Recommended Wedding Vendors
Need Help Finding Venders?
Do you need help finding the right Venues, DJ's, Photographers, Limo's or other vendors? If so we can help. American Ministries handles more weddings than anyone in Ohio, even more than the local courts. We see countless vendors and venues who we know to be not outrageously expensive and who are professional. We listened to thousands of our couples who tell us what they think and we have put together a list based on just who seem to be very good at what they do, what they have to offer for the price and who are not to costly to afford. And FYI, at the time we posted this, they didn't know we were searching for good vendor's nor did they know we picked them. With that in mind, let them know we think their great and we sent you.
Our Recommended vendor's :
Our DJ pick:
We're looking at a couple of them and will update our DJ pick soon. Sometimes we have posted companies and they get to many calls and ask to be removed until they can catch up, or just can not handle that many referrals, and others get removed if we hear any complaints from our couples. We will be adding another DJ service soon.
Our Photographer pick:
Bruce Ellingsen Photography.
Our Officiants have seen him at countless weddings and always thought he was very professional and our couples have said the same. When asked how much he charged, we were stunned to learn he is very inexpensive. At only $400
for up to 6 hours, OR just $100
to take photo's of your ceremony for an hour at either of our wedding chapels. You can't go wrong with Bruce Ellingsen Photography. Contact them at 614-302-4216.
Our Venue Pick:
The Venice Club
This one was a easy pick. Several of our Officiants have been here and we were very impressed with not only the prices our couples said they were paying but this venue has it all. For the low cost of this venue you not only have the venue but, a playground area for the kids, fishing, Volleyball, Horse Shoes, fire pits and even a basket ball court. All included and don't forget the outside Gazebo. WOW, BUT WAIT! it gets better, The Venice club also welcomes your own catering and food at no extra charge, and they also have all sort of rentals like bounce houses etc that you can rent extra, and as if that wasn't enough, The venue is in a quiet area away from the busy roads in a wooded setting yet conveniently located off Sunbury road. You can contact them at :
614-471-3628 or https://www.facebook.com/Venice-Club-109465452450818
If your interested in the bounce houses or other entertainment items, go to Cool Cat Sites Entertainment at http://www.coolcatsites.com/ ORhttps://www.facebook.com/coolcatsitesentertainment/ or better yet just give them a call at (614) 471-3628
If you require a much bigger venue, just let us know and we will help you determine the best one for your needs.
Our Wedding Chapel or Wedding Officiant pick:
That would be us :) Why?
:) Our large Grand Wedding Chapel in Columbus is the lowest cost wedding chapel for the number of guests and the largest in door dedicated wedding chapel in Columbus. The Grand Chapel is also the only one that has free parking for all guests and over 150 cars and we don't charge extra fees when you use your own photographers or want services like unity candle or sand ceremonies.
Our Wedding Officiants officiate Weddings anywhere in the United States. No kidding, outside of Ohio we may get expensive. In Ohio we have very low fee's and charge by county. But we do get calls to send Officiants to New York, Michigan and Pennsylvania and West Virginia often.
Our Hair Salon pick:
Possibilities Salon.
Possibilities Salon is perfect for your hair needs, why? Because they're right here in our building in a private space beside our Grand Chapel. That's as easy as it gets. You can get your hair done and walk out of the salon and right in to our Grand Chapel in the next room for your beautiful wedding entrance. The Stylist will have you in a private area so you are out of site until you're ready for your grand entrance. Be sure to ask for Kim and tell her we sent you so she can get you set up for your wedding date. Give them a call at 614-396-6830 or call Kim direct at 614-370-1587
Our Barber Shop Pick:
A Good Barber
A Good Barber shop is also located right in our building right next to our first floor chapel. With two barbers they can give you a cut that looks great and that you'll love, and they're super nice people. You can reach them in our building in suite 110 or give Dee a call at (614) 332-1255. Tell them you found them through the wedding chapel so they know we sent you.
