Merkels Floral Studio 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $10,000
  • Serves Fairport Harbor, 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 :)

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!

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.

Tyson was absolutely wonderful to work with and we are so happy that we chose him and his services for our special day. The ceremony music flowed beautifully and set the perfect tone for our wedding. During the reception he kept the dance floor packed, and many of our wedding guests are still talking about how much fun they had dancing the night away! He also did a fantastic job of keeping the evening flowing so that key events could happen when planned in the overall timeline of events. He was friendly and professional and was a major contributor to making our wedding day an unforgettable day. Highly recommend Tyson to anyone looking for DJ services for their special event.

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!!

These ladies are phenomenal! We hired them for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made for our day. From our first chat over zoom, we knew instantly that we could trust them and that they would capture us, not just a one-size-fits-all deal. They truly capture each couple in their own unique way and you can tell just by looking at their work. I’m so glad we did an engagement shoot first, because it got all the nerves out for us and we got to build more of a relationship with them before our day. We are not people who like being in front of cameras, but their enthusiasm and professionalism put us, especially me, at instant ease! The photos turned out great even with it being an unforcasted rainy and unusually hot fall day. And the wedding, holy moly! They had to wrangle all sorts of family dynamics and chaos while still taking beautiful photos in the rain. Not sure how that happened, but they made it all seem so easy and we had so much fun with them! We didn’t have to worry about a thing! …Not one thing! We received our first look photos in no time after the wedding and we are in love already. Can’t wait to see the rest! We will definitely be contacting them again in the future. Wherever you are in your photographer search (and reading reviews like this), just stop and set up a chat now. You will not be disappointed!

We celebrated our marriage at Orchard Hills in September 2024 having booked the site in January 2023. We toured the venue and met the staff who were very friendly and professional, and we worked mainly with Livia through the planning process. With each step Livia offered great advice and feedback to help us make sure our day went as smoothly as possible. From suggesting trustworthy vendors to helping with day of setup, Livia and the staff helped take out some of the major headaches of wedding planning. What really stood out to us was the freedom to choose our own vendors. There were no hoops to jump through, no extra fees, and a plethora of decorations provided by the venue at no additional cost. We had our dream wedding and we could not have done it without the help and expertise of the kind and helpful staff at Orchard Hills. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to rent for any event.

Awarded Best of Zola
first off, I want to say the team at Sun Valley is amazing. They were always so fast to answer all of my questions (and trust me I had plenty). They are kind, fun, and passionate about what they do. The grounds are beautiful. Every single person I encountered through Sun Valley was so kind, making sure everything was perfect and seeing if there was absolutely anything we needed/if there was anything they could do to make the whole experience better. Once it all came together, it couldn’t have been a more beautiful venue. The ponds are stunning and being able to have the ceremony there was absolutely amazing. The inside is so spacious and even with everyone in the building, it never felt crowded or “full”, but it also didn’t look empty. The tile wall behind where the head table goes is stunning. It comes out so well in pictures. Some of the decor didn’t go with our style and they were totally okay with us putting anything that didn’t go in the storage room for the night. I received so many compliments on how it is the most beautiful venue they’ve ever seen. Things I’d like to mention is: there are bed and breakfasts kind of close by, but only hold ?60 people. The closest hotel is a Marriott and it’s 20 minutes away and they only have 1 shuttle that holds 11 people. There isn’t great service out there so Ubers weren’t super easy to get so we rented shuttles. All worked out totally fine, but just something to keep in mind. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with Sun Valley: the look of the ceremony/cocktail hour and reception, the people (literally everyone that works there: AMAZING), the catering options (we chose A Taste of Excellence which we also HIGHLY recommend because wow), the whole experience. I am so beyond thrilled and couldn’t imagine my day anywhere else. I am so thankful for everyone there and had so much fun with them, they were some of my favorite people there. but seriously, I am so happy with my choice of Sun Valley and highly highly recommend!!!! Thank you Sun Valley for making our day so special

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.

Whitehall Columbia was the perfect venue for our wedding! The communication with their event coordinator, Julia, was always easy, fast, and professional which made the wedding planning and day everything we have always wanted. The venue itself is beautiful, clean, and classy - perfect for a wedding. The chapel has gorgeous chandeliers, massive windows, and great natural light. Their staff was attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly on our big day. I cannot thank Julia enough. Without her, the whole wedding wouldn’t have been exactly what we dreamed of. My husband and I have talked about the day over and over again. Nothing could’ve been better. For the quality of the venue and service, Whitehall Columbia offered insane value. Really could not be any better. We would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a venue that has it all.

Paige went above and beyond throughout the entire process of our wedding. From the initial meeting to days prior to our big day, Paige was extremely helpful! She went above her photography duties by asking if we needed any snacks, helping solve the missing boutonnières problem, and even helping my disabled mom pick up desserts she dropped on the floor. Working with Paige was effortless and fun. We were able to fully relax and she guided us through posing and shots. Her moody photography style highlighted everything our big day was about.

I am a self taught photographer. This journey started in 2013 as a stay-at-home mom with some young ones running around and an urge to dive into my creative side. It has since evolved beyond anything I ever thought it could. I genuinely love what I do and all of the connections I've made with all of the many amazing people I've worked with over the years.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am not a colleague or friend of Ella Rose Photography (although it would be an honor to be friends with Michelle.) I am writing this review as a client. I fell in love with her style of photography a few years ago and booked her for my family's fall photos. Upon receiving my photo gallery I almost cried at how beautiful they were. That was when we were a family of five. Now we are a family of six, and have only gone back to Michelle for our photos. Not only is she kind and patient with my four children, but she has a way of capturing each one of their personalities with her lens and freezing that moment of time at their specific age that I can hold onto forever. You can definitely tell she's a mama. I would highly recommend (and have many times) Ella Rose Photography. Your photos will not just look like annual family photos on your wall, rather like fine art that will stand out amongst other family/wedding/etc. photos.

