We want you to have stunning images and the best day of your life and we do everything in our power to deliver both.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Carly and Casey was one of our best wedding decisions. I could rave about their photos and videos, but their work speaks for itself. They managed to capture every detail of our wedding—location, small details, and most importantly the emotions of the day. Nothing was missed. BUT, when you hire Drzazga Photo, you’re hiring them for a lot more than just their amazing photos and videos-- Something I didn't realize was so important until the day of our wedding. Carly and Casey come prepared, organized, and with years of experience. They scoped out the venue prior to our arrival and knew exactly where we should go for family photos and bridal portraits based on the lighting and given timeline. This cut down on SO MUCH potential chaos. We decided to follow their advice on photo location, and definitely did not regret it. They know what they are doing. They are efficient and knew exactly what shots they wanted for both photos and video. There was minimal time spent on “posing” photos which allowed for so many more photos in our gallery and more time for us to enjoy our families. So, hire them, fully trust them, and you will NOT be disappointed.

Wedding venue shopping is a lot on a couple. It takes time and energy and can be very stressful. However, when we say we found the perfect place we mean it. Donauschwaben’s was one of our venue choices coming highly recommended by our friends and family already. We reached out through their website and within no time we got an immediate response from the Christine, Event/ Wedding planner to set up a meeting together. She is not only extremely kind, but had everything organized so beautifully to choose from it was a no-brainer to choose this venue. She even recommended our DJ who had played a previous wedding there who was incredible. All communication leading up to our big day was efficient and layed out easily for us to understand. Our checks were deposited in a timely manner by the venue, our tasting was so nice and so delicious. The no pressure wedding planning was worth every penny spent. Our wedding day was so special and so beautiful from start to finish from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to our lovely reception to follow. Not only was Christine present the day of, but the staff was also on their A game all night long. Everyone was so incredibly friendly and kind, we felt like royalty. We both highly recommend this venue and if you do, definitely get the Schnitzel, Prost! The only recommendation to the venue would be to update their beverage packages to include seltzers such as High noons or White claws.

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!

Ashley at Sage & Iron Images was the perfect photographer for our wedding day. From the moment we first spoke with Ashley, her communication was quick, thorough and incredibly informative. She provided great advice that helped us plan our wedding from a city almost four hours away without having seen the venue in person. Ashley did a fantastic job of keeping us on track throughout the process. Her beautiful shots captured all the emotion and special moments of our wedding. We are thrilled with the quality of her work and the incredible value she provided. Ashley was an absolute pleasure to work with and we highly recommend her to any couple planning their big day.

Hi! My name is Andrea and I'm the owner and lead designer here at The Flower Petal! I've been in this industry for about 7 years and I absolutely love what I do. I would describe my design style as loose/organic with a mix of whimsical and romantic. I LOVE color and getting the chance to work with more unique color palettes is my absolute favorite thing!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Flower Petal was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding flowers and decor. Andrea's communication style made the entire process smooth and enjoyable - she was responsive, detail-oriented, and reassuring that everything would turn out beautifully, which it absolutely did. The quality and attention to detail with every bouquet, boutonniere, floral arrangement, and decor piece was perfect down to the last petal. Andrea and her talented team took on the huge task of handling the majority of the floral decor for our large wedding party and guest count. The end results were jaw-droppingly gorgeous statements. From the bouquets to the arch to the aisle flowers to the centerpieces, Andrea brought our vision to life flawlessly. Every piece perfectly complemented our color scheme and style. All of our guests were raving over the flowers and decor. I cannot recommend The Flower Petal highly enough for any bride in need of a florist who will make your wedding flowers picture-perfect.

Engaged couples worry that the wrong DJ will spoil their wedding. With Synapse Entertainment, you get a personalized playlist for your big day and the fun, organized reception that you dreamed about! With many DJ companies, you don't get to talk to your DJ until late in the process. With Synapse Entertainment, you know up front that your DJ will be Ivan, a trusted DJ/MC.

Awarded Best of Zola
We could not be happier with our choice to have Ivan as our DJ. He was cordial, organized, friendly, and fun. He met with us beforehand to go over logistics and preferences but was totally flexible when things shifted on the actual day (as they always do). His music taste is fantastic and was perfectly suited to our recommendations for the reception (and we are both very particular about music). During our meeting before the wedding, we were very specific in our requests, both of songs to play and to avoid— he understood the themes and picked a great set list to dance the night away. Our guests packed out the dance floor and still talk about how fun the dancing was at our wedding, thanks to Ivan. I can’t speak highly enough of DJ Ivan!

WOW. The CLE Keys were one of the easiest vendors I ever worked with. Greg, their guy-that-does-it-all, basically acted as a wedding coordinator to get speeches, dances, etc. completed on time and THEN jumped on the piano and played all night! The only thing I would change if I could go back, is getting them to play even longer!! We couldn't get people off the dance floor! I am hope to have another party in the future just so I can book them again. Absolute rockstars!

I originally was not going to go the photographer route but when I changed my mind a week and a half out, Magnolia Pine was there for us. I am incredibly grateful and impressed by the level of effort Lauren put in with such little time to go. The day of the wedding she went out of her way to buy props that she thought fit our aesthetic and she exceeded anything I could have come up with on my own. 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. If you want someone that will be able to fit the vibe you are looking for even with other pressures from guests, Lauren is your girl!

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!

