Merkels Floral Studio 
Rating: 5.0 (23 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $10,000
  • Serves Avon Lake, OH

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 :)

I have nothing but great things to say about Kristin and the Merkels team! She took our vision and brought it to life, while also being so stress free to work with. We truly appreciated all of Kristin's recommendations and guidance throughout the planning process. She also was so thoughtful to work with when considering our budget and flexible with adjusting things to make it work for us. I can say confidently that Merkels was one of our best vendor decisions - would highly recommend to any other bride!

When I tell you that this man has to be your wedding DJ .. BELIEVE ME!!! Tyson was so incredible to work with. His wife sam also worked the Photo Booth and it was awesome to see them work together. The music was absolutely perfect he listened to every single request and song suggestion that I chose for the reception. He played banger after banger I don't think anyone left the dance floor other than to grab another drink!! his energy was incredible!! We weren't just looking for a DJ, we were also looking for a host and he surpassed all expectations he made the night run so super smooth. It also helps that he is hilarious and so easy to work with!!! Please book him you will not regret it. We will definitely be using him for other family weddings and even events that don't even require a DJ because he just makes the party fun!!! I would give a million stars if I could!!!

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.

I got married at the Kingsville Lodge on March 8th of this year, and it was truly a beautiful experience. The lodge itself is stunning and immaculate, with everything you could possibly need right at your fingertips. Sharyn, the owner, goes above and beyond to ensure your wedding day is nothing short of amazing. She even handled my photography! The landscaping is meticulously maintained, and you can tell a lot of thought goes into the upkeep of the property. We chose a wedding package that was perfect for my husband and me, which included photography, planning, decorations, setup, breakdown, and cleaning. Sharyn and Beth were incredible, going the extra mile to make sure my day was magical. I felt like a fairytale bride and didn’t have to worry about a thing. It was the perfect venue for our wedding, with 40 guests who all found it equally beautiful. The lodge offers multiple rooms that can accommodate up to 15 people overnight. The beds are incredibly comfortable, providing one of the best nights of sleep I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is relaxing, comfortable, and quiet. The kitchen is spacious and fully equipped with everything you might need. Our ceremony took place in front of the fireplace, which was breathtakingly beautiful in its simplicity. I highly recommend the Kingsville Lodge for weddings or any event. The property and house are well cared for, and Sharyn and her team are wonderful people. We also had our engagement photos taken there, and they turned out amazing. Inside, the lodge features beautiful wood trim throughout. The bathrooms are accommodating, with jacuzzi tubs in some rooms and multiple other bathrooms available. My 82-year-old mother loved it and found it easy to navigate. My husband and I stayed in the suite, watching the snowfall outside the windows, which was incredibly beautiful. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend this place for so many reasons.

We celebrated our marriage at Orchard Hills in September 2024 having booked the site in January 2023. We toured the venue and met the staff who were very friendly and professional, and we worked mainly with Livia through the planning process. With each step Livia offered great advice and feedback to help us make sure our day went as smoothly as possible. From suggesting trustworthy vendors to helping with day of setup, Livia and the staff helped take out some of the major headaches of wedding planning. What really stood out to us was the freedom to choose our own vendors. There were no hoops to jump through, no extra fees, and a plethora of decorations provided by the venue at no additional cost. We had our dream wedding and we could not have done it without the help and expertise of the kind and helpful staff at Orchard Hills. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to rent for any event.

