Our Story
Originally built in 1904 as a church, The Historic Venue has been a part of the downtown wedding venues in Chattanooga TN for over 100 years. After renovations in 2012, the church entered a new era as a premier event venue, continuing its legacy as a timeless space for gathering and celebrating. Today, The Historic hosts weddings, dances, soirees, galas, and other celebrations, with each event adding to its vibrant history.
Our Venue
The Historic offers approximately 4,800 square feet of original hardwood floors, exposed brick, and wood beams eventuating beautiful vaulted ceilings. This space can make for a modern industrial backdrop or vintage feel and won't fail to create a warm, unique, and gorgeous event. The venue can host 200 for both a wedding and reception in the same location. A cocktail-style reception can accommodate up to 250 guests. Our venue is not hard to spot. Driving down Main Street, you can see the beautiful arched front patio, bridal suite tower, and flowers surrounding our sign.
Temperance
Underneath The Historic lies a new event space perfect for ducking away from the crowd. Temperance, our prohibition-style venue, can be rented in addition to The Historic or on its own. Learn More.

Testimonials
"We stumbled on The Historic when my daughter was looking for a wedding venue. She fell in love with the castle-like exterior and the brick interior. It was the perfect canvas for the speak-easy vibe she was wanting to create. We signed on and they were easy to work with. Brenna especially was incredible to work with! It means a lot when your vendors walk the walk with you and do their best to help you create the perfect wedding day! This is exactly what Brenna did for us! I can't say enough good things about Brenna and The Historic! They helped to make my daughter's wedding an unforgettable day!" - Shannon Howd
