I truly hate having to leave a negative review, especially when it involves such a personal and…read moremeaningful day -- our wedding. But I feel it's important to share our experience so other couples can go into their planning process informed. We hired Platinum Photography with the expectation -- and contractual agreement -- that we would receive retouched digital images, a custom wooden USB, and a physical 8x10 album. Unfortunately, the process from start to finish was filled with delays, broken promises, and poor communication. What followed was a frustrating string of extended deadlines, vague updates, and inconsistent messaging. The USB was only ordered months after the wedding -- after we followed up repeatedly -- and the album was denied, then later reluctantly agreed to after I pushed back and quoted the actual contract. The editing was also incomplete, with clear inconsistencies in the photos we received, and promises made about corrections (such as under-eye editing) were not fulfilled until pointed out directly. At one point, I was even offered a partial refund on the condition that I remove my review and forfeit the remaining items -- an incredibly unprofessional request. I was also wrongly accused of breaching the contract for making light personal edits to a few photos, despite the contract allowing for personal use (albums, scrapbooks, gifts, etc.). It's not that the photographer was rude or mean -- they were always polite. But it felt like a constant bait-and-switch, with excuse after excuse and very little accountability. As a busy mom of two, I simply didn't have the time or energy to chase down what should have been handled with care and professionalism. After months of back and forth, the album and USB are finally in progress, but I would never recommend this experience to another bride. Your wedding memories deserve more than constant follow-up, shifting stories, and delayed promises. Do your research, get everything in writing, and don't be afraid to advocate for yourself.

This space is a cute little location to get some work done on your laptop. Your first visit is complimentary (free) so that you can experience how it would be to work here. I first visited on Wednesday, August 18th, 2021 for a private volunteer activity with the Beauty Boost group. I was given a tour by the owner Maureen who shared with me her vision of expanding the space in the near future. She is excited to have some future offerings here at the CoLab. I visited again a month later on Thursday, September 16th for another private event, a Women Wonderland panel discussion. SPACE -- The interior has one large room with tables and chairs and about 2 private smaller rooms for taking phone calls. Wifi (internet) is included. There are different membership packages too because you need to pay to use this space. If you work from home or need a day out of your office, then I recommend the Co-Lab. Complimentary tea, coffee, and snacks are available for you in the kitchen as you work. I can't wait to come here again but instead of attending an event, actually sit and work. **** - 52/100 total reviews in 2021 - 472 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 30 September 2021

Maureen and Rachel worked very hard to make sure that everything was organized and tailored to meet our needs, from the first meeting through the reception. Our wedding was truly customized to be exactly what we dreamed of. The CoLab and Lounge spaces are both visually stunning, making for many Instagram-worthy photos. (And we didn't have to spend a ton on additional decorations!) I loved the soft look and feel of the CoLab for our ceremony and dessert table, contrasted with the speak-easy style of the Lounge where we had the bar and dancing. And we were able to have it all without asking our guests to relocate between the ceremony and reception! I'm so glad that Lakewood has this beautiful space for special occasions, and we will definitely be coming back the next time we have an event. Thank you so much!!

Even I had fun as we navigated the huge space with many different selfie stations. Coco greeted us when we arrived, and she first gave us a tour of the facility then set us on our way to take our selfies. We spent about 45 minutes in the facility and left with hundreds of cool photos. The admission fee is a bit high, but with the philanthropy work Coco does, I looked at it as a donation to help Coco's mission of giving back to the community. Looking for a fun activity with the family? Coco's is it.

For anyone who has made that decision in the past, you know what I'm talking about...Not a good decision! Then I found Ryan Layman and Ohio DJ Pros! He and his crew are SPOT ON, EVERY TIME! While some companies simply play music, Ohio DJ Pros are true masters of ceremony! Their timeliness, enthusiasm, and overall professionalism is unsurpassed! With almost any scenario where a DJ is needed, you won't get a second chance! Do it right the first time! Don't be cheap. Don't make a decision you will regret forever, as memories are worth more than anything else we have in the end.

I visited two times within the same week and loved how each event really personalized the space and made it their own. This is perfect for corporate or creative events.

The bartenders at Market Garden are always on point and friendly. The space is also super easy to get to. There a huge parking lot behind Market Garden and an elevator to get upstairs if needed.

The views are immaculate - the Westside Market and W 25th. The rooftop has a bar area, tables, and benches. There are various tropical vibes - aquamarine hues, white vacay looking furniture, tropical plants, and gorgeous blue canopy/overhang. The decor has gorgeous juxtaposition with brick walls of the building. It's just gorgeous. You have to visit and take a million pictures. I felt like I was on the mini vacation. While this destination is on the rooftop, it also offers considerable amount of privacy. For instance, while walking up to the building, I wasn't able to see or hear the event I was attending. It's a big plus to have this privacy yet view the surrounding landmarks. As far as getting up there, find the door directly across from the entrance. Go up a few flights of stairs and arrive at the Canopy. The rooftop bar and event venue is only available for private events. I visited this location for a yoga class with Bottoms Up Yoga & Brew. There will be another class here in July (find it on Eventbrite). I really enjoyed the yoga class here. It accommodated our small group very well and we went for brews downstairs to the Market Garden Brewery right after. All of us were very impressed with this rooftop. I hope to be back soon for more events! Check out their contact info on the Market Garden Brewery website!

Upon arrival the place looks like a mom and pop small business. Nothing special about the ambience just equipment and one staff person. The line up of materials on the counter told me they were busy but when I was told it would be a few weeks till my vhs to disc transfers were done I was disappointed. As I had hoped to have them back by Mother's Day. I was asked what I would like as the titles of the discs and was asked for a $30 deposit and went on my way. Follow up came at almost the 3 week mark. Pick up tines were recommended, not sure if they keep consistent hours so always ask or call ahead. I had my husband drop off another tape upon pick up and that one turned around in about a week so I suspect it is all volume driven, again call ahead and ask if you are in a rush. All in all happy with my service, would use them again.
