Ahead of time, I worked with Bridgett and she was so helpful with bringing together my vision and lining up all the flowers and plants I would need. The DIY session was such a fun activity to do with my bridesmaids! We had a ton of fun and the coach was so helpful teaching us how to prep the flowers and make things like boutonnieres. Everything turned out absolutely beautiful, too! I felt like the team really worked to keep the flowers in my budget and had so many options so we could do as much or as little as we wanted in terms of our involvement with arranging, delivering, etc.

Madilyn was an excellent photographer for our wedding in May 2026. She was very easy to work with and got us excited to document our big day. We had a few calls with her during our planning process which made us feel super secure. She is very organized and made sure we were on schedule especially with family photos. With our timeline she knew where to schedule extra time so we did not feel rushed at all. The photos were stunning! She coached us through different poses so that we didn’t feel awkward or just standing around. Our engagement session with her felt so fun like we were just hanging out with a friend. She was super responsive with communication and was just an overall wonderful human being. We would absolutely recommend Madilyn to anyone getting married in the central Ohio area!

Glamorous Weddings 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
Dayton, OH
  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $2,000

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.

Glamorous Weddings helped plan and coordinate my wedding. I could not imagine the day without Michelle. She truly made it perfect. I knew when I got engaged, I wanted to hire a coordinator to help execute the wedding day. Michelle does so much more. From the moment we started talking she started helping deal with planning tasks and making me think of many things I had not thought of. She had an answer to every question I had and many I would have never thought of. Throughout the whole planning process I always felt that I had someone I could go to and no question was deemed unimportant. Our rehearsal went so smoothly and everyone knew what to expect the day of. Michelle took much of the stress of wedding planning out of the planning. From the useful planning tools she provides to the very detailed timeline, everything is thought of. The day of the wedding, Michelle made sure that the bridal party and our family had absolutely nothing to worry about. She executed our vision perfectly for the decor. I walked out and saw our reception area and was stunned! The day was truly perfect down to the last detail and it would not have been anywhere as amazing as it was without Michelle and her assistant Carrie! When small issues arose, Michelle quickly took care of them without having it impact our day as the bride and groom. Talking with Michelle is like talking to a friend and having someone who so quickly feels like a friend be a part of such an intimate and important day truly makes a difference. I would recommend anyone I know getting married to work with Michelle and Glamorous Weddings.

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!

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. I can't recommend Glass and Grace Events highly enough!

Joy is the heart behind Joyous Gatherings, bringing over a decade of hands-on event coordination experience to every gathering she touches. Born and raised in Ohio, Joy moved to Florida in 1996, where she spent more than 10 years serving couples as a wedding coordinator and ordained minister—offering everything from day-of coordination to full-service planning and vendor matchmaking. In 2006, she stepped away from the business to begin her career in education, but she never stopped missing the magic of events. Ohio ultimately called her home in 2024 she returned to what she proudly calls the greatest state of all.

I had a wonderful experience working with Joyous Gatherings for the wedding. They were consistently empathetic, respectful, and prompt in their communication, which made the planning process stress-free. The team at Joyous Gatherings proved to be reliable, compassionate, and highly creative, ensuring that every detail of our special day was thoughtfully executed. Their commitment to delivering a seamless and memorable event was evident throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Joyous Gatherings to any couple looking for a wedding planning.
