What is the weather like in Ohio at the end of May?
You never know! Kidding aside, Memorial Day weekend in Dayton can be cool or warm. It could be cloudy and cool in the low 60s or bright and sunny in the mid 70s. We recommend checking weather apps a few days before traveling, and bringing some light layers in the case of cool weather.

Yes, both venues have plenty of parking.

There will be a small gap between the ceremony and the reception. We anticipate the ceremony ending at 4:15pm and cocktail hour at The Steam Plant begins at 5:30pm.
Am I allowed to take photos at the ceremony?
The church kindly asks that no pictures are taken during the ceremony. We look forward to many pictures at the reception!
What is the dress code?
Cocktail or formal attire.
How should I get to Ohio?
Thank you to all of our friends and family traveling from out of town. Dayton, Ohio is within a 3-5 hour drive of major cities such as Detroit, Chicago, and Pittsburgh and 7 hours from Buffalo, NY.
