro’s including caterers, photographers, florists, and entertainment. Our preferred vendor list ensures quality service and seamless coordination, though you're welcome to bring your own vendors as well.

Can you share floor plans and dimensions?

Yes, we provide floor plans. Our main space is approximately 3,080 square feet, pre-furnished, but with an open concept design that can be configured in multiple ways. Visit our venue layout page to see configuration options and download the plans.

How much time is included for setup and teardown?

Setup and teardown times are built into your rental period. Additional setup or teardown time can be purchased at an hourly rate if needed assuming the schedule permits. All vendors and personal items must be removed by the end of your contracted teardown period unless special arrangements have been made in advance. Contact us to discuss extended setup needs.

What parking options are available?

We have several convenient parking options nearby. Washington Park Underground Parking is one block away (2-minute walk). The Open Air 3CDC Lot on Vine St & 15th is a 3-minute walk. Mercer Commons Garage is two blocks away (4-minute walk). Street parking may be available on northern streets, but garage/lot parking is recommended. Note: Republic Street is permit parking only.
