Our guests were very impressed also. Because the flowers are so lovely, we were able to go very simple on our own decor. Most of the vases, etc that we used came from the "shed" on the grounds that can be borrowed from and is included with the venue. We got hit with thunderstorms about 45 minutes before the ceremony, and had to do a little scrambling. But the staff was right on top of things and Lisa told us if we could delay starting for 15 minutes, they would have the chairs dried off and the reception area mopped up (some rain came in under the curtains on the sides). The cloud passed, and we were able to have a gorgeous ceremony outside as planned. Lisa and Justin worked it out that I could come tour the grounds with my daughter on an off day a few weeks before the wedding, as I live out of state and had not been able to tour the venue earlier. Our caterer and DJ had done events there previously, so they seemed very comfortable. It was a wonderful day!

In January 2023, a "hold this date reservation arrived" for August, 2023. A family member held her large, fashionable, and somewhat expensive wedding reception for 300+ friends and relatives. We congratulate her foresight for engaging this venue. It is great that Dayton's historical buildings are restored and lots of area folks delight in selecting reception areas. We know that Steam Plant Professionals deserve huge credit for being the venue of joy to life. We like the event spaces, indoor and outdoor. Of course, we like the on-site parking Highly recommend...

The Birch House at Glen Helen is absolutely beautiful and I was excited to find a venue for our…read morewedding that met what we were looking for. It's intimate and charming and was everything I was looking for! The staff is very friendly and I had a good experience with them up to the week of my wedding. The event coordinator, Ann, had solicited her services as a wedding planner when we booked the venue. She is pleasant and sweet, but unorganized and this became very apparent the week before our wedding. We arrived at the Birch House the day before to start decorations and my family was asked to set up tables and chairs and clean bird feces off of them. It seemed unorganized and unprofessional to ask for my family to be cleaning bird feces off of everything... especially since this can be a major source of spreading disease AND that is a venue responsibility. My father-in-law showed up the next morning a couple of hours before the wedding and the chairs were still dirty with bird feces in the ceremony area and wouldn't have been clean by the time guests arrived for the wedding if he hadn't spent an hour and a half cleaning them. Ann said she would also be there the entire time to help with transitioning guests, caterers and I shouldn't stress about anything, but I had to try to find them multiple times to help. Overall, it would have been a better experience if I had not paid for her to help plan it because I could have ensured things didn't fall apart the week before the wedding. She mixed up our tent rentals, booking reservations, there was no lighting in the tent whatsoever for my wedding ceremony (which caused nobody to get a good picture of us being married and this is something she should have addressed prior as something we needed and we would have been happy to pay the additional expense), and she should have had staff available to clean the tables and chairs. There was no flow between the ceremony, serving food, cake cutting, etc. When she solicited her services as a wedding planner (as a side job to being the event coordinator for Glen Helen), she assured us that she would take the stress off of us and make things go smoothly.... I felt like I had to do majority of the work I asked her to do and the things I let her book were all wrong. I would not recommend using her as a wedding planner if you book anything at Glen Helen. Aside from that, it's an absolutely stunning venue that provides an intimate setting to share your wonderful day with family and friends.

We went to a wedding/reception there and it was beautiful. The downfall is the bathroom. There are…read more single stall bathrooms available (one each). They are ADA compliant BUT getting a wheelchair to the ADA compliant bathroom was impossible. The pathway was widely spaced flat stones with gravel. They really need to pave a path and maybe consider additional facilities for the number of people attending. I had called prior to attending the event and was told the wheelchair would work, but for us, it did not. Also the pathway to the bathrooms was not covered and it was raining, so those needing to go got soaked.. improvements would be nice. Definitely not handicap friendly.

From day one he answered all the questions, phone calls, and anything and everything we needed. He had many suggestions on who we should get as our bartenders, photographers, and caterers.

The day of the wedding he was there the whole time helping and answering questions. He was like a shadow. Never seen but also always there. Thank you for helping and making sure the wedding went smoothly! The venue is absolutely beautiful and we wouldn't wanted to marry anywhere else! Thank you for a wonderful wedding!

I could not have asked for a better venue! It is not only absolutely beautiful, it is also in a great location, has great staff and offers great packages! Everything ended up perfect and we appreciated having their help along the way and being so kind with our circumstances. Thank you Rosewood, management and Emily for being so accommodating and amazing!!! We had the best time and absolutely recommend this venue!

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

When we arrived she had just pulled in the same time as us. Nothing was unlocked. She did not know where everything was at, not even the light switches. As she was showing us around, the lady GINA was more concerned about how SHE wanted us to do things and HER idea of our wedding than ours made us feel like we were there for HER. No matter what we said or how much we said we had everything worked out HER idea or way was better. She always had a better place to get things or do things. (It made us wonder if she got a kickback) This lady needs a wake up call a realize she is showing a POLICE HALL and is not a wedding planner! As for the property...This is a police lodge NOT a banquet center. Thank goodness for our GPS because there is no address or sign that says powell banquet center! If you get past that deception you approach the building to obvious lack of care. As you dodge the craters in the parking lot that are just waiting to swallow your tires you see this appealing building. After the crater field you get out of your car and approach the door to broken benches, peeling window tint, and the door pull was broken on the inside. After you enter the building keep looking at eye level. If you look up or down you will see a huge difference. The walls have been updated and are the cleanest thing there. Then you look down and there is the lack luster of a pink tile floor that reminds you of your days in school. They were not clean nor polished. As you enter the kitchen you are greeted by your grandmas brown wood kitchen cabinets with brand new commercial chefs stove with a run down rusty commercial refrigerator, and a household refrigerator/freezer. I was then taken outside to a shelter house with blown over trash cans that were full of trash. The property itself was rough around the edges. The grass was mowed, but there were sticks, and you can see the overgrown of the woods approaching! There was a beautiful gazebo overlooking a pond. Since my wedding was in the spring I asked about the landscaping and I was assured it would be perfect! (I don't think so!) There was a red stained concrete walkway that my fiance said needed to be sealed or would look horrible before or wedding. He also was concerned about the trees above the wedding guests that were untrimmed. While out there she once again Gina had her own ideas of out wedding. At that point I did all I could just to get out. Pros: Very nice gazebo on a pond. Lots of Parking Bring your own caterer (huge saving) Supply your own alcohol (huge savings) Use of Kitchen Cons: THE PERSON THAT RUNS THE PLACE GINA! (SHE IS THE #1 REASON WE DID NOT RENT IT ON THE SPOT!) They have no brides room. No grooms Room. Upkeep Brown folding chairs (would have to rent better chairs, but can with the price) Deceptive advertising!!!! Parking lot in bad shape! HUBER HEIGHTS POLICE PLEASE FIRE THIS LADY, GIVE YOUR PROPERTY A GOOD CLEANING, UPDATE & FIX SOME THINGS AND YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING THERE!
