We loved The Spot! We had our wedding reception there in August. We has 185 guests attend, and the space was perfect size for it! The dance floor is huge, and you can have up to two bars including one big one! The location is perfect - we had out of town guests stay in hotels one block away and a lot of people walked to The Banks bars after the reception! Another great aspect is they let you bring in your own catering/alcohol, which gives a lot of flexibility (and isn’t as hard as you’d think to coordinate).

The Factory was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. April was super responsive and accommodating in planning our day! We would however recommend a wedding planner/coordinator which was an option within the venue packages. We went without a planner and had to scramble to orchestrate some details the day of. Small details, but overall a great experience and would absolutely recommend for couples that are looking for a more casual wedding day!

My husband and I couldn’t be happier to have hired Dami with Creations by Dami! Planning a wedding in less than three months felt overwhelming (as you can imagine), but she made it an absolute breeze. From start to finish, Dami was incredibly kind, reliable, and patient. Since we were planning from out of town, we were concerned about coordinating everything from afar, but she kept us informed every step of the way and truly made us feel at ease.

Emily is absolutely incredible! From the very start of the wedding planning process to the big day itself, she went above and beyond to make everything seamless and stress-free. She was always available to bounce ideas off of and provided so much valuable insight. Whether it was creating the perfect timeline, coordinating with all our vendors, or helping me elevate our table decor with creative ideas, Emily’s expertise was evident every step of the way. Her support extended beyond the planning process—she was a tremendous help at our rehearsal dinner and took charge of running the wedding day flawlessly. She and her assistant set up the entire ceremony and reception space exactly how I envisioned it, down to the smallest detail. I was so particular about placement, and they followed everything to perfection. The result was absolutely stunning! Any issues that arose on the wedding day were handled so efficiently that I didn’t even know about them until afterward. Emily’s calm presence and ability to manage everything truly put me at ease. And as a thoughtful surprise, a day or two after the wedding, she sent me behind-the-scenes photos and videos that she captured throughout the day—it was such a special and unexpected gift! Emily is not only an incredibly talented coordinator but also one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. I can’t imagine what our wedding day would have been like without her.

Right Here Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Symmes, OH

For over 14 years, I’ve been one of the lucky ones who gets to have my passion also be my profession. Under the big skies of Wichita, Kansas, where I was born and raised, I bought my first DSLR camera in 2008 and was hooked for life. Then I landed a job with a national portrait studio and was suddenly getting paid to do what I loved. My love for the craft took me to several cities as a regional manager, and eventually landed me here in Cincinnati. Though I moved on from that job, Cincinnati sunk its claws into me for good. I, my wife Katie, and our four (or more depending on when you ask) beloved cats now call the Queen City home.

Jason and Katie were an absolute joy to work with! My husband and I booked them to photograph our December 2023 wedding and they made the entire process so simple and stress-free. They included an engagement photo session ahead of the wedding so we had the chance to get a feel for being in front of the camera, plus we got some gorgeous photos for our save the dates. They were there for the entire wedding day, so they captured a ton of great candid shots every step of the way, from the bridal party getting ready, to the pre-wedding set up, to the dance floor at the reception. In addition to all the great candids, they were full of ideas for our couple and bridal party photos, and we were blown away by how gorgeous the pictures turned out. They had the perfect mix of giving us direction so we were framed and posed well without making us feel overwhelmed. We couldn't be happier with both the photos and the overall process of working with Right Here Photography. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

Rhinegeist has a beautiful venue set up for weddings, so much that we didn’t have to get much decor because we didn’t want to over shadow the wood and brick aesthetic, the photo opportunities around are also very unique and untraditional which was perfect for us. The beer was also great and the staff was super nice and were there for us whenever we needed them. No one seemed like they didn’t want to be there. The wedding couldn’t have gone smoother.

I just had to share how happy I am with the service from The Bar Cincy! In the middle of all the chaos that comes with party planning, these guys were a total lifesaver. We used their Party Package for my dad’s 75th birthday bash, and it was honestly perfect. From the get-go, The Bar Cincy made everything super easy. They took care of all the drinks for kids and adults alike, so I could focus on other stuff—like making sure my dad didn’t get too teary-eyed over his milestone. The setup was smooth, the drinks were fantastic, and they even made sure to cater to all our guests’ preferences. It was such a relief not to have to juggle a million things and still have a top-notch bar experience. If you’re looking for a way to make your next party a breeze and ensure everyone’s having a great time, I can’t recommend The Bar Cincy enough. Seriously, they nailed it, and I’m so grateful for their help. Cheers to making parties easier and more fun!

Your wedding should be a stress-free and joyous celebration! And to capture all the love and life and happiness, your photographer should be focused on the emotions of the day, not only the pretty centerpieces. At Mischief and Laughs Photography, we believe that the important things aren’t the things at the wedding, but the people – your families, your friends, and most importantly the person you are about to marry. We carry this love for love into every wedding we photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Mischief and Laughs Photography was wonderful. Cara was very responsive and easy to work with, leading up to and on the day of the wedding. She was extremely professional and went above and beyond in working with us. The ceremony and bridal party pictures are absolutely beautiful, but I think where the photos really shine are the wonderful little moments of the day that she captured. Neither my husband nor I are big on staged photos so we wanted a photographer who would get those in-the-moment shots. I am so happy with all of the pictures from the after-dinner cigars on the outside patio and of our friends and family on the dance floor. If you want someone who can truly capture the celebration, you need to book Mischief and Laughs for your wedding.

