The Historic

more affordable options in the area but still so beautiful! So many guests complimented us and said it was one of the nicest weddings they've been to! I was very torn about what to do with our bridal party table since I wanted plenty of space for the dance floor, and we ended up doing it on the stage which worked out soo well! I was nervous about it, but we had the bridal party go through the buffet line first so we could finish eating first. Then the groom and I went down to greet the guests rather than them having to come to us, and a lot of people really liked that we came to them! I can't recommend The Church on Main enough! Beautiful, professional, affordable, and kind!

ped me with anything I needed. I loved this venue and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, intimate space in Chattanooga!

e staff is helpful and professional.

kind, and made everything so simple for me, which I could not have appreciated more! The ceremony could not have been more beautiful, and I got tons of compliments on how pretty the venue was, which also made for gorgeous wedding photos I get to keep forever! Overall, I would recommend The Church on Main to all of my friends for their next event!

ts want to continue the party - Probably the only negative thing I have to say about the venue is that the contract is for 8 hours and that is a STRICT 8 hours. If you go over after the reception or try to get in early, they will charge you for it. 8 hours is just not enough time for the amount of money that you pay for the space. - Plan on getting your own linens, they do have ones for rental, but stay away- they are not in good condition. - The staff are really very sweet and easy to work with as long as you are patient and stay on their good side. - They have all sizes of tables you can use and they have chairs available for all of the tables. - The layout of the space is very convenient for a buffet and has a little nook for your cake as well. I would absolutely recommend the Church on Main for any reception, wedding, or any other event.

ive throughout the planning process. Great venue!

efits and draw-backs to it being completely empty when you rent! We had to bring in quite a lot to really fill the space - some furniture, DJ/Booth, arch for ceremony doorway, etc. They have tables to use, which is nice, but I wasn't a fan of the chairs they have on site. We rented those, as well. Throughout the process, the Church on Main was fairly flexible. They were quick to answer questions through email or phone and happy to let us see the space throughout the planning process if they could. We ended up paying for an extra day prior to the wedding to set everything up as they are somewhat strict on the times you can be in the venue around the event. All rentals and such have to be loaded out the same night as the event, as well. The venue is in a cute little area of Chattanooga, but also in next to a residential area with homes and a fire station. I was first concerned with that, but they said they are usually very respectful if they know there is an event going on they won't immediately turn on their sirens! Never a had a problem with that and the location was so close to downtown! Overall, we loved being able to have our smaller wedding & reception (100 people) in the same venue! It was incredibly intimate and beautiful and a special memory we'll have forever!

. The woman we originally spoke with when we booked was super sweet and helpful, spoke to the owner for us and got better pricing on rehearsal dinner; but then at some point she quit; and no one ever told us. They hire outside help as coordinators, which we did not know until a week before when they contacted our event coordinator. Because of the late notice, she was uninformed about many things and, honestly, didn't do anything except for open the venue for us and "flip" the chairs and tables between the ceremony and reception, leaving me wondering what the staff fee of $200 was for. We also asked to meet with someone to look inside again and ask some questions two days before the wedding. The owner's husband was sent and knew nothing except for the technical stuff, wiring, the Apple tv's, etc, though he did seem to think it was good to tell a bride of all the things that have gone wrong at other weddings! Not good for any bride two days before her wedding and certainly not professional. Again, the venue was stunning, and we loved the place. We got so many compliments on how beautiful it was, but the staff was not easy to work with.

he church so guests don't see your reception being set up. The rate they gave us was excellent. The venue and caterer coordinated so I didn't have to worry about where anything would be. The venue also had wonderful vendor suggestions. I'm so glad I chose the Church on Main. It was beautiful!
