The Dares have owned Knox 150 since January 2023!
The Dare’s - Jacque & David are the owners of Knox 150!
Jacque is the Knox County Coroner, but the main face of the venue. She’s the one you most likely chat with and schedules all of the events. Jacque is the main event coordinator. She’s the best boss you’ll ever have!
David is our behind the scenes guy - you might never see him during your event, but if we need something, he’s there to help!
The Arthur’s - Brianna is the girl behind the scenes (or screens), she’s in charge of the social media, as well as the assistant coordinator. She also jumps onto the messenger when there might be a question about a package or theme idea.
Zac is another behind the scenes/handy man. Have a large arch or need 10 giant tables moved? He’s our guy!
We are so excited for this next wedding season & can’t wait to help you with your future event or wedding!

Where should I start? My sister booked this venue for a Celebration of Living event as she was battling cancer and wanted to see all of her friends and family to celebrate her still being with us. Unfortunately she lost that battle so the Cele...
bration of Living turned into a Celebrations of Life memorial. Jacque was phenomenal throughout the whole process and executed my sisters vision to perfection. I cant say enough good words for her kindness, compassion and extraordinary skills at making the venue shine and light up to reflect my sister. Don't hesitate to book this venue!
