Sevi Kontokanis Photography 

5.0

Lakewood, OH
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,400

Hi, I'm Sevi! I'm a Cleveland-based wedding, elopement, and boudoir photographer documenting honest, artful love stories across Ohio and beyond. I'm drawn to deep connections, golden light, and the little in-between moments that make your day uniquely yours. Whether you're planning a big celebration or an intimate adventure, I'm here to guide you, hype you up, and capture every moment with care and intention.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had a specific vision for our photos, and Sevi absolutely delivered. Her style is moody and vintage, and her attention to detail is amazing. From the beginning, Sevi was communicative and helpful. She provided a guide for wedding planning, photographed our engagement shoot beautifully, and even introduced us to her husband, Jeff, who officiated our wedding. The day of, she arrived with a second photographer and captured all the moments you want, to include candid ones we didn’t even think of. She provided a sneak peek in a few weeks, and the rest of the 800 photos in approximately 3 months. The wait was worth it as she went through each photo of the thousands she took and provided an album that perfectly curated our day. I couldn’t recommend Sevi more. Thanks, Sevi!

Sterling Alchemy was the perfect wedding planning partner for us. Their communication was instant, fun, flexible, friendly, and caring throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly spectacular - they were awesome, amazing, and phenomenal in every way. For example, they served us at our buffet so we could enjoy our meal at a normal pace, and they ran our timeline so smoothly that we never felt rushed, even when we had a tight window for sunset photos. Amber made our lives so easy, and we are forever thankful for her incredible service. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner! Plus, she made our seating chart! Pictures below.

Woodland Coffee Co. 

5.0

Lakewood, OH
  • Bar services & beverages
  • Starts at $650

Hey there! My name's Brennan. When my fiancé Juliet and I, newly engaged, settled into our new life together in Cleveland, Ohio, we decided to create something based off of our passion for good coffee. Taking inspiration from our favorite specialty cafes, we both decided to finally start building our dream, in the form of a coffee cart. We opened for business in May of 2024 and have been doing weekly events ever since! Since then, our goal has been to transition from our weekly market to private events, especially weddings. We want to be that special addition to your wedding and are dedicated to making that happen.

Woodland Coffee Co. is proof that big things can come in small packages! This charming coffee cart is a must-visit for coffee enthusiasts in Cleveland. Despite its compact setup, Woodland delivers on quality, offering some of the best-crafted drinks in the city. The best part of Woodland Coffee Co. is the vibe. Brennan and Juliet are incredibly friendly and passionate, happy to chat about your drink, recommending something new, or just wanting to chat. The cart itself is stylish and thoughtfully designed, adding a unique touch to Cleveland’s coffee scene (they also built it themselves)!! This would be one of the best options for a corporate event, wedding, or gathering for anyone looking for a tasty drink and great vibes during their event.

Micro- Wedding and Shower Event Venues! (Capacity is 2-44 for a seated dinner reception) Located within a thoughtfully restored & curated 1920's building, we offer a picturesque setting with the original tin ceiling, huge picture windows and refinished hardwood floors. Our venue spans 900 square feet, allowing you to comfortably host your favorite people, whether you're aiming for simple elegance or a bold, imaginative theme. We can seat up to 44 at tables or 50-60 mix and mingle. Additionally, The CoLab features convenient amenities such as off-street parking, a kitchenette with dishes, cutlery as well as a coffee/tea station, an ADA restroom, a cozy dressing suite, dining tables and chairs, as well as soft furnishings, all provided at no extra charge. We absolutely love providing options for you to host the day, your way!

Why you'll love this venue

  • Dressing room available
  • Perfect for a micro-wedding
  • Provides a dedicated team on-site

Venue considerations

  • Lighting and sound are not included
  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Can not accomodate large big events
My husband and I initially wanted to elope. That is, until, we found this space. If you want your wedding day to feel like an absolute dream, while still being intimate and beautiful, you need to book CoLab. We had our ceremony there, and it was perfection from start to finish. Maureen is truly everything—she was with us every step of the way, making sure everything was just right and exactly what we wanted and hoped for. She handled every curveball and question with total grace. The space itself is gorgeous. It's airy while still being moody. There are so many beautiful details around the space that make for a perfect backdrop. The decor adds so much to the space without taking away from your event. CoLab is gorgeous but I truly believe that it’s Maureen that makes it special. She genuinely cares about her clients, and it shows. I felt like I had a close friend there for me as we were waiting for the ceremony to begin, which is exactly what you want and need. Someone in your corner, hyping you up, and bringing the kindest presence to the day. Even if you opt out of her being there for you day-of, know that everything she does behind the scenes before the event is worth the cost and then some. If you want a ceremony spot that feels like a cozy, beautiful home for your big day, this is it. And if you’re on the fence—just do it. You’ll thank me later! (If you're doing ceremony-only at CoLab, I'd recommend that you book the extra lounge space, trust me! We booked both spaces and it made for such a seamless day and gave folks a place to mignle and chat before and after the ceremony!)

