Welcome to Dayton Venues!

Dayton Venues was started by Elite Catering and LMR Catering and is designed to help take the confusion and frustration out of finding the perfect venue for your next event whether it’s a meeting, wedding, or anything in between! With just one email or phone call, you can check venue availability or tour all four of our Feature Venues: Dayton Masonic Center, The Grande Hall, America’s Packard Museum, and The Mandalay.

As one of the preferred caterers at all the other fine venues listed here, we are intimately acquainted with all of these spaces and can help you navigate your way through the venue booking and planning process. Our team of dedicated Event Managers and Directors know that your venue is more than just a space to hold an event. Your venue plays an integral role in setting the stage for your event’s story, and we are happy to assist you along that journey.
