Perfect pond side location for an outdoor ceremony, and I'm guessing the pavilion right next to the pond is your next best bet, if the weather doesn't cooperate. Beautiful grounds, with so many photo ops!! Be sure to get there early, if you're a guest-- Parking can get tricky, but it all worked out PERFECTLY for us!!

We attended an Edgar Allen Poe play here tonight. Here's my notes:…read moreVenu: very cool trusses in the ceiling! Probably awesome for a wedding, just terrible for a play. Flat floor, no slope, we were 25 min early but stadium seating, sat 1/2 way back. Difficult to see the stage, floor is flat. Sound system was 2 lg speakers above the stage and the actors had hand microphone - should be head sets. Could only hear maybe 1/2 of what was said. Play: couldn't see it, couldn't hear it, Left early. Bottom line on this: Won't be back

WOW! I've visited this barn for a family wedding over the summer. My extended family approached my…read moreimmediate family asking us if we would at least hand the wedding knowing that it was about an hour and a half away from Cincinnati. Of course, we could not say no! Not knowing what to expect, we made the drive to this rustic barn in Piqua, Ohio. What a surprise! A Saturday wedding took place at 4:30 in the afternoon. Before the ceremony started, we were able to go inside of the barn for some shade. It was truly appreciated, as there were several older people in attendance. It was over 90°, so it made for a very hot outdoor wedding! The ceremony just outside the barn was beautiful and quaint. I read online that the facility could hold a guest list of 250 people. The outdoor venue where the ceremony was held looked small enough to be considered quaint, but I really do believe 250 people could have sat on those benches outside, if needed. The two-story barn was quite large, as it had an area for a bar, the wedding table for the bridal party, about 26 round tables with eight chairs each, and a loft area complete with a photo booth and additional smaller tables, if needed. There were nice bathrooms on the first floor, with three stalls in the women's room. Large enough for people to get in and out, as well as cleaner than a horse stable or portalet (phew!). If you look online, it looks like the couple who owns this used to be in an event planning company. It looks like the barn is situated on an old Homestead, as the house is where the bridal party gets ready. There is even an additional older looking barn that the men can hang out in while the girls get ready. There is a parking lot next to the field where the couple gets married, but a field of sunflowers attempts to block away the row of cars in the lot. Honestly, I left this venue thinking I should get into the event planning industry! If you look online, the couple is pretty honest about their rates. It looks like it is about $3500 for a Saturday late afternoon wedding and $2500 for a Friday night or Sunday afternoon. Of course, that is just the barn rental. I am sure that anything additional would cost more. Wonderful venue!! Just know there is not air condition in the barn. We really appreciated all the fans!!

Next to the Dayton art Institute, and across the river from downtown Dayton, on a hill overlooking…read morethe city is the Dayton Masonic Center. Ample parking is available on site, to the rear of the building. This large facility is a combination of neoclassical and art deco architecture. With multiple floors and many meeting rooms & lounges full of architectural symbols related to the Masonic fraternity, it is a showcase for the high watermark of historic Masonic temples. Still occupied by the Masonic fraternity and it's various appendant bodies, it is a vibrant well used community facility and does host other events from time to time. A tremendous asset to the Dayton region.

They have several events I want to see is a Beatles Tribute Band and Kentucky Head Hunters coming up later this year. Check their website to see all bands coming. The main seat selection is standard stadium seats that are close together and I'd recommend being a seat cushion. And don't bring a pocket knife or other weapon as it will be confiscated at the door. Bottle of water is $3 and a beer or personal size bottle of wine is $7. They have popcorn and other concession foods. Honestly it's a wonderful night out and my wife and myself enjoyed the evening. If it is available that night they have a first come first serve seating with more comfortable folding chairs or a chair and folding table setup. I'd check by calling first to see if that's going to be available that event before just expecting it.
