Rivercrest farm was hands down the best vendor we booked for our wedding! Not only is the farm absolutely gorgeous (looks straight out of a magazine) but the team at Rivercrest Farm is top notch! Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how beautiful the barn was. We Highly recommend hiring Alex as a day of coordinator. “Day of” doesn’t describe the work she does! Alex set up meeting & sent emails to my other vendors allowing me to relax! Her communication skills are amazing & she is dedicated to making your day perfect! The barn was decorated by the time my bridal party got to the venue to get ready. I had made faux floral arrangements and Alex went out of her way to add some real flowers from our florist to make my table arrangements look more realistic! Another example of how “on it” she is- we did private vows on their hilltop at sunset, both my fiancé and I realized we had forgotten our vow books back at the barn. Alex already grabbed them and had them in her car! What a relief it was to know she had them. I cannot recommend Alex and Rivercrest Farm enough! I promise it will be the best wedding decision you make!

AMAZING! Naomi is such an amazing photographer and person! Her art work is amazing, we just got out couple/engagement session photos back and they turned out even better than I expected. She has always been easy to get ahold of and on time when we met up. She made the whole photo session fun and playful. I am so excited to see how our wedding photos turn out!!!

Tim Greathouse, Ohio Wedding Officiant 
Rating: 5.0 (83 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Officiant
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $150
  • Serves Dover, OH

What’s the right wedding ceremony for a religiously independent couple? A courthouse ceremony is cold, impersonal, and over in a flash. A church ceremony is usually just a long sermon to which your actual ceremony is a sideshow. Pick your poison - a quick, dry affair with no heart, or a long, tedious slog that flies in the face of your worldview. Or... chuck that poison and grab the champagne. I got you, boo! I perform deeply personal, customizable ceremonies for couples who care about the content of their ceremony and want the declaration of their love and commitment to be truly unforgettable. 800+ ceremonies, 500+ rehearsals, 17 years!

Awarded Best of Zola
Like any great love story! The moment I found Tim’s website, I knew he was the one! The last line of my vows was “Till your unsolvable murder do us part”. Not just any man is up for that job. I knew he would see the humor of it. What I didn’t know was how amazing of a person he really is. The poem he read. Was so spot on for us! We settled who would read their vows first over a game of rock, paper, scissors. We laughed so much. He truly made the ceremony so memorable! I highly recommend Tim!

Couples can schedule a consultation and tasting to sample flavors before deciding on their favorite. From tiered to sheet cakes, macarons to tarts, she is happy to create a custom design exclusively for each couple.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had a destination wedding in Canton (at the Pro Football Hall of Fame). We were there for 6 days and our wedding cake was the best thing I ate all week. I had three pieces at my reception! Not to mention it was gluten-free and my guests didn't even know. There was barely any left to take home. The to-go style of cake tasting was a lot of fun. We made a trip over Christmas and picked up several flavors of cake and frosting. There was enough for us to share with both of our families. For 75 guests we did the largest two-tiered cake offered. The bottom layer was GF chocolate with toffee-coffee buttercream and cream cheese frosting. The top tier was GF lemon with strawberry buttercream. I sent Chef Gina some inspiration photos and she made exactly what I had in mind. It was our football teams' colors marbled into white buttercream. The only negative is that I don't live anywhere close to Ohio and I looked on our website to see if she ships to Los Angeles (I don't think so).

We recently had our wedding at Elm Ridge with their all-inclusive package. The venue was very easy to work with and communicated well when we had questions. Sarah was beyond helpful during our final meeting with suggestions and tips for planning our timeline. The DJ, Jeff, was very knowledgeable and kept both the ceremony and reception running smoothly. All the food was great and the reception room is perfect, especially with the uplighting! Overall, we felt Elm Ridge was affordable and a good value for how many vendors and items are included. It was also a very nice touch when they threw in chair covers for free on the day of our wedding. We had plenty of food to bring home which was a nice surprise and all the staff was wonderful and even helped to hunt down one of our personal pieces of silverware that got lost in the shuffle. Would highly recommend!

We cannot say enough good things about Edd! He DJ’d our wedding this past September and absolutely crushed it from start to finish. He also DJ’d my sister’s wedding, so we already knew we were in great hands—and he still exceeded our expectations. Edd truly understands electronic-style music and can mix seamlessly, which kept the dance floor packed all night long. The energy never dipped, the transitions were flawless, and the vibe was exactly what we wanted. On top of his talent, he has an amazing personality—professional, fun, and so easy to work with. He knows how to read the room and keep the party going without missing a beat. He’s DJ’ing my best friend’s wedding this coming June. We’d recommend Edd to anyone who wants a packed dance floor and a DJ who has exceptional talent and skill! —Ashley & David Hudoba

When I'm not at a wedding, you can find me thrifting, reading a romance novel, or sipping a fun drink. I graduated from KSU with a B.S. in Hospitality & Event Management. Before BRB, I worked closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies to bring hundreds of *fairytale weddings* to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own! I'm so honored to have had the opportunity to work with so many incredible couples & vendors around the world.

