Oh my goodness, we are actually speechless. We genuinely can't thank Sandra and Nichole enough for the incredible work they did capturing our wedding day. After our venue, they were the first vendors we decided on, and we couldn't be happier with that choice, they went above and beyond at every single step. From our initial calls to the engagement shoot and, most importantly, the wedding day, they were simply amazing. They have such a rare and wonderful gift: not only at flawlessly capturing every moment, but also at making everyone feel welcome and completely at ease. They have the best sense of humor, making us laugh so hard our cheeks hurt, and they were experts at easing any tension with our family during portraits. They were truly a joy to spend time with. We feel so lucky to have had Sandra and Nichole as our photographers. These pictures are everything we could have ever imagined and more. We know these photos will be treasured for generations and generations to come. If you are looking for photographers who are incredibly talented, professional, hilarious, and who will instantly feel like friends—hire Sandra and Nichole! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you do.

Founded in 1940, when we say we have decades of experience, we really mean it. Since then our love for flowers and our team has only grown. Day to day you can catch us designing floral arrangements and delivering them by the truck full. We source locally whenever possible (of course). We especially love weddings and just adore our brides. Aside from that, we are probably spending any other spare time cheering on fellow entrepreneurs and our favorite vendors of this industry. We love to pour back into our city by supporting local events, schools, and the animal shelter. And we could go on of course, but there is a word limit :)

We truly appreciated all of Kristin's recommendations and guidance throughout the planning process.

I can say confidently that Merkels was one of our best vendor decisions - would highly recommend to any other bride!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot even put in to words how thankful I am that we had Tyson as our DJ at our wedding!! Our day was absolutely perfect and a large part of that was due to Tyson’s organization, creativity and fun spirit. We have not stopped receiving messages asking who our DJ was and for his contact information because he was just THAT GOOD!!! The dance floor was so crowded and not a single guest left early because Tyson curated the most perfect party through music. He kindly listened to all of our silly requests for song choices and also was able to gauge the crowd for what music they enjoyed. There was not a single song played that the whole room wasn’t dancing to and I was afraid to leave the dance floor to get dessert or a drink for fear of missing out on whatever the next song was about to be. If you are even thinking about using Tyson to DJ your event, do not hesitate. It was the best decision we made!!

Our reception was everything we could've dreamed of and more all thanks to Follow the Sun! While we were exploring our options for a live band we got a recommendation to check out FtS, so we went to see them perform live and we knew right away they were the band for us. They are incredibly talented musicians and the band has great chemistry. They bring great energy and get the crowd going. And that was all just from observing before we even spoke with them regarding booking! FtS goes above and beyond to provide a customized experience. Once we inquired about booking they made the whole process so easy and fun for us. We met to discuss our vision for our day, and they were so accommodating as well as provided great insight for us from their experience with other weddings. They have an amazing set list of songs to choose from. Over the weeks leading up to the wedding, any questions we had they were quick to respond and so kind. We had custom requests with family traditions/songs and FtS were able make it all fit seamlessly into the evening. Our dancefloor was packed all night because of the incredible job the band did. We are so thankful and would highly recommend them to any couple interested in live music for their big day. Special shoutout to Sophie for being so attentive and answering all of our questions, and to Richie for being an INCREDIBLE master of ceremonies handling bridal party introductions and announcements throughout the evening. We didn't have to worry about a thing, you made our night so special and fun. Thank you for everything! PS - Even though our wedding was almost 2 years ago now, we still follow the band and go out and see them perform every chance we get! They are amazing and just keep getting better!!

When researching venues to have our wedding we kept coming back to this one and got married here in October. We loved the outdoor ceremony space, which was absolutely stunning with all of the fall colors. We loved the reception space for its spaciousness and what we could do with it, it was the perfect space for a fun filled reception. From the beginning everyone we worked with was very helpful and always thorough when answering any questions we had throughout the planning process.

Hi! My name is Katie and I own Katie’s Kakes! I am a small cottage law baker out of my home in Madison, Ohio. I have been a chef for many years and one year I wanted to make my mom a special cake for Mother’s Day. Her favorite flower is hydrangea, so I attempted to make a cake that looked like a hydrangea. It didn’t look as bad as I thought it was going to. After posting it, I had many friends and family reach out for me to bake them a custom cake. Finally in 2022 I decided to create Katie’s Kakes and received my LLC. I love being in the kitchen and creating something beautiful and tasty for any wedding! I love what I do!

I got the opportunity to try a variety of sweets from Katie’s Kakes & she pleasantly surpassed my expectations! Between beautifully decorated chocolate cake to personalized cookies it was everything and more. I’m very much pleased with the service & would highly recommend her for any needs you may have!

For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for creating in any capacity. It wasn't until I picked up a camera that I found out what my favorite type of creating was. Being creative is what I do, simple. I am from Northeast OH. My favorite thing to capture would have to be a toss up between sports and weddings. I love to workout and think fitness is important. But most importantly, God is the head of my life and I wouldn't be where I am OR where I'm headed without him.

