Never did I imagine that my husband and l's big day would be such an amazing stress free event. Destiny and her team at the Postmark left a big imprint on our hearts and made us feel like we were a part of the teams family. Never once did they rush us or push us to do anything we never wanted. Destiny gave us some amazing recommendations on floor plans, ideas for decor and helped us through every step of the way and did it all with a smile. Any questions I had? Instantly answered with ease and then some. Not even did I gain a beautiful memory and a beautiful place for pictures, but a few friends along the way!

  • Photographer

  • Serves Portsmouth, OH

Hi, I'm Treiva.. The owner and lead photographer of Sugar N Spice Photography located out of Central Ohio. Photography has been my passion since I was 15 years old. I can remember getting my hands on my first camera and knowing this is what I wanted to do forever. For me, I love the feeling I get when I know I captured that special moment for you and your family... knowing it will last forever.

Sugar N Spice Photography was exceptional from start to finish. They communicated exceptionally well throughout the entire process, always keeping us informed and addressing any questions or concerns we had. The quality of their work was incredibly professional, and their pricing was very reasonable for the level of service they provided. They went above and beyond on our wedding day - not only did the photographer meet with us beforehand to help plan out our timeline and photography wishes, but she also brought an emergency kit with her that came in handy when a few unexpected issues came up. When some last-minute delays occurred, she helped keep us calm and on track. We were so impressed by her attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. We would recommend Sugar N Spice Photography to any couple looking for a fantastic wedding photography experience!

I do not think that I could say enough good things about this place and about this venue. First, Lauren is one of the best humans on this planet and I hope every bride has someone like her if they are planning on doing all of the planning themselves. I chose the package Lauren offers where I got to have her as the "Day of Coordinator" and she was on top of EVERYTHING. Any question, any idea, and every anxiety I had over this past year about this day, I would even go to her. She would help talk me through everything I needed and made sure any of my extra ideas that she could arrange for me prior to the day of, she did. I think there is a responsibility on every brides end, to have a good understanding at what a venue has to offer when choosing one. There is also a responsibility for a bride to ask questions and make sure everyone is on the same page to make the day perfect. You cannot assume anything. If you are looking for a place that has great staff, the prettiest view and everything in between- I would highly recommend Bell Manor. My wedding day was better than I could have ever imagined, and I truly felt like I made a great friend in the process. Thank you again Lauren and Bell Manor! Love, Adam and Tiffany

Toast Weddings was the perfect choice for our wedding videography needs. From the very beginning, their team was responsive, compassionate, and highly professional in their communication. The quality of their work was excellent - they captured all the special, custom moments of our wedding day in Waialua, Hawaii with a keen eye for detail. As a couple who was 7 months pregnant with our first child at the time, the Toast Weddings team went above and beyond to cater to our unique situation and make sure our memories were beautifully preserved. Our videographer, Jason, had a truly creative vision that shone through in the final highlight video we received just 3 months after our wedding.

We had Nick Wright as our "master DJ" for our June 2026 wedding at Landoll's Mohican Castle. Nick was AMAZING - he was open to every genre of music; including k-pop, the Lord of the Rings soundtrack, video game music, early 2000s, and more! He walked us through the party pleasers app, which was fantastic. You could upload full spotify playlists straight into the app. The app also breaks down each section of wedding day for every song you may need (ceremony, cocktail hour, cutting the cake, dinner, dancing, etc.). Nick was super nice and was able to do our sound for the ceremony, cocktail hour, full dinner and reception, and our grand exit. He was open to all our suggestions; and he brought up things to decide that we hadn't even considered! During the wedding, Nick made sure to check in with us personally and made sure we were well taken care of. I highly recommend party pleasers for the large selection of rentals, lighting, and their amazing DJs -especially Nick! Lastly, Nick was an amazing "game show host" for our scavenger hunt - we made sure the musical chairs were ready, mc'd the entire hunt, and played a different song for each item! The music was amazing - he played all of our must haves, followed our do-not-play list, and had some amazing early 2000s hip-hop mixes.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.8 (100 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Portsmouth, OH

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were nervous about doing our own flowers, but Flower Moxie made the whole process simple. The owner texted me right after delivery to check in and answer any questions, which gave us peace of mind. The flowers arrived on Thursday looking vibrant and healthy, and they stayed that way through our Sunday wedding. The step-by-step instructions and bouquet recipes took away the guesswork, making it totally doable even for first-timers like us. Best of all, we had gorgeous real flowers without spending a fortune. Highly recommend if you want to save money without sacrificing quality.

