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.

We love Andrea and The Clay Theatre! We actually met this awesome lady a few years ago at the annual Calavita event and fell in love with her sweet bubbly personality and her creative ideas for the Theatre. We are so excited to be part of something so special and looking forward to the grand opening! Andrea has thought of every single detail with care and intent and we firmly believe this venue is going to rock Clay County and all of the First Coast!
