As dinner concluded, the space underwent a remarkable transformation into a vibrant dance floor.

A Thoughtfully Planned Wedding & Expert Coordination

One of Ellie and Logan’s best decisions was hiring Jessi from Tennessee Valley Event Planning, who ensured the day went off without a hitch. Even when small hiccups arose—like running out of a few drink options after running out of whiskey during cocktail hour—Jessi and the couple’s family made quick runs to restock, proving that having the right team makes all the difference.

Ellie and Logan loved having a venue that allowed them to select their own vendors, making it possible to stay on budget while still bringing their wedding vision to life.

“We loved that The Venue Chattanooga wasn’t all-inclusive, so we could shop around for vendors that fit our style and budget. It was the best decision!”

Kind Words About Working Together

“Lara, you were absolutely fantastic! From the moment we first connected, you had everything organized. The timeline you provided months before helped me structure the entire day. You worked seamlessly with our videographer and together captured every single special moment. Your communication the day of was outstanding—you made Logan and I feel so comfortable behind the camera. You even checked in with me multiple times to make sure I was feeling good and ask my opinion on different shots. It was clear from day one that you are a professional and so talented at your craft. THANK YOU!!”
