Duck Club at Akron RubberDucks
The Duck Club at the Akron RubberDucks stadium
We recently had a rehearsal dinner/welcome party at the Duck Club prior to a family wedding. We were having a hard time finding a venue for our event reached out to the Duck Club a few months prior . Brian could not have been more helpful. Great communication via email, and a few phone conversations. We are not from the area and he made everything easy for us to plan.
The venue is in a great location in downtown Akron. The Duck Club has a great view of the ball park, and the weather allowed us to use the outdoor space as well.
With Brian's assistance we were able to have a slideshow and playlist going before the guests arrived.
Wide variety of food options, Brian helped us fine tune it for our group. They did a great job with the food setup, easy for everyone to grab and find a spot to sit down. All of our guests loved the ball park view.
The staff was very attentive and did a great job the entire evening.
I highly recommend the Duck Club for any kind of event.
Our daughter and future son-in-laws rehearsal dinner was held at the Duck Club. It was a perfect venue for a rehearsal dinner. It is spacious and had an outdoor patio we put games on. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious! We did a baseball theme menu which was fun! The sunset was gorgeous over the ballpark which just added to the perfect evening.

Located within 7 17 Credit Union Park is the Duck Club by Firestone, a unique venue for rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, wedding showers and other special occassions. Located in Akron, Ohio, the ballpark is home to the Minor League Baseball team, the Akron RubberDucks. The Duck Club is a private, climate-controlled event space overlooking the stadium and Downtown Akron. It combines the atmosphere of a ballpark suite with the feel of a modern banquet venue, making it especially attractive for rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, and wedding weekend gatherings.
Amenities include floor-to-ceiling windows, indoor seating plus an outdoor patio, flexible layouts with round banquet tables and cocktail tables, and built-in AV equipment such as microphones and TVs for slideshows or speeches. The Duck Club features a relaxed but upscale atmosphere that feels more memorable than a standard hotel ballroom or restaurant.
The baseball backdrop creates built-in entertainment and conversation, while catering is managed directly in-house with our chef-driven menus, allowing for seamless planning. Parking and downtown hotel access are convenient for out-of-town wedding guests.