If you are looking for a wedding venue that feels like pure magic from start to finish, Basil Place is it! We got married here in April 2026, and I truly don’t have enough words to capture how special this place—and the people behind it—are. Michelle, the owner, is quite simply an angel of a human. From day one, she was by our side through every step of the process. She doesn’t just care about your wedding day—she cares about you as a person and wants you to genuinely soak in and enjoy every single moment. Her presence is calming, supportive, and incredibly thoughtful, and it made all the difference. She was so flexible and available whenever needed. She knows what she is doing and this is truly a passion and something her entire family seems to put their heart and soul into. One thing that really stood out is that Michelle only works with vendors who share her same vision and level of care. Every recommendation she provided—from catering to bartending—was absolutely top notch. It removed so much stress knowing we were in the best hands with people that knew the venue well and didn't rely on us for information. We booked the full weekend package, and I cannot recommend it enough (sure the price might shock you a bit at first, but it ultimately ended up saving us money and alot of stress due to lodging of family, ourselves and rehearsal dinner space all being in one place). Being able to host our rehearsal dinner on-site Friday night while already soaking in the beautiful grounds set the tone for the entire weekend. Even more special, our parents and siblings stayed in the house with us, which made everything feel intimate, easy, and so meaningful. The morning of the wedding was something I’ll never forget—while the girls were up early getting ready in the bridal suite, we kept looking outside at everyone else relaxing by the lake with coffee, thinking “must be nice :)” It truly felt like a retreat with the people we love most and I didn't think I would be able to get something like this in Ohio... but then Michelle came along and proved me wrong :) Basil Place gave us not just a wedding day, but an entire experience we’ll cherish forever. If you want a venue where you feel supported, cared for, and completely present for your wedding, this is the place. We are endlessly grateful to the entire staff for helping us start our lives in such a special way!

She was incredibly hard-working, helpful, and creative, truly going above and beyond as a perfectionist to ensure my bridal hair was flawless. I had gone through two disappointing trials with my initial stylist, but then I found Hollie and she was able to get me scheduled quickly and ended up being my saving grace when it came to my wedding day look.

In brief, we cannot recommend Meadow Ridge highly enough--the venue is beautiful and unique, but more than that, working with Seneca and her team is a pure joy! They are organized, thoughtful, responsive, and caring. They make you feel like family from the first time you meet and the investment in the success of your wedding day is incredible. Lastly, I was nervous planning a multicultural event with integration of Indian and American wedding traditions in rural Ohio and all our requests and details pertaining to Indian cultural aspects were beautifully integrated into the wedding day! It is clear that hosting excellent and memorable weddings is a proud commitment for the Meadow Ridge team, not just a job they have. Venue: large, beautiful outdoor venue with a covered pavilion. To quote our friend, "I've been to a lot of barn weddings, yours was not a farm wedding, it was a fairytale." The flowers were stunning, the grass was lush, the pond lined with reeds and tall grassed, the sunset was out of a painting. There is a new patio in the larger pavilion which we used as our dance floor, so our guests danced the night away under the stars. The photography team Suzuran has stunning pictures of Meadow Ridge across several seasons! Communication/Planning: Seamless communication with the team, Seneca was always easy to reach and responsive, answering our infinity questions meticulously and graciously adjusting her plans when we had to change ours. Service: So thoughtful and caring, we and our guests were blown away! For instance, the bartenders kept track of what drinks we had as the bride and the groom and came to find us with refills. One of the servers brought over tissues when my parents and I started crying before walking down the aisle. As we mentioned, the integration of elements of Indian culture was phenomenal--Seneca was receptive from our first conversation and worked hard to make our hopes a reality. Having our wedding at Meadow Ridge was an absolute privilege and the success of the day is fully reflective of the incredible team we got to work with--we are just so grateful!

Hi! My name is Ciara and photography has always been a passion of mine. Ever since I can remember, I've had a camera in my hand. Something about capturing beautiful moments for others, brings light to my soul! In my spare time, I love to camp, cook and spend time with my husband and son. My family is a very big part of my life so I also enjoy getting together with everyone & making memories of my own. I would love if you considered me to be a part of your special day! Thank you & hope to see you soon!

We are beyond obsessed with our engagement and wedding photos! They worked together so seamlessly on our wedding day and captured every moment from every angle. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they made us feel comfortable and relaxed the entire time. Ciara could sense my nerves before the ceremony and helped calm my nerves. We will cherish these photos forever. And her editing style is absolutely beautiful. The colors are vibrant yet subtle , rich and full of life without ever feeling overdone. Everything looks natural, timeless, and perfectly balanced. The tones enhance every photo in the most stunning way while still keeping the true feel of the day. Highly recommend Ciara’s forever photos!

I have been lucky enough to have Emily do my makeup for multiple weddings the past few years. Compared to any other makeup I have ever had done, Emily’s work is by far the best. I gave her direction that I would like a natural/pretty look that still made me feel like myself and she did exactly that. I wish she could do my makeup everyday! She is also very calming and pleasant to be around and made it a great experience. I highly recommend her to everyone.
