Common House Chattanooga

Seriously--I can't say enough good things about Common House. The moment my husband and I saw the architectural renderings for the building restoration, we knew we'd be getting married at Common House. The staff is wonderful and attentive and excitedly called me "the bride" all weekend long. The food is some of the best I've ever had (especially at our tasting!). The variety of venue spaces accommodate every piece of your wedding schedule (rehearsal dinner in Pennybacker, getting ready in the Bridal Suite, ceremony and cocktail hour in the Garden, and reception in Ruby Hall). The ambiance is completely unmatched. The entire building and almost every corner in it is photo-worthy (seriously, this place is a photographer's dream). And then we have Rebecca, the events manager, who was so generous with her time and her attention leading up to our wedding. She was a well of helpful information and helped every bit of our vision come to life that weekend.

Common House makes wedding planning and wedding execution painless and easy because of its team, space, in-house bar/catering and things included in your rental fee that would otherwise be very costly (like the beautiful wooden tables and chairs in every space, rather than paying crazy cash for cheap plastic tables that require table cloths). I could go on forever. Can't say enough kind words about this place or its people or experiences there before, during, and even after our wedding!

My daughter's rehearsal dinner was held at Common House in the big room that used be a pool when the building was a YMCA site. The decor was stunning and the staff worked seamlessly with the flower vendor and band. The food was delicious and impeccably presented. The after party was also held outside at CH and that event was equally memorable and amazing. It was a lovely night!

Common House Chattanooga was the perfect venue for our wedding! The staff was second to none and made sure every guest was attended to. The event team also worked tirelessly with our wedding planner so that every detail was expertly curated. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at various event spaces within the venue and each space was just as beautiful as the next. The architecture of the building provided our photographer and guests with endless photo-ops. Common House also provided our catering through their onsite restaurant and our guests raved about the food! My husband and I stayed in the house the weekend of the wedding and the wedding suite was very spacious and beautifully furnished. Thank you Common House Chattanooga for helping make our wedding perfect!

The most beautiful venue. Staff is absolutely incredible. We got married here last Friday, had our ceremony and reception in the Garden Space and everything went flawlessly! We are so appreciative of Tony, Savannah, and the entire staff behind the scenes at Common House. Having everything all in one space was the deal maker for us, food was excellent, bar service was 10/10, we were able to get ready at the venue! It was truly incredible. Forever grateful for this team 🤍

My husband and I had very high expectations for our wedding weekend and I am happy to share that Common House exceeded them across the board. Everything about our three events came together seamlessly, largely due to the hospitality and hard work of everyone at Common House.

Our wedding weekend started with rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks on Friday. The rehearsal dinner on Friday was beautifully set and the food was phenomenal. We selected the family style option, which I highly recommend. The format makes the meal more interactive and it lets individuals take as much as they would like. There was more than enough food and the Common House staff was highly attentive to making sure everyone had what they needed. I forgot to inform Common House of two allergies before the rehearsal dinner and they accommodated both requests in real time (and both guests loved what they were served!). The welcome drinks took place in the Garden and the setting could not have been more perfect. Common House set up the fire pit and put out space heaters, and arranged the space in a way that worked perfectly for our ~100 guests on Friday evening.

On Saturday, our cocktail hour took place in the Garden before our ~130 guests headed upstairs to Ruby Hall for dinner and dancing. The reception was incredible because everything was taken care of, from the space set up to the drinks to the food. My husband and I cared a lot about having no lines at the bar, and Common House made sure to keep the bar moving quickly and having wine passed during Cocktail Hour. The food at our reception was also family style, which our guests loved. Everyone who came to the wedding commented on how good the food was. While we expected the food to be fantastic because we had eaten at the Common House restaurant, we were really pleased that the quality was just as high when served for 130 guests. Ruby Hall was an incredible space for dancing - we had a nine-piece band on the stage and we could not have had a better time dancing with our friends and family.

Our wedding weekend wrapped up with a brunch in the Garden on Sunday. The space set up and the food on Sunday was just as excellent as it had been on Friday and Saturday. The garden looked beautiful and the Common House staff made sure everything went smoothly.

Overall, we could not believe how much fun we had at our wedding. Thanks to the team at Common House, we felt cared for and we rest assured knowing every detail was in place to make it a huge success. We love Common House and cannot wait to celebrate more occasions in the beautiful space!

Common House Chattanooga is a wonderful venue indeed! It is located in a vibrant part of the city and the building itself has a beautiful character of its own. We used two spaces for our wedding accommodating our 238 guests - The Garden space for the cocktail hour followed by the reception in Ruby Hall. The staff were very attentive and accommodating not only throughout the planning process; but also, during the event itself. The food and beverage service and quality were impressive. Many thanks to all of the staff - especially Rebecca - for making it a beautiful evening for all in attendance.

I highly recommend Common House! My son’s rehearsal dinner was held in the Pennybacker Room at CH on 9/30/2022. Rebecca and her entire staff were simply awesome. Neither my son, his new bride, nor I currently live in the Chattanooga area. We worked with Rebecca remotely (I met with her once in person before the event). She went over every last detail with me and her recommendations were spot on. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. The staff is incredibly efficient and responsive. The food—oh my goodness—the food was simply delicious. I can’t think of a single criticism or complaint. I am so grateful that my son and his new wife selected CH as our rehearsal dinner venue. I’m not being paid to write this—know it sounds too good to be true—I’m just one very happy mother of the groom!!

Common House was everything I could have hoped for my wedding and more! From the planning process to the actual wedding—everything was so perfect. First of all the Director of Events, Rebecca is incredible. She was always so easy and fun to communicate with and I felt like I could trust her right off the bat.

We rented out all of the hotel rooms for the entire wedding weekend—something I highly recommend! It makes it feel like you are on vacation with all of your friends. We loved having breakfast at the Common House restaurant every morning and hanging by the pool. The entire staff was so kind and accommodating through the whole weekend which made the experience that much more special. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour in the Garden and the reception in Ruby Hall. Having everything at Common House made the whole day feel really seamless for the vendors, guests, and bridal party. Everything about Common House was immaculate, the interiors, the staff, the food, the vibes—chefs kiss! Everyone said it was the best wedding they had been to. If you're thinking about having your wedding here you truly will not regret it.

If you are looking for a sophisticated and very cool venue for your wedding, you need to look at the Common House in Chattanooga. The venue is in the city on the south side of town with plenty of wonderful hotels and Airbnb’s for your guest to stay. There are multiple CH spaces to choose from depending on your wedding size. I got married in the garden, transitioned to the Penny Backer room for cocktail hour and then to the Ruby Hall for the reception. The bridal suite exceeded my expectations and was such a wonderful place to spend the day getting ready. Rebecca at the Common House was super responsive throughout the entire process and made sure that on the day of our wedding everything was executed to the letter. The food is AMAZING and came out hot and delicious. All our guest were impressed with the Common House and could not believe the beautiful architecture and wonderful service.

Common House is the best venue for a wedding! We had our wedding there as one of the first in April 2021 - everything was flawless! The hospitality and treatment of our wedding party throughout the day was so wonderful. The Director of Events, Rebecca, stayed in close contact throughout our whole process and day to ensure everything went perfectly - and it sure did! They worked excellently with all our other vendors too, which made everything a breeze for everyone! The venue itself is to die for, and I was we could do it all again just so I could work with their team again! We love Common House and will always hold special memories with them!
