The Waymark Chattanooga, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, is an upscale wedding venue in the heart of downtown Chattanooga, TN. Housed in the historic 1927 Chattanooga Savings Bank and Trust Company building, our hotel blends outdoor-inspired style with timeless refinement to create a memorable setting for your celebration.
Couples and their guests are steps away from Chattanooga’s top attractions and local dining favorites. The Tennessee Aquarium, the Hunter Museum of American Art, and the Walnut Street Bridge are all just a short drive away.
The Iris rooftop, located on the 11th floor, offers sweeping city views and stands as Chattanooga’s tallest rooftop bar. It provides an unforgettable atmosphere for weddings and events of up to 175 guests. For a more intimate gathering, the original bank vault has been transformed into the Vault Speakeasy. Enter through the iconic vault door and enjoy a cozy, private space that features elevated service and expertly crafted cocktails. This lounge accommodates up to 40 guests. The hotel also offers 2,000 square feet of modern indoor event space for ceremonies, receptions, and pre-wedding events.
Your wedding weekend is made easy with on-site accommodations for you and your guests. Our comfortable rooms give everyone a place to unwind between celebrations, and we offer room blocks with exclusive discounted rates. Our team also partners with local venues to support destination weddings and ensure a seamless experience from start to finish.

An Unforgettable Celebration: Our Daughter's Dream Wedding at The Waymark Hotel
A 5-Star Experience from Start to Finish
We recently had the absolute pleasure of holding our daugh...
ter’s wedding and reception at The Waymark Hotel, and we could not have asked for a more flawless, magical experience. From the second we stepped foot on the property, everyone involved went above and beyond to make us feel extraordinarily special.
Exceptional Personal Service & Hospitality
What impressed us most was the incredible level of awareness and attentiveness across the entire hotel. Every single staff member knew we were there for the wedding or part of the wedding party.
Seamless Arrival: Even before we checked in, the valet team greeted us warmly and knew exactly why we were there.
Thoughtful Staff: The housekeeping team was just as mindful and welcoming throughout our stay.
Warm Atmosphere: Every staff member we passed in the hallways or lobby acknowledged us with genuine smiles and congratulations.
Beautiful Decor & Perfect Accommodations
The venue itself is stunning—elegant, sophisticated, and beautifully kept.
The Executive Suite: This was an absolute lifesaver for the bridal party! Designed perfectly for preparation, it featured two full bathrooms, a spacious living room, a dining table, and a private separate bedroom. It gave the bridal party plenty of space to get hair and makeup done, relax, and enjoy the morning together without feeling crowded.
Sophisticated Atmosphere: The decor throughout the event space created a polished, luxurious atmosphere for both the ceremony and reception.
Outstanding Food & Lively Bar Service
A wedding reception relies so much on great food and drinks, and the hotel exceeded all of our expectations:
The Food: Simply amazing! Our guests are still raving about how delicious dinner was.
The Bar Staff: They were spectacular! Beyond making great drinks, they were vibrant, interacting with our guests, and making the entire evening even more fun.
Seamless Vendor Coordination
The venue was already amazing, but the Waymark team made sure they had every corner of the hotel available for our photographer to get the perfect shots from the rooftop patio to the speakeasy in the Vault. Our vendors were able to easily put together our wedding look as the Waymark team was gracious with our vendors as they put together all of the beautiful final touches.
A Relaxed, Stress-Free Celebration
If anything went off-script during the day, we certainly didn't notice—the execution was that seamless. After the event was over, our daughter commented on how completely relaxed she felt and how much they truly enjoyed their wedding day. As parents, hearing that was the greatest gift of all.
If you are considering venues for a wedding, reception, or special event, do yourself a favor and go visit The Waymark Hotel. It will be well worth considering!
