We had such a great experience with the whole team at Flower & Oak. They filmed our wedding on 9/6/2025 and everything from start to finish was great. They were fast to communicate and answer any questions we had ahead of time and then we worked with Patrick day of. Patrick was wonderful and so easy to work with - he captured so many beautiful moments and we are so happy with the results. Additionally, they delivered the videos in a timely manner and were responsive to any questions we had afterwards.

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!

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!

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!

The Flower Petal was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From our first interaction, Andrea and her team were incredibly timely, thorough, and friendly in their communication. Their floral design was truly visionary - the bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony decor they created were Pinterest-board worthy and absolutely stunning. They were true floral experts, paying meticulous attention to every detail to bring our vision to life. Andrea and her team were punctual for set up, had the most beautiful arrangements, and even added extra special touches like arranging the bridesmaid bouquets for detail shots and sprinkling extra petals in the ceremony space. They went above and beyond, returning at the end of the evening to collect the rental items so we didn't have to. The Flower Petal provided the best customer experience, were fairly priced, and truly made our wedding day dreams come true.

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.

Why you'll love this venue

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

Venue considerations

  • 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

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!

I am an event coordinator/ florist who has been doing independent work for over a decade.

From there I began taking referrals only and have recently begun taking a more formal route.

Back in 2021, Alyssa was our florist and day of coordinator. As soon as we hired her, she immediately jumped into action and was very responsive and willing to work with us. When I told her my vision for what kind of flowers I wanted she sent me over some ideas that she had as well as responded to some of the ideas I sent to her. It felt like we were a team the entire time and she made me feel comfortable, and that my opinion was wanted. As our day of coordinator, she made sure to communicate with all of our vendors and facilitate the events of the day in a way that made sense for all those involved. I did not have to worry at all when I knew Alyssa was my day of coordinator. I could just focus on marrying my best friend. Thank you, Alyssa. I cannot recommend you enough!

If you are looking for a warm, blank canvas space with an intimate feel, I HIGHLY recommend touring Lake Affect! As soon as my husband and I walked into the space we knew it was the one. So at least go look. Our vision came to life so beautifully, too. (Make sure you use up-lighting.) It could have been the newlywed high, but the atmosphere felt so heavenly and romantic. Stefanie was an amazing venue coordinator throughout the whole process. She answered the many questions I had leading up to the day and made sure all the vendors were where they needed to be. I planned my wedding from Pittsburgh and she made sure I felt comfortable and confident with the process throughout. They didn't have a bunch of hidden fees and the pricing felt reasonable compared to other venues and has the bar package included. Great value IMO. I also loved that we had basically all of Friday to set up the venue for Saturday. If you're in Cleveland and interested in the industrial vibe, make sure you check Lake Affect Studios out. It's an underrated venue.

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. For her, makeup is not just something that she can put on in the morning, or before she goes out, but it is something she puts her time and effort into doing and perfecting. 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!

DJ Sunset was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! From our initial meetups and emails to nail down the song choices, he was communicative, flexible, and clearly wanted to make sure we were thrilled with the music. On the day of, he was super fun and relaxed, and kept the dance floor packed with his great song selection and energy. We loved that he let us choose some non-traditional songs that were special to us, and he really kept the party going all night long. What a great guy - DJ Sunset provided amazing value and was a huge part of making our wedding day so memorable!
