DIANA & KEITH "Our Destination Wedding"

My new wife and I had a great wedding day due mostly to the ability of our vendors. Being both from out-of-state, my wife from Florida and I from California, a lot of planning had to take place in order for our special day to happen. Since both of us were originally from the Cleveland area, we thought it easiest to bring the wedding to the family instead of the family to the wedding. It’s pretty funny how people travel to both California and Florida to have their dream “Destination” wedding and we traveled from those places to have ours in Cleveland. We must really love our family and friends.

Planning from out-of-state was quit the challenge. Coordinating our schedule and meeting with all the vendors to pick the best of the best, seemed to be impossible. A lot of our final picks were based on our experience and recommendations. When we finally completed this we knew we had the best team to help us on our wedding day.

Here is our final list of vendors with a little information on each: 

Church:

Assumption

My Uncle is a Deacon there and of course it made working with the church a lot easier. If you’re looking for a very traditionally full mass Catholic Wedding, this is the place. No messing around.

Reception Hall: 

Carrie Cerino’s

The food was phenomenal to say the least. We chose Prime Rib, Chicken Marsala, and Pasta. Carmen Cerino was great to work with, and I didn’t even know he was the owner. Plenty of room to dance, eat, and of course drink at the two bars on each side of the room.

Flowers:

Blossom Shoppe

The owner was great to work with. Looking from the outside, you would never think the place could turn out the product they did. Reasonable prices and awesome quality.

DJ:

Spin Productions

The owner did my sister’s wedding 6 years prior. He set us up with a great DJ who did a fabulous job getting the crowd going. Everybody danced all night.

Photographer:

Michaelangelo’s Photography

Cheryl and Ed are simply awesome. Of all the vendors they were the most fun to work with. We had a limited time set aside for pictures, but they made it happen. They took photos at the Palace Theater, Voinovich Park, Assumption, and the Reception. One unique thing Cheryl did was meet up with my wife in the morning and take pictures of her getting ready with her parents. Really cool. They landed up taking over 1,000 pictures and every one was great. I don’t know how they did it.
