Thank you to our incredible clients, staff, and the community for your continued support that has been the driving force behind our growth. Here's to many more years of creating incredible events! 🥂 #businessanniversary #weddingplanner #clevelandevents #eventplanner #womeninbusiness #womenowned #weddingvendor #appreciation

To say that Haley + Chris’ wedding was a blast is the understatement of the century. When a wedding vendor (especially one as creative and talented as @bycenza ) trusts you with their day, it means the world. From drag queens to tattoos to a surprise ceremony, this night was packed with energy - as you can see! More of this in 2026 please!

No one plans for a city-wide blackout. But we do plan for the unexpected. When the original welcome party venue for Nicole and Gary lost power, our team shifted into problem-solving mode. New plan, new logistics, same energy. And somehow, those are always the events people remember most.

Some planners chase “timeless”. We chase the idea no one’s done yet. The unconventional layout. The unexpected color story. The detail that makes guests stop mid-sentence. We love the challenge of creating weddings that feel entirely their own - because the best events aren’t copied, they’re discovered.

So you want a vintage romantic dinner party with a surprise disco dance floor? Bet! Anna and Ethan’s wedding combined aesthetics by creating a whole separate space for the party to continue. Every detail was thoughtful, intentional and cool - just like our couple.

Travel lovers N+H really wanted to honor their journey with their signage, and this, one-of-a-kind postcard seating chart was the perfect fit! ✉️🌍 While a mid-install shattering incident kept us on our toes, a fully stocked emergency kit and a calm team ensured the display was absolutely perfect for their guests when cocktail hour came around. This is what working with a full service planning team is all about.🤍 Planning + Design: @engagedwithnora Photography: @emilymillayphotography Videography: @blitzstudios_weddings Venue: @hyattregencycleveland Floral: @mollytaylorandco Ceremony Music: @opus216 Entertainment: @igotrocked Dancefloor: @limelightsentertain Specialty Rentals: @borrow_curated Chair Rentals: @weddingchairsdotnet Linens: @lniquelinens Signage: @ewnstudio Dessert: @wildflourbakeryoh @eurosweets.wsm Dress: @kleinfeldbridal Tux: @rothmansnyc Hair + Makeup: @manechic.us Audio Guestbook: @afterthetone.co #clevelandweddings #downtownwedding #eventdesign #weddingbts #artdecowedding

SET & SETTING. Choosing the location you get ready in for your wedding is one of the most important decisions you can make. It sets the whole mood for your day and is the background of so many important moments. We are so proud to have a Michelin Key Hotel in Cleveland and couldn’t wait to get our hands on styling their spaces! Cheers to many more mornings spent in this suite!
