Wedding Ceremonies in The Rotunda

Say, “I Do” surrounded by Dayton history! We host many wedding ceremonies in The Rotunda, and our open floor plans gives us countless ways to lay out your ceremony. From long dramatic aisles to circular setups, we can design something extra special for your special day.

Please keep in mind that depending upon the time of day, the sun moves throughout The Rotunda like a giant sundial. We often suggest ceremony floor plans to ensure your guests aren’t having to look into the sun.

Holding your wedding ceremony at Dayton Arcade Events requires that you also rent The Tank. After your ceremony, you and your guests are escorted to The Tank for cocktail hour. During cocktail hour, Dayton Arcade Events Staff along with your caterer and decorator, flip The Rotunda from ceremony to reception based upon a pre-approved floor plan.

At the end of your cocktail hour, guests return to The Rotunda seeing a completely setup reception space!
