We had such a great experience with the whole team at Flower & Oak. They filmed our wedding on 9/6/2025 and everything from start to finish was great.

We cannot say enough good things about Flower & Oak. Not only are our photos breathtaking, but their team was an essential part of our wedding day running so smoothly. When our schedule started to get a little hectic, they were a wonderfully calming presence, effortlessly organizing our families for portraits while keeping everyone laughing and relaxed. They are true professionals who genuinely care, and they allowed us to simply be present and enjoy every moment

Donauschwaben's German-American Cultural Center was the perfect venue for our daughter & son-in-law’s wedding. The location to the airport, highway and hotel were ideal. Their property provided plenty of parking. The wedding was outside on a 92 day and was flawless. It was hot, but the trees were in the perfect position to shade the entire patio. The entire staff was amazing. The reception space was transformed into a beautiful space for our special celebration. Our family and friends shared with us how delicious the appetizers, meal and “aftertizers” of the homemade pretzels. Christine the Event Manager went above and beyond and made sure the day was special for everyone. She answered all of my questions, even up to the last minute. We were so impressed with how many times Christine checked in with us to make sure we were happy. We highly recommend Donauschwaben’s German-American Cultural Center.

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!

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for being an amazing DJ. You truly went above and beyond for Ken and I to make our wedding day special. We are grateful beyond words for your kindness, professionalism, and class. My husband and I had made a Spotify list since we knew what songs we liked and had been to other weddings in the past. Ken and I wanted to find a DJ that would LISTEN and we found him!!!! Hiring DJ Ivan was the best decision we made (besides marrying each other). DJ Ivan and Imani were extremely professional, kind, and classy. They asked each bridesmaid and groomsman how to pronounce their names and he was very detailed oriented. He made our wedding day his own and only offered the best service. I would ONLY recommend DJ Ivan to family and friends. If you don’t want to worry about your DJ and want him to listen to you, hire DJ Ivan. You will not be disappointed. In a world where people do not go above and beyond…DJ Ivan fights that stigma and gave us so much more. Thank you DJ Ivan and we will be sending everyone to you!

Originally built in the early 1900s for luxury faucet manufacturing, the 22,000 square foot warehouse sat empty for decades. 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.

I cannot give this venue enough praise! We had the most incredible experience at The Madison for our wedding. From start to finish, it exceeded our expectations in every way and I only have Daryl and Anthony to thank for that. The space is absolutely stunning. I loved that it is a blank slate and that we could decorate it how we wanted. The creative freedom was important to me. Daryl and Anthony are exceptional! They were super understanding when we needed to reschedule and were super easy and fun to work with. We highly recommend The Madison to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free (no literally, I was so calm) wedding day. We will forever cherish the memories that were made here and we are so thankful for everything Daryl and Anthony did to make our day so magical. 3

Hi 👋🏼 my name is Katie and I would love to film your wedding day for you! Wedding videography is a creative outlet for me and is not my full time career. I do this because I truly have a passion for capturing love and providing my clients with videos that show their big day exactly as it happened! I film weddings solo on a single professional quality camera (no drones or full scale productions) which allows me to stay in the background as much as possible and capture the day in the most natural way possible.

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!

I am an event coordinator/ florist who has been doing independent work for over a decade.

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.

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.

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.

Jennifer Cruz was the makeup artist for my August wedding and she was lovely to work with and is obviously a skilled MUA! I am not a “makeup” person and I was a little intimidated by bridal makeup in general, but Jennifer was really patient and supportive with me as I figured out my look. The trial was easy to set up and she was great about showing me different levels of makeup heaviness, which helped me visualize and choose my look, which I wanted to be more natural. She was also super flexible when I ended up wanting to change things up a bit on the big day. I felt beautiful at my wedding, and glamorous in a way that I almost never look! The mothers, my sister and friend also had makeup done and everyone looked stunning. We were all done on time and the vibes were fun and easy-going as we were all getting ready.

She is incredibly creative and intuitive, instantly understanding our vision and elevating it beyond anything we could have imagined. Every arrangement felt thoughtful, intentional, and perfectly suited to our style and venue. Beyond her talent, Kate’s fun, infectious personality made the entire process so enjoyable. She brought such positive energy on our wedding day, helping everything feel calm, relaxed, and exciting all at once. It felt like having a trusted friend by our side who just got it. If you’re looking for a florist who can bring your vision to life while making the experience stress-free and genuinely fun, Kate is the one. We couldn’t be more grateful and would recommend her wholeheartedly.

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.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with DJ Sunset for a wedding last year, and they were phenomenal! From the moment the music started, the energy was electric, and it stayed that way all night long. DJ Sunset has an incredible ability to read the crowd, keeping the dance floor packed with guests of all ages. Their transitions between songs were seamless, and the playlist perfectly matched the couple's unique vibe and vision for their big day. Not only is DJ Sunset exceptionally talented, but they were also professional, punctual, and an absolute joy to collaborate with. They worked closely with us to ensure the timeline and key moments (like the first dance and cake cutting) went off without a hitch, and they handled everything with such ease. If you're looking for a DJ who can turn your event into an unforgettable celebration, DJ Sunset is the one. We can't wait to work with them again in the future! Owner, Camela Lynn Weddings & Events
