Flowerman was probably the most fun part of our wedding planning. Not only was it incredibly affordable, but the quality was fantastic! We chose the DIY option for the centerpieces and bridesmaid bouquets and they assembled my bouquet because it was a little more complicated. Everything was so beautiful and putting them together the morning before the wedding with all of my important people is one of my favorite memories. I will recommend Flowerman to all the folks in my life getting married soon!

Hi there! I'm Michelle, owner of Glamorous Weddings. I spend so much time with my clients, I like to get to know them better, individually and as a couple. In late December 2009, I started working for an online bridal shop selling wedding gowns, bridesmaids dresses, and accessories. The online side grew and quickly turned into a storefront and an online division. I was able to work hands-on with brides helping them feel beautiful and finding the perfect dress! In 2010 one of my good friends got married. She was expecting family to come in with speakers for the reception but found out a couple of hours beforehand that they weren't coming.

My husband and I chose Michelle at Glamourous Weddings as our wedding planner, and she went above and beyond to make our day perfect! Her attention to detail and ability to bring your vision to life is incredible. I had zero stress leading up to the wedding, knowing she was managing everything for us so we could enjoy the time with our family and friends. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a wedding planner; she's the best!

We got married at the Riverside Eintracht location on 1-3-25. The venue was the perfect location to hold a small, intimate ceremony with immediate family on the stage. Then we opened up the venue to our family and friends for a big Happily Ever After party in the reception area! Everyone had a great time and it was a night to remember for all! John and Harry were amazing to work with. Any question that came up during planning, any requests that were made, anything that I anticipated may be an issue, John and Harry were quick to jump in, assure me all would be okay, and answer questions and become hands on involved in all parts of the wedding and reception. The last thing that a Bride wants when planning a wedding is stress and uncertainty. Working with John and Harry, they made sure this would not be the case. This says a lot as we planned this wedding and Happily Ever After party in about 30 days and everything went off without a worry and it was the best night! The reception hall was big enough to host 175 guests, the bride and bridal party had their own area to get ready prior to the wedding, as well as a grooms area. The caterer was able to use the service drive to easily get in to set up for the buffet meal (shout out to Mrs. B's catering for a wonderful meal although the venue allows you to use any caterer of your choice). We stocked the bar and Harry kept the drinks flowing. John recommended Charlie B as our photographer and he was there to capture all the moments and memories that we may have missed while catching up with our guests. We added the 360 camera which was a huge hit and provided some from videos from the reception. The decorations were tasteful and classy and John was in the heart of it all switching from the wedding to the reception set up. We would recommend Dayton Outdoor Weddings and John and Harry to anyone. We extend a sincere thank you to John, Harry, and Charlie B photography for making our day magical! 24K Magic! :)

I’m Tessa Brediger! I’m twenty-nine, living in Dayton, Ohio at the moment (but always moving thanks to the Air Force), married to my best friend Jake, a mom to the sweetest little boy named Will, and I’m a lover of: a good and smoky single malt Highland scotch, beautiful light, inclusivity, and punk rock (I never moved past my emo phase in high school). I’ve never met a dog I didn’t like. I don’t believe there’s a limit to the amount of pasta you can consume. I quote New Girl and The Good Place way too much. I have a lot of houseplants and always get sucked into buying more because I have no impulse control. I absolutely love, love.

Tessa blew our expectations out of the water! She was an absolute gem on our wedding day! You can tell that photography for Tessa is so much more than a job. She is truly invested in each couple and wants your wedding to day to be everything you wished and more! Tessa was a great planner/communicator before the wedding day. She had a great questionairre that helped us plan the photos we wanted on the day. She was extremely fast to edit our photos! I think we received them one week after our wedding! She also created a montage video of all of our pictures which was the perfect way to show all of our friends and families our wedding photos! I was so impressed with her work. Especially our reception pictures were the best I've probably ever seen (reception photos I feel like are the most difficult to capture but she nailed it!) Our portraits were stunning! The small moments that meant the world to us, she captured. I love Tessa's style and creativity. She is incredibly talented and was amazing to work with! Highly recommended!

A.G. Photography is a wedding and lifestyle photography company located in Dayton, OH. Owner and lead photographer Alex Grodkiewicz is a talented professional that takes joy in capturing life’s precious moments. He crafts evocative images that allow his cherished clients to relive their day again and again for decades to come. A.G. Photography aims to put couples first, honoring their one-of-a-kind love stories throughout every element of their service. Alex draws on over 8 years of rich experience and has served countless clients since starting his business.

