Hearth Patisserie 

5.0

Rocky River, OH
  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $500

Hearth cakes and pastries are based in French technique and method but with a more American take on flavor. It is a mesh of the best two aspects of classic American and French desserts. The cakes tend to have a more whimsical or natural feel to the design.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hearth Patisserie was a fantastic choice for our wedding desserts. From the start, Holly were quick to respond to our inquiries and very easy to work with, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day of the wedding, the desserts were an absolute hit - the macarons in particular were delicious and our guests raved about them. In fact, there were hardly any leftovers at the end of the night, which is a testament to how much everyone enjoyed the treats. The set-up was beautiful as well! We're so glad we went with Hearth Patisserie and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for top-notch wedding cakes and desserts!

Hi :) I have a background in social work so am used to walking into all kinds of situations and interacting with all sorts of people. I now have my dream job as a wedding photographer where I get to capture people's very best moments!!! Not only do I love capturing those candid moments but I also enjoy guiding loved ones through interacting together to come up with more natural moments to capture actual good times! To help the day run as smoothly as possible we also send out a wedding photography survey going over times and shot details to make sure we are on the same page ahead of time, with wanted poses on this list as well.

Awarded Best of Zola
AR Treasures Photography was wonderful to work with on our wedding day. They were very responsive via text and email, making communication easy leading up to the big day. The quality of their work was good - they captured so many fun candids and beautiful outdoor shots that really highlighted the unique elements of our celebration. They perfectly captured a surprise horse and carriage ride, as well as special details like the dried leaves from our flower girl, maple helicopter seeds, and the groom playing on a seven-piece drum set. Rachel was lovely to work with and went the extra mile to ensure we were satisfied with the final photos from our wedding. I'd recommend communicating any important or unique details you want captured, as they'll make sure those special moments are preserved beautifully.

Scott Shaw Photography 

5.0

Rocky River, OH
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900

I'm a photojournalist turned wedding photographer and loving it. I enjoy capturing moments and working my butt off all day long. Worked for newspapers and magazines for many years. The demands put on me by photo editors helped me grow and I find that bride and grooms are much nicer.

Scott Shaw Photography is an exceptional wedding photography vendor that I have had the privilege of working with on a couple of occasions. As an effective communicator, Scott provides clear direction and guidance throughout the wedding day to ensure the process runs smoothly. Rather than simply capturing a mass amount of images, Scott's work is characterized by quality over quantity, with a thoughtful, editorial-style approach that is a joy to experience. Scott's ability to utilize creative angles, demonstrate intentionality, and showcase his artistry is truly distinguishing. If you are seeking a top-tier photographer who is also an amazing human being, I highly recommend booking Scott Shaw Photography for your special day.

Scratch Bakery 

5.0

Rocky River, OH
  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $3

Scratch Bakery began in 2016, as my passion for baking grew into a full time “job.” I enjoy working with my clients to create the perfect treats for their occasions. My main focus is taste, taste, taste - using quality ingredients and made all from scratch. If something looks wonderful, but doesn’t taste good, I do not use it. Part of the reason I began baking and decorating was due to unmet expectations. I don’t ever want my clients to feel as though they didn’t receive what they were hoping for.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jill at Scratch bakery truly brought our vision for wedding desserts to life! We wanted more than just a standard wedding cake and had unique flavors in mind, she was positive and excited to work with us to make our “his and hers favorites” dessert table a realty. In addition to our two tiered wedding cake (that was maple bacon bourbon flavored and AMAZING!), Scratch also handled all of the sweets for our dessert table which included over 250 mini cupcakes in fun flavors such as salted caramel, wedding cake, chocolate peanut butter and red velvet. We also had chocolate chip cookies, key lime pie bars and her famous Carmelita’s (they are to die for). We use Scratch Bakery for all our family birthdays and special occasions now, truly such a memorable part of our wedding day that guests still talk about three years later.

Well well well....where do I even begin Back in 2024, I answer to an inquiry from a bride who was looking for a DJ, because hers was not falling through properly. Ashley found me less than 50 hours before her wedding. I lived In the general area, so her wedding wasn't too far from me. In the midst of wedding planning, Ashley and her soon-to-be husband were also handling family tragedies in the background. As a vendor myself who has lost her parent, I knew exactly how she felt. We quickly transitioned into how we can make their Day a perfect one, Despite everything going on in the background. I wanted to keep my bride happy and healthy as much as possible, and to keep her family in mind. Ashley was sweet, organized, and strong no matter the stress she faced. After getting to know Ashley more, We quickly became buddies over 2025! With her being a photographer, and me being a DJ, we had ended up crossing paths several times throughout 2025 and now into 2026, as partners. Her and I work hand in hand together to make sure that all weddings run smoothly, That our couple stays happy, And sometimes we can easily switch rolls of good cop, bad cop when we need to For crowd control! She is my right hand gal, And I can't wait to see what the future holds for both of us as vendors, and as friends!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Just celebrated my wedding a month ago and had the MOST amazing reception thanks to the phenomenal vibe curation by DJ Ivan and Synapse Entertainment! Ivan was really quick to respond, great to work with, was thorough in nailing down details and questions for what my wife and I wanted in every aspect of the ceremony, was very friendly and open to collaborating with us, our coordinator, and the rest of our vendors. The process was very smooth, from the initial phone conversation with DJ Ivan, we were able to follow up and keep track of the timeline for events using the Vibo app. It wasn’t just general music playlist choices either, but speeches, parent/child dances, announcements and other details couples might not have thought in the moment. All of it is there and organized for you to go through and answer and drop any additional questions you may have. And the night of, DJ Ivan delivered perfectly, we and our guests never left the dance floor, I got a leg cramp from dancing so much! It was perfect! Best night of my life and I’m sure my wife would say much the same. We’d defenitely recommend DJ Ivan for anyone looking to dance the night away with reckless abandon!

I am incredibly grateful and impressed by the level of effort Lauren put in with such little time to go.

She truly made us feel like the day was ours and that we were the guests of honor at our wedding and I can’t say enough great things. The pictures came back in less than 2 months which was the perfect time to go through and relieve the moments. We even received preview pictures early on to hold us over.

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!

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. :)

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.

The venue itself was absolutely stunning, with bright, vaulted ceilings and plenty of windows that made the space feel so open and airy. The team's attention to detail was impeccable, and the execution of our wedding day was flawless. Everything turned out exactly as we wanted, and we had the most beautiful, intimate day celebrating our marriage. We are so grateful to the Briarwood team for making our wedding dreams a reality.

Dwight was awesome to work with and went above and beyond for our wedding video. We initially hired him to shoot the wedding so we could experience the ceremony again. After the mass, he offered to follow us to our first picture location so he could get shots to use for a highlight video. This turned out to be an additional 4 minute video of snapshots of the afternoon when we were taking pictures. He also had a great ceremony video and got audio of myself and my wife as I was mic'd up before the ceremony. That was a great addition to our video. I was the first of my friends to get married and have since recommended Dwight to them. I was very pleased and would use their services again and hope that others do as well.

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. Yevhen (our photographer), Serhii (our videographer), and their amazing assistant were all incredibly kind, professional, and just so easy to be around. 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. They’re more than just vendors—they felt like part of our celebration. Thank you, Yevhen, Serhii, and team—we are forever grateful!
