PCB Manufacturers
They can produce the PCBs that you designed with Fritzing. These are some manufacturers known to work well with the designers or DIY community. They provide helpful services and have low prices on low quantities. However, PCB manufacturers usually do not assemble your boards!

PCB Assemblers
Anyone have a recommendation? Otherwise just learn how to solder.
Electronic Parts Suppliers
The main international suppliers with extensive catalogues are Bürklin, Conrad, Digi-Key, Farnell, Futurlec, Mouser, and RS. Ultimately, it would be helpful to generate order lists for these directly from your Fritzing circuit design.
See also the listings at Arduino Playground, OpenCircuits, or try out the new meta-catalogue search engine Octopart.