The Lake Erie Building 

5.0

Lakewood, OH
  • Venue
  • Up to 349 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $4,000

Five fun facts about the Lake Erie Building: 1. We were originally built to be Templar Motors back in 1917. There were less than 3,000 of these cars ever manufactured and if you look carefully, you may even be able to spot one while in the event space! 2. Omni Lakewood purchased the building in 2005 and now manages the building, which has been divided into individual suites that are home to over 100 businesses. 3. The west parking lot where our dock is located used to be a test track for Templar Motors. 4. We host only one event per weekend and give our clients access beginning on Wednesday so they can bring in all their personal touches! We also only require cards and gifts go with them that night and everything else can stay giving you more time to spend with your new spouse! 5. We include a private parking lot and have a huge municipal lot across the street that's available to guests. We offer 3 wedding rental packages.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides event staff
  • Accommodates more than 200 guests
  • Wheelchair accessible

Venue considerations

  • No built-in audiovisual options
  • Does not have a dance floor
  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
Lake Erie Building is the perfect venue if you want to decorate your space exactly as you want it! Having early access to the space days before the wedding was worth its weight in gold. And the “bones” of the space are stunning. The venue coordinator, Hannah, was great to work with too. She gave us great recommendations for vendors and insight into the planning process. The reason for the 4 stars for the clarity of communication is because the contract had some inaccurate information, which I found annoying because I’m a “rules” person. But I can’t recommend this venue enough!!

Lamb Photography 

5.0

Lakewood, OH
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800

My name is Allie but most of my friends and family call me Lamb. I am a visual storyteller fueled by caffeine! Cleveland Scene ranked me the #1 photographer on Best of Cleveland. I would describe my photography style as timeless & classic and consider myself an emotional photographer. I love capturing the in-between moments or candid moments but I also give a ton of cues and direction when needed! I want you and your spouse to enjoy your special day and trust that it will be captured in the most authentic way. My goal is to be the ultimate hype girl behind the camera. Capturing core memories in the form of photos is my literal dream come.

I have no idea where to begin on this review. Allie was hands down the best thing to happen to us (both to the wedding and to our lives). She has a genuine talent for capturing moments that cannot be put into words. They are absolutely breathtaking and tell such a beautiful story. Quick back story, my father had a massive stroke about a month before the wedding. I was ready to call off the wedding because I couldn’t stand the thought of my Dad not being there. Every day the answer changed if he would be able to come and she did nothing but offer love, support, prayers and guidance. Good news, Dad was able to come and she fully understood the importance of capturing our family and the love that surrounded our wedding day and let me tell you, the photos are breathtaking. I get so emotional looking back at them and it allows me to truly relive the best day of our lives (even more than our wedding video). She went far above and beyond and we will never be able to thank her enough for that. I not only found the BEST (no lie, literally, the best) photographer but gained an absolute angel of a friend who will remain in my life forever. Do yourself a favor and book her. Legit, now. Go! Don’t hesitate, don’t wait. You will not regret this decision. It will be your best thing you do for your big day! (Or any other important event/milestone).

Liv Lobas Photography

Lakewood, OH
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,050

Welcome to Liv Lobas Photography, where I specialize in natural light and lifestyle photography from my base in Cleveland, Ohio. I'm Liv, and my passion lies in capturing the authentic essence of people's lives. I believe in embracing the beauty of imperfections – from messy hair to well-lived-in spaces – and celebrating the genuine moments of love, light, and laughter that make each story unique.

Liv Lobas Photography was amazing to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was "we can in one" - they were so encouraging and supportive throughout the entire process. The quality of their work and value was truly professional, fun, engaging and encouraging. We kept feeling like we weren't very photogenic people, but Liv kept correcting us and assuring us that we were wrong about that. From the engagement photos to the wedding day, Liv went above and beyond, always being on the move to capture every special moment. Liv is a true talent and is great at her craft, but she is also an amazing person. We love every single shot she took and are so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully.

Maggie Mitchell Events

Lakewood, OH
  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services

Based in Cleveland, Ohio, Maggie Mitchell Events is a wedding and event planning company. This team's mission is to provide effortless and unforgettable events. They are here to advocate for and create ever-lasting relationships with every client, so you can feel comfortable and entrust them with planning your most special day.

I cannot say enough good things about Maggie as a wedding planner and person. We hired Maggie to plan our wedding from start to finish and it was the best decision we made. To offer context, we tasked Maggie with taking an old, rather outdated country club, and asked her to transform the venue all while managing accommodations for over 260 people. Additionally, the country club was a complete blank canvas which required us to bring in vendors for every single detail. Not only did Maggie handpick top-notch vendors and successfully manage them all, but she did so with the most calm and pleasant demeanor. The country club manager said that out of the many wedding planners he has worked with over the years, Maggie is by far the best because she was enjoyable to work with and incredibly good at her job. We couldn't agree more. My entire family is thankful for Maggie and what she did for us. She was a rockstar from the moment we met her and even after the wedding when she kindly held a ton of wedding supplies at her home so that we didn't have to worry about grabbing them the day after the wedding. As a bride who has dreamed of her wedding day for as long as I can remember, I can confidently say Maggie Mitchell Events made my dreams come true!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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

Lake Affect was the perfect venue for our wedding in May 2025! It was our first and last venue we looked at. First, they only do 1 wedding/event a weekend - which made us feel prioritized and we didn’t have to rush to set up. The space is so cool and you can make it your own style. We got so many compliments of the space and how great it looked. The prices are BEYOND fair - plus the bar service is in house and we had to choose a caterer from their list; we loved that because it was less looking around. They are constantly updating the space to make it better and updated. Stefanie was absolutely fantastic and answered all my questions and was always so prompt! If you’re looking for a space to make your own, Lake Affect is an absolute hidden gem.

Pinstripes Cleveland was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. From the moment we first inquired, Jamie B., the event coordinator, was prompt, professional, and incredibly friendly throughout the entire planning process. The space itself was truly unique and vibrant, with a fun, family-friendly atmosphere that all of our guests absolutely loved. We especially enjoyed the opportunity for our guests to bowl during the cocktail hour - it was a huge hit! Jamie B. our event coordinator from Pinstripes executed our vision flawlessly, and we would highly recommend Pinstripes Cleveland to any couple looking for a one-of-a-kind wedding celebration.
