we  specialize  in  crafting  bold Experiences  that  inspire,  engage,  & Leave  A  Lasting  Impression

Take a look at what happens when a little imagination meets a space that isn’t afraid to go there. From intimate weddings and elopements to parties, community events, performances, and creative photo shoots, The Work is a collection of the people and ideas that have brought Gem City Kitschy to life. As a wedding chapel, intimate event venue, and creative space in Dayton, Ohio, we’re here for experiences that feel personal, look anything but ordinary, and leave people talking long after the lights come back on.

"Dayton NEEDED a place like this."

It’s colorful, weird, welcoming, and completely different from every other event space around here. You walk in and immediately want to see every little corner and detail. The FLOOOORS, don't even get me started on the floors. They are everything and more. Gem City Kitschy is an entire experience.

“I genuinely don't know how to explain this place other than you HAVE to see it in person.”

We walked in and immediately started looking at each other like, are you kidding me?? Every time you turn around there’s another tiny detail you didn’t notice before. We took approximately 700 photos, stayed way longer than we planned, and have already been talking about what excuse we can come up with to have something here again.

“Okay, pictures genuinely do not do this place justice.”

I thought I knew what to expect from seeing it online and then we walked in and I was like… ohhhh, they really went for it. 😂 There is SO much to look at and somehow every corner is a good photo spot. We spent half the night pointing out little details we hadn’t noticed yet. Dayton has needed somewhere like this for a long time.

Get on the tea rotation and guest list. We spill the good stuff first: upcoming events, Kitschy happenings, fresh ideas, occasional chaos, and anything else too juicy to keep to ourselves. No stupid emails ever, we swear.