Whitehall was the perfect choice for our wedding! I was apprehensive about having a big wedding at all and was perfectly content with eloping or going to a courthouse, but ultimately decided to have a wedding for our families and the memories. Julia at Whitehall made this entire experience such a dream for my now-husband and I. She’s the venue coordinator but is also an angel that every bride deserves in the months leading up to her wedding and on her wedding day. She answered every stupid question I had very quickly, and is on top of things with sending emails to remind you about scheduling your rehearsal, nailing down your timelines, etc. One of the best parts about this venue is that you drop all of your decor off on the Tuesday before your wedding and they set everything up for you throughout the week! I literally didn’t have to think about a thing and could just spend the days before relaxing and tying up loose ends! We didn’t even nail down our vision for the centerpieces and most of the decor until 10-14 days before the ceremony, but Julia absolutely nailed it and everything was so beautiful! The day of the wedding, her assistant, Brenda, checked in on us while we got ready to make sure we were doing okay and she was the sweetest and just as organized and on top of it as Julia was. Before, during and after the ceremony, as well as during the reception, Julia checked in with my husband and I so many times to make sure we were okay and got us drinks if we needed it. She took so much off my plate mentally the week of my wedding and that was just so special and I appreciated it in ways I don’t know how to explain in 3500 characters or less. This venue has a caterer that comes with it (Taste of Excellence) who were also great to work with, and not having to make that decision was insanely helpful. I mostly dealt with Mikaela and she was very helpful with all of my questions and even accommodated us to schedule a second food tasting (something I don’t think they normally do) because my parents wanted to completely change the food options after the first tasting lol. Whitehall also has a DJ company included (Selective Sound Entertainment) who were great as well! Their online portal to actually select your song requests is a little dated and, you only get 8 “must play” songs, and the rest are more like suggestions for the DJ during the party but to be honest our DJ Jordan kept it bumping all night and it was SO fun he even had the bartender dancing with us from her station! I really couldn’t imagine doing our wedding anywhere else. I can’t recommend it enough and I’ll scream it into the sky for anyone who will listen!

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!

Katie’s Kakes is truly such a great company to work with! With great prices, reasonable flexibility great communication and most importantly great food with beautiful work!

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.

Hi, I’m Vanna. I’m a documentary photographer near Cleveland. I hunt for the things that usually slip through the cracks. The heavy weight of a glance when no one else is looking. The way the light cuts across a room right before everything changes. The raw, unfiltered energy of the people you love most, caught in moments they don't even know are being watched. I want to capture the emotions that linger in a space long after the day is done. ♡

Having Vanna as our Wedding (and engagement!) photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Such a stress-free, playful energy during both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. We both love the photos so much and can't believe how beautiful the photos turned out.

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!

Hello! I'm Danny and I've wanted to be a filmmaker since I was seven years old. Wes Craven's "Scream" was the catalyst for having a camera in my hands. I have a need to tell stories that resonate with people and make them feel something. ​ I also happen to be a HUGE sap. I love filming weddings because I genuinely love seeing people at their absolute happiest. The opportunity to turn that happiness into art that couple's can look back on is so gratifying.

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!

Ciara & her husband were a great addition to the perfect day. Ciara walked us through certain parts of the day that we never even thought of beforehand. The pictures turned out perfectly, especially considering we are not naturals in front of the camera. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Tom’s Country Place, established in 1959. Our venue accommodates 80-450 guests. Located in a wooded area on 20 acres of scenic grounds, our beautiful gardens provide a picturesque setting for your wedding ceremony & photos. In 1945 a hard-working farmer, Thomas Hricovec had a vision to cater to families with a welcoming atmosphere. His wife, Mary, stood by him and dedicated her time to help him in their journey. The two worked together along with family & friends to make their dream come true. Using their farmland, the Hricovecs changed their lifestyle from farming food, to serving food as well. They broke ground in 1958 and celebrated their first wedding in the fall of 1959. Thomas & Mary instilled the importance of hard work and dedication in their family. Now, third-generation owner Bill Hricovec, a culinary graduate of Johnson & Wales, along with our team, integrates traditional family recipes with a mix of new and innovative menu selections to offer you a wide variety of choices.

We got married at Tom's Country Place on June 6th and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Ashley was incredible throughout the entire process—she answered our questions quickly, explained everything clearly, and made sure all our vendors had what they needed to do their jobs well. The space itself is gorgeous and plenty big for a celebration, with delicious food that our guests are still talking about. What really stood out was how affordable the venue is without cutting corners on quality or service. The staff went above and beyond to make our day special, and we'd recommend TCP to any couple looking for the perfect wedding venue!

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.
