About The Historic
The Historic is a wedding and event venue in Chattanooga’s Southside, in a former church built in 1904 and renovated as an event venue in 2012. Its approximately 4,800-square-foot main hall features original hardwood floors, exposed brick, wood beams, and vaulted ceilings. Couples can hold a ceremony and reception in the same location for up to 200 guests, or host a cocktail-style reception for up to 250. The venue also identifies Ceremony Spaces A and B, a bridal suite, lounge, loft, deck, and patio. The downstairs Temperance speakeasy, with antique furnishings, stained-glass accents, warm lighting, brick interiors, shuffleboard, and dartboards, is available on its own or as an addition to a Historic rental. Packages range from elopements and micro weddings to full wedding receptions and a total buyout. The venue lists tables and chairs, floorplan consultation and setup, Wi-Fi, accessible features, and parking among its offerings. Couples may use caterers approved by management who are licensed, insured, and full-service; alcohol must be served by a licensed and insured bartender. A full kitchen is available for caterers.
