About

Away from the busy streets of downtown Dayton, Ohio sits one of the most unique wedding sites in the Tri State area. This 100 year old wedding venue is unlike anything you have seen before, with over 30 acres of property, a 4 acre lake, and a forest of oaks, elms, sycamore, and pine trees. This is your elegant country wedding venue. You can get married on a breathtaking deck overlooking Elm Lake or under an ancient 150 foot Sycamore born during the American Revolution. This place is perfect. You can have your reception either at the outdoor venue lakeside or the private forested Wolf Creek Retreat on the northwest corner of the property. One of my favorite features of this venue is the tree lined driveway to the venues, its perfect for photos. The venue is a perfect setting for an outdoor ceremony and can be a perfect place for a tented reception. You can even have a lakeside wedding ceremony under the trees. Check this out if you are looking for a fabulous Ohio country wedding. Check us out at www.elmlakeohio.com.

This venue is so cute, pretty and functional!!! The area is breathtaking with the Lake serving as a masterful background! The open air venue has a beautiful roof and plenty of room! Gorgeous!

Elm Lake Venue

This venue is absolutely beautiful! Our previous wedding venue became unavailable 5 days before the wedding & the couple that runs Elm Lake helped us rearrange preparations as well as give us a beautiful new location. Would definitely recommend!

Elm Lake is a beautiful venue with a lot of character. It is beautifully decorated and kept in pristine condition. The owner, Chris, is a pleasure to work with and extremely accommodating. She will work with you to make sure that you have the perfect event. My guests were amazed at the beauty of the property and had a great time.
