We hired Flower & Oak for our wedding in August to do photo and video and we cannot say enough good things about them! The photographer and videographer were so fun, talented, creative, and professional. We still cry every time we watch our full video and even teaser video (which is less than a minute lol)! We would hire them again in a heart beat for any event and would recommend them without hesitation!

I'm addicted to shooting with Ashley!!! She is easily one of my most favorite photographers to shoot with!! From the very start when I booked my first creative shoot with her she was very professional and on the ball with communicating and making sure we were both on the same page. I have shot with her multiple times now and I always appreciate her preparedness and punctuality. She is also very helpful with posing directions if needed! The calming vibes she brings is an added bonus and helps you to feel like your most comfortable and confident self. You'd truly be doing yourself a disservice by not booking your big day shoot with her!

Wedding venue shopping is a lot on a couple. It takes time and energy and can be very stressful. However, when we say we found the perfect place we mean it. Donauschwaben’s was one of our venue choices coming highly recommended by our friends and family already. We reached out through their website and within no time we got an immediate response from the Christine, Event/ Wedding planner to set up a meeting together. She is not only extremely kind, but had everything organized so beautifully to choose from it was a no-brainer to choose this venue. She even recommended our DJ who had played a previous wedding there who was incredible. All communication leading up to our big day was efficient and layed out easily for us to understand. Our checks were deposited in a timely manner by the venue, our tasting was so nice and so delicious. The no pressure wedding planning was worth every penny spent. Our wedding day was so special and so beautiful from start to finish from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to our lovely reception to follow. Not only was Christine present the day of, but the staff was also on their A game all night long. Everyone was so incredibly friendly and kind, we felt like royalty. We both highly recommend this venue and if you do, definitely get the Schnitzel, Prost! The only recommendation to the venue would be to update their beverage packages to include seltzers such as High noons or White claws.

Hi! My name is Andrea and I'm the owner and lead designer here at The Flower Petal! I've been in this industry for about 7 years and I absolutely love what I do. I would describe my design style as loose/organic with a mix of whimsical and romantic. I LOVE color and getting the chance to work with more unique color palettes is my absolute favorite thing!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Flower Petal was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From our first interaction, Andrea and her team were incredibly timely, thorough, and friendly in their communication. Their floral design was truly visionary - the bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony decor they created were Pinterest-board worthy and absolutely stunning. They were true floral experts, paying meticulous attention to every detail to bring our vision to life. Andrea and her team were punctual for set up, had the most beautiful arrangements, and even added extra special touches like arranging the bridesmaid bouquets for detail shots and sprinkling extra petals in the ceremony space. They went above and beyond, returning at the end of the evening to collect the rental items so we didn't have to. The Flower Petal provided the best customer experience, were fairly priced, and truly made our wedding day dreams come true.

I could not more highly recommend Kristen! Kristen was one of the very first vendors that I booked for my August 2024 wedding and I could not be more happy in that decision. Kristen's style is timeless and true to color. She focuses on capturing the day as it happens rather than focusing only on super posed shots- which I love! Kristen's communication is clear, prompt, and honest- I so appreciated her insight through the wedding planning process and especially in developing the timeline. We also received far more sneak peeks than we expected and I'm still shocked with how quickly we received our full gallery! Kristen, we are so happy you were there to capture our day!

Originally built in the early 1900s for luxury faucet manufacturing, the 22,000 square foot warehouse sat empty for decades. The creative potential of the location caught our eye, and in 2016, we went to work to renovate the building. As event vendors ourselves, we designed The Madison to be the best parts of every cool venue we’ve ever worked from Seattle to New York City and Chicago to the Caribbean. In 2018, we reopened the restored space The Madison. We quickly gained acclaim from the area’s top event planners, community collaborators, and even local professional athletes. As Northeast Ohio’s premier event venue, our mission is to cultivate human connection and life’s treasured moments. You’ll find it effortless to work with us and within the space so you can focus more on your goals – and your guests.

We had our wedding at The Madison and it was absolutely perfect! The venue itself is stunning, and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting for our big day. From the very beginning, Daryl was incredible, so helpful, attentive, and on top of every detail. He and his team truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran seamlessly. What stood out most was how well they listened to exactly what we wanted and made it all happen. Their communication was excellent, their attention to detail unmatched, and as a bride, that gave me so much peace of mind. I was able to fully relax and enjoy the day, completely stress-free. Thanks to them, we danced the night away and had the absolute best time! I cannot recommend The Madison enough—the space, the staff, and the experience were all amazing. If you’re looking for a dream wedding venue, this is it!

