Recommendations

party - An Eventective User from Ringgold, GA

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.

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.

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!

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.
