A Yankee Trace wedding can be beautiful. This Dayton wedding venue is a good choice for golf lovers hosting a small wedding reception. Usually, wedding parties are confined to the clubhouse, practice green, and patio. Don’t anticipate being able to use a golf cart to get beautiful photos on the property. I’ve never been allowed to do this at any Yankee Trace event.

Dayton photographers will probably find that there are not an overwhelming number of backdrops, but there is enough to create gorgeous Dayton wedding photography. Luckily the front portico is beautiful, albeit small. There is a driving range and practice area to the north that provides a few trees and plenty of grass. There are very few options to create dynamic portraits, but the options they do have are decent.

Yankee Trace Golf Course is a good wedding reception location in the Dayton area. As far as golf courses go, there is limited use of green space for wedding photos, but you maybe the administration will let you go places I have not been. The front entrance makes a nice backdrop for smaller group photos, but there are few locations that can accommodate larger groups. The wedding prep area is one of the largest in Dayton, so that is a big plus.

The reception space is decently sized but not large. This is a good reception facility for small to medium weddings. I see too many wedding receptions where the tables can be too close together. It would be tempting to have a reception here while cramming in the guests. I’d consider other venues for larger weddings.
