As others have mentioned in their reviews, the…read moregrounds and landscaping are very beautiful and striking-everywhere you look there is a spot for another photo. 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!

The barn and he "milk parlor" had some really great decorating details using machine parts from a farm. I have to say if it were my daughter, knowing what I know now, I would have a spring or fall wedding here but not a summer wedding. There was no air conditioning whatsoever. The guests were all sweating up a storm and couldn't stand staying in the barn because it was so hot. The small house fans were weak and offered no relief. They desperately need ceiling fans at a minimum and a swamp cooler would be good. My companion was beyond overheated and couldn't leave because there was no cel reception to call an uber.

Steam Plant is a favorite wedding venue in the Greater Dayton Metropolitan Area. Best bridal…read moreadvice: Do diligence and explore the Greater Dayton- Cincinnati markets well in advance of your special day. Caveat: Engage this beautiful venue as soon as possible.... 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...

This place is amazing. They really have put a lot of thought into making it a great event center…read more I love the two suites they have for the bride and her ladies and then the men's downstairs. The wedding was absolutely beautiful with an amazing backdrop. Used a catering company that was recommended by the Steam Plant, Elite Catering, I was not impressed with their food at all. This event center is so elegant and the food wasnt up to the standards you would expect.

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!

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

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.

Queen bed, lots of chairs, even a TV with a DVD player. In the hall is the Smith Library, full of books, games, dvds, and music. The house itself is lovely, lots of common rooms downstairs. The grounds are just as nice. We had a wonderful visit and can't wait to come back. It's minutes from Wittenberg University, so I'm sure we'll be back a lot in the next four years.
