Harpist 

5.0

Westlake, OH
  • Ceremony only

I am a harpist and attorney whose passion for music and justice inspires my creative process. I have diverse playing experiences spanning across my career as a harpist. I began playing harp at the age of 8. At the age of 9, I was invited to participate in Jocelyn Chang’s Harp Ensemble, a group of 12 talented harpist who played during the holiday season. I have also won awards at the Ohio Scottish Games. At Smith College, I played in Orchestra for the performance of Swan Lake, Wind Ensemble and the Celtic Ensemble known as the Wailing Banshees. I am always excited for new opportunities to share my passion for harp music!

We hired Sarah for our wedding in July. She did an amazing job. She sent us a variety of song selections and helped us through the process of picking. Once we had the songs picked we worked with her on timing and she was very helpful. On our wedding day we couldn't have asked for a better harpist. She was on time, and set up before guests arrived. She did an incredible job and the music was beautiful. We had guests telling us what a nice touch it was after the wedding. We would highly recommend Sarah for your wedding.

Alyssa Schlegel 

5.0

Westlake, OH
  • Florist

I am an event coordinator/ florist who has been doing independent work for over a decade. I began in event planning and quickly started doing florals to help my clients get exactly the look they want. It turns out I loved it! From there I began taking referrals only and have recently begun taking a more formal route.

Alyssa Schlegel, the wedding florist, was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very beginning, her communication was exceptional - she responded to my messages and questions lightning fast, and really took the time to understand my vision for the flowers, even when I struggled to fully articulate it. The end result was beyond my wildest dreams - I have received so many compliments about the flowers she provided, which blossomed beautifully and looked incredible. Alyssa even went above and beyond, traveling to me and helping put together an additional bouquet when my sister from Guam surprised me and joined my bridesmaids. I would hire Alyssa again in a heartbeat and give her a 10/10 for her incredible service and stunning work.

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!

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.

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!

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.

As a wedding vendor myself, I've seen the best and the worst of NEO wedding venues. Lake Effect is among the best. Although it's not one of the trendy top names in the wedding industry it has an undeniably artys atmosphere with an equally cool staff.

I planned an elaborate elopement at a historic B&B spa, so a lot of one-on-one time was spent with our photographer and videographer. I personally felt it was the most import investment I made. I’m blown away by our photos and so grateful to have these precious moments saved as memories forever. Yevhen managed to capture the emotions of the day so well. He did such a phenomenal job capturing every little detail, moment, and emotion. He made us feel so comfortable and special. My husband usually hates photographers, but even he was impressed. Yevhen has an effortless, professional, and friendly style when he is with you which really makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. It was important to me to have bright clear looking photos without a bunch of filtering. I really loved our outdoor photos and our photos in the venue’s parlor. Yevhen is a master of light and really knows how to capture those gorgeous shots. My friends have commented that my pictures look like a high fashion magazine spread. We also got our photos back earlier than expected. We were told 4-5 weeks, and it was closer to 3 weeks. This was super exciting because I couldn’t wait to share them with friends and family. Do yourself a favor and hire Yevhen. He was organized, fun, and genuinely cared about making our wedding day special.

I have loved music since a kid. I grew up listening to old Motown, Michael Jackson, Prince, OutKast, Wu-Tang Clan, Jimi Hendrix and Hall & Oates. I watched Video Soul on BET and of course I was a MTV kid like any good 80's baby. I became the resident DJ for 78th Street Studios "Third Friday Art Walk", courtesy of Northcoast Promotions in 2022. I infuse sets that varies in genre, style & eras. I strive to provide a set that is enjoyable for all ages. I want to bring you a set that you won't regret and most importantly I want you to have the time of your life.

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!
