I had The Flowerman design and assemble my flowers and I can share they brought my vision to life. During the initial consultation, they were positive, listened, and provided a very detailed quote which made me confident the week of would be well executed. Most importantly, they were flexible with my budget and provided great alternatives to the look I wanted, but in a lower price point. While assembling my flowers, they sent me photos for my review to make sure they were what I envisioned (99% spot on) , and they even adjusted the last 1% to make sure it was perfect. The delivery was also seamless. I highly recommend them.

I became a professional pastry chef over 25 years ago. When I mix my passion for people and food with my creative skills, I can’t imagine doing anything else.

I pour myself into everything I create and love nothing more than being able to elevate a celebration by bringing to life someone else’s vision. With my experience, I truly can create anything you are looking for, and it would be my deepest honor to serve you on your special day.

Hastings Bake House was absolutely outstanding in every way for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Stacey was prompt, personal, and truly understanding of our vision. She listened closely to the inspiration photos I shared and the specific look I wanted for our wedding cake, and she delivered something even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Stacey uses only the highest quality, real ingredients in her cakes, including natural food dyes, and she was able to accommodate my food allergies with no problem. The final cake was a true work of art - not only did it look incredible, but it tasted absolutely delicious as well. I give Hastings Bake House a 10/10 and cannot recommend them highly enough for any couple planning their dream wedding!

Glamorous Weddings

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.

Tessa N. Brediger Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,300

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 did our wedding last July and we absolutely love the way she captured all the special moments of our big day! She was so easy to work with and went out of her way to make sure that the photos truly represent us and our relationship. As a bride, I know I can speak for other brides and say that we spend months and months buying decor, planning, Pinterest surfing and envisioning what our wedding day will look like. I knew the exact look and feel I wanted for our wedding and it was so important to me that the right “feel” would translate in the photographs (because after all, in the end photos are the best form of tangible memories we have).. and I feel Tessa really was able to do this for us! The way she captured the details were really beautiful. Her style is very natural and unposed, which allowed true and intimate moments of the day show through. Her passion for not only photography but for seeing others in love, showed through as she even teared up during our first look! She’s a very thoughtful and artistic photographer. She was also really quick to get our photos back to us! Thank you, Tessa, for being so wonderful! (Originally posted on The Knot)

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.

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! :)

Brian Harris DJ Entertainment

Dayton, OH
  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,495

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 came highly recommended by both our photographer and a coworker. If you're looking for a professional to help you plan the biggest party you'll ever throw, then look no further. We had two separate planning meetings with Brian. The first was mainly an opportunity for us to get to know each other and finalize whether or not to hire him for our big day. We were immediately impressed with his preparation and experience with past events. Brian is not simply there to tell people it's time to eat and then press play on an iPod, rather, he is an MC who helps add valuable and meaningful context to your big day. To do this, Brian will collect lots of data from you. Plan on spending a few hours entering data in his portal where you'll provide information about your day, select songs for your first dance and the dance floor, and provide the details needed to craft your love story. Right before the first dance, Brian sat us down in front of the DJ booth and told the details of our love story for about five minutes. It's a fun way to tell the story to everyone, and it makes the first dance moment feel more special with that context in mind. Brian had lots of ideas for things we could do to add fun and entertaining moments to the evening, and nothing we did felt like we were simply checking a box. Once the dance floor opened, Brian did a great job of keeping everything rocking for over three hours of open dance. The dance floor was crowded all night, and Brian hit pretty much all of the songs we requested. To wrap things up, Brian got everyone to circle the dance floor, and we went around and gave everyone one last hug before we wrapped it up. Again, it was another thoughtful idea that Brian brought to the table. You can count on Brian making your experience less stressful and more enjoyable, so for us it was well worth the investment.

We are Carli & Hamilton Dixon, artists and business owners in downtown Dayton for nearly a decade, and residents of downtown for over two decades. The Brightside is located in the 905 E. Third Street building, which was 18,000 sq. ft. filled with abandoned clothes and trash when we purchased it. 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!

The Brightside Music & Event Venue was the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. From the moment we first contacted them, the staff was incredibly organized, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring every detail was handled with care. The venue itself was simply stunning - it truly felt like the total package, providing a fun and vibrant atmosphere that our guests are still raving about. The Brightside team went above and beyond to make our wedding day the best it could possibly be, and we are so grateful for their hard work and commitment to making our vision a reality. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate our marriage.

  • Starts at $2,200

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!
