Top 5 Wedding Venues in Dayton — and How We’ve Captured Them on Film
When it comes to weddings, location matters. Dayton offers some of the most unique and visually stunning venues in the region — each with its own character, lighting, and vibe. At Losproductions, we’ve had the honor of filming countless love stories across the city, and over time, a few venues have really stood out for their cinematic potential.
Here are our top 5 favorite wedding venues in Dayton — and a peek into how we’ve captured their magic on film.
📍 1. The Steam Plant
Why we love it: Industrial architecture meets romantic elegance. With soaring ceilings, exposed brick, and beautiful natural light, The Steam Plant offers a perfect mix of modern and vintage.
How we film it: We use wide-angle lenses to highlight the grand interior, and dramatic drone shots to show off the venue’s impressive structure. Evening receptions at The Steam Plant give us a chance to play with warm uplighting and golden-hour shots just outside the doors.
📍 2. Carillon Historical Park
Why we love it: Outdoor charm with a touch of local history. The park offers a stunning backdrop of lush gardens, rustic buildings, and timeless architecture.
How we film it: We lean into natural light and handheld motion to capture candid moments — think first looks under the trees, slow-motion walking shots near the old rail cars, and wide drone flyovers of the ceremony site.
📍 3. The Dayton Art Institute
Why we love it: Classic. Elegant. Iconic. From marble staircases to high-ceiling galleries, this space feels straight out of a movie.
How we film it: For weddings here, we focus on details — the artwork, the architectural lines, and the couple framed by historic elegance. We often use a cinematic LUT to create a timeless, editorial look, ideal for black-tie events and formal weddings.
📍 4. The Brightside Music & Event Venue
Why we love it: Bold, eclectic, and full of creative energy. This venue is perfect for non-traditional couples who want something memorable and fun.
How we film it: With color. With movement. With emotion. We capture the quirky vibes of The Brightside with creative transitions, kinetic camera movement during the dance floor moments, and vibrant lighting setups that highlight the venue’s modern touches.
📍 5. Top of the Market
Why we love it: Spacious, warm, and full of natural texture. This restored freight depot blends rustic charm with modern finishes.
How we film it: We often use subtle camera sliders and natural ambient audio to bring a sense of intimacy to the storytelling. Candlelit receptions and open dance floors give us great moments to shoot with soft-focus lenses and long takes that keep viewers fully immersed.
