Merkels Floral Studio 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $10,000
  • Serves Mentor-on-the-Lake, 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!

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.

It was amazing to work with Tyson! The final meeting before the wedding was so helpful for us to fully understand what our day will look like. On top of being our DJ, he was also our officiant. It was such an awesome service for him to offer. He was easy to work with to make minor changes to the ceremony script. He brought such a positive and fun energy to our ceremony. Then as we moved into the reception, we had some specific requests for music and announcements and he was able to make everything flow perfectly, just as we had imagined. He kept people on the dance floor all night and it was such a blast! Definitely could not recommend Tyson more for your wedding officiant and DJ!

Awarded Best of Zola
Follow the Sun is seriously the best band ever! Not only do they sound amazing, they were so easy to communicate and plan with and are just genuinely good people. Prior to booking, we came out to watch a live performance and even though they were crazy busy, they each made a point to come say hi and get to know us a little bit. Sophie (our contact person for emails while planning) was personable, responsive, and beyond accommodating. They offer complimentary song requests during the planning process and personalized their performances to include us and our people They also played our ceremony live, and it was better than I could have ever imagined it would be! All we wanted for our wedding day was to celebrate and have fun with our friends and family, and Follow the Sun was the exact vibe we were looking for! I don’t think we left the dance floor once all night, other than to take sunset photos. Richie got our daughter involved by giving her a pick and letting her play his guitar mid performance, a highlight she hasn’t stopped talking about and will never forget!! Annnd they shared a bag of Doritos with me at the end of the night during cleanup, that I will never forget! Lol (trust me, when the wedding is over and you realize you never really get a chance to eat the entire day, you will get it ) Just another example of how great these people are!! We received so many compliments from our guests and everyone wanted to know who the band was! Seriously, one of the best decisions we made was booking with them! From the planning, to the ceremony, to the reception and even after, the band was so great to work with. We are already planning a trip to the Cleveland area to catch one of their upcoming shows! If you are looking for an upbeat, energetic, personable, genuinely fun, professional band that sounds amazing, don’t hesitate, book now! You won’t regret it!!

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.

My husband I got married at Sun Valley on 10/14/22, and I would highly, highly recommend this venue!! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, the inside was clean and spacious, and all of their staff is wonderful!

We received many compliments from our friends and family about how beautiful the venue is both inside and outside. I worked with Jennifer throughout the planning process, and she was not only so incredibly sweet and helpful, but she was also super quick at responding to emails and any questions I had whether big or small. Halle and Kendall were both SO sweet and helpful, and the bartender, Bobby (who I believe works for the venue) was absolutely wonderful! I would definitely recommend Sun Valley to any couple looking for a beautiful venue, especially if they want an outdoor ceremony in the fall! Thank you to everyone at Sun Valley for making our wedding day so special and for truly caring about your couples!

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.

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.

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

  • Up to 450 guests

Tom’s Country Place, established in 1959. Our venue accommodates 80-450 guests. Located in a wooded area on 20 acres of scenic grounds, our beautiful gardens provide a picturesque setting for your wedding ceremony & photos. In 1945 a hard-working farmer, Thomas Hricovec had a vision to cater to families with a welcoming atmosphere. His wife, Mary, stood by him and dedicated her time to help him in their journey. 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.

Hey there! We're Colleen and Amanda of Wild Embers Photography (formerly Rustic Light Photography). We are committed to ensuring you have the best experience ever that reflects your raw, unique, and wild love. We want to capture the wholly and unique YOU. We're your gals if you're into candid moments, raw emotion, and embracing spontaneity.

Photography was the number one priority for me when I was planning my wedding because I knew the day would fly by in an instant, and I wanted to remember every moment. Wild Embers Photography not only produced gorgeous images, but they produced A LOT of images - perfect for someone like me who wanted to remember every little detail. Amanda and Colleen were both so easy to work with, responsible, responsive, open to our ideas, and helped us troubleshoot through rough spots in the planning process. They made us laugh, taught us how to pose, and helped us genuinely enjoy our photo sessions for both our engagement and wedding photos. They fulfilled every expectation and beyond - and when there are so many moving parts when it comes to planning a wedding, it was nice to not have to worry about photography :)
