Suzanne and Ellie were so amazing my wedding day. Such a unique venue with great space and a great price!

The Emporium was perfect for my wedding! It was gorgeous and spacious and very wallet friendly, which is a huge plus. Suzanne, who helped me set everything up, was insanely accommodating and kind. I would recommend anybody to rent the Emporium for their wedding day! You will not regret it!

This venue was a fantastic choice for our daughter's wedding day. Everything was beautiful! This place was very affordable and the atmosphere was a great fit. Very little decorating was necessary. Also, the staff was phenomenal to work with even though Covid restrictions made things a little more difficult. Thank you Emporium!

We loved the Emporium, it is a great way to support the Knoxville art scene as opposed to just another wedding venue. It's extremely economical (per hour pricing) and the staff was very responsive and answered my questions even as an out of state couple. They were flexible to adjust our contract/hours even up to day of and refunded time we didn't use. Would recommend to anyone looking for a unique and modern space, under ~100 guests, for a great price.

Unique venue, great staff and absolutely beautiful interior for receptions and weddings. Thank you, Suzanne, for helping us through the process and for always being so open in communication. I would encourage anyone to look into the emporium!

We held our wedding and reception at The Emporium on 6/22/19, and it could not have been more perfect! I was worried the venue was going to be too small (we had around 100 guests) but we had TONS of space. We were able to have our bar, dinner buffet, 8 dinner tables, a DJ booth and 120 chairs for the ceremony all set up simultaneously. Suzanne was so helpful throughout the planning process and very quick to respond to my emails. She allowed us to change our ceremony date AFTER we signed our contract with no problem. The week of, I panicked that I didn't rent the venue for long so enough, so she let me add 2 additional hours. To top it off, our wedding coordinator was able to get the venue cleaned up and turned back over before the time on our contract, so Suzanne gave us back part of our rental fee ( very nice surprise!) I highly recommend!

We had our wedding here at the end of May and I couldn’t ask for a better experience. Price is great, space is great, and it is so beautiful on its own so you barely have to decorate!

We hosted a reception for around 150 people earlier this month. The staff was great to work with. The historic building is a beautiful backdrop for photos and the artwork provided an interesting and enriching experience for our guests. Our event coincided with fiber arts and photography exhibits - beautiful!! Very affordable as well.

Space is huge, well lit and taken care of. The art changes every month.

We had our wedding at the Emporium in February and absolutely loved it! Our pictures turned out fantastic...the old downtown buildings really make for fantastic photos. The value of the venue is insane...if you're looking for a venue near downtown or the old city, you really can't beat the Emporium. We managed to have a ceremony and seated reception for 150 people. We had to get creative, but Suzanne really helped by giving input and answering questions. We had exactly what we wanted at a fraction of the cost...even The Standard down the street isn't this affordable. Guests commented about the beauty of the building, and I have to agree. You can't beat the gorgeous hardwood and exposed brick! There are amazing locations all around for pictures..due to rain most of our pictures are inside. Seeing them now, I wouldn't want it any other way!
