Welcome to The Brightside Wedding & Event Venue

A trendy and affordable event space in the heart of downtown Dayton

Oh, hey there! You’re likely here because you are planning something pretty epic. Perhaps to marry your best friend with a fun, trend-forward, and anything but ordinary experience in mind? Well, you’ve found the right place – you’re going to love it here at The Brightside.

You might have found us after searching for Dayton, Ohio wedding venues and you know exactly what you’re looking for. The problem? Finding the ceremony and reception venue in downtown Dayton you really love that you can actually afford (without selling everything you own to pay for the wedding).

We get it because we’ve been there. We planned our wedding with a budget that required creativity. 

That’s why The Brightside Dayton is the venue you’ve been dreaming of and just couldn’t find – until now. 

Get ready to check all the boxes:

  • A seriously cool vibe for your onsite ceremony and reception

  • No restrictive ‘must use’ vendor lists

  • Fewer restrictions, no minimums, and hidden upcharges (you know the really annoying tricky stuff) than many venues bombard you with

  • And…We’re surprisingly affordable!

So grab a cocktail and dive on in to get all the details you need to be ready to say “yes!” to The Brightside Dayton. On our website, you’ll find transparent pricing, available dates, answers to your most asked questions, the ability to tour the space, and so much more.

We could go on and on about how much we loved The Brightside! From the aesthetics and style to the affordability and versatility the venue allows for outside vendors, we could not have chosen a better venue.

We really fell in love with the rustic elegance that The Brightside already had with little to no decorating required. There were so many ways to make the space our own for our big day. It was the perfect place to say “I do!”
