About The Turnbull Building
The Turnbull Building is an adaptive reuse of a historic warehouse loft in downtown Chattanooga, with event space on its third and fourth floors. The two floors provide 10,000 square feet in total, with natural light, exposed brick, original wood beams, and hardwood floors. Wedding use can include ceremonies, receptions, and rehearsal events, subject to scheduling and rental arrangements. The third floor accommodates a seated reception for 150 or a standing reception for 250. It includes a prep kitchen, restroom facilities, and a private dressing room suite. The fourth floor accommodates a seated reception for 250 or a standing reception for 300, and has a storage closet that can also serve as catering prep space and a small accent loft. A venue manager assists after booking and is present on the event day; the venue requires a licensed caterer and bartender and an event planner or on-site day-of contact. The rental period begins at 11 a.m. for vendor access, with setup, the event, and breakdown completed by 11:59 p.m.; additional hours may be purchased. Parking includes seven reserved building spaces, with street and paid public parking nearby. Tours are by appointment.
