Why To Elope In Dayton's Oregon District
We’ve talked a lot about how the spectrum of what you’re elopement is unbelievably broad! There is something absolutely kick-ass about a cute little urban elopement in a downtown area. Dayton has a special downtown district known as the Oregon District. Between the trendy parking garages (think of the top level overlooking the city), the best bars, beautiful color-popping murals, and unique small businesses, you can have the coolest little celebration with photos that won’t look like your average wedding day.

You have options. You could easily have a super small, quick ceremony on top of a parking garage. Use The Brightside venue, which has flexible options for your vision. You can get hitched at the local courthouse and move the party to different businesses around the district that are all within walking distance of each other. There are quite a few parks and wedding venues if your elopement requires more structure, space, and accommodations.
In fact, you could start your elopement day with a yoga session at Speakeasy Yoga. Plan your elopement in advance and get tattoos in your wedding attire at Rebel Rebel Tattoo or Gem City Tattoo. Get intimate photos taken while snuggling up and drinking coffee at Press Coffee Bar. See if you can get free shots at the endless number of bars! Enjoy the vibes of Tender Mercy for an incredibly intimate drinking experience. Roost and Salar offer a high-end dining experience that would be honored to accommodate your elopement day.
Make an entire day of adventures traveling throughout the Oregon District and enjoy all the unique photo ops. I recommend popping into the music store and taking retro-style photos with records! What’s even better about this type of elopement is you can invite your friends and family to different parts of the celebration. Go to yoga with your family or close friends. Get dinner with as many or few people as you want. You have so much control over how much of your day is shared. You can have such a fun celebration that you will never forget. Your wedding adventure won’t be like anyone else’s, and that is the coolest shit ever!
