Established in 1969, the 50-acre parcel in Brunswick with nothing more than an old barn and a dream. The barn, originally built in 1869, became the foundation for a Ski Lodge, but would ultimately become the event center that it is today. Although many updates and renovations have taken place over the last 50 years the original barn remains intact, and its beams are still visible in the hall. Over the years Skyview Lodge has held countless events. The building was renovated again in 2001 to expand its capacity and continue building upon the success of the hall rentals. Skyview Lodge heads into its 3rd generation of family ownership & tradition with big plans on the horizon! We look forward to you becoming part of our rich history!

Skyview was the perfect venue for our wedding! We loved that we could bring our own catering and that the alcohol was provided. The bar packages are awesome. Jordan and Donna were so helpful from the beginning. Easy to work with, kind and very communicative whenever I had questions. The venue itself is beautiful, we got so many compliments on the ceremony space and we did very minimal decoration.

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.

We got married at Tom's Country Place on June 6th and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Ashley was incredible throughout the entire process—she answered our questions quickly, explained everything clearly, and made sure all our vendors had what they needed to do their jobs well. The space itself is gorgeous and plenty big for a celebration, with delicious food that our guests are still talking about. What really stood out was how affordable the venue is without cutting corners on quality or service. The staff went above and beyond to make our day special, and we'd recommend TCP to any couple looking for the perfect wedding venue!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot even put in to words how thankful I am that we had Tyson as our DJ at our wedding!! Our day was absolutely perfect and a large part of that was due to Tyson’s organization, creativity and fun spirit. We have not stopped receiving messages asking who our DJ was and for his contact information because he was just THAT GOOD!!! The dance floor was so crowded and not a single guest left early because Tyson curated the most perfect party through music. He kindly listened to all of our silly requests for song choices and also was able to gauge the crowd for what music they enjoyed. There was not a single song played that the whole room wasn’t dancing to and I was afraid to leave the dance floor to get dessert or a drink for fear of missing out on whatever the next song was about to be. If you are even thinking about using Tyson to DJ your event, do not hesitate. It was the best decision we made!!

For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for creating in any capacity. It wasn't until I picked up a camera that I found out what my favorite type of creating was. Being creative is what I do, simple. I am from Northeast OH. My favorite thing to capture would have to be a toss up between sports and weddings. I love to workout and think fitness is important. But most importantly, God is the head of my life and I wouldn't be where I am OR where I'm headed without him.

Donte did such an amazing job at our wedding! He was very kind and professional and everyone was pleasantly surprised how fun he was too! He made sure to capture all the important moments of our wedding day while also being a part of the party and hitting some dance moves on the dance floor! 10/10 would recommend hiring him for any important events that you want to be captured in a meaningful way.

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 :)

Her communication style was open, accommodating, and amazing. The quality of Paige's work is simply beautiful, and her services were incredibly adaptable to us and worked within our budget without any stress. On our wedding day, Paige felt like one of the family and did an amazing job capturing all of our best moments, from the ceremony to the reception.

What makes my business stand out is the care, attention to detail, and personalized experience I give every single client. I don’t believe in “one look fits all.” I take the time to understand your style, skin type, features, and vision to create a glam that enhances your natural beauty while still making you feel comfortable and confident. I specialize in bridal makeup and hair, using high-quality products and techniques that last all day. My goal is to create an experience where my clients feel relaxed, listened to, and excited about their final look. I truly love what I do, and I put my heart into every appointment.

From our first conversation, Balsam was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. She listened closely to what I wanted and turned my vision into reality with her artistic skill. My makeup looked flawless all night and didn't budge, even through dancing and celebrating. What really impressed me was that she included a touch-up kit, which was such a thoughtful addition. Balsam made our wedding day feel special and I could tell she genuinely cared about getting everything just right. I'd recommend her to any bride looking for a makeup artist who is both talented and a pleasure to be around.

Her presence is calming, supportive, and incredibly thoughtful, and it made all the difference. She was so flexible and available whenever needed. She knows what she is doing and this is truly a passion and something her entire family seems to put their heart and soul into. One thing that really stood out is that Michelle only works with vendors who share her same vision and level of care. Every recommendation she provided—from catering to bartending—was absolutely top notch. It removed so much stress knowing we were in the best hands with people that knew the venue well and didn't rely on us for information. We booked the full weekend package, and I cannot recommend it enough (sure the price might shock you a bit at first, but it ultimately ended up saving us money and alot of stress due to lodging of family, ourselves and rehearsal dinner space all being in one place). Being able to host our rehearsal dinner on-site Friday night while already soaking in the beautiful grounds set the tone for the entire weekend. Even more special, our parents and siblings stayed in the house with us, which made everything feel intimate, easy, and so meaningful. The morning of the wedding was something I’ll never forget—while the girls were up early getting ready in the bridal suite, we kept looking outside at everyone else relaxing by the lake with coffee, thinking “must be nice :)” It truly felt like a retreat with the people we love most and I didn't think I would be able to get something like this in Ohio... but then Michelle came along and proved me wrong :) Basil Place gave us not just a wedding day, but an entire experience we’ll cherish forever. If you want a venue where you feel supported, cared for, and completely present for your wedding, this is the place. We are endlessly grateful to the entire staff for helping us start our lives in such a special way!