We looked at TONS of photographers, and they either had photos that were very heavily saturated in the new brown filter or were 10k. We found AG photography, and we’re over the moon. His portfolio was amazing and the price was very very reasonable. Alex truly did such a phenomenal job capturing the most special day I cannot say enough great things. He took the time to understand what I was looking for in a photographer and matched the style we were looking for. Our photographer was the last thing we were ever worried about, we knew we were in great hands with Alex. We left right after our reception to go to our honey moon, and by the time we had landed, Alex sent me 4 “teaser” pics. He met with me before hand to get a timeline and anything specific we were looking bc to have photographed making the day so seamless. When we got the whole album back (less than 2 WEEKS!!!) there was not one thing I wished was different. He truly has a talent for what he does and he was such a key component in our day and just made it so stress free. We will forever cherish the photos he took. I could go on and on about how fantastic and how over joyed I am with the outcome. We had a second photographer we booked with Alex, Josh, and he was just as equally amazing. He stayed with the guys a majority of the day, and my husband said he was amazing and so kind. I would not have trusted anyone else with my wedding, and if I had to do it all over again, Alex would be the first vendor I would book. I recommend him to all of our friends and anyone who will listen. Truly remarkable Alex, thank you for everything.

But over the last 10 years, we have worked to clean it out, restore all of its services, and renovate it to become Dayton's newest music & event venue. It has been a long and difficult road, so we are thrilled to be at this point in the story. We invite you to stop in and introduce yourself soon; we truly look forward to welcoming you!

I’m Amy I am the passionate heart and soul behind Glass and Grace Events. Since I was a young girl, I always lived for planning birthday parties and hosting friends. I have also always been obsessed with weddings – down to Father of the Bride being my favorite movie since first grade. Growing up, my aunt even lovingly referred to me as “Franck” the wedding planner in Father of the Bride. Naturally, as I grew older, combining my two loves: parties and weddings seemed like the perfect combination. My wedding planning career started at the very beginning of my college, working as an Associate Planner alongside an amazing planner in Cincinnati.

Working with Glass and Grace Events was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The owner, Amy, was always available for me whenever I had a question or needed guidance throughout the planning process. I couldn't have asked for anything else when it came to the quality of their work and the value they provided - Amy and her team went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect in every way. From the thoughtful decor touches to their seamless coordination, they truly made our special day unforgettable. For way more details on my experience, please refer to my full Google review.

Want a reception that is different, organized, & fun? Brian is the only Dayton DJ that offers a unique Love Story presentation to personalize your celebration! How about a supercharged grand entrance? Brian will serve as your MC, and then actually MIX your dance music like a club DJ. For planning, Brian provides you with your own planning portal to fill out simple planning forms & create music playlists, with a Spotify integration to prepare things for your planning meeting which will take place 6 weeks out from your wedding in order to create your reception timeline & more! On wedding day, you can just relax & be a guest at your own wedding!

Brian is a true professional, it was important for us to find a DJ/MC that would provide us with a perfect day with little stress or worry, and he was able to help make our wedding dreams come true! Brian is very professional, organized, and enthusiastic about his work. His organization prior to booking with him was impressive; during the planning process he was very easy to get in touch with when we had questions. This was noteworthy on the week leading up to our wedding- on the morning of our wedding, he was easily reachable to make some last minute changes. Brian utilizes an online planning portal which enabled us to convey to him our playlist, special requests, and stories. Brian’s vast library of songs is viewable and interactive making it easy to add and change songs on your list, as well as providing possibilities and suggestions for activities and games during the wedding to help engage your guests. Depending on the ideas that you choose, there is a lot of time and effort to be put forth by the couple, but very worth it! You can add any song you like to your wedding playlist; when we were picking our playlist for the ceremony and reception we had several choices that were not on his list. Brian was quickly able to add good quality music files to meet our requests. Brian is also great working on the fly: our ceremony was outside in the middle of August and the weather was looking iffy. Brian was prepared to change plans quickly if needed, though luckily we were able to continue with our outdoor ceremony- despite a little sprinkle. Brian was very organized and kept the guests energized the whole night. He took responsibility of keeping a schedule we had prepared with him and we didn’t have to worry about a thing; he really helped keep our minds at ease! In reality, he kept us relaxed throughout the entire planning process for that matter. We cannot give a big enough recommendation for what Brian truly deserves! WE THANK YOU BRIAN!! - Grace & Tom

Hello! I'm Cassandra and my journey into the world of weddings was ignited when I embarked on planning my very own special day. This experience kindled a deep passion for weddings, and it's one of the driving forces behind my profession. I'm wholeheartedly committed to ensuring that each of my couples has their precious moments meticulously captured, preserving memories that will endure for years to come. My purpose is to authentically narrate your unique love story, exactly as it unfolds.

Cassandra was so easy to talk to from the first phone call to the last phone call prior to our wedding. She answered all of our questions and helped us create a timeline unique to us. She captured beautiful candid moments we will treasure for a lifetime! When our day was off schedule, she helped calm the chaos and helped us get every picture we wanted. She was truly there for us for everything we needed, and we are so grateful for her!
