My fiance and I had gone back and forth on the idea of using a close friend or relative for our…read morewedding officiant but after having our wedding I am SO glad we decided to go with a professional and more importantly, Megan! She is detail oriented, professional, personable, authentic and has a wonderful personality. People kept telling me before the wedding that things will go wrong on the day of your wedding but Megan was not going to let that happen for the ceremony. When I arrived at the venue Megan had pulled me aside with concerns around the ceremony stage as our flowers were placed with little room left for my wedding dress train. She took control, consulted a friend and already had a solution in place to moved the arrangements around *THIS is what going above and beyond looks like and it doesn't stop there. The florist was waiting for the rest of the wedding party to arrive so they could place the boutonnieres and hand out the corsages but Megan could sense the florist was a bit overwhelmed and jumped right in taking charge letting the florist know it would be no hassle at all for her to take the flowers and pass out/pin herself. During our family portraits Megan had found my husband and I to deliver us our specialty cocktails (which were much needed at this point haha). There are so many other small details I am missing from the phone meetings, vow review beforehand, handling our very loud wedding party during rehearsal and before the wedding ceremony. As for the most important part of the day... the ceremony. The words she read really hit home when you are standing up there ready to say I do and she spoke with such grace it was absolutely beautiful. IF you are between officiants this is YOUR review telling you to book Megan. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being there for us in every way on our special day!

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Megan is extremely responsive, communicates well, and…read moremost importantly gets the job done tailored to each couple's unique needs. We had our main wedding ceremony out of state but mistakenly realized that we needed our marriage license completed by an officiant registered in state, and the courthouse ceremony process is time consuming (requiring an in person appearance to even make the appt, and then only offering times that are during a typical workday to conduct these ceremonies). Megan was able to perform our ceremony very efficiently knowing that we did not want a lengthy process (and were already wedded). We completed the entire condensed ceremony and papers hassle-free and in one sitting. She charges a really competitive price as well (the best I found after inquiring multiple officiants on Yelp). I would highly recommend her if you and your partner are stuck in a tricky situation like ours! Thank you Megan!!!

It's unfortunate to have to write a poor review; however, we are extremely disappointed in this…read morebusiness. We had no other choice but to cancel our wedding due to COVID-19 and Diamond would not work with us in returning any part of our deposit. Instead, they tried to tell us they were being kind by waiving the full amount due because they mistakenly thought we did not cancel within 60 days, when in fact, we actually reached out to them in March. This was well before 60 days of the event, which would have taken place in mid-June. In addition, we live out of state, which makes it difficult for us to reschedule a big event like this, especially in a time of such uncertainty. We understand contracts; however, Diamond was our only vendor who would not work with us in returning any part of our deposit, and to make matters worse, used incorrect information to make it look as though they've done us a favor. We felt quite insulted.

She was amazing and added so much to the shower experience. Virtual guests received the most lovely boxes in the mail with small items to set out at shower time and help them feel like they were really included in the event. She added so many touching things to the shower format that were more than just fun games. People had time to offer advice and share there love for my daughter and husband. I have done a virtual shower by myself before and it was such a treat to have someone else manage the tech or virtual guests so that I could enjoy the shower myself. Sometimes, picking out a business online can make one nervous, and I felt a bit that way when I first contacted her, but once you meet her you will sense her reliability and creativity. Pricing was fair and there were no issues with payments. I whole heartedly endorse this business. You will not be diappointed. Thank you for all Kellie!!

Ramez's kitchen is varied to please all tastes but is based upon authentic old-world ethnic cooking, blended with modern American fusion roots. This place is one of the few event centers in the Greater Cleveland Area that can accommodate all event sizes. I have attended small-ish executive/leadership dinners and family birthdays to very large multi-room corporate and community organizational events, featuring some of the largest ballrooms in Cleveland.
