Wedding ceremonies are spectacularly impressive when performed in their stately, impeccably restored 1926 auditorium with both history and new technology. The theatrical lighting and fantastic acoustic qualities in the auditorium, combined with two backstage dressing rooms and other amenities, place the spotlight right where it should be – on the bride and groom, making your day as easy as possible.

The Clayton Center's most popular reception space is the 4,000-square-foot Lobby Gallery in Clayton, N.C. – just a short drive from Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex and other locations in the Triangle.
