  • DJ
  • Starts at $799
  • Serves Symmes, OH

This business was thought of after years of being a club DJ, and Jen, the behind the scenes part of the business, begged Tyler, the talent, to try out the wedding scene. We exploded, and we’ve been fully invested in the wedding business ever since!

White Wedding DJ Services was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. They had great communication, especially when it came to last minute changes that came up. Tyler was able to seamlessly flow with the changes and delivered a high-quality performance. The Cloud FX experience they provided was amazing, and he was very friendly and personable throughout the night. We were thrilled with the value they provided and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

We loved The Spot! We had our wedding reception there in August. We has 185 guests attend, and the space was perfect size for it! The dance floor is huge, and you can have up to two bars including one big one! The location is perfect - we had out of town guests stay in hotels one block away and a lot of people walked to The Banks bars after the reception! Another great aspect is they let you bring in your own catering/alcohol, which gives a lot of flexibility (and isn’t as hard as you’d think to coordinate).

Since we were planning from out of town, we were concerned about coordinating everything from afar, but she kept us informed every step of the way and truly made us feel at ease. Every detail came together perfectly, and the day was everything we dreamed of.

Emily is absolutely incredible! From the very start of the wedding planning process to the big day itself, she went above and beyond to make everything seamless and stress-free. She was always available to bounce ideas off of and provided so much valuable insight. Whether it was creating the perfect timeline, coordinating with all our vendors, or helping me elevate our table decor with creative ideas, Emily’s expertise was evident every step of the way. Her support extended beyond the planning process—she was a tremendous help at our rehearsal dinner and took charge of running the wedding day flawlessly. She and her assistant set up the entire ceremony and reception space exactly how I envisioned it, down to the smallest detail. I was so particular about placement, and they followed everything to perfection. The result was absolutely stunning! Any issues that arose on the wedding day were handled so efficiently that I didn’t even know about them until afterward. Emily’s calm presence and ability to manage everything truly put me at ease. And as a thoughtful surprise, a day or two after the wedding, she sent me behind-the-scenes photos and videos that she captured throughout the day—it was such a special and unexpected gift! Emily is not only an incredibly talented coordinator but also one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. I can’t imagine what our wedding day would have been like without her.

Let me share a bit about my journey in the wedding industry. With two decades of experience, I've had the privilege of working with some of the top DJ companies in the area.

Notably, I take pride in being the only single-op, black-owned DJ vendor with this honor.

From the beginning, their DJ was easy to communicate with, coordinated seamlessly, and made sure we were in sync for key moments, allowing us to capture every special memory smoothly. Their music selection was spot-on and truly set the mood for each part of the event. They read the crowd perfectly and kept the energy high, making sure the dance floor was packed and guests were having an amazing time. Their setup was well-organized and unobtrusive, blending into the event atmosphere while delivering top-notch sound quality. I can confidently say that Sutle Productions offers excellent service and is dedicated to making each couple’s big day a memorable one.

Right Here Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Symmes, OH

For over 14 years, I’ve been one of the lucky ones who gets to have my passion also be my profession. Under the big skies of Wichita, Kansas, where I was born and raised, I bought my first DSLR camera in 2008 and was hooked for life. Then I landed a job with a national portrait studio and was suddenly getting paid to do what I loved. My love for the craft took me to several cities as a regional manager, and eventually landed me here in Cincinnati. Though I moved on from that job, Cincinnati sunk its claws into me for good. I, my wife Katie, and our four (or more depending on when you ask) beloved cats now call the Queen City home.

I would highly recommend these two! Our original wedding photographer bailed on us the day of the wedding. Right Here Photography came out to Colorado and offered to redo our wedding photos. It was a wonderful and stress free photo shoot. They researched our area to come up with a list of places to shoot. They drafted the entire schedule from what time to leave to get to each location, time we had in good sunlight, traffic, and how long we could spend in each place. Though the schedule was very detailed, it was flexible and they ensured us we did not feel like we had to stick to it. I had a blast that day. It was so nice to have a stress free wedding shoot outside of our wedding day, knowing we did not have a timeline to stick to or guests to worry about. They made me feel so special and beautiful that day. We were able to relax and have fun which made the photos that much more special. Each picture turned out stunning and was linked to a memory of how enjoyable that day was. I would 10 out of 10 recommend them!

I didn’t have my heart set on any style, but I knew I could trust her to create something beautiful! She is so easy to talk to and plan with. If she is within your budget and has your date available you need to snag her!!! You won’t regret it

Your wedding should be a stress-free and joyous celebration! And to capture all the love and life and happiness, your photographer should be focused on the emotions of the day, not only the pretty centerpieces. At Mischief and Laughs Photography, we believe that the important things aren’t the things at the wedding, but the people – your families, your friends, and most importantly the person you are about to marry. We carry this love for love into every wedding we photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Mischief and Laughs Photography was wonderful. Cara was very responsive and easy to work with, leading up to and on the day of the wedding. She was extremely professional and went above and beyond in working with us. The ceremony and bridal party pictures are absolutely beautiful, but I think where the photos really shine are the wonderful little moments of the day that she captured. Neither my husband nor I are big on staged photos so we wanted a photographer who would get those in-the-moment shots. I am so happy with all of the pictures from the after-dinner cigars on the outside patio and of our friends and family on the dance floor. If you want someone who can truly capture the celebration, you need to book Mischief and Laughs for your wedding.

