Magnolia Estate Weddings

Magnolia Barn at Magnolia Estate in Miamisburg, Ohio is a beautiful outdoor wedding venue that offers indoor reception space. I recommend this Dayton wedding and reception venue for small to medium-sized weddings. The indoor space nearest the parking lot is a large bridal suite with air conditioning, mirrors, lights, and styling chairs. On the opposite end of the event building is a walled-off area for the bartenders.

Magnolia Barn at Magnolia Estate Tip: Give great directions to guests so they don’t visit Canopy Creek Farm or Rosewood Manor, both within 1/4 mile of each other. I have seen, repeatedly, guests showing up at the wrong wedding venue. There are three wedding venues right when you enter Miamisburg, and it is easy to mix them up.

One of my goals is to be a resource for couples like you who are searching for the perfect Dayton wedding venue. If you have a question about Magnolia Barn or any Dayton, feel free to ask. I’ll be happy to share my experience even if you don’t book with me.

What Facilities Does Magnolia Estate Have

Outside the bar area is an open-air room that allows for beautiful views of the hilly landscape and great breezes. The third and largest space is a beautiful, air-conditioned reception hall with large windows overlooking the outdoor wedding area and gazebo. The gazebo and arbor are white and beautiful surrounded by rows of white chairs for the ceremony. Choose Magnolia Estate’s Magnolia Barn for your outdoor wedding and indoor reception in Dayton. Lastly, this is a great indoor and outdoor Dayton wedding venue.

“Kevin is so talented and an excellent, professional, photographer. Very reasonably priced for all the photos he does. Kevin photographed our daughter, Hannah, and her fiance Trent, in engagement pictures last fall and small wedding pics in late July. Kevin will take the photos for Hannah and Trent next July as well for their celebration ceremony and reception. Strongly advise you to speak to Kevin for any special photography needs you have. (I was NOT paid to say that, he is just that good :))” – Father of the bride

Tip: Ask the great management here about options for seating and floor plans. Make this wedding unique to your taste.

Great Summer Wedding At An Indoor-Outdoor Wedding Venue

Wow this wedding at Magnolia Barn, Miamisburg, Ohio, was fantastic. This Magnolia Estate property is the perfect indoor-outdoor wedding venue just 12 minutes south of downtown. Combine a classy, beautiful wedding venue and an energetic couple and you get an ideal wedding day.

A Great Wedding Couple

I loved the couple, but the groom was my favorite. Don’t get me wrong. The bride was great. The groom and I bonded (engagement session and wedding) over our love of aviation. He works for a legacy cargo company whose planes I really want to photograph. I could nerd out over aircraft types with him anytime! The bride had lots of ideas and was perfect at relaying them to me. I made sure to get all the images she wanted as well as the artistic ones I wanted. We even got an epic sunset after the wedding.

What Makes This A Great Indoor-Outdoor Wedding Venue

In general, wedding couples can use the large gazebo or pergola behind the barn for ceremonies. Some couples choose to have the ceremony in the field just to the west between the barn and Rosewood Manor. There is plenty of outdoor from for weddings and for guests to roam around during receptions. The reception barn building houses the reception hall, open-air bar, restrooms, bridal suite, and groom’s room.

On a Saturday in September 2018, I photographed my first Magnolia Barn wedding. The bride and groom were spectacular and provided a great deal of time for wedding portraits. They were up for all of my suggestions including a few minutes for sunset wedding portraits. Although it was very hot, the wedding suite, groom’s room, and reception hall are all air-conditioned. I highly recommend this Dayton wedding and reception venue for weddings with 100 or so guests.

A Perfect Indoor-Outdoor Wedding And Reception Venue In Dayton

Upon arriving at the Barn, just 8 minutes from Interstate 75, I was pleased with the way the property looked. There is a private residence that houses the groom’s room (basement of the house). Once past the house, there is a large parking lot with plenty of room for guests, vendors, and more. The indoor space nearest the parking lot is a large wedding suite with air conditioning. Walking through the door on the south side of the suite are the restrooms and a small room for the bartenders. This room has a garage door that opens up to the second room which is open air on two sides and has the reception hall on the third side. I believe this area has garage doors for inclement weather. The third room is a beautiful, air-conditioned reception hall with large windows overlooking the outdoor wedding area and gazebo.

A Good DJ Matters Even For The Ceremony

Gauge, a DJ from Indianapolis’ DJ Connection did a fantastic job. He showed up early for the outdoor wedding and was able to mic the bride, groom, and officiant. When I photograph a wedding, I always hope the DJ is able to amplify the ceremony. Generally, very few people can hear a wedding ceremony, so when I experience a DJ who goes the extra mile, I like to give him props. Gauge did a great job keeping the reception moving, although he didn’t have a great deal of leeway due to a pre-determined list of songs from the awesome bride and groom.

Review: Magnolia Estate Wedding And Reception Venue In Dayton

“We could not be happier! Kevin has excellent and timely communication, he’s punctual, friendly, and talented! He did our engagement session and our wedding day and both produced fantastic results. He’s fun to be around and makes the photo sessions fun too. I was amazed at the amount of photos received from our wedding day and we received them before the honeymoon was over! Just fantastic. We would highly recommend!” – Christie M.

Outdoor Wedding Indoor Reception & My Favorite Wedding Family

What I Love About This Wedding Family

In 2025, I was hired to photograph this great bride and her fiancee at Magnolia Barn, a perfect outdoor wedding indoor reception venue. When she inquired with me in 2024, I immediately knew I wanted to photograph her wedding. How did I know this? I had photographed her sister’s wedding at The Grande Hall At Liberty Tower in downtown Dayton. Her family, several years ago, was one of the easiest and most fun to work with. Vibing well with a large wedding was incredible for me and the photos showed it.

I made every effort to treat the booking call like any other, knowing they may not hire me. When they did hire me, I was excited. I would get to work with at least half the people I did before. Additionally, I had a feeling her fiancee and his family would be great. I was right!

Outdoor Wedding Indoor Reception – Magnolia Estate / Magnolia Barn

The wedding went very well in the outdoor part of Magnolia Barn. Receptions are always fun with great air conditioning at their indoor reception space. It is ideal for 100-150 guests, I believe. Their wedding was the perfect blend out ceremony, party, photos, and more. Typically, the guests get hot sitting in the sun waiting for the ceremony to start. Once the ceremony has ended, the ice cold reception hall is ready to cool them off.

When Will This Family Get Tired Of Me?

Coming up later, I will be photographing the third out of four weddings for this family. I did the 2nd and 3rd already. I will be looking forward to photographing her brother, as he was a ton of fun at the engagement session.
