Freedom to Celebrate Your Way
Looking for a venue in Dayton that lets you bring your own food, drinks, or caterer? You’re not alone. More and more people want flexibility when it comes to planning their event — from selecting their favorite local BBQ to serving Grandma’s homemade desserts.
If you’re planning a birthday, reunion, graduation, or baby shower, here’s what you need to know about BYOB and DIY food venues in Dayton — and why Chapel on the Lane’s Banquet Hall / Party Room should be on your list.
Why BYOB and Outside Catering Matters
Most event venues lock you into expensive in-house catering or charge large fees for outside vendors. But:
- Bringing your own food can save hundreds of dollars
- Choosing your drinks means no overpriced bar tabs
- Hiring your own caterer gives you creative control
At Chapel on the Lane, you’re free to bring:
- Home-cooked meals
- Food from your favorite restaurant
- Licensed caterers
- Alcohol (with proper permits when needed)