Hi 👋🏼 my name is Katie and I would love to film your wedding day for you! Wedding videography is a creative outlet for me and is not my full time career. I do this because I truly have a passion for capturing love and providing my clients with videos that show their big day exactly as it happened! I film weddings solo on a single professional quality camera (no drones or full scale productions) which allows me to stay in the background as much as possible and capture the day in the most natural way possible.

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie was so amazing for our wedding!! We only hired her for the first 4 hours and wish we did the whole night! Not only did we get to watch all of our big moments in easy to view format the highlight reel was more than we could have asked for! We have a young daughter and we made it clear we wanted videos of her and Katie did not disappoint! Everything else we could have wanted was also captured. We would recommend her over and over again!

I booked C-Town Entertainment at the recommendation of another bride, and I was so happy with Bob and his assistant! I may be biased, but ours was one of the most fun weddings I have been to. Everything ran smoothly and Bob did a great job reading the room and picking songs that brought people to the dance floor whenever needed. He checked in with me and my family/bridal party throughout the evening and made last minute adjustments as needed. He was professional and made sure we had all the moments and songs that we wanted. I have been to weddings with DJs who were not as skilled and it makes a big difference in the flow and energy of the evening. My guests started chanting “one more song!” at the end of the evening, and I think that says it all. I cannot thank you all enough for the care you put into our wedding!

We can’t say enough nice things about this place! Most importantly to us was the excellent communication at every step of the planning process. The space is warm, somewhat (but not overly) fancy, reasonably priced, and welcoming to any size party. Lake Affect gave us a vibe so special it made my dad cry, but never feeling “formal” - aka stuffy. Our only warning to other couples is to plan for extra lighting in the ceremony space. We were VERY impressed with Stefanie’s problem solving ability when vendor issues came up on the day of the rehearsal. LGBTQ friendly as well!

Working with Human Artist Photography & Cinematic was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning—our engagement session—to the very last moments of our wedding day, their team went above and beyond to deliver a truly exceptional experience. Yevhen (our photographer), Serhii (our videographer), and their amazing assistant were all incredibly kind, professional, and just so easy to be around. They made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, while still managing to capture all the big, emotional moments and the quiet, candid ones we’ll treasure forever. What stood out most was their attention to detail and how seamlessly they worked together. It never felt staged or stiff—they somehow caught the true essence of our day with such artistry and grace. The final photos and video brought us right back to the moment, and honestly, we cried happy tears all over again.

She is California Pro Makeup Graduate, but from Ohio and wants to make the everyday Ohio woman look and feel beautiful on that special day or for that special occasion. For her, makeup is not just something that she can put on in the morning, or before she goes out, but it is something she puts her time and effort into doing and perfecting. Makeup is her form of art.

Jennifer Cruz was the makeup artist for my August wedding and she was lovely to work with and is obviously a skilled MUA! I am not a “makeup” person and I was a little intimidated by bridal makeup in general, but Jennifer was really patient and supportive with me as I figured out my look. The trial was easy to set up and she was great about showing me different levels of makeup heaviness, which helped me visualize and choose my look, which I wanted to be more natural. She was also super flexible when I ended up wanting to change things up a bit on the big day. I felt beautiful at my wedding, and glamorous in a way that I almost never look! The mothers, my sister and friend also had makeup done and everyone looked stunning. We were all done on time and the vibes were fun and easy-going as we were all getting ready. I definitely recommend booking Facecanvas!

I have loved music since a kid. I grew up listening to old Motown, Michael Jackson, Prince, OutKast, Wu-Tang Clan, Jimi Hendrix and Hall & Oates. I watched Video Soul on BET and of course I was a MTV kid like any good 80's baby. I became the resident DJ for 78th Street Studios "Third Friday Art Walk", courtesy of Northcoast Promotions in 2022. I infuse sets that varies in genre, style & eras. I strive to provide a set that is enjoyable for all ages. I want to bring you a set that you won't regret and most importantly I want you to have the time of your life.

DJ Sunset was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! From our initial meetups and emails to nail down the song choices, he was communicative, flexible, and clearly wanted to make sure we were thrilled with the music. On the day of, he was super fun and relaxed, and kept the dance floor packed with his great song selection and energy. We loved that he let us choose some non-traditional songs that were special to us, and he really kept the party going all night long. What a great guy - DJ Sunset provided amazing value and was a huge part of making our wedding day so memorable!

Darren and Erin were spectacular to work with!
