Top Five Wedding Venues In Dayton
Searching for good wedding venues in any city can be tricky. In a city the size of Dayton, Ohio, there can be hundreds of good, bad and ugly wedding venues. Fortunately, Kevin Lush Photography, popular Dayton photographer, has put together a list of the top 5 wedding venues in the Dayton, Ohio area. Benefits of each Dayton wedding venue are listed such as air conditioning, venue size and outdoor features. Each of these wedding venues in Dayton Ohio has pros and cons, and your experience may differ from what I has experienced. As an affordable high end wedding photographer in Cincinnati and Dayton, I have a lot of experience with all of these venues.