Hi!! Im Sophie and I’ve pretty much had a camera in my hand since I was 12 years old. I’ve always been obsessed with the “aesthetic” and romanticizing every moment possible. Being able to pause the present moment, and create art that will last a lifetime…. That feels like magic to me! I strive to create images that feel like a movie, images that tell your unique love story. My mission is not only to capture the special moments, but everything in between. The laughs and the love… the tears and the makeup mess of getting ready. All of the authentic beauty of your wedding day that you will be able to look back on forever.

Sophie is so communicative, kind, personable, and overall amazing, she did our engagement pictures and they turned out BEAUTIFUL. She made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable. We both had no idea how to pose, and she helped us the entire time and made it so easy, and fun. She even put together a few little collages for us and also made some black and white to add a fun variety! We cannot wait for her to do our wedding, we are so lucky we found her!!

The Backstage Event Center was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, the staff was friendly, helpful, and responsive, making the planning process stress-free. Prior to the wedding they worked with us to plan the order of events and helped us plan our vision for decorations. On the day of, they executed our vision flawlessly and made the set up and rehearsal process so easy. Elenya and her team even improvised when we lost the cord to our neon name sign before drop off and they searched everywhere until they found a backup. The Backstage's combination of stunning exposed brick, warm lighting, and flexible layout allowed us to create the perfect ambiance for our special day. The celebration was perfect from start to finish and everyone was on the floor dancing all night. The entire time the event team was there to help, and they even boxed all of our decorations up for an easy pick up the next day. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to bring our wedding dreams to life.

Joey was a joy to work with. We decided to get a videographer very last minute (we're talking one week before the wedding) and we're so glad Joey was available. He was very responsive and we were able to agree on terms quickly. The day of our wedding, he was prompt, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and fun. He and the photographers, who he'd never met before, meshed so well you'd think they were from the same company. I can't wait to see the results!

  • Serves Symmes, OH

The Party Pleasers team is made up of over 25 DJs and Event Decorators that can fit any style of event. We look forward to discussing your event and help design a celebration that captures your unique vision.

Overall music selection and sound was great, maybe a little too loud a some points but that may also be due to speaker placement. There was an issue with the DJ going to the wrong site initially. Our venue had 3 ceremony/reception sites, and he set up across the street at one of the other sites. This caused a delay in set up, but our coordinator and site manger were able to help him. I don’t think he verified with anyone when he arrived that he was at the correct wedding before setting up. Ceremony music sound was great. Microphones were provided which was great so everyone could hear us and our officiant

Trained with Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, L'Oreal, MAC, and more, her portfolio includes national and local publications, commercials, reality shows, and celebrities.

Chenese leverages her production experience to ensure bridal makeup translates beautifully in person and in photography and video, delivering flawless results for weddings and special events.

I booked Chenese for my wedding makeup based on her great reviews and amazing work and I am so glad I did. My wedding was planned in 2 months and she was able to easily schedule me for my run through and wedding makeup. She was available to speak to me and answer questions leading up to my run through appointment. She was extremely thorough in her questions and professional at all times during the makeup run through. She asked thoughtful questions and made me really hone in on what I wanted. It was a smooth and easy process. On the day of my wedding she was on time and very helpful. And her work was beautiful! I got compliments all night and wore my makeup long into the night, with it looking just as she first did it. I was so pleased with how I looked on my wedding day thanks to Chenese - I truly felt like a princess. She also did wonderful work on my mother who is in her 60s and she made sure her makeup looked appropriate to her age. I also found out afterwards that she also did several of my cousins makeup for their weddings! I have found my makeup artist here in Cincinnati!

  • Photographer

  • Serves Symmes, OH

I'm a Cincinnati wedding photographer who recently moved here from Phoenix. I live here with my kickass wife and our equally kickass dog. I got into photography after going to school for and working in the film industry. I love playing basketball, petting dogs' bellies, and hanging with the people I love. If there's a tasty treat involved, all the better.

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, Aaron's photos are worth 1 million! We are so grateful to have worked with Aaron for our wedding this November! From our first email and meeting to the big day itself, he was one of our favorite vendors to work with and did a phenomenal job capturing the emotions of the day. Aaron (and his pup!) did a fantastic job answering all of our questions during our initial meeting. He immediately got the style we wanted for our photos and was a great brainstorming partner in the lead up to the wedding. We were able to work with him to create an in depth shot list that made getting all of our must-have photos a breeze the day of our wedding. And while those were gorgeous, the candid photos ended up being our favorites! Aaron and his second shooter (also Aaron!) captured incredible candid shots throughout the day that are nothing short of breathtaking. From the goofiness of our pre-ceremony shots with family and the wedding party to poignant family moments while we got ready, they captured every moment beautifully and absolutely represent the warmth and love of the day. The framing and lighting in each shot were perfectly chosen—you can feel the emotions in each photo like you are there! As someone who has worked with a number of photographers throughout the years for work and events, I can honestly say that Aaron is the best photographer I have had a pleasure of working with. Do not hesitate to work with him—he is truly best!
