Love The Clayton!!!!! We had our wedding here three weeks ago and it was truly an amazing and beautiful experience. Claire was such a joy to work with and never made me feel like I was annoying her anytime I emailed random questions about our special day. It's a wedding so of course it's going to be an expensive event but my favorite thing about The Clayton (besides Claire and the actual beauty of this venue) was their flexibility with vendors. We weren't tied to any specific vendors (except catering) which was great for us.
Speaking of the food, holy crap. So for starters, there are a LOT of options here and they very fair in their pricing per person. The food was absolutely amazing and our guests kept coming to us to tell us how it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. We did three different stations, all of which were incredible. The Clayton staff served us our food during the reception instead of making us go through the line, and continued to check in with us to see if we needed more of anything (my husband needed more pot pie since I stole it all haha).
I mean, honestly I could go on and on about this place. It's beautiful, modern, not pretentious, in a great location, and the staff is a joy to work with. This venue was the first one we toured and we knew immediately it was the one for our special day. Do the right thing and book with them for any event. You will not regret it.
