I had my wedding here in 12/15/12. I booked the venue about a year and a half before the wedding. The staff was wonderful for the year and a half. The week before the wedding they were not so nice. Rehearsal was horrible because I could not get into the ceremony space. I had to tell the guy working where to put everything even though I planned everything out prior with the manager. I had to ask another employee to get the first one working. The morning of the manager which was super nice during the planning got mean with me about coming in at 10am to decorate. They were mean to some of the wedding party especially the kids helping to decorate. In the middle of my reception the same staff member told me that my contracted time would be up in an hour. I had to have all my stuff out within the hour. He told my dj to pack up. We had to rush and guests had to help.
Words can't describe how happy I was to get married in such a beautiful place! Donna took care of everything & it was such an amazing, worry-free day!
We LOVED the train station for our reception venue. The staff is great to work with, and helped us get things set up as quickly as possible the day of. I have worked a side job as an assistant wedding planner for several years, and the train station is always my favorite place in Bristol due to the history associated with the building, the beauty of the architecture, and the friendliness of the staff. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun, affordable venue in the Tri-Cities Area!
Loved using the Bristol Train Station!! Beautiful space, a little narrow, but we were able to fit approx. 160 guests a DJ, dance floor, and buffet and had a bar outside!! Loved how it was right on the border of TN and VA! The historic building was also beautifully renovated! My only complaint is that there was a little disorganization with the building hosts on the night before. We were decoating and they werent present at the facility on time and didnt know where the linens and the cocktail tables were that were provided by the facility, but i think the hosts were teenagers and just werent well informed, but other than that the facility was and is wonderful! They provide tables and chairs and set up and clean up free of charge in the rental agreement and they are willing to work with you! Loved the train station and so did our guests!
A very beautiful location. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They set up and take down tables and chairs.
