You can't go wrong with DJ Chris! We worked with him on our wedding day this fall and we couldn't have asked for a more accommodating and easy DJ to work with. Chris communicated with us ahead of the event to discuss music preferences (including a must play and do not play list) and confirmed all the little details to make sure the day went smoothly. We got so many compliments on our party playlist and DJ Chris kept the dance floor rocking the whole night! He also did a great job accommodating requests from our guests and checking in with us to make sure the music at the event was exactly what we wanted to hear. On top of all of that, Chris played the acoustic guitar during our ceremony and really wowed us and our guests at his ability to cover the songs we loved. We couldn't recommend DJ Chris more!

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!

I’ve worked alongside Andrea on countless weddings over the last several years and I’m always blown away by the quality and quantity of florals! If you love color, she is definitely the one for you! Many of my clients haven’t been sure of what they wanted for florals, but Andrea has been able to take one photo and again and again and bring the client’s vision to life. Amazing quality and the prices are fair and affordable!

Donauschwaben's German-American Cultural Center was the perfect venue for our daughter & son-in-law’s wedding. The location to the airport, highway and hotel were ideal. Their property provided plenty of parking. The wedding was outside on a 92 day and was flawless. It was hot, but the trees were in the perfect position to shade the entire patio. The entire staff was amazing. The reception space was transformed into a beautiful space for our special celebration. Our family and friends shared with us how delicious the appetizers, meal and “aftertizers” of the homemade pretzels. Christine the Event Manager went above and beyond and made sure the day was special for everyone. She answered all of my questions, even up to the last minute. We were so impressed with how many times Christine checked in with us to make sure we were happy. We highly recommend Donauschwaben’s German-American Cultural Center.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for a moody, dreamy, romantic wedding photographer, look no further! Carly is absolutely incredible! My husband (then fiancé) and I were searching for a wedding photographer in the Cleveland area when we stumbled upon Drzazga Photo. Best thing to happen to us!! Early on in my planning I knew my wedding aesthetic was going to be boho rustic and I wanted a photographer who would be able to capture it well. We found that in Carly, and honestly, she can make any wedding style look fantastic in her photos!! If you haven’t checked out her work, DO IT ASAP! Not only are the photos she takes beautiful, but Carly’s eye for angles and poses is astounding. She’s incredibly talented and SUPER sweet. Both my husband and I are uncomfortable in front of the camera, but when working with Carly, she made us feel super comfortable and being photographed by her was actually fun. She’s also available at a really great price. While searching for photographers with similar style and quality, we found most of them were way out of our price range. Now that she has an associate team, you can get the same quality for even a bit cheaper! I didn’t work with the associate team, so I can’t speak to how they interact with their clients, but if you can, don’t skimp on having Carly shoot for you, I promise you won’t regret it! She not only gives you great quality for a great value, but she even includes an engagement photoshoot! (Although complimentary, the photos we got blew us out of the water and also got us really excited to see what she would be able to do at our wedding!) Spoiler alert: she crushed it! We are floored by how good the wedding photos turned out and we haven’t got the whole gallery back yet!! Also, Carly is SO incredibly accommodating! She drove all the way from Cleveland to Columbus just to do our engagement photos because it was more convenient for us!!! Her dedication to her clients is UNRIVALED! I can’t say enough good things about Carly and the team at Drzazga photo!! I’m just so happy we were able to snag her before she booked up!! (She’s a hot commodity, so if you’re even remotely considering her, book her or you might miss out on her magic!) We are keeping her contact info saved because we will certainly be reaching out for any professional photos in the future!! Thank you, Carly, Kasey, and team!!! You guys are the best!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot say enough amazing things about Joe and Ashley! From start to finish, they were an absolute dream to work with. Their warmth and friendliness instantly put us at ease, making the entire experience feel effortless and fun. The calls before the wedding to go over details were incredibly helpful, ensuring everything ran smoothly on the big day. One thing that meant a lot to me was getting specific photos with certain family members and bridal party groups, and Joe and Ashley made that happen seamlessly. Being able to send them a list of must-have shots was such a relief, and they powered through it all while still keeping things fun and natural. Those photos will be cherished for a lifetime! And if you’re on the fence about video—DO IT. Having a beautifully edited video with sound clips woven in so perfectly brought our wedding day back to life in a way that photos alone just can’t. The way they captured every little moment, every emotion—it’s truly priceless. Joe and Ashley are not just incredibly talented at what they do, but they also make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer who genuinely care, are highly organized, and will capture your wedding day in the most perfect way possible, look no further. We are beyond grateful!

Together, we’ve captured over 600 weddings, blending professionalism with creativity and a whole lot of fun. Our mission is to make your wedding day stress-free, memorable, and uniquely yours. Whether we’re sharing a laugh, adjusting the tiniest details, or cheering you on during your first dance, we’re here to capture every special moment with care and authenticity. We love capturing weddings, maternity, newborn, child milestones, boudoir ect. We are PROUD LGBTQ+ allies!

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. :)

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!

