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!

We had a fabulous wedding reception at the Donauschwaben German Cultural Center (Lenau Park). Their entire staff—from their awesome coordinator Christine to their banquet captain and bar staff—was so kind, so professional, and most importantly made our guests feel welcome and taken care of. Christine came to every meeting organized and prepared. She understands the details as well as the emotions that go into planning a wedding and was a great part of our support system. She is fair and reasonable—even helped us make a German Hall a little more “Italian” for the bride. We could not have asked for a better partner! As for the venue itself, it was the perfect place to host 300 of our closest friends and family. The space was beautiful, bright and happy. Our guests were comfortably seated at 32 round tables of 8 to 10. The team made all of our décor visions come to life. The outdoor patio was welcoming and comfortable for guests as well. The dance floor is huge! Perfect for an Italian tarantella. I would also say the room is set up well acoustically—with 300 people in the room and music playing, you could still hear the other people at your table. The entryway was also perfect for our receiving line. We were happy to see that guests could enjoy their time—whether they wanted to dance the night away, sit and chat, or just enjoy the night air with family. The food was excellent—seriously excellent. We got so many compliments after the wedding! They have their buffet line down to a science with all of our guests being served in a reasonable amount of time. They also did a great job of meeting the needs of our gluten- and dairy-free guests. That is so hard to do when you are feeding so many people, and even these guests said they enjoyed their meals. Finally, the money we spent on this wedding reception was well worth the value. The food and beverage packages are incredibly fair for the quality and the amount of food your guests will be served. We were also able to add appetizers and some special add-ons at a reasonable rate. The linens are provided by a separate vendor, but even those costs were not too bad, and everything looked beautiful when it was decorated! While there are certain rules the venue must follow and sometimes we needed to negotiate the details, Christine was highly transparent and upfront with us, and always worked with us to find the right solution for our day. After hosting our wedding here, we would absolutely do it again with this space and this team. When it comes to the Donauschwaben, we strongly recommend them for your wedding reception and cannot say enough good things about their level of service!

We had a great time working with Ashley for our wedding! When we first booked her she was communicative and quick to answer any questions we had. She helped out with our timeline and went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly. We ended up having to adjust our timeline the day of due to some delays at our venue and Ashley was flexible and still able to get to all of the couples portraits we wanted. My husband and I are not the best at taking photos lol but Ashley was easy to work with and we got some great candid as well as posed shots. The photos turned out beautiful and there are SO many to choose from. Ashley also kept us updated throughout the editing process. Highly recommend booking her!

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.

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!

My husband and I booked RAD Photography for our wedding that was in November 2024 - and they did an absolutely wonderful job! They are the nicest individuals, are super dedicated to their work and ensuring the clients are happy, helped us so much despite us being out of state and in a different time zone, and did I mention the great job? Our wedding photos came back phenomenal! We had the owner and her husband as a duo for the entire wedding. They captured all the little and big details, did exactly what we wanted with the inspo we sent (candid, photo “line up” with everyone after vows, etc.) and were just so sweet and caring through the entire experience. It’s hard to capture in only 10 photos!! She also made me feel so beautiful the entire time, was easy to talk to before/during/after, and helped take care of me (making sure I had snacks and water, tied my dresses bow since none of us knew how to, calmed me down when I was about to have an anxiety attack, and so many other little things that added up). They are amazing! We plan to hopefully use them again for baby showers & major life events as much as possible in the future - even if we have to travel many miles for it. :)

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!

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 am a local flower farmer and florist! I’ve been growing flowers and beekeeping for over 10 years. I love supplying local fresh flowers and creating beautiful unique florals for special events! You can also view the stunning Tallulah brides and their beautiful weddings and events on our social media.

Tallulah in Bloom is the one and only florist we could have asked for on our wedding day. They were fast to respond to all of our requests and never missed any details, ensuring our floral arrangements were professional, clean, elegant and detailed. Tallulah in Bloom made our day so special by creating the most beautiful arrangements on short notice - all of the elements were absolute perfection. We couldn't have asked for a better florist, and we can't wait to have them be a part of our future church wedding as well!

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.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with DJ Sunset for a wedding last year, and they were phenomenal! From the moment the music started, the energy was electric, and it stayed that way all night long. DJ Sunset has an incredible ability to read the crowd, keeping the dance floor packed with guests of all ages. Their transitions between songs were seamless, and the playlist perfectly matched the couple's unique vibe and vision for their big day. Not only is DJ Sunset exceptionally talented, but they were also professional, punctual, and an absolute joy to collaborate with. They worked closely with us to ensure the timeline and key moments (like the first dance and cake cutting) went off without a hitch, and they handled everything with such ease. If you're looking for a DJ who can turn your event into an unforgettable celebration, DJ Sunset is the one. We can't wait to work with them again in the future! Owner, Camela Lynn Weddings & Events

I am a harpist and attorney whose passion for music and justice inspires my creative process. I have diverse playing experiences spanning across my career as a harpist. I began playing harp at the age of 8. At the age of 9, I was invited to participate in Jocelyn Chang’s Harp Ensemble, a group of 12 talented harpist who played during the holiday season. I have also won awards at the Ohio Scottish Games. At Smith College, I played in Orchestra for the performance of Swan Lake, Wind Ensemble and the Celtic Ensemble known as the Wailing Banshees. I am always excited for new opportunities to share my passion for harp music!

Sarah is first and foremost, a beautiful musician. I have worked with her in the context of The Wailing Banshees Celtic ensemble and the Smith Wind Ensemble at Smith College and found her to be reliable, musically solid and an all-around lovely person. Recommended highly!