The Backstage Event Center was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, the staff was friendly, helpful, and responsive, making the planning process stress-free. Prior to the wedding they worked with us to plan the order of events and helped us plan our vision for decorations. On the day of, they executed our vision flawlessly and made the set up and rehearsal process so easy. Elenya and her team even improvised when we lost the cord to our neon name sign before drop off and they searched everywhere until they found a backup. The Backstage's combination of stunning exposed brick, warm lighting, and flexible layout allowed us to create the perfect ambiance for our special day. The celebration was perfect from start to finish and everyone was on the floor dancing all night. The entire time the event team was there to help, and they even boxed all of our decorations up for an easy pick up the next day. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to bring our wedding dreams to life.

Hi there! I'm so glad you found me on this little corner of the internet. My name is Taylor, and I'm a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Cincinnati, Ohio. But I do love to travel and will go anywhere! I'm your golden sun, chasing love, wine night having, pizza eating, dog loving, crazy mess behind the camera. I started this journey of mine in 2019, and fell in love with the ability to tell someone's story in photos. I strive to tell your story in these memories, by putting my full heart into it each time. So when you look at them you are brought right back to that moment in the years to come.

Taylor is not only an incredible photographer, but an incredible person! From the very first time i spoke to Taylor on the phone, we instantly clicked. She immediately met all of my needs and expectations that I had for my engagement and wedding photos. She was also willing to do anything to make us happy. Not only was she our photographer, but worked actively as a “day of coordinator”. She spent the entire day helping me relieve stress, and serve as my personal hype woman. I seriously could not picture our special day without Taylor in it. Not only did we love her, but our bridal party loved her as well. Her work is incredible and you will not regret booking with her!

Our team of wedding experts will work with you and our preferred wedding professionals to design the wedding of your dreams. From flowers to linens, lighting to wrapped dance floors, and signs to custom pieces, our dream team will work with you to determine the best look for you based on your style, budget and personality. We only accept one couple per weekend and plan a maximum of 12 weddings per year to ensure personalized customer service and attention to detail with our couples.

This is going to be a long one, but Kathy is SO worth it! Kathy and I first met during one of many rough times in my life. I had just lost two wedding venues (one closed and one gave our date away) and had just had arm surgery (which I was awake for and it didn't go great, so I was very traumatized at the time) and I was running late trying to parallel park my car with one arm. I remember Kathy calling and me crying on the phone saying how I was struggling to park and Kathy offered to park the car for me. The moment she whipped that car into its spot, I knew she was the one for me. I have numerous health issues and trying to explain my dream wedding and how those issues fit into it, as well as all the normal overwhelming aspects of wedding planning, seemed daunting to explain to a stranger, but Kathy really understood. She got it. Meeting Kathy was one of the best things that ever happened to me honestly. She not only got my wedding back on track, but became one of my closest friends and confidants. Kathy helped me find the most amazing vendors, from the photographer to the DJ, and averted so many crises, from helping find someone to rescue my dress the day before the wedding after the alterationist didn't finish it (but said he did, amongst other issues) to making the random "bubble guy" disappear (apparently people follow wedding parties now and literally stalk you to the church and then offer to blow bubbles for photos for money, but he wouldn't leave after we said no until Kathy stepped in) and everything in between. If you are the person that crazy, random stuff happens to all the time and you really need someone who is at the top of their game, I cannot recommend Kathy enough. If you are looking for someone who will be a friend and a confidant, a protector and manager and emotional support through a challenging part of your life, I recommend Kathy. If you are looking for someone who is a genuinely kind and happy person who will make you feel safe and better about yourself after every conversation you have with them, I recommend Kathy. Kathy, thank you, truly from the bottom of my heart, for making it Our Dream Day! We love you!

Hello! My name is Christian. I'm an artist. Whether camera shy or not, my couples and their friends or family have a great time with me and I make the experience pretty easy and enjoyable since I'm an awesome director. It has taken me a lot of studying, practice and natural talent to get to where I am today. I've documented over 600 weddings leaving many happy clients in many different areas of the world.

My fiancé and I hired this company for both our photo and video services, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. The photos were stunning, with a polished, magazine-worthy quality that felt like something out of a celebrity shoot. The video was equally impressive—fun, engaging, and expertly crafted. From start to finish, we felt completely at ease on our wedding day. Communication was seamless throughout the planning process, and they were by far the fastest responding vendor we worked with. The team was punctual, reliable, and incredibly easygoing. They made everything feel effortless and were always understanding and flexible, never demanding. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Trained with Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, L'Oreal, MAC, and more, her portfolio includes national and local publications, commercials, reality shows, and celebrities.

Chenese leverages her production experience to ensure bridal makeup translates beautifully in person and in photography and video, delivering flawless results for weddings and special events.

I booked Chenese for my wedding makeup based on her great reviews and amazing work and I am so glad I did. My wedding was planned in 2 months and she was able to easily schedule me for my run through and wedding makeup. She was available to speak to me and answer questions leading up to my run through appointment. She was extremely thorough in her questions and professional at all times during the makeup run through. She asked thoughtful questions and made me really hone in on what I wanted. It was a smooth and easy process. On the day of my wedding she was on time and very helpful. And her work was beautiful! I got compliments all night and wore my makeup long into the night, with it looking just as she first did it. I was so pleased with how I looked on my wedding day thanks to Chenese - I truly felt like a princess. She also did wonderful work on my mother who is in her 60s and she made sure her makeup looked appropriate to her age. I also found out afterwards that she also did several of my cousins makeup for their weddings! I have found my makeup artist here in Cincinnati!
