Amazing venue and team!
Our Wedding at the Clay Theatre was absolutely amazing and I don’t think I’ll ever stop talking about it! Our experience at The Clay Theatre was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we first inquired, the communication was outstanding. Cristina was incredibly responsive, always answering our questions promptly and thoroughly, which made the planning process so much smoother. The relationships the team has with vendors, made choosing vendors so much easier. We knew we were in good hands. Cristina and Hilary listened to our vision and offered great suggestions, making us feel supported every step of the way. I know for a fact, the reason our wedding day was so perfect had a lot to do with the Clay Theatre Team! On our big day, everything was executed flawlessly, the staff went above and beyond to make our day seamless—every detail was taken care of with such care and professionalism. The venue itself is stunning, we received so many compliments from guests about how gorgeous the venue was! We couldn’t be more grateful to the team at The Clay Theatre. -

Look no further!
From start to finish, the staff at Clay Theatre went above and beyond to ensure that our New Year's Eve wedding day was nothing short of perfection. The staff at Clay Theatre were professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. They took the time to listen to our vision and worked hard to bring it to life, paying close attention to every detail. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The CT team were always available to answer our questions, offer guidance, and provide support throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, they flawlessly executed every detail, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the moment. Clay Theatre provided us with the wedding of our dreams. If you're looking for a wedding venue that will exceed your expectations, I highly recommend Clay Theatre. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! -

I looked at 10 different venue spots but as soon as I saw the clay theatre, and Andrea’s vision I knew it was the perfect place! They are constantly giving updates on the construction and are great with answering any questions we had. The surrounding area is beautiful as well - perfect for pictures. I can’t wait for the wedding of my dreams at the Clay TheatreClay Theatre's reply:
Thank you for the amazing review, Jessica! We are super excited about your wedding! Can't wait! #nowshowingtheclarks -

Marie M. Sent on 06/19/2021Best wedding venue in jacksonville
The Clay Theatre is quickly becoming the most beautiful wedding venue in Northeast Florida, in my completely biased opinion. The different spaces throughout the venue are perfect for the wedding night we imagined: outdoor courtyard ceremony, outdoor/lobby cocktail hour, and beautiful indoor reception hall. The bridal suite and grooms room were also a bonus and absolutely stunning! I also cannot speak highly enough about The Clay Theatre ladies. Lauren Cowgill, wedding coordinator, is absolutely a God sent and took my jumbled unorganized indecisive Pinterest board and created something more beautiful than I ever could have imagined!! They also had recommendations for every vendor you'll need (photographer, caterer, DJ, etc) which made it much more manageable to explore my options and make a decision. Almost a month later I am still getting compliments from guests! Without question, have your special day at the Clay theatre and I promise you will not regret it! -

Danielle D. Sent on 11/23/2020Amazing Venue with the BEST staff
I recently had my wedding reception at the beautiful Clay Theatre. I cannot begin to emphasize how incredibly effortless they made every step of the process. They were able to be flexible with me and helped me achieve the look I desired for my theme. Their staff is so sweet and easy to work with. I used to come to the theatre as a little girl, so to share those sweet moments with my family again is something that I will treasure forever. I would advise anyone to use this venue if you are even considering it. My friends and family continue to tell me how much fun they had there and how it was one of the best weddings they had been to. -

The Clay Theatre was the best decision of my entire wedding. When we booked the venue it was still under construction but the vision Andrea and Daniel had was clear. From the very beginning they were so helpful in answering questions, providing clear communication, and making sure everything went according to plan. I also used the coordinator through the venue, Lauren, who could not have done a better job. She was so helpful and made it the perfect night. I am SO thankful to have found this beautiful venue and their team. -

Chris J. Sent on 01/18/2020Photographed one of their first weddings
I flew in from Nashville to photograph a black tie formal wedding at the Clay Theater and was blown away by how gorgeous and classy this venue is being in the midst of a small town. Between the Venue and the waterfront nearby I was able to take some phenomenal photos of my clients. Also, the owners of the Clay Theater were extremely hospitable and open to my creativity on their property. I hope I'm able to photograph another beautiful couple there soon!Clay Theatre's reply:
Hi Chris!
Thank you so much for this amazing review! We loved having you, and hope you book a wedding here soon so you can come visit! This was still one of the most awesome weddings to date! You captured everything perfectly! Can't wait to work with you again soon!

