Vendors We Love

Through the years, I have worked with many vendors.  I am proud to say that I have found a few that I consider part of our family.  If you are looking for any of the following services, I highly recommend reaching out to these wonderful people.  If you need further references or recommendations, let me know. We would love to help.

As I have said before, a good caterer knows what they specialize in and their limits.  While Cannon Events & Catering can make most dishes, we know that BBQ is not our specialty.  So when I need good BBQ for an event, we call Bullyz BBQ & Catering.  Doug has been perfecting his Texas style BBQ chicken, pulled pork, smoked brisket for years.  In addition, they also have tacos, Cubanos, Gyros and Panini Sandwiches.  While based in Wooster, they will travel to your location with their always fresh and tasty products.

For desserts and cakes, we look to two different professionals for this - Jamie Lane Sweets and Sweet Beginnings.  Both will deliver fresh baked products throughout Northeast Ohio to your location.  Please see their websites for photos of their creations.  Sweet Beginnings also carries those items to make your own sweets including candy molds, chocolate melts, cupcake liners, cake pans, and many more baking items.

Looking for something special to wear for the big event?  Look no further than Creations Unlimited in Downtown Willoughby.  Lissa can take a dress you think you like and make it exactly want you want.  She has a vision for dresses that you cannot believe.  I have had the pleasure of see her walk a bride through a dress and create the dress of her dreams.  Additionally, she can work her magic on a vintage family dress turning it into a modern piece while keeping the integrity of the original family heirloom.  You will find not only wedding dresses, but evening wear and accessories at the store.  Found an accessory online, but not a fan of the outrageous price?  This is one more thing Lissa excels at.  She creates custom headpieces, broach bouquets, masquerade masks, hats, fascinators and more for your special event.

Is your event being held in a room that doesn't quite fit the theme?  Are you looking for some interesting decor to set you event apart?  When we have this issue, I call Matt at Lindsay London Event Decor.  From unique backdrops, centerpieces & candelabras, plate charges, GoBo Projections to full room custom lighting, Matt has you covered.  He will take the most basic looking ballroom and turn it into the location backdrop custom designed for your theme.  Need something else?  Let Matt know.  He will work to make sure everything is perfect for your day.

Looking for a florist for your wedding or even to send those make-up flowers, look no further than Plant Magic Florist.  Michelle and her team always make the best impressions.  They work within all budgets.  Their product is very fresh and long lasting.  My personal favorite is to give them free reign over the design.  They have never steered me wrong.

When selecting a jeweler, expertise comes to mind.  I am lucky enough to have worked with Steve and Tom of Daved Jewelers for years.  Daved has been in business since 1945.  They specialize in custom pieces and also have an inventory of jewelry including earrings, rings, and pendants.  They strive to offer high quality jewelry to meet all budgets.  If they can't custom create it for you, they will locate it.  They also sell and repair watches.  Stop in to see what they have in the store today or schedule a consultation to have that custom piece created.

There are many limousine companies in Northeast Ohio.  What sets Vitalone's Limousine Service apart is their customer service.  From the very start when you request a quote, you will see the difference.  They will work with you to make sure you are getting the number of type of vehicles you need. The great service doesn't stop there.  The Vitalone's team make sure you get clean and safe vehicles with professional knowledgeable drivers.  Check out their complete fleet on their website.

When setting the tone for an event, table linens can really pull everything together.  When I am looking for a special linen to complete a look, I call Angela and her team at L'nique Specialty Linen Rental.  From soft burlaps for a rustic look to silk for a regal look, to a fun print for a birthday party, L'nique has it all.  Start by visiting their website to pick out looks you like, then schedule a time to go to the showroom.  They will work with you setting up tables to create that special look.

Photography is an art.  Most people think you just point the camera and push the button.  It is not that simple if you want to capture your event in the best possible way.  Knowing how to look past the actual event and capture the feelings of the attendees takes someone special.  Jessica Spuzzillo Photography does that.  They take the standard shots and capture those special little moments you may not have seen during the event. Jessica takes the time to get to know her clients to make sure she captures the event perfectly.

For party rentals from tents to games to dishes to serving ware, we use Sun Rental.  Melanie and Jamie work their magic in a pinch for me when it comes to party rentals.  They have a large inventory of a variety of items, even some things you would not have thought of but add that little extra to your event.  You can pick-up or they deliver to your site.  I have rented from them even at the last minute.  If you don't see something on their website, just ask. They will be happy to help you.