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.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Classic, vintage atmosphere
  • Space for a large guest list
  • Multiple event spaces

  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
  • Limited cleanup and setup services
  • Lighting and sound are not included
Awarded Best of Zola
Being in the event industry ourselves, we knew finding a team of key partners to work with would be pivotal to success for our wedding. Anthony and Daryl at The Madison knocked it out of the park. We wanted a fun, unique and industrial-vibe venue and this venue provides all that and so much more. It is a blank canvas that truly allows you to turn it into whatever your vision may be. The service, ideas, and personal attention the team at The Madison give each event is incredible. From our first meeting with them, we knew they were the team for us to create a successful and memorable wedding. They offer a variety of bar package tiers to fit your budget and are able to accommodate custom / signature drinks for an additional personal touch. The bar staff they provide are true sweethearts. When it comes to load in / setup, they are there to not only help you, but are willing to accommodate anything and everything you may need. The venue offers a variety of different spaces to accommodate everything from a cocktail hour, ceremony, reception and outdoor spaces all at one venue. Truly, everything you could ask for. There are a handful of preferred caterers they work well with to provide anything you could need from a catering perspective. The venue is a blank slate, and with that, allows you to add your own creativity to develop the event you vision. Ample amount of available electric also allows for pretty much any level of production you are looking to host here. The venue is great, but - as mentioned above - it is the people who truly build your team. The two gentlemen who run this facility (Anthony and Daryl) are the ones behind the magic here. They honestly care and have your event’s best interest in mind. They are willing to step in and assist on anything needed and are truly team players when it comes to building your vendor team. Thank you to the two of you for making our wedding dreams come true. — Jeff & Cierra

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.

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. If you're looking for a team that will not only deliver stunning, timeless memories but also make the process feel joyful and effortless, we truly can’t recommend Human Artist enough.

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.

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 started my journey as photographer in 2023. My work speaks for itself. Love to capture moments that always last forever. Passionate about my work, and do all my best to capture all moment beautifully.

From the very first email, Sixteen22 Photography LLC was incredibly responsive and professional in all of their communication with us. They have an amazing eye for detail and her editing skills truly elevated the quality of our wedding photos. Khushbu has worked numerous events, including some modeling shoots, so she was able to seamlessly capture all the special moments throughout our wedding day. We are thrilled with the final images and couldn't be happier with the value and service Sixteen22 Photography provided.

I love to tell a good story. My venture into the video production field started in high school at the school tv station and then grew from there. I graduated from Bowling Green and while in school was working at the local CBS station in Toledo. That's where I learned how to tell a good story and it has progressed into weddings. I moved back to the Cleveland area in 2017 and started my own company in 2018 and have been covering weddings and events since.

I have worked with Matt several times as a wedding coordinator and he is punctual, professional and his creativity is phenomenal. Every video is stunning. You definitely get quality work when you hire Matt! As a fellow vendor, I can say Matt is a delight to have around. I always recommend him to all of my clients.

Glassburn Photography was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. Their communication was great and straight to the point, which we really appreciated as we planned our big day. The photographers were true professionals and their work was seasoned and incredible - they captured all the special moments so beautifully. My husband is not someone who loves being photographed, but Randy made him feel so comfortable and at ease, and the photos of us came out stunning. We are thrilled with how everything turned out and couldn't recommend Glassburn Photography more highly.

I've been behind the camera more years that not. I've gotten on lots of planes, driven many miles, and gotten up before the sun for the sake of a good story. I like collaborating and telling a story that resonates true to my subjects.

Nicole made my partner and I immediately feel at ease and comfortable from the time we first met. She communicates consistently with ease and kindness. She was someone I could talk through things with for planning photos ops to make sure the small soecial moments were captured in an organic way. She and Tyler both were so funny and kind, making my husband and I both feel like we had friends that were there with us for some of the most intimate moments of our relationship. This is an important aspect that I didn’t realize until we were in the wedding! Nicole and tyler both have an incredible way to capture their vision effortlessly. They brought our day to life through photos- which was extra meaningful because we did not have a videographer. We were so appreciative when they took our disposable cameras and developed the photos, seamlessly integrating them into our online album. Nicole and tyler have a way of capturing the saturated, golden, sparkly feeling we felt all throughout the day in photo 3 it is so important to have a photographer that makes you feel comfortable and Nicole is just that & more

I have always loved photography, people, and creating art. Weddings encompass all of that. There is nothing better than getting to know two people, learning their love story, and capturing the raw moments and emotion of one of the biggest days of their lives. I'm passionate (and perhaps a bit perfectionistic!) and I have photographed hundreds of weddings and portraits in Ohio since opening my business in 2011. I can't wait to see what comes next!

Jen is an amazing photographer and a wonderful person! Jen is professional, kind, and truly cares about her clients! Jen took the photos for our wedding, which was planned for 2020, and every time we had to change the date, she was very accommodating and offered to help us in any way she could! Jen captured every detail of our day perfectly and returned our pictures in a very timely manner! I cannot recommend Jennifer Elizabeth Photography enough, and I am excited to have Jen capture more pictures in the future!

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 hired DJ Sunset for Great Lakes Brewing Co's Halloween Bash in 2024, and it as by far the best decision we made. He not only went above and beyond by coming in costume and providing lighting, he tore the house down! Knows how to read the crowd, know how to keep the dance floor going and the people sweating. 10 out of 10 would recommend and plan to utilize his services again this year.
