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.

Angela is truly a lifesaver! We hired her as a Day of Coordinator only two months before our…read morewedding and can't imagine our day without her. She took care of every tiny detail and made sure we didn't have to worry about a single thing. She has an incredible attention to detail and is extremely organized and pleasant to work with. She did everything - made sure the decor was perfect, brought drinks for the bridal party during photos, orchestrated the ceremony, packed up everything at the end of the night, and even kicked out some wedding crashers, just to mention a few of the things she took care of. Seriously, HIRE ANGELA!! She made our wedding absolutely perfect, kept the bride and MOB from feeling any stress, and she is worth her weight in gold. I don't know what we would have done without her!

The crew of guys that came to set up were super helpful and set up our stage exactly where we asked them too. We also realized that we needed more steps and the owner himself (Bill) came out to set them up and to make sure we were happy with the stage. A few months later we had Kosins hang drape for one of our Christmas events and they did a beautiful job and worked with us till we were happy with how it all looked.

Pros * Floors and play areas looked spotless. * Plenty of open space for the kids to run around. Cons * The owners/staff felt downright passive-aggressive from the moment we walked in. Zero warm welcome--just rules barked at us. * Mandatory socks policy. My kids and I were barefoot, and instead of offering a workaround, they insisted I buy socks on the spot. Felt like an unnecessary upsell for a "junk" fee since the kids never actually touch the floor. *It's tedious and honestly pretty silly. * Adults must fill out a full waiver even if you're only sitting and supervising no exceptions. Bottom line: The facility itself is fine, but the vibe from the staff ruins it. If you do decide to come, bring your own socks and be prepared for extra hoops. Otherwise, there are friendlier play spots out there.

Do not hire Samantha for your day of coordination. All it has caused is more stress and chaos…read more We hired her in February for day of coordinator services for our October wedding. Late July she sent an email to her current clients changing her terms. When I asked for clarification on the terms we had agreed to (set up, room flip assistance, tear down), she suggested I hire a decorator for help. Once I told her I was hiring a decorator, as she suggested, she told me in an email and verbally that I didn't need to hire help and that her team could handle it. The morning after we spoke, she broke our contract to terminate services and left us searching for a new coordinator with less than 3 months until the wedding.

Do not book Kathy Piech-Lukas and/or Your Dream Day services to help plan your wedding. You will be…read morevery disappointed with the amount of money you spend and what you actually get out of the service. We were sold at the beginning by the fancy software and planning/detail she mentioned, but on the day of the wedding, we found out Kathy had booked other weddings and was frantically jumping between them. She had promised us that we were the only wedding of the day, but we had to find out through a third party that she had lied to us. A tremendous amount of details regarding the wedding were missed because Kathy was not present and her team was not aware of the details we had asked for. Even when she was there, she messed up the food at the after-party and the honeymoon suite was nothing like she had promised. To top it all off, she was running around, sweating and yelling at our guests during the reception. On a day when the bride and groom are supposed to be nervous and in need of a support staff, Kathy was just the opposite making things hectic, disorganized, and incomplete. Sadly, she is what a lot of our guests remember about the ceremony/reception. It was a bad decision to go with Kathy Piech-Lukas and Your Dream Day services and we insist that you do not make the same mistake.
