Chattanooga Rotary Club , President - An Eventective User from Chattanooga

Our club wanted to have a surprise party for one of our staff members. We needed a place that could handle our group and within our price range and time frame. Coker meet all the requirements and then some. All that plus a great collection of cars and motorcycles. Can't wait to plan another event there. Staff was fantastic too.

Birthday Party - An Eventective User from Chattanooga, TN

We had an adult birthday celebration at The Coker Museum with around 100 guests. It was absolutely fabulous. Dee did a fantastic job. Gino was a tour guide for the guest as well. I would highly recommend Dee and The Coker Museum for your upcoming party!

This was the best experience I have had. Dee was absolutely wonderful and great to work with. She was with me the whole way and even on the day of the event, she was right there to make it the best experience possible.

High School Prom! - An Eventective User from Chattanooga, TN

We could not have found a better venue for our high school prom. The kids were in awe of the venue with all of the special features. There was plenty of space for dancing, resting, and eating. We loved having a kitchen to hold our items and different seating/tables for our students. The faculty was very wonderful to work with and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone wanting something different and beautiful for any type of celebration.

Management Response
It was a joy working with you, your staff, and the kids. Thank you for allowing us to share such a fun experience.
A Wedding To Remember - An Eventective User from Murphy North Carolina

I wish I had better words to describe how much I loved this venue as well as the outcome of our wedding. Our Facilitator Dee was beyond phenomenal and helped me with so much of the process along the way of planning my wedding. We had a wonderful turnout and an amazing set up. Even working around our time delays and hiccups (everything from our food being late to a dog crashing the ceremony), the event was a resounding success! All of our guests loved being there and taking pictures with the cars. I cannot recommend this place enough! 5 Stars, 10 out of 10; If you're anywhere near the Chattanooga Events Center, this is a must see.

Management Response
I loved working and celebrating with you! You were a beautiful bride! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of the start of your new life with your hubby! You are amazing and I cannot express how great it was to work with you! I cannot wait to see you again!
Wonderful Meet N' Mingle at the Coker! - An Eventective User from Chattanooga TN

What a great location to hold a mix n' mingle event with heavy appetizers and cocktails! The setting is magical, even if you aren't a fan of really expensive and rare cars, motorcycles, and even planes! The staff is superb - Dee and Kindall were great to work with as were the police officers who provided security. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Management Response

Human Resources Manager - An Eventective User from LaFayette, GA

We had our Corporate Christmas party at Coker Museum and it was fantastic. The atmosphere, the quality of service during the event and the event coordinator were outstanding. The event was all inclusive for us which allowed our team to sit back and enjoy the entire event. I would highly recommend this venue for any event that you may be planning!

Surprise birthday party - An Eventective User from Chattanooga, TN

Unique and clean venue in downtown Chattanooga. Dee Twomey and Kindall were fantastic! They referred bartender services, band, caterer and spirits provider. Stage accommodated live 7 piece band. Every attendee loved the venue. I would encourage anyone to check into this for any special occasion.
