The Hotel at Oberlin ended up being the perfect place for our wedding. The location is close to pretty much anything you'll need for a wedding weekend. It's within a 1 minute walk to a variety of potential photograph locations (e.g. Hall Auditorium, Tappan Square...) as well as business (e.g. salons, restaurants, cafes) that can help your wedding day go smoothly. There are also a variety of potential ceremony locations within walking distance. We chose the Apollo Theater across the street. The team at the hotel, especially Lauren, was responsive and helpful every step of the way. The chef and Lauren worked together to accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions and requests (e.g. extra entree option, catered lunch and snacks...). They were also helpful with managing the linen rentals, room design, and room block reservations. Guests were charmed by Oberlin and gave us feedback that they enjoyed being able to slow and down and enjoy small town life during the weekend. Thank you Lauren and the rest of the team of making our weekend so special:) Photo: Photo credit Lindsey Beckwith, florals by Blossom.

I helped my mother-in-law plan her wedding at Carawood Lake this fall and everything about the process was wonderful. Suzanne is a very warm and responsive communicator. The grounds are extensive and the view of the lake from the back patio of the venue was beautiful. A highlight was the bonfire after dinner when all the guests roasted s’mores next to the lake. It was such a wonderful day. It was the perfect place to have an intimate, private wedding surrounded by nature.

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.

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 :)

Our reception was everything we could've dreamed of and more all thanks to Follow the Sun! While we were exploring our options for a live band we got a recommendation to check out FtS, so we went to see them perform live and we knew right away they were the band for us. They are incredibly talented musicians and the band has great chemistry. They bring great energy and get the crowd going. And that was all just from observing before we even spoke with them regarding booking! FtS goes above and beyond to provide a customized experience. Once we inquired about booking they made the whole process so easy and fun for us. We met to discuss our vision for our day, and they were so accommodating as well as provided great insight for us from their experience with other weddings. They have an amazing set list of songs to choose from. Over the weeks leading up to the wedding, any questions we had they were quick to respond and so kind. We had custom requests with family traditions/songs and FtS were able make it all fit seamlessly into the evening. Our dancefloor was packed all night because of the incredible job the band did. We are so thankful and would highly recommend them to any couple interested in live music for their big day. Special shoutout to Sophie for being so attentive and answering all of our questions, and to Richie for being an INCREDIBLE master of ceremonies handling bridal party introductions and announcements throughout the evening. We didn't have to worry about a thing, you made our night so special and fun. Thank you for everything! PS - Even though our wedding was almost 2 years ago now, we still follow the band and go out and see them perform every chance we get! They are amazing and just keep getting better!!

Livia and the team at Orchard Hills were professional, dynamic, had amazing input planning wise and were a wealth of knowledge. The time between engagement and our wedding was 10 months and it would have been so much more stressful without Livia. She was my rock and I never felt the need to worry with her in my corner. She's extremely dedicated and organized. The team itself day of is efficient and so, so kind. I loved having my wedding here, due to the staff and how beautiful the grounds are. Plenty of room to get ready for both the bridesmaids and groomsmen. Having our reception hall in the same location as the ceremony made life so easy. And in my opinion, this was so most gorgeous location for an outdoor wedding. I felt like a fairytale princess all day. No regrets at all, I highly recommend at least touring the location and meeting with Livia!

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

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!

I got the opportunity to try a variety of sweets from Katie’s Kakes & she pleasantly surpassed my expectations!

For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for creating in any capacity. It wasn't until I picked up a camera that I found out what my favorite type of creating was. 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.

Hall of Fame Visuals was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding videography. From our first interaction, their communication was professional and prompt, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, Donte blended seamlessly into the background, capturing all the special moments beautifully. The final video he delivered exceeded our expectations, perfectly preserving the joy and emotion of our big day.

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.

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.

If you are looking for a wedding venue that feels like pure magic from start to finish, Basil Place is it! We got married here in April 2026, and I truly don’t have enough words to capture how special this place—and the people behind it—are. Michelle, the owner, is quite simply an angel of a human. From day one, she was by our side through every step of the process. She doesn’t just care about your wedding day—she cares about you as a person and wants you to genuinely soak in and enjoy every single moment. Her presence is calming, supportive, and incredibly thoughtful, and it made all the difference. She was so flexible and available whenever needed. She knows what she is doing and this is truly a passion and something her entire family seems to put their heart and soul into. One thing that really stood out is that Michelle only works with vendors who share her same vision and level of care. Every recommendation she provided—from catering to bartending—was absolutely top notch. It removed so much stress knowing we were in the best hands with people that knew the venue well and didn't rely on us for information. We booked the full weekend package, and I cannot recommend it enough (sure the price might shock you a bit at first, but it ultimately ended up saving us money and alot of stress due to lodging of family, ourselves and rehearsal dinner space all being in one place). Being able to host our rehearsal dinner on-site Friday night while already soaking in the beautiful grounds set the tone for the entire weekend. Even more special, our parents and siblings stayed in the house with us, which made everything feel intimate, easy, and so meaningful. The morning of the wedding was something I’ll never forget—while the girls were up early getting ready in the bridal suite, we kept looking outside at everyone else relaxing by the lake with coffee, thinking “must be nice :)” It truly felt like a retreat with the people we love most and I didn't think I would be able to get something like this in Ohio... but then Michelle came along and proved me wrong :) Basil Place gave us not just a wedding day, but an entire experience we’ll cherish forever. If you want a venue where you feel supported, cared for, and completely present for your wedding, this is the place. We are endlessly grateful to the entire staff for helping us start our lives in such a special way!

Hi! My name is Ciara and photography has always been a passion of mine. Ever since I can remember, I've had a camera in my hand. Something about capturing beautiful moments for others, brings light to my soul! In my spare time, I love to camp, cook and spend time with my husband and son. My family is a very big part of my life so I also enjoy getting together with everyone & making memories of my own. I would love if you considered me to be a part of your special day! Thank you & hope to see you soon!

Ciara & her husband were a great addition to the perfect day. Ciara walked us through certain parts of the day that we never even thought of beforehand. The pictures turned out perfectly, especially considering we are not naturals in front of the camera. Couldn’t recommend enough!

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.
