Step away from the traditional conference room and gather in the welcoming surroundings of The Magnolia Inn.
Our private meeting room rentals are designed for small business meetings, board discussions, planning sessions, interviews, nonprofit gatherings, book clubs, and other professional or community meetings. Guests enjoy a distinctive historic setting in downtown Clayton without the scale, expense, or formality of reserving the entire inn.
Private meetings may be hosted in either the Grand Parlor or Dining Room, depending on availability, group size, inn occupancy, and other scheduled activities.
Both rooms are offered with their existing furnishings and require no custom setup. The Magnolia Inn will determine the most appropriate room for your gathering.