Working with Brooklyn Rain Brides was an incredible experience! Finding Brooklyn felt like fate! She was everything we needed in a planner. My husband and I decided on having a small wedding in a short amount of time and it was better than I ever imagined due to Brooklyns' help! The planning stage was organized, productive and so much fun. I felt like I was chatting with a good friend during our meetings. The moment Brooklyn arrived to the venue on our wedding day, all of my stress vanished. She took my cell phone and really took charge! I was able to finally unwind and really be present with my now husband. She designed a gorgeous sweet heart table and flower arrangements for our reception. Brooklyn made sure that we, the Bride and Groom, were well looked after during the very busy day. From our very first interaction, Brooklyns' communication was organized, calming, and positive. We cannot recommend her team highly enough! *Brooklyn came up with the idea to take photos in the elevator and those are by far my favorite photos in our wedding album!

Our clients aren’t just a way for us to make a living. We want every couple to love their video, passionately. We want our couples to show their video to their family and friends, their kids and grandkids for the next 20, 30, 50 years… We want our clients to love watching their video as much as we loved making it. We love what we do and it shows.

Thank you to Nick and his team for the incredible work they did on our wedding video. We had heard wonderful things from a work colleague and decided to go with Work Shed based on their rave review. The work on Work Shed's website also spoke for itself. Everything leading up to the day was simple and smooth. On wedding day, they both captured the small details we requested and the special moments we didn't mention but just had the experience to know were important - those we will forever cherish, while being in the background through it all. We have already watched the video an endless amount of times. After the first viewing we were in tears and agreed that choosing to invest in this video by Work Shed was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding.

Azure Strings was absolutely wonderful! They played as a three-piece string ensemble at my son's wedding and truly made the day even more special. Mary was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. She made the booking process easy, maintained excellent communication throughout, and was incredibly accommodating. We had a special request for "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" to be played as the ring bearer and flower girl walked down the aisle, and Mary was more than happy to make it happen. The music was beautiful and added so much magic and elegance to the ceremony. The musicians were professional, talented, and genuinely kind. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

If you are looking for a day of coordinator you NEED to hire Melissa and Kourtney! They were nothing but amazing! I hired them for day of coordination for prior to that you’ll have 2 meetings and be able to call/text Melissa about anything you’ll need! She did a fantastic job coordinating the rehearsal and making sure everyone knew what they were doing. The day of the hemming on my underskirt was falling apart because my shoes had rhinestones and I could barely walk because how tangled it was! The minute Melissa and Kourtney got there, they pulled out their scissors and safety pins and fixed my dress in no time! They set up my ceremony space which was absolutely beautiful and made sure everyone and everything was where it needed to be for the ceremony. After the ceremony they brought out ice water since it was so hot and then later brought us food from the cocktail hour and drinks. Which was great since we were starving! I didn’t have a dj because we had an intimate wedding and the yard games out in the patio, so Melissa announced everything for us which was amazing! I just couldn’t had made this wedding everything I’ve dreamed of without her and Kourtney! I’m sure there’s at least a million other things they did that I’m just forgetting right now that made my wedding perfect! I would give them 1,000 out of 1,000 stars if I could!

Gervasi Vineyard was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. Their communication style was very detailed, though it sometimes took a while to get a response, but they were extremely helpful overall. The quality of their work and the value was exceptional - the space, both indoor and outdoor, was absolutely gorgeous, with stunning backdrops everywhere we looked. The coordinators at Gervasi were a big help, assisting with the setup and even providing my husband and I with a special dessert. While the venue felt very high-end and luxurious, the conservatory option allowed us to stay within our budget. Overall, it was the most beautiful day we could have imagined, and we are so grateful to the team at Gervasi Vineyard for making our wedding day truly special.

I can’t say enough good things about the amazing chinwe, who brought all of our sweet moments to life! She made our wedding cake, mini cakes, full dessert table, and even our baby shower cake — and everything was absolutely perfect. Not only were the cakes beautiful and elegant, but every single item tasted just as good as it looked. Our guests are still talking about the desserts! She was easy to work with, super accommodating, and put so much care into every detail. You can truly tell she love what they do. I highly recommend her for any special occasion — you won’t be disappointed!

J Helbig Cheese-Free DJ+MC 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,701
  • Serves Dover, OH

We’ve all witnessed this: A wedding DJ who thought they were the main event – the endless mic chatter, the forced games, the tacky props, and the "impromptu" dance lessons that kill the momentum of a perfectly good night. It’s tacky, it’s insulting to your guests and – quite frankly – I’m over it!   Which is why I built a brand that does the exact opposite with a different set of rules. A boutique, "Non-Cheesy, Non-Obnoxious" experience where the vibe is comfortable, inclusive, organic FUN and where the soundtrack doesn't suck. Because it reflects you! Just like your reception should.

Jack was a true partner during our wedding planning and on our day. He worked with us on song selection (there were a couple of songs we drew a blank on), helped fine-tune the schedule of events and worked with our photographer and venue to iron out the details and make sure they were all on the same page. We kept the song selection up to him as much as we could, providing some "dos" and "don't" and he did the rest. We got several comments on the music after the fact from both friends and family, so he managed to please both crowds. I'd highly recommend Jack to anyone.

Our October wedding was a whirlwind, but the drinks somehow became a talking point long after the night ended. The strawberry lemon drop martini was SO POPULAR. What I appreciated most was never having to think about the bar at all — guests weren’t waiting around, and everything just flowed. They even jumped in and helped fill water glasses before dinner without being asked, which felt above and beyond. Even months later, people still ask us who we hired because they want the same kind of experience.