I can’t say enough great things about Sam and the staff at La Vera! My father’s Celebration of Life was, without a doubt, one of the smoothest and easiest events I’ve ever organized, largely thanks to the incredible team at La Vera. Not only are their prices affordable (especially considering how stunning the facility is), but their catering was fantastic—everyone raved about the delicious food. When we unexpectedly had more guests than anticipated, Sam and the team handled it flawlessly. They set up an extra table on the spot and ensured there was more food ready without missing a beat. It was completely seamless! On a day when we were already overwhelmed by emotions and details, La Vera made everything so much easier. Thank you, Sam, and the entire La Vera staff, for your kindness, professionalism, and support. You made a difficult day memorable in the best way.

I am a wedding and elopement photographer based out of northeast Ohio, but I am down to go wherever the love flows! I love capturing the moments during the wedding day that most couples wouldn't expect to find in their galleries, those moments that you don't even realize are happening around you. I want my couples to be instantly transported into the emotion of their wedding day everything they look through their galleries and albums.

Megan Mitchell Creative was the perfect wedding photographer for our special day. The quality of her work was amazing - the photos are beautiful, creative, and truly captured all the most important moments. Megan was so helpful in telling us exactly how to pose for the perfect pictures, and she knew exactly what we wanted. We are thrilled with how the photos turned out!

My husband and I stumbled upon David Paul photography about 2 years ago. We saw some of his pictures online and we decided to give him a call. He drove an hour to meet with us and show us his portfolio. He was kind and his work was outstanding. We didn’t really need to meet with any other photographers. We knew he was going to be the one we used! He shot our engagement photos and they turned out spectacular. He was so quick to getting us our edited photos and during the shoot his creativity was great. David also shot a boudoir shoot for me so that I could give my husband a wedding gift. A lot of women may be hesitant to have a man shoot their boudoir but David was extremely professional and never made me feel uncomfortable. The day of our wedding, he was so flexible and made sure to get all of the pictures that we had requested. My husband and I just got married 2 days ago and we already have 30 edited images. I will share some below. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. His creativity, professionalism, thoroughness, attention to detail, and his personality are so wonderful. Thank you so much David for being a part of our special day!

Cailin took amazing care of our dogs for the day and it was amazing we could have them there and incorporated in the ceremony. I want to relive my wedding day over and over, and we got so many compliments about the venue and how smooth everything went. Truly the best wedding ever

The Prelude Wedding team is always on the hunt for the love and personality shots that make you two who you are. As well as friends, family, and all. We are fun, engaging and fit in seamlessly with any wedding group.

I have been in the wedding business for over 25 years as a DJ/MC and have worked with hundreds of photographers. It is critical that your DJ and photographer/videographer work together to ensure that nothing is missed. I love working with Prelude because they make this part of my job easy. I have worked with them many times and never have to find them before doing something. This can really impact the pace of the event. They always seem to be in the right place at the right time. It also helps that they are super nice and professional. I don’t think you can go wrong with Prelude as your Photographer, Videographer or both.

My husband and I had an elopement style wedding and we’re kind of awkward when it comes to taking pictures. This was actually our first time having professional photos taken of us and it was better than expected! Kelly carries a warm, yet fun energy all while maintaining professionalism and is beyond talented. Our wedding photos are so amazing, every moment was captured beautifully. We will definitely be working with Kelly again in the future!

Hi, I’m Rekira, a photographer based in Northeast Ohio, with over 14 years of capturing love stories. My passion lies in documenting the most precious moments of my clients’ lives. Every wedding I photograph is a unique journey, and I feel incredibly privileged to be entrusted with such meaningful occasions—from intimate elopements to grand celebrations. Whether you’re planning a dream destination wedding or a beautiful celebration here in Ohio, I’m dedicated to bringing your vision to life, ensuring each moment is beautifully preserved for generations to come. Let’s create something extraordinary together, wherever your love takes us.

Working with Rekira is always an amazing experience! She has done multiple sessions for my husband and I and every single time I am blown away by the pictures she captures, her ability to make us feel comfortable (we are not naturally good at taking photos) and her professionalism. Her turn around time for getting our pictures back to us was so fast and the level of quality is unmatched. Everything we asked for she made happen and never once did I feel rushed or stressed out. Our wedding photos were so much better than we could have ever imagined. I highly recommend working with Rekira, she will exceed all of your expectations!

WE NO LONGER OFFER FRESH FLOWERS. We give brides their dream bouquets in silk or sola, & even work from “inspo pics”. We work with Brides to help bring their vision to life and stay on budget. Styles and shapes you want may change during the process. But for an initial quote, we need details like the number of bouquets that are needed and what styles are being considered. We limit our responses to those inquiries that include this info d/t paying per response. Thank you for understanding. We have designed a line called La Petite to help Brides with tight budgets or large wedding parties. Let’s chat about your wedding!

I absolutely loved working with Linda at Fleur Wedding Bouquets! She was so helpful during the design process, helping me refine my vision and my needs for the venues and wedding party. The flowers were finished far in advance of the wedding, which was a great stress relief. Everything was absolutely beautiful, and I couldn't be happier. And, best of all, I can keep them forever! Highly recommend!