The Madison

Cleveland, OH
  • Venue
  • Up to 600 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $8,500

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.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Classic, vintage atmosphere
  • Space for a large guest list
  • Multiple event spaces

Venue considerations

  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
  • Limited cleanup and setup services
  • Lighting and sound are not included
Awarded Best of Zola
Being in the event industry ourselves, we knew finding a team of key partners to work with would be pivotal to success for our wedding. Anthony and Daryl at The Madison knocked it out of the park. We wanted a fun, unique and industrial-vibe venue and this venue provides all that and so much more. It is a blank canvas that truly allows you to turn it into whatever your vision may be. The service, ideas, and personal attention the team at The Madison give each event is incredible. From our first meeting with them, we knew they were the team for us to create a successful and memorable wedding. They offer a variety of bar package tiers to fit your budget and are able to accommodate custom / signature drinks for an additional personal touch. The bar staff they provide are true sweethearts. When it comes to load in / setup, they are there to not only help you, but are willing to accommodate anything and everything you may need. The venue offers a variety of different spaces to accommodate everything from a cocktail hour, ceremony, reception and outdoor spaces all at one venue. Truly, everything you could ask for. There are a handful of preferred caterers they work well with to provide anything you could need from a catering perspective. The venue is a blank slate, and with that, allows you to add your own creativity to develop the event you vision. Ample amount of available electric also allows for pretty much any level of production you are looking to host here. The venue is great, but - as mentioned above - it is the people who truly build your team. The two gentlemen who run this facility (Anthony and Daryl) are the ones behind the magic here. They honestly care and have your event’s best interest in mind. They are willing to step in and assist on anything needed and are truly team players when it comes to building your vendor team. Thank you to the two of you for making our wedding dreams come true. — Jeff & Cierra

She is California Pro Makeup Graduate, but from Ohio and wants to make the everyday Ohio woman look and feel beautiful on that special day or for that special occasion.

Makeup is her form of art.

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. I definitely recommend booking Facecanvas!

I love to tell a good story. My venture into the video production field started in high school at the school tv station and then grew from there. I graduated from Bowling Green and while in school was working at the local CBS station in Toledo. That's where I learned how to tell a good story and it has progressed into weddings. I moved back to the Cleveland area in 2017 and started my own company in 2018 and have been covering weddings and events since.

Matthew is amazing! He met with us before the wedding to discuss what we wanted and get to know us better as a couple! We stated how we were so excited our grandparents could still come to our wedding and i even let Matthew in on the surprise necklace i had made for my husband. My husband lost his brother at a young age and i had a necklace made so josh could be with us that day. Matthew made sure in our wedding video that our grandparents were shown and the necklace of josh all without us ever telling him to do so! I still cry every time i watch it! On our wedding day Matthew went above and beyond. He helped the photographer by throwing my vail and making sure my dress train was straight. He even mopped our dance floor after guests had spilled drinks on it! And while i was getting pictures done i had mentioned i had a headache from no caffeine. In minutes he had coke and Diet Coke in his hands asking which i wanted!! And that’s all before we even got to see all of our footage! He captured everything PERFECTLY! And our wedding trailer looks like a Hollywood movie, we to this day still get compliments on it! We’ve watched our raw footage over and over again. We laugh and cry and relive our wedding day as if it was just yesterday. Do yourself a favor and hire Matthew. It will be the most stress free decision you ever made!

Nicole made my partner and I immediately feel at ease and comfortable from the time we first met. She communicates consistently with ease and kindness. She was someone I could talk through things with for planning photos ops to make sure the small soecial moments were captured in an organic way. She and Tyler both were so funny and kind, making my husband and I both feel like we had friends that were there with us for some of the most intimate moments of our relationship. This is an important aspect that I didn’t realize until we were in the wedding! Nicole and tyler both have an incredible way to capture their vision effortlessly. They brought our day to life through photos- which was extra meaningful because we did not have a videographer. We were so appreciative when they took our disposable cameras and developed the photos, seamlessly integrating them into our online album. Nicole and tyler have a way of capturing the saturated, golden, sparkly feeling we felt all throughout the day in photo 3 it is so important to have a photographer that makes you feel comfortable and Nicole is just that & more

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 Elizabeth Photography

I have always loved photography, people, and creating art. Weddings encompass all of that. There is nothing better than getting to know two people, learning their love story, and capturing the raw moments and emotion of one of the biggest days of their lives. I'm passionate (and perhaps a bit perfectionistic!) and I have photographed hundreds of weddings and portraits in Ohio since opening my business in 2011. I can't wait to see what comes next!

Jen is an amazing photographer and a wonderful person! Jen is professional, kind, and truly cares about her clients! Jen took the photos for our wedding, which was planned for 2020, and every time we had to change the date, she was very accommodating and offered to help us in any way she could! Jen captured every detail of our day perfectly and returned our pictures in a very timely manner! I cannot recommend Jennifer Elizabeth Photography enough, and I am excited to have Jen capture more pictures in the future!

Awarded Best of Zola
Dragonfly Photography was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. Finding the perfect photographer for our wedding was at the top of our priority list. We wanted timeless images, but more than that, we wanted to find someone who would make the process easy and be someone we would enjoy spending time with on our wedding day. Just a few minutes into speaking with Dragonfly's lead photographer, Oona, we instantly connected and knew that she and her team would be the perfect fit to capture our wedding day. Oona is such a kind and genuine person, and her calming presence and positive energy is infectious. From day one, she really took the time to get to know us and make us feel comfortable. Throughout the planning process, she went above and beyond, working with our other vendors behind the scenes to ensure every base was covered. During the months leading up to our wedding, she even sent us reminders, items to pack, timeline suggestions, and genuine messages of excitement for my husband and I over the course of the planning process. It was truly a top-notch experience . The Dragonfly photographers are rare wedding professionals who truly listen to what is most important to YOU, and true cheerleaders for your wants and needs for your day. We will always cherish the photographs they took of us and are honored to have their work lining the walls of our home for years to come. Dragonfly Photography is worth every penny, and my husband and I could never imagine not having them by our side on the most important day of our lives. If they are available on your date, book them immediately!!
