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!

Mica and the whole staff at The Windamere really made our wedding better than we could’ve imagined. From the beginning, Mica was very straightforward and honest. All of her pricing was transparent and she was thorough with us. The venue offered the history and charm we were looking for at a decent price and Mica gave us the peace of mind by being our day of coordinator. I loved that we were all able to get ready on site and never saw each other until our first look. We also enjoyed that she has a secluded vip area for us right after the ceremony so we could take a few minutes to breathe before the reception. She helped through the decor process and was very timely with communication, especially as we were planning from 500 miles away. We are so grateful for her and her team.

  • Starts at $2,000

Karrikin Spirits Company is a Cincinnati based craft distillery and event space in Fairfax, committed to exploring our love of flavors with the community. By definition, karrikins are the elements found in the smoke from a forest fire that trigger the regeneration of that forest. In the centuries since Whiskey Hollow was settled, those karrikins have been at work to bring distilling back to this very location on Cincinnati’s east side. In Spring of 2017, seven founding members with experience in brewing & distilling, woodworking, design, and more came together to purchase a building formerly occupied by Swallen’s and later, DnD Metal to start a journey of flavor and fire. From there, Karrikin Spirits Company was formed — a full-service, grain to glass distillery producing handcrafted spirits, sparkling spirits, non-alcoholic sodas, and beer. If you are interested in booking with us, please contact us directly. Details on how to reach us is found on our website.

My husband and I got married at The Postmark on September 19th, 2020. We had previously booked another venue and due to COVID had to find an alternate venue last minute. I wanted a unique wedding that captured the beauty of our ever-growing downtown. When we walked into The Postmark to take a tour, we saw our anniversary date on the vault door. We knew then that it was meant to be. We loved our experience at The Postmark and Destiny was a joy to work with. I could not recommend this venue more.

We chose The Factory Event Center for our daughter’s wedding, and couldn’t have been happier with the decision. From our first meeting through the final goodbyes, April and her team were thoughtful, organized, and made everything easy. The gardens are truly a highlight. We toured in late spring, and were wondering how the garden ceremony space would look in the fall — it turned out to be absolutely breathtaking and the perfect backdrop. Every detail during the event ran smoothly: the setup, the coordination, the flow, and the atmosphere. Guests kept commenting on how beautiful everything was.
