This review is for our pre-event reservation experience. We did not end up holding our event at the…read moreEngineers Club, so we cannot review it in that capacity. We are not local to Dayton (we live on the west coast), or what happened might have been avoided or handled far earlier. We rented the auditorium at the Engineer's Club for our wedding welcome event. We were going to have a movie night, and told them this up front. We saw photos online of movie nights in the Engineer's Club auditorium and were excited to have a similar event there. When we signed the agreement, we were told that the movie equipment, including "dvd player, projector, movie screen, and sound system," would cost $200 on top of the $900 venue rental fee. We signed the agreement and paid the non-refundable $900 deposit that was required (the full venue fee). We asked if a lower deposit was possible, but were told no. Four months before the event, we flew to Dayton and visited the Club to meet the event director and walk through the space to go over the plans. In the auditorium was a small presentation screen. The kind set up on its own free-standing easel. Imagine the old overhead projector screens from school in the 90s--the screen was smaller than our home television. We were told that was the movie screen for our event with an estimated 120 guest count (as written in the agreement). It turned out that if we wanted an actual movie screen that fit the auditorium, we'd have to pay even more to rent it and a projector from an outside AV company. We admit we were at fault for not confirming more details (movie screen dimensions, projector model/capability) before signing and paying the deposit. But the Engineer's Club could have been more clear and transparent about what facilities they had, and that our event was not a good fit for their space unless we were willing to spend more. Rather than paying the additional rental costs, we found a charming movie theater in Miamisburg for less than half the price, and it included all the tech required to show a full-size movie. The Engineer's Club agreed to refund a portion of our deposit, which was kind, but we were still out a significant amount of money because of how expensive their original deposit was. Because of our experience, I cannot recommend planning a private event here.

Emily was our day of coordinator and we also opted for the set up and tear down option. This was well worth it and saved so much stress. Emily did an amazing job meeting with us over several months to plan, build a timeline, floor plan, etc. she helped me with any questions and truly became a friend during this experience. 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!

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.

Play: couldn't see it, couldn't hear it, Left early. Bottom line on this: Won't be back

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.
