  • Serves Lorain, OH

You’ve got the ring, found the dream destination or venue, definitely at least thought about the dress - now all you have to do is find THE photographer. The one who’s down to travel, down to party, and most of all, down to help you perfect alllll the details of your dream day. I’ve been photographing intimate weddings in Ohio + beyond for the last 10 years - there’s nothing I don’t know about getting hitched, and nothing I don’t love about it.

Fullem Films 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Lorain, OH
  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $3,000

Hello! I'm Danny and I've wanted to be a filmmaker since I was seven years old. Wes Craven's "Scream" was the catalyst for having a camera in my hands. I have a need to tell stories that resonate with people and make them feel something. ​ I also happen to be a HUGE sap. I love filming weddings because I genuinely love seeing people at their absolute happiest. The opportunity to turn that happiness into art that couple's can look back on is so gratifying.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could reccomend Fullem Films to every single bride and grooms to be, I would. Going through the process of picking vendors we wanted a photographer and videographer that really valued the art and creativity aspect of their work, and also made their work feel like "us". Fullem Films did this, and went above and beyond. Not only did we get a sneak peek video the DAY AFTER our wedding, but the actual highlight feel video takes me right back to our special day: capturing the moments that stick out in my memory. 10/10 work, and if I could give him 10 stars -- I would.

Merkels Floral Studio 
Rating: 5.0 (23 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $10,000
  • Serves Lorain, OH

Founded in 1940, when we say we have decades of experience, we really mean it. Since then our love for flowers and our team has only grown. Day to day you can catch us designing floral arrangements and delivering them by the truck full. We source locally whenever possible (of course). We especially love weddings and just adore our brides. Aside from that, we are probably spending any other spare time cheering on fellow entrepreneurs and our favorite vendors of this industry. We love to pour back into our city by supporting local events, schools, and the animal shelter. And we could go on of course, but there is a word limit :)

Awarded Best of Zola
When I first got engaged I knew immediately that I wanted Kristin and her team at Merkels to be our florist. Kristin's attention to detail, willingness to try anything, and overall easy-going personality made the entire planning process with her so smooth. When we sat down to discuss the vision I had for my wedding I told her I was thinking blues, purples, whites, and I wanted the entire place to give off a coastal Italian vibe - which I was positive made no sense, but Kristin was the biggest yes-woman. She immediately understood what I wanted and was so helpful when sitting down to discuss what I was thinking for the wedding. On top of this, she was incredibly conscious of our budget and worked with me to make sure I got everything I wanted within my price range! Another thing I never got to compliment on was her memory & attention to details; I had asked for Dahlias and Peonies in my bouquet if possible - knowing it was probably not going to happen as they weren't in season ... BUT SHE GOT THEM which I did not expect at all. From our altar and signage, to the centerpieces and bouquets, Kristin and her team exceeded my expectations by 1000%. I would not change a single thing. Kristin, we love you so much, and cannot thank you enough!

Tyson and Samantha were absolutely wonderful! We received so many compliments from our friends and family the day after our wedding about them. They all "loved the DJ" and "your DJ was so awesome, and amazing" and "we loved the music, he really understood the crowd and gave the people what they wanted" and "the photobooth girl was so great and so much fun". We even got compliments on how he had the perfect volume level! We couldn't have been happier with how the night went, how much fun our guests had, and how Tyson really understood our vision for the night while we prepped with him. They were so professional yet flexible with the pace if anything in the timeline changed and I did not have to worry about a single thing except having fun! We can sincerely thank them from the bottom of our hearts for amplifying our special day and making us look good by knocking our wedding reception out of the park! We would DEFINITELY hire Skinnyboy Media all over again and recommend them to anyone!

I never had professional makeup done with the exception of 1 time so I don’t know much about makeup, hair or looks. But Gabriel was able to bring my vision to life. I just told her what things I like for example I said Amy whinehouse a lot! And bold, skinny face, shiny cheeks and wings! She made that vision come to life with both hair and makeup. She traveled to me for the trial run and it was a seamless experience! The day of my wedding she showed up early and although we had a issue with our room she was able to work in a tight space full of 20 people in and out with kids running around while smiling the whole time! When we did my makeup I did last minute changes and with no complaint or holdback she did those changes for me. My hair? Beautiful! She also did one of my bridesmaids makeup that I am still in awe over, my maid of honors hair and eye makeup, and my moms hair which I have NEVER seen my mom look the way she did. And I mean that in such a good way! Her prices are the BEST I have ever seen especially with how far she traveled to me for both trial and wedding day. I’d recommend her to anyone! I’m not one to leave reviews ever unless I enjoy their work! Thank you so much for giving me the best wedding morning experience and making me feel so beautiful through my insecurities