Jacey Sent on 12/01/2021Clay Theatre - The BEST Wedding Venue!
The Clay Theatre is a stunningly beautiful venue with an incredible team. We looked at quite a few venues for our wedding and when we toured Clay Theatre, we knew it was the one. Andrea is the wonderful owner and from day one, she was kind, thoughtful, and accommodating. We had to delay our wedding more than once due to COVID and she was understanding and so pleasant to work with. We actually were VERY lucky to have a very small ceremony at Clay Theatre on our initial wedding date which was so special. We just finally held our long-awaited wedding celebration there and I have to say, it was worth every day of waiting. Everything came to life exactly as we imagined it, and some even better than we could have hoped for. Cristina, the Assistant Venue Coordinator, was a dream to work with. She replied quickly and was very informative. The whole team was amazing and we truly couldn't have had a better experience for our wedding celebration. Thank you, Clay Theatre team! -

The Clay Theatre is everything you dream of in a venue and more. Andrea and Daniel (the owners) are the sweetest people and will go above and beyond to make your day special. Andrea always answered every email quickly and had such great suggestions for some vendors I just didn't know who to go with. Lauren (the in-house planner) is a legit rock star and made our day so seamless...if anything went wrong I never even knew about it. The grooms room and bridal suite are beautiful perks that make the day that much more seamless. We booked our wedding 5 months before they even opened in the thick of construction and we are so glad we took the leap of faith. Do not hesitate...just book them! -

Lynn A. Sent on 10/26/2019Best Day Ever!!!
Our wedding and reception on August 24, 2019 at The Clay Theatre went well above what I ever imagined and dreamed as a little girl. Andrea and the entire staff were amazing through the entire process and were very accommodating with all the special requests we had. They made sure our wedding day was perfect. And I don’t even know where to begin with how beautiful Clay Theatre is! The elegant simplicity and sleek vintage vibe was exactly what we wanted and with the simple beauty of the venue alone, you don’t need much decor. We loved every detail of the venue, from the up lighting, the movie poster frames, the ticket booth, everything! And I can’t say enough about the bridal and grooms suites either. They both were amazing. The bridal suite had plenty of room for my nine bridesmaids and family to get ready in and just as much room in the groom’s suite. We received so many compliments on the choice of the venue, one of best decisions we made!!!!Clay Theatre's reply:
Thank you, Lynn and Michael, for allowing us to be part of your special day! It was perfect in every way! -

I got married at the Clay Theatre on July 20, 2019. I had complete faith in Andrea and her team's vision as I booked the venue before renovations were fully underway. Clay Theatre was the only venue I looked at; it accommodated all of my needs and what I believed would make for a memorable night. They DID NOT disappoint! I still have guest talking about how absolutely stunning and unique the venue is both inside and out. I would highly recommend Clay Theatre if you're looking for a venue that's in a league of its own. -

A Photographer's Dream
All obvious beauty of the place aside, the team at Clay Theatre genuinely cares. Not only are they super accommodating and warm to couples and their guests, as a wedding photographer, I felt like they cared about my experience as well. Every nook and cranny is a photographic moment and the energy from this venue is infectious (maybe due to the unique and fun lighting they have in their ballroom!) Also, the bathrooms are gorgeous and are the unsung heroes haha. Make sure to get their built-in coordination too and they will shine for you. -

Lindsey Sent on 05/17/2019We loved clay theatre!
WE LOVED THIS VENUE! While we could go on and on about how much we enjoyed having our wedding here, we thought we'd just share some of our favorite highlights:
- It's gorgeous and there's nothing else like it! From the white brick, gold and marble accents, and incredible chandeliers/lighting, this place kept us from having to purchase really ANY decor. It was beautiful in and of itself!
- We loved that it offered an indoor AND outdoor space - both equally beautiful
- Having a spacious bridal suite and groom's room to get ready in was SO IMPORTANT the day of that we hadn't even thought to look for in a venue
- And finally, the team that owns the venue is incredible. Andrea has become such a great friend and did EVERYTHING to make sure that my husband and I were thrilled with our big day (and all the moments leading up to it).
We can't recommend Clay Theatre enough! -
