The Brightside Music & Event Venue

About

The Brightside Music & Event Venue is a wedding band and event space located in downtown Dayton, Ohio, operated by Carli and Hamilton Dixon. After purchasing the 18,000 square-foot building at 905 E. Third Street over a decade ago, the owners undertook extensive restoration work to transform the space from a neglected structure into a fully functional venue. Now fully renovated and operational, The Brightside serves as one of Dayton's dedicated music and event destinations. The Brightside offers live music services for weddings, with the owners bringing their background as performing artists to their work with couples. The venue itself provides an on-site location for celebrations, combining the band performance with a restored event space. The restoration included complete infrastructure updates and service upgrades throughout the building to support events. Wedding band services at The Brightside start at $2,600. The venue accommodates events within its 18,000 square-foot space, allowing couples to book both the live music performance and the venue itself for their celebration. Couples can arrange details directly with Carli and Hamilton Dixon regarding their specific event needs and timeline.
