As a local wedding photographer, I get to see many types of venues. I was pleasantly surprised by…read morethe Wyoming Fine Arts Center! It has an AMAZING staircase - so perfect for photos. The ceremony was held upstairs - another cool room with the two pianos, theater-style seats and dark wood. I think the venue has a lot of cool details to offer - and my bride said they were SUPER flexible and very affordable. They were able to bring in their own caterer - a big plus, since some venues force you to use one of their preferred caterers. I have added some photos from the wedding. If you are thinking of having your wedding and/or reception here and are working within a smaller budget, then I definitely think you'll be happy with the location and what they offer.

My husband and I had our wedding reception here in 2010. We loved it!!!!…read more The staff was very flexible and accommodating. We decided to rent some bar height tables and use some of the rounds supplied by the center. This allowed us to have more of a cocktail party vibe and gave more space for dancing. Our ceremony was held at the city gazebo just across the street (on other side of new Distassi venue). The upstairs sanctuary at Wyoming Arts was our backup location for the ceremony. I uploaded one picture of our ceremony at the gazebo. The photo uploaded by Alex S. is from our reception. The shot is of the guests coming through the front entrance. My husband and I stood on the front porch for our processional to welcome the guests. We were very pleased and everyone enjoyed themselves at our event!

I'd try one of the other Cincinnati music shops like Mehas Music. Willis has always been one…read moredisappointment after another for me and my family. I've tried to do business with them and have never been successful. They declined a brass repair of mine at one of their instrument repair locations which is now closed, but was very unprofessional about it. Last week my 13 year old and I spent several days choosing a new trigger trombone for him stepping up from his entry level trombone. We ended up choosing one on the Willis Music website with his middle school band instructor's approval and placed the order with Willis online late one evening. This was one within our budget and checked all of our boxes plus it was new...we thought we were going to need to take our chances on a used model. Credit card was charged. I woke up the next morning to my son still super excited asking when it would arrive, and that he had already been awake two hours watching videos and reading about it. I was really excited for him. Later that morning I received an email that the order had been canceled and a refund would be issued with no alternatives offered. They said it had been discontinued, but the manufacturer still makes this model just with a new backpack style case which is the one they displayed in their listing. They ended offering to get us that same trombone we had purchased (because it wasn't discontinued), but it would be $600 more than I had paid on their website the night before. They also assured me this $600 additional was a great deal. Such a scam and a waste of time. They certainly don't attempt to make things right in any way...unreal let down for my son. I wouldn't trust them and especially their website/online ordering. This also had our budget tied up in the authorization on my card for a week. We ordered a used trigger trombone on eBay, and will be taking it to Mehas Music to have it checked out, cleaned and any repairs.

It turns…read moreout that appointments are appreciated, but the staff took me in and within 15 minutes had me trying various violins. They were helpful, respectful, and knowledgable. I had little experience in playing violin, but have a lot of musical experience with other instruments. They demonstrated both of their student violins and I could hear a clear difference. There was a nice sale in progress and I walked out within the hour with a Shop Model B violin. I have been playing this instrument daily for 8 weeks and really appreciate the craftsmanship and the sound of the violin. I had a great experience with the shop, from introductions to taking time to understand my musical experience level to the final sale.
