Awarded Best of Zola
The Flowerman florist was highly recommended to us in Dayton, and we were so excited to find out that they have a branch in Columbus where we had our wedding. We chose the DIY option, and it was such an amazing experience to learn how to make your own florals! The team in Columbus were wonderful, from speaking to us about the different flower options to walking us step but step. Fun for both girls and guys (my brother and now husband joined us). My bridal bouquet was even more special since it was made by my now husband and myself. Would definitely recommend!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Amy and her team were amazing!! I don’t know how the day ended with no issues but I suspect it was all them. The month before we were very busy with work and Amy made everything so much easier, coordinating with the vendors, thinking of things we hadn’t considered, and helping with our very last minute decision to put a picture with our guests at each place setting. The day of the team was the silent shadow keeping everything moving and giving a quick nod the few times I saw them to say everything was going well. That night they everything we brought to the venue up to our hotel room so we did not have to worry about it. Would 100% recommend Glass & Grace!

Inspired by my experience providing sound for over a hundred ceremonies, I wanted to create an authentic live performance through keyboard & my lofi looping set up. I still can’t believe I get to party with people for my job while also playing good music

Our wedding day would not have been the same without Isaac. He is truly amazing at what he does! When we first spoke to him, we explained that the main thing we wanted in our reception was for everyone to dance and he made that happen! He spent time talking with us during the planning process to get an understanding of what music we wanted to hear and we really appreciated that! He made sure to play songs from our lists and also found similar artists that matched the vibe to play as well! He truly catered for every age group and person at our wedding (this was especially important to us because our guests came from two different cultural groups and we wanted to make sure everyone felt included and comfortable. Every single person was on the dance floor and excited to dance the night away and couldn't stop raving about how awesome the DJ was)! The entire night was truly a party and such a blast! Not only did he help us with the music for the ceremony and reception, he also helped communicate with the other vendors and guests and just overall made the day go by so smoothly! He was so easy to communicate with from day one and just made our wedding day so much fun and stress-free!

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!

Their pricing is very fair for the amount of labor they did for us. They are so much more flexible and accommodating than your typical venue. The space is beautiful, even without all the extras. They have tons of great photo spaces. I highly recommend The Brightside!

Velvet Hour Photography is all about capturing weddings in a way that feels natural, emotional, and true to you. I focus on real moments, real connection, and portraits that still feel effortless and beautiful. I want your photos to feel like your day ,not stiff, overly posed, or trendy in a way that won’t age well. I’m passionate about telling love stories honestly and giving couples images they can actually feel when they look back on them. Your wedding isn’t just a timeline to me, it’s a story, and I treat it like one.

and professional. She always wanted to make sure we were on the same page with style and what kind of photos we wanted. On our wedding day she acted almost as another coordinator to make sure we had everything we needed, and she also made sure we were always having fun. I've gotten so many compliments from our wedding guests and friends who have seen our photos. The photos she took were absolutely perfect, they were exactly what we were looking for and I feel like she captured the mood of the day and our love for each other beautifully!!! About 3 days after the wedding Alysa calls me to say she's finished our ENTIRE gallery, when I wasn't expecting anything until 8-10 weeks after our wedding date, which I think is what our contract said! I was hoping for a few sneak peeks within a week but she worked overtime because she was proud of her work and wanted to share it with us. Her artistry and drive to share her art was so admirable and we couldn't be more grateful!! I've booked another small photo shoot with her for some more professional photos because I trust her and the way she views things through her lens. I would hire Alysa time and time again for our wedding photos, as well as literally any other photography work we would need. She's a true artist and an absolute joy to work with!

Mary, is a blast to work with - she keeps the photo session fun and energetic, offering helpful tips and suggestions along the way. We loved not only the quality of Childers' work, but also how down-to-earth and amazing Mary is as a person. A couple should highly consider choosing Childers photography if you want a perfect wedding day with lots of awesome pics.

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.

Our wedding day was nothing short of magical, and we owe so much of that to Joy. She helped bring our vision to life within our budget. From the very first meeting, Joy was attentive, organized, and genuinely invested in making our day unforgettable. Every detail—big and small—was handled with such care that we were able to simply enjoy the moment without worry. The décor was breathtaking, the coordination was flawless, and the entire experience felt personalized and thoughtful. Our guests still rave about how beautiful everything was and how smoothly the day flowed. We felt supported, celebrated, and truly taken care of from start to finish.
