Weddings at Dayton Dragons Diamond Club: Frequently Asked Questions

Weddings at the Dayton Dragons Diamond Club can be booked up to two years in advance. However, for weddings scheduled between April and August, availability depends on the release of the MiLB schedule, typically available by mid to late September of the preceding year, as we cannot host private events during home games.

The rental fee includes the contracted space. It also includes:

  • 60-inch round tables
  • Use of our standard banquet chairs
  • Floor-length black or white table linens, and matching black or white napkins
  • House flatware, serviceware, and china
  • Basic setup and cleanup of the event space
  • Complimentary use of audiovisual equipment (98-inch TV and projector, with HDMI cords to connect to laptop for display)

We highly recommend scheduling a tour with a member of our Event Services Team if you’re considering our venue for your wedding. This ensures someone is available to show you around and discuss your specific needs in detail. To schedule your appointment, please call us at 937-228-2287 ext. 698 or email [email protected].

To officially secure your wedding date, we require two things: a signed contract and a $500 non-refundable deposit. Once both items are received, your event date will be confirmed.

To reserve your event at the Dragons Diamond Club, a $500 non-refundable deposit is required along with a signed contract. This deposit is applied to your final event balance.

No, outside catering is not permitted. All food and beverage services at the Dayton Dragons Diamond Club are exclusively provided by our trusted partner, Professional Sports Catering (PSC). This allows us to ensure a seamless experience and exceptional quality for you and your guests.

While outside food and beverages aren’t permitted, we do make an exception for special occasion cakes, cookies, or cupcakes from a licensed bakery.

On your wedding day, the venue will have the room fully set by 10:00 AM. This includes all tables and chairs arranged according to your finalized layout. After 10:00 AM, you and your wedding party are welcome to begin adding personal touches such as decorations, specialty linens, or alternate chairs if applicable.

If you would like access earlier in the day or the evening before your wedding, please contact your Event Services Manager. Early access is based on availability and depends on whether another event is scheduled in the space the night before. We will confirm availability no later than two weeks prior to your event

Absolutely! You're welcome to bring in your own vendors for any services outside of catering. To ensure a smooth and successful event, all vendors must be approved in advance by your Event Services Manager and will need to provide proof of liability insurance. Vendor setup may begin at 10:00 AM, and we kindly ask that all teardown be completed within one hour after your event concludes.

Please note that due to limited storage space, we are unable to store any items overnight. We recommend coordinating with your vendors to ensure all belongings are removed at the end of the event.

Smoking, including the use of e-cigarettes, is not permitted inside Day Air Ballpark or the Diamond Club. Designated smoking areas are available outside the facility.

Although the Diamond Club does not own or operate any of the nearby parking lots, we are happy to assist in coordinating hosted parking based on lot availability and the number of guests requiring parking. Hosted parking allows clients to provide vouchers and cover the cost of guest parking, with the total usage added to the final event invoice.

If guests will be paying for parking on their own, we can recommend nearby public lots; however, spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

For events starting after 6:00 PM, complimentary street parking is typically available along the side roads surrounding the stadium and event center—also on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please note that valet parking is not available at this time.

Your Event Services Manager will assist you with securing your wedding date, negotiating your contract, and serve as your primary point of contact for any questions related to the Diamond Club. They will also help finalize your timeline and event order ahead of your big day. While they are not a dedicated wedding planner, they are there to support you and ensure your event runs smoothly. If you feel you will need more detailed planning, such as setting up décor, managing guest coordination, handling rehearsal management, or overseeing outside vendors, we recommend considering a professional wedding planner to assist with these aspects.

Yes! If you book your wedding ceremony at the Dayton Dragons Diamond Club, we will provide a rehearsal date and time (typically 30–60 minutes) at no additional charge, based on venue availability. We will ensure the rehearsal is scheduled during the week leading up to your wedding. While we strive to accommodate a rehearsal the night before, this cannot be guaranteed as rehearsals may need to work around other scheduled events.

Please note, this rehearsal time is for running through your ceremony only and does not include a rehearsal dinner or any food and beverage service.

Yes, we do! While we don’t have a separate or rented dance floor, we will designate space on our existing flooring by rearranging tables to create a dance area. There is no additional fee for this setup.

Absolutely! You’re welcome to use our 98-inch TV for slideshows or video presentations. Please be sure to let your Event Services Manager know at least 48 hours before your event so we can set everything up for you.

Yes, once your event is booked and a security deposit is made, your Event Services Manager will coordinate with you and PSC to schedule a tasting. The tasting is for up to 6 guests and there is no charge. Tastings are typically scheduled 3-4 months prior to your event, based on availability.

Yes, we’re happy to accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies. Your Event Services Manager will work with you to tailor the menu to your guests needs. Just share any specific requests, and we’ll provide suitable alternatives.

A member of our staff will be happy to cut your cake and plate it for you, at no additional cost.

A 19% service charge is applied to all food, beverage, room rental, audiovisual services, and other event-related charges, in addition to a 7.5% sales tax. For events at the Diamond Club, Professional Sports Catering retains 9.5% of the service charge, while the remaining 9.5% is distributed among the service staff. Additional tips or gratuities are completely optional and at your discretion. If you’d like to add a gratuity to your final bill for distribution to the staff who worked your event, your Event Manager will be happy to assist.

Home Plate Ceremonies

  • Field usage is restricted to the dugouts, warning track and home plate only.
  • We will allow the couple, officiant, wedding party and one photograph on the field during the ceremony.
  • All guests who are not part of the wedding party—including immediate family—will be seated in the stands. For safety and preservation of the field, guests are not permitted on the field at any time. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
  • Please note that the protective netting surrounding the field is a permanent fixture and cannot be removed.
  • Candle ceremonies are not permitted on the field. Additionally, for the safety of all guests and to protect the field, decorations such as rice, bird seed, confetti, or loose flower petals are not allowed.
  • After the ceremony, the couple and bridal party will have one hour for photos at iconic ballpark locations: the dugout, Home Plate area, and along the warning track. (Access to the grassy outfield or infield is not permitted.)
  • A dedicated team member will be present throughout the ceremony and photo session to assist and ensure all ballpark guidelines are followed.

    Weather Note: While we always aim to host your ceremony at Home Plate, inclement weather may require moving indoors. This applies to both the ceremony and cocktail hour. Please note, ceremonies cannot be postponed or rescheduled due to weather, but our team will have a backup plan to ensure your celebration goes smoothly.

Home Plate ceremonies are bookable from April through the end of October.

To ensure all your guests can enjoy and hear your ceremony, we’ll provide access to the ballpark’s sound system at no additional cost. This allows your vows and any spoken elements to be clearly heard throughout the stadium seating area.
