Dayton Arcade Events

History Made Here

As a celebrated architectural gem since the turn of the century, the Dayton Arcade has been meticulously restored and is ready to host your wedding or special event. Many consider the Dayton Arcade as “The most spectacular piece of architectural history in Dayton,” and upon viewing the Arcade’s famous awe-inspiring Rotunda, you’ll quickly agree.

The Rotunda features a 90-foot diameter glass rotunda, Dutch Guild architecture, luxurious finishes, state of the art lighting, and reception seating for 500+ guests. The open, unobstructed floor plan can also host standing cocktail events up to 1,000 guests or theater-style seating up to 700 guests.

The lower level of The Arcade includes dressing suites and a theatre-in-the-round, affectionately called “The Tank.” It’s a space perfect for presentations, wedding ceremonies, cocktail hour, and smaller events.

Dayton Arcade Events is brought to you by Culture Works and we would be honored to host your next event! Culture Works is proud to be the largest provider of general operating support for many nonprofit arts organizations in the Dayton Region. Your rental with Dayton Arcade Events helps Culture Works to fulfill that mission!