“Our photographer really took the time to connect with us, and we found that we shared a lot of common interests! She made us feel very comfortable, and completely followed our desires for candid and more relaxed photos. She was amazing at posing and directing us, as well as going with the flow and capturing what was happening in the moment. We couldn’t be more happy! We love all of the photos taken outside- our couples, wedding party, and golden hour photos feel so genuine and organic and I think that’s what our photographer really excelled in. Our golden hour photos specifically are very romantic and magical- definitely our favorites! I cannot give enough praise to the level of communication given during the planning process. Wedding planning is hard and it gets tricky to keep track of everything. From Darcy at the start getting us booked to Hannah throughout the planning process, I was so grateful for the texts and emails keeping me updated and on track. I am very grateful to have found OLAS, and have already recommended them to my friends getting married next year.”

Have you ever been in a high stress situation and thought yourself man I wish I just had somebody that could read my mind and handle it for me? Well, that is exactly what it feels like to have Connie as your coordinator. I first hired Connie in January 2025 and I was not married until December 31 of 2025 throughout the entire process not only was Connie professional, but she asked so many questions that I had never even thought of. She had numerous family obligations and a very stressful personal life. However, I had no idea any of it was going on because that is how professional she remained on our calls. When it came to wedding set up Connie showed up and knew exactly where everything went. She never asked me a single question unless it was for pertinent information and she truly made my vision come to life. She was kind to all of my family members which I think is so important especially on a day as big as that, and she did everything in a timely, discreet manner. As the bride, I had no idea if something did or did not go right on my wedding day because I never had to deal with it nor was I told about it. Connie truly is a mind reader and was able to make the entire day go smoothly. Hiring Connie is not a want for your wedding day. It is an absolute need. I can sit here a week after I am married and say with a confident face that she is truly the reason why my day was able to go so smooth. I got numerous compliments on how well it was set up and how well it was ran, and this was all due to Connie. My entire family is thankful for her. Sincerely, A 2025 bride

From our first conversation through the big day, they answered every question right away and gave us exactly what we needed to feel confident in our choice. They learned special songs for us and kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Each band member is so talented, and the value we got for the price was incredible. We still get compliments from our guests about how good the band was. We would absolutely book them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a band that knows how to throw a party.

Hi, I’m Jovan Kiah — a wedding and portrait photographer based just outside Indianapolis. I’m your personal hype woman, passionate about capturing vibrant, true-to-color moments that feel like you. From big milestones to everyday magic, I’m here to freeze time in a way that’s real, timeless, and joy-filled. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m soaking up motherhood, planning game nights, or enjoying something sweet—because life’s too short not to.

It’s hard to put into words just how amazing our experience with Jovan was! From the start, she took the time to truly listen to our vision and understand our story. We wanted our engagement photos to capture our love story in bloom among the spring tulips, and she brought that vision to life more beautifully than we could have imagined. When we ran into a last-minute hiccup with our original location, Jovan immediately jumped in with alternative suggestions, and we are so grateful she did. The setting ended up being perfect—better than the original location, and the way she tells a story through her photography is simply incredible. Every image captured not just how we looked, but how we felt in that moment. Beyond her talent, Jovan is so fun (lots of laughs), engaging, and easy to work with. She made the entire experience feel natural and memorable. There is truly no one better to trust with your most important moments. We absolutely love our engagement photos and are even more excited for Jovan to photograph our wedding next year! Thank you, Jovan, for capturing this special season of our lives so perfectly. We couldn't be more grateful!
