Gilman Event Hall: Wedding Venue Highlight

Gilman Event Hall is downtown Chattanooga’s newest wedding venue in the West Village. It’s a stunning former paint and varnish factory. In my opinion, the venue is what urban chic wedding dreams are made of!

Are you interested in Chattanooga’s newest venue for your big day? Here’s all you need to know!

Design Details

What’s not to love about an old factory turned wedding venue? Gilman Event Hall has kept original details from the early 1900’s Gilman Paint and Varnish company to provide a unique industrial backdrop for your big day. 

The factory details are still intact and include exposed brick walls, floor to ceiling windows, and beautiful hardwood. The windows let in beautiful light during the day and Chattanooga’s cityscape at night. These unique design details are throughout all three spaces at Gilman Event Hall. So no matter the size of your wedding, and which room you choose to host your wedding day, the character is seen throughout!

Client-Centered

Gilman Event Hall is full service, client-focused, and builds on the tradition established by the original paint and varnish company. They’re focused on their couples and recognize that everyone celebrates their wedding differently. Wedding artists are with you during each phase of planning from decor, to seating, to catering, and vendor recommendations. Needless to say, Gilman’s team is focused on your unique desires and are committed to bringing those desires to life!

All-Inclusive

Their experts are happy helping their couples create a unique one-of-a-kind day with their all-inclusive packages. I believe you’ll find that their packages accommodate any wedding price point. The menu options are both endless and exquisite, providing seasonal options with southern flair or vegetarian plates. Yum!

Just steps away is the Westin hotel, which is a great guest accommodation for out-of-town guests. The venue is walking distance from other Chattanooga attractions too. Just to name a few, guests can visit the Tivoli Theater, museums, and the Tennessee Aquarium when visiting for your celebration.

If you desire an impeccable setting, an attentive staff, and all-inclusive, affordable wedding packages, visit Gilman Event Hall, one of Chattanooga’s newest wedding venues. And if you’re in need of a wedding photographer who is familiar with the space, please reach out to me! 🙂
