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.

I got married this past weekend! And I just want to say thank you to Ben! Ben was super amazing…read morethroughout the whole process. 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. He also had a lot of decorations available, which helped us save a lot of money! And make matters even better we got the trash package which was so worth it at the end of the night! He had it all. 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!

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...

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

Kitchen consist of a locked refrigerator so you have nowhere to store your food that needed to stay cold. No sink to wash dishes. Did not supply toilet paper or paper towels so bring your own.

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!!

The event was held in the main barn, and below the event space there is a beautiful suite for overnight stay. The suite features a full kitchen, spacious living and dining area, and a large bedroom with a huge bathroom with beautiful stone walls! The wedding was a wonderful success, and the venue is the reason why. The staff is incredible and professional. Photo opportunities on the property are almost endless, and span a variety of styles. I absolutely loved my time here, and I am already planning a stay for myself and my husband.
