So you’re getting married in Ohio - great choice! Ohio boasts an incredibly diverse offering of landscapes, seasons (sometimes all in one day!), and cultural experiences: the beautiful shores of Lake Erie; Cuyahoga Valley National Park; world-class museums; culturally diverse communities; and, yes, corn - all in one easily-accessible state. There will be no shortage of activities to offer your guests - without the big-city-travel price tag.
Since 2017, I’ve planned and designed weddings, celebrations, and events for quirky couples, cool nonprofits, and innovative brands here in Northeast Ohio and beyond.
Some people come to us with a general idea of their desired vibe. Others bring a very specific plan they want us to pull off. We’re down either way.
Because celebrations that are “true to you” are the hands-down best kind. Whatever your vision, we’ll do our part to make it happen while lifting all the stress off your shoulders.
