Grafton, OH
  • Photographer

  • Starts at $1,200

My name is of course Brittaney Brandt, I have been married for ten years now. My husband is the best, we have two beautiful little girls that are my everything. They are each of mini me of one of us! I have been shooting photography for about eight years now. I love my job, it gives me the flexibility with a Military husband and two younger ones that I need and to still be there with them. It also gives me a chance to create and capture beautiful moments for others, which is something I have always loved doing. I am a huge fan of candid images; I like catching the random moments, laughs, during our session or during your wedding day!

Brittaney from Brittaney Brandt Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. She was attentive, professional, and personable throughout the entire planning process. She went above and beyond to capture all the special moments and important details of our big day. Even though I don't normally enjoy having my photo taken, Brittaney made me feel totally comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. More than just a vendor, Brittaney felt like a friend documenting our memories. The value of her artistic photography paired with the personalized care she provides is truly unmatched. I couldn't recommend Brittaney more highly for wedding photography services!

Merkels Floral Studio 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $10,000
  • Serves Grafton, 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 :)

I have nothing but great things to say about Kristin and the Merkels team! She took our vision and brought it to life, while also being so stress free to work with. We truly appreciated all of Kristin's recommendations and guidance throughout the planning process. She also was so thoughtful to work with when considering our budget and flexible with adjusting things to make it work for us. I can say confidently that Merkels was one of our best vendor decisions - would highly recommend to any other bride!

I can’t say enough good things about Tyson. He communicated with us so clearly, was so careful and caring with our day. We are extremely passionate about music and he took that to heart and curated the party vibe accordingly. Genuinely everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. He took a strange request from me for the father daughter dance and executed it exceptionally, he learned the song I wanted to walk the aisle to on guitar beautifully, and the photobooth was a HUGE hit. I had multiple people ask me if Tyson knew us personally because the music was perfectly synced to who we are. We spoke on the phone for over an our telling him what we like and don’t like and he really worked with it. We booked pretty much every service he offers and he knocked it all out of the park seamlessly. We feel so lucky to have found him and can promise you that you will not regret booking him for your event !!!!!!

We saw Follow the Sun at a friend's wedding in Cleveland and had SO much fun on the dance floor that we hired FTS for our own out-of-state wedding! They easily navigating planning with us- even for an out of town wedding- and even provided valuable insights on the flow of the day. Their acoustic trio played beautifully for our ceremony and the band rocked it for the reception. They are extremely talented singers and musicians and play a variety of songs- EVERY SONG IS SO GOOD- they will keep you and your guests on the dance floor all night long! They have fun and are flexible to last minute changes. They are organized- sound and lighting were ideal- and know how to make your special day extra fun. Our guests (and vendors) are STILL raving about how amazing this band was and we can't wait to see them again! Highly recommend this band for your wedding or other special event! :)

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.

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!

My husband was searching for venues and we came across Kingsville Lodge. The location was perfect, a middle point between our families, out in the country, a breathtaking view, and a place we could have our wedding, reception and lodging in one location. The lodge was everything we dreamed it would be. The inside is gorgeous, the upstairs room was the perfect size and lighting for incredible getting ready photos! The ceremony was even more beautiful than I imagined. The lodge ceremony can be personalized anyway you decide which makes it unique for every couple! Sharyn was absolutely phenomenal through everything. She made sure the landscaper was there the day before we checked in to ensure the property was perfect for our special day and that the shed was full of wood for the fire! Sharyn pays attention to all of the small details so you as the happy couple don't have to. She made everything so easy for us, and the lodge is beautiful. We have gotten SO many compliments about our wedding photos and everyone asks where we got married because it was so beautiful! If you're looking for an intimate location with a breathtaking view making for a unique wedding, I highly recommend booking the Kingsville Lodge!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Whitehall Columbia was the perfect venue for our wedding!

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.

Tropical Paradise in Geauga County! I kept telling my husband when we were looking into venues, "I want somewhere close to the water that's peaceful and I want it to feel like paradise, but I want to get married not too far from home". Most of our family is from the area, so we wanted somewhere that we didn't have to travel super far either. I had been looking for DAYS and everything was either way too far, way too expensive, ehhh, or just not at all what I was thinking. My husband hopped on Google, and said "Hey, how about this place called Shangri-La?" I looked at the pictures and I was like "Where is this place?!" He said "5 minutes from us". I could NOT believe it! It was GORGEOUS! The pictures are amazing but don't do it justice. I immediately reached out to Pam and Rod who own Shangri-La with interest. They said we could come and look at it that day if we wanted! My husband and I went and fell in LOVE! So so beautiful, and they have clearly spared no expense on making it so elegant, beautiful, convenient, affordable, and just magical. They were so amazing to work with. I knew when we parked and walked down the walkway even only seeing a small area of the location that was it. That was the place we were meant to be married at. Pam and Rod were so unbelievably amazing to work with. So caring, so organized, so attentive. They even offered us to set off fireworks at the end of our wedding (we got married on the 4th of July). It was truly the best day of our lives. I didn't worry about a thing, everything went smoothly, and they were just so great to work with! I will absolutely be returning to Shangri-La in the future as they can accommodate you for any kind of gathering you have in mind! They even went the extra mile; I was in a very bad car accident about 2 weeks after my husband and I got back from our honeymoon. I was in the hospital for a days and had broken my neck and had surgery on my knee that left me re-teaching myself to walk. Somehow, Pam and Rod had found out that I was in a car accident, and they stopped over at our house with the sweetest care package and card. It truly made me cry. They are such sweet and wonderful people. And we had such an amazing visit. Pam and Rod are just such unbelievably genuine people. You just feel like you're "home" when you're at Shangri-La. I cannot say enough about Shangri-La and Pam and Rod <3

The two worked together along with family & friends to make their dream come true. Using their farmland, the Hricovecs changed their lifestyle from farming food, to serving food as well. They broke ground in 1958 and celebrated their first wedding in the fall of 1959. Thomas & Mary instilled the importance of hard work and dedication in their family. Now, third-generation owner Bill Hricovec, a culinary graduate of Johnson & Wales, along with our team, integrates traditional family recipes with a mix of new and innovative menu selections to offer you a wide variety of choices.
