Brewery & Winery Elopement Dining

There are tons, I mean TONS of great breweries and wineries to choose from throughout Ohio. If you are a connoisseur of IPAs or local wine, consider adding a stop for a bite and a drink at one of Ohio’s local favorites. These are also definitely a crowd favorite when it comes to what to eat during your elopement day.

Casual & Fun Dining Stops

Food Truck

You really can’t go wrong with a food truck if you are on the go during your elopement day. See what the local options are near where you are eloping and pick your fave!

Pizza

Pizzaaaaaaaa – need I say more? After a day of exploring, head to your favorite pizza place for a slice or order in!

Fast Food

Do you and your partner have a favorite fast food spot? Why not incorporate it into your elopement day? And if you’re thinking of Taco Bell’s clever “marry me” sauce packets, I too hear the call of the bell and will be the first to encourage you to partake!

Public Market

Some of Ohio’s larger cities have public markets with many awesome local dining options and awesome vibes to match. Explore one of these gorgeous markets and grab a filling snack!

Sweet Treats & Café Stops

Cake

Just because you are eloping doesn’t mean you can’t share a wedding cake together! Order a small round cake with your elopement date or “just eloped” on it and dig in!

Ice Cream Shop

Who doesn’t like a sweet treat? Ohio has so many aesthetic and tasty ice cream parlors to choose from. If you’re eloping on a hot day, make time for a quick ice cream date with your partner.

Bubble Tea Cafe

I don’t know about you, but I’m obsessed with bubble tea (matcha milk tea anyone?). Bubble tea cafes are frequently such picturesque and fun spots to grab a quick snack during your elopement day. If you too are a fan, I highly recommend adding a stop in your elopement day itinerary.

Coffee Shop

Sometimes you need a little extra fuel for your day (sunrise elopement friends, where are you at?). Heading to your favorite coffee shop for a pick me up during your elopement is a totally fun and encouraged thing to do!

Private & Romantic Dining Ideas

DIY or Catered Picnic

Seeking privacy during your elopement? Pack or order a catered picnic for a little extra romance during your day. 

Charcuterie

We love a good charcuterie board. DIY your own or order an artfully arranged one for a refreshing bite during your elopement. 

S’mores

Ending the day with a bonfire and s’mores is the perfect activity to end an elopement day. Grab some chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers for a delicious dessert!
