MEET Amy

Jessie and John will always have a special place in our hearts. The UD sweethearts (Go Flyers!) were so much fun to work with, and their wedding day reflected their love for each other through beautiful, personalized details.

The girls got ready at the UD Marriott, and then we had a bus pick them up and take them to the venue. Jessie and John tied the knot outside at the beautiful Polen Farm, and then there was a gap between the ceremony and reception where we took photos at UD (at the house they met at!), and the Dayton Art Institute. We could not have asked for better weather, and the trees really showed off on Jessie and John’s big day!

After photos were done, we headed to the Dayton Arcade where we kicked off the reception. Jessie and John hired a caricature artist, which was a huge hit with guests during cocktail hour and into the reception. It served as a great way to take a break on the dance floor, and guests could bring the caricature home as a unique keepsake from the wedding!

Planning and designing weddings with intentionality

No two weddings are the same—because no two couples are the same. At Glass and Grace Events, our goal is to create a day that feels authentically you. Whether you envision a sleek black-and-white celebration or a floral-filled masterpiece bursting with color, we bring your vision to life with thoughtful details and seamless execution.

We love working closely with brides, grooms, and often their parents to ensure that every element reflects what matters most to you.  But a beautiful wedding isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about the experience. Every detail is intentionally designed, not just to reflect your style, but to ensure a smooth and memorable day for both you and your guests. From the first steps of planning to the final touches of design, we focus on creating a celebration that feels effortless, personal, and unforgettable.