Whitehall was the perfect choice for our wedding! I was apprehensive about having a big wedding at all and was perfectly content with eloping or going to a courthouse, but ultimately decided to have a wedding for our families and the memories. Julia at Whitehall made this entire experience such a dream for my now-husband and I. She’s the venue coordinator but is also an angel that every bride deserves in the months leading up to her wedding and on her wedding day. She answered every stupid question I had very quickly, and is on top of things with sending emails to remind you about scheduling your rehearsal, nailing down your timelines, etc. One of the best parts about this venue is that you drop all of your decor off on the Tuesday before your wedding and they set everything up for you throughout the week! I literally didn’t have to think about a thing and could just spend the days before relaxing and tying up loose ends! We didn’t even nail down our vision for the centerpieces and most of the decor until 10-14 days before the ceremony, but Julia absolutely nailed it and everything was so beautiful! The day of the wedding, her assistant, Brenda, checked in on us while we got ready to make sure we were doing okay and she was the sweetest and just as organized and on top of it as Julia was. Before, during and after the ceremony, as well as during the reception, Julia checked in with my husband and I so many times to make sure we were okay and got us drinks if we needed it. She took so much off my plate mentally the week of my wedding and that was just so special and I appreciated it in ways I don’t know how to explain in 3500 characters or less. This venue has a caterer that comes with it (Taste of Excellence) who were also great to work with, and not having to make that decision was insanely helpful. I mostly dealt with Mikaela and she was very helpful with all of my questions and even accommodated us to schedule a second food tasting (something I don’t think they normally do) because my parents wanted to completely change the food options after the first tasting lol. Whitehall also has a DJ company included (Selective Sound Entertainment) who were great as well! Their online portal to actually select your song requests is a little dated and, you only get 8 “must play” songs, and the rest are more like suggestions for the DJ during the party but to be honest our DJ Jordan kept it bumping all night and it was SO fun he even had the bartender dancing with us from her station! I really couldn’t imagine doing our wedding anywhere else. I can’t recommend it enough and I’ll scream it into the sky for anyone who will listen!

Hi! My name is Katie and I own Katie’s Kakes! I am a small cottage law baker out of my home in Madison, Ohio. I have been a chef for many years and one year I wanted to make my mom a special cake for Mother’s Day. Her favorite flower is hydrangea, so I attempted to make a cake that looked like a hydrangea. It didn’t look as bad as I thought it was going to. After posting it, I had many friends and family reach out for me to bake them a custom cake. Finally in 2022 I decided to create Katie’s Kakes and received my LLC. I love being in the kitchen and creating something beautiful and tasty for any wedding! I love what I do!

Katie’s Kakes is truly such a great company to work with! With great prices, reasonable flexibility great communication and most importantly great food with beautiful work!

Being creative is what I do, simple. I am from Northeast OH. My favorite thing to capture would have to be a toss up between sports and weddings. I love to workout and think fitness is important. But most importantly, God is the head of my life and I wouldn't be where I am OR where I'm headed without him.

Donte did such an amazing job at our wedding! He was very kind and professional and everyone was pleasantly surprised how fun he was too! He made sure to capture all the important moments of our wedding day while also being a part of the party and hitting some dance moves on the dance floor! 10/10 would recommend hiring him for any important events that you want to be captured in a meaningful way.

Basil Place was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding this August. Their communication style was excellent - they were always quick to respond to our questions and provide helpful guidance throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and the value they provided was truly the highest. They were so easy to work with, and Michelle in particular was wonderful. Basil Place exceeded our expectations and helped make our special day truly unforgettable. I would highly recommend Basil Place!

Congratulations on your engagement! I am so excited to work with you! I am Emily, the artist here at Emily Adele Makeup! I have been doing makeup for over 5 years and LOVE getting to be a part of such a special day in your life. Makeup is such a passion of mine. I love getting to create the perfect look for any occasion!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have been lucky enough to have Emily do my makeup for multiple weddings the past few years. Compared to any other makeup I have ever had done, Emily’s work is by far the best. I gave her direction that I would like a natural/pretty look that still made me feel like myself and she did exactly that. I wish she could do my makeup everyday! She is also very calming and pleasant to be around and made it a great experience. I highly recommend her to everyone.
