The Press Room

rking with Avery who helped us through 9 months of planning, re-planning and reacting! (Covid19) We were absolutely blown away by the featured FLORIST, Lisa Foster, and the flowers surpassed our expectations as well! We chose to do a full, open bar and do not feel like we were taken advantage of at all in anyway pricing wise or service wise or portions! We felt like we got more than our moneys worth in every way. In fact, the Pressroom appears expensive when compared to other venues, but in fact offers exceptional quality and generous quantities and absolutely the best service I have ever seen at a wedding and this is our family’s third! Truly the event of a lifetime

ional and took care of everything for us so that us and our families could just enjoy the day!

eautiful lights. They have an awesome bridal suite for all the girls to get ready in. All of the vendors (Lisa foster florals, ogle entertainment, and white table) were incredible. The food comes from the same people that do Cafe 4 (if you’re from Knoxville you know it’s one of the best restaurants in town) so it was so delicious. The bartenders and all the staff were so attentive and made us feel like royalty. All of our guests raved about the food and service. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Press Room!!!

rstood, assured about my choices, and celebrated.

wedding venue or event space! You will not regret choosing them!!

and professionalism of all the staff, how good the food was, and the beautiful flowers from Lisa Foster and the linens from White Table. Thank you to everyone!! It was a perfect day to begin a new marriage with! Cindy C. (MOB)

lked me through all of the packages The Press Room had to offer, and I was super intrigued to find out that they were an "all inclusive" venue. It honestly sounded too good to be true, and I felt that same way when I met with Avery to tour the venue a few days later. I was just blown away! We viewed several other options and tried to imagine our perfect day, and pretty quickly decided that The Press Room was right for us. The beauty of the venue obviously speaks for itself, but Avery- who is the wedding coordinator- is truly what sold us in the end. We trusted her and felt comfortable with her instantly, and I can honestly say that she made our day SO much more special than either of us could have ever imagined. Leading up to the wedding could not have been more easy or stress free. Every single person on the team was so easy to work with- constantly reaching out to keep us updated on everything, and always available for absolutely any questions we had. I can honestly say that there was nothing for us to worry about. During the whole process, we were treated like royalty! The menu tasting, and the mixology consultation especially were two of our favorite parts of planning. On the wedding day, Avery was with us every step single handedly setting everything up. While we got ready in the gorgeous bridal suite, we were served coffee in the morning, and lunch and mimosas in the afternoon. We weren't able to have a rehearsal because there was an event the night before the wedding, but it honestly didn't matter one bit. Avery grabbed the whole bridal party and did a quick run through with them, and made sure everyone knew where they needed to be. The day flew by and when it was time for the ceremony, every single minute was perfectly executed. Probably the best surprise of the whole experience was Joel, our personal server for the wedding night. After the ceremony, my husband and I rushed off to take pictures around downtown. It was so hot outside, and out of nowhere Joel appeared with ice water and a car to help us get around and get back to the venue. He made sure our drinks were never empty, and that we had any and everything that we needed the entire night. I also have to mention the food; it was the best food I've ever had at ANY wedding, and I've been to a lot of them. Every single appetizer, every entree, and every side dish was served piping hot and could not have tasted better. The bartenders also kept drinks flowing all night, and did a great job taking care of our guests. Overall, I simply can't recommend this place enough. It was extremely affordable when you consider what you're getting, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that their team made everything SO easy. I did not feel stressed out one bit in the entire planning process. My husband and I both agreed that if we had to do it all over again, we would not have changed one thing. It's been just over a month, and our friends and family are still talking about the wedding and how it was just the best and most fun wedding any of them had ever been to. We may be biased, but we think it was the best wedding ever :)

ions perfectly. Definitely recommend!!!

nd or I lived there during the wedding planning process so it was so helpful. Everything went smoothly on the day of the wedding and so we could just enjoy ourselves with our family and friends.

covers everything you need for a beautiful wedding. The building is gorgeous with its historic architecture and unique lighting. Once it’s decorated with florals and linens, it becomes magical. The appetizers, dinner and adult beverages were amazing. They were so easy to work with and went above and beyond to meet all our needs. All of our guests loved everything and all had a wonderful time. On the day of the wedding, Avery and Savannah stayed on top of every small detail and waited on us as if we were royalty. It was absolutely perfect!

s is definitely the way to go!!! Avery, our wedding coordinator was amazing to work with and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. It was a practically stress free experience because the food, alcohol, DJ, flowers and linens are all included in one price and the vendors they work with are equally amazing. The food was great (at least that's what everyone tells me since we were so busy I can't remember anything about it even though our personal attendants made sure we had food and a drink in our hand at all times) My favorite part was meeting with the mixologist to custom make our two signature cocktails. We considered having our wedding and reception somewhere else and planning it all ourselves. I am so glad we didn't do that. Not only would it have been exhausting and stressful, but it would have cost much more and I am sure would not have been nearly as good.

hol, linens, florist and DJ. This made planning so much easier! Regarding those details: the venue again was beautiful and the gorgeous bridal suite and ability to hold the ceremony as well was a bonus, the food was delicious and our guests raved about it, the florist who was provided was Lisa Foster and she was AMAZING. The florals exceeded our expectations! The DJ, Tim through J2 kept the night bumping as well! Although we had a great wedding, the entire process was not seamless. We found that the wedding coordinator, while kind and helpful in person, had poor communication behind the scenes. Emails were not answered timely, our financials were estimated incorrectly for the wedding as well as rehearsal dinner (which was through their sister location- The Square Room), and communication was inaccurate to the chef who prepared a different chicken entree than we picked at our food tasting. This was disappointing because the food tasting is not complementary but at a charge. Overall we had a memorable, great day, but want to share our honest feedback for future couples!

n care of. We are so thankful to everyone at the Press Room who made our day so memorable.

fectly!

Unfortunately, someone else was looking at the date we wanted so I was pressured into booking without having seen the venue first, however, from the pics online everything looked great. The entire time I had booked the venue, no one reached out to me to begin the planning process for a wedding that was less than a year away. My fiancé and I decided to travel to go look at the venue by ourselves, since no one had reached out to us. I was very surprised to see the view out the front window and from their outside porch area was a dumpster with other debris. It wasn’t until after we had informed the venue that we were no longer needing their services did someone try and reach out to me about wedding planning. Would highly recommend looking elsewhere as we have spoken to much more helpful and accommodating venues in the Knoxville area.

with a patio area, we were able to have our cocktail hour outside before the reception and our guests could enjoy the beautiful fall weather. The drop lighting makes the ambiance seem like a dream :)