  • Florist

  • Serves Dorset, OH

I’m Nicole, Owner and Lead Designer of SLF. My path to florals was not conventional, but it was intentional. After 8 years as a probation officer, I had my son, reevaluated my life, and fell in love with the world of floral design. Today, I create elevated floral experiences rooted in romantic palettes, texture, and thoughtful composition. Every bloom is chosen with purpose and must feel right. As a mother, I am ever-conscious of how quickly moments pass. This awareness shapes the way I design by not simply creating arrangements, but helping to frame memories and bring warmth to once-in-a-lifetime celebrations.

Sophie Lou Florals went above and beyond to make my wedding day flawless. She hand delivered the flowers. The flowers were fresh and just gorgeous. She listened to what I wanted, drafted up pictures and then delivered perfectly on what I wanted! I highly recommend using them for your events.

Hi! My name is Katie and I own Katie’s Kakes! I am a small cottage law baker out of my home in Madison, Ohio. I have been a chef for many years and one year I wanted to make my mom a special cake for Mother’s Day. Her favorite flower is hydrangea, so I attempted to make a cake that looked like a hydrangea. It didn’t look as bad as I thought it was going to. After posting it, I had many friends and family reach out for me to bake them a custom cake. Finally in 2022 I decided to create Katie’s Kakes and received my LLC. I love being in the kitchen and creating something beautiful and tasty for any wedding! I love what I do!

I got the opportunity to try a variety of sweets from Katie’s Kakes & she pleasantly surpassed my expectations! Between beautifully decorated chocolate cake to personalized cookies it was everything and more. I’m very much pleased with the service & would highly recommend her for any needs you may have!

Hi, I’m Vanna. I’m a documentary photographer near Cleveland. I hunt for the things that usually slip through the cracks. The heavy weight of a glance when no one else is looking. The way the light cuts across a room right before everything changes. The raw, unfiltered energy of the people you love most, caught in moments they don't even know are being watched. I want to capture the emotions that linger in a space long after the day is done. ♡

Remington&Clover Photography was the perfect choice for our photography! Their communication style is always so responsive and they were always willing to capture every special moment. The quality of their work is 100000/10 - it's always perfect! Vanna, the photographer, made me feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera, even though I normally feel awkward posing. She was able to capture incredible candid shots that I never thought were possible. Vanna is truly the sweetest person to work with and has been there for all of my life events. She's the best photographer I've ever had, and I know she'll continue to be my go-to for all my photography needs!

Fullem Films 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Dorset, OH

Hello! I'm Danny and I've wanted to be a filmmaker since I was seven years old. Wes Craven's "Scream" was the catalyst for having a camera in my hands. I have a need to tell stories that resonate with people and make them feel something. ​ I also happen to be a HUGE sap. I love filming weddings because I genuinely love seeing people at their absolute happiest. The opportunity to turn that happiness into art that couple's can look back on is so gratifying.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could reccomend Fullem Films to every single bride and grooms to be, I would. Going through the process of picking vendors we wanted a photographer and videographer that really valued the art and creativity aspect of their work, and also made their work feel like "us". Fullem Films did this, and went above and beyond. Not only did we get a sneak peek video the DAY AFTER our wedding, but the actual highlight feel video takes me right back to our special day: capturing the moments that stick out in my memory. 10/10 work, and if I could give him 10 stars -- I would.

Plumtree offers a thoughtfully curated collection of unique gifts and cherished keepsakes, perfect for celebrating life’s most meaningful moments—from weddings and new babies to housewarmings and beyond. Each piece is designed to bring warmth, joy, and lasting connection to every milestone.

Plumtree Paper Goods made the whole stationery process so easy from start to finish. They got back to us quickly with ideas and really listened to what we wanted, we didn't even have to make any changes. The designs they created felt unique and fit our wedding perfectly, nothing felt generic or rushed. We loved how everything was handled efficiently, so we didn't have to stress about this part of our planning. The quality of the paper and printing was excellent, and honestly, it was worth every penny. Pricing was beyond fair for the excellent quality. We'd definitely work with them again and recommend them to anyone looking for custom invitations and paper goods.
