Reviews of International Storytelling Center

My wife and I were incredibly pleased with the International Storytelling Center for both our wedding ceremony and reception. During our first tour of the place, we both fell in love with the beauty of it all. Jonesborough is already a lovely, quaint town. The ISC fits right in with the enchantment of the town.

The ISC gave us a lot of beautiful space for an affordable price!

The park provided a wonderful space for pictures and for our guests to walk around. There is also a gorgeous, rock staircase that leads to the park that is great for pictures. The courtyard is roomy. It provided enough space for us to do what we pleased ceremony and reception wise. Aesthetically, it added another dimension of beauty. We loved all the brick and the column entrance.

Inside the ISC was even more stunning than the outside. The big windows in the rooms added so much natural light. The rooms were spacious enough to accommodate our guests comfortably. My wife and I loved the balcony! It connects the two rooms from the outside and overlooks the town. We cannot say enough about how lovely the ISC was for our special day.

We cannot write a review without saying how great Jessica was during the process. She was attentive to our questions and needs, she recommended great vendors to us, and she made sure that we had everything we needed the day of. We were thankful for all her help.

I highly recommend those to choose the ISC as their venue for their special day! Our wedding was marvelous. We credit a lot of that to the International Storytelling Center's location, aesthetic appeal, and the staff.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
