Elegant & Classy Wedding Experience

I had the privilege of working with the Lookout Mountain Club for a wedding in the 2025 season. The staff here is the dream team, from catering to organization to taking care of every little need. They are kind and attentive, and it was a joy to work alongside them. 5 stars from Siena Marie Photography!

Best Wedding Venue

As a wedding vendor for floral design and coordination, the Lookout Mountain Club always exceeds expectations. The staff and managers go above and beyond to make all requests a reality for any event. Shanelle Pizzini, catering director, works hard to ensure all aspects of the event are perfect. She is available during the entire event and always steps in to assist. She works with the bride/groom/family/coordinators to assure the event (wedding or rehearsal dinner) is always an amazing success.

Fantastic Experience!

Shanelle went above and beyond to make our event, The Chattanooga Owners Club a success. We had 120 attendees, and everyone was taken care of with amazing care and promptness. The club was able to accommodate some last minute needs, and was always helpful. I can't recommend having an event at LMC enough.

The Perfect Venue

Shanelle went above and beyond for our clients wedding. Due to unforseen circumstances, we were looking for a new venue 2 weeks before our clients wedding and Shanelle did everything in her power to make it happen. Her team was lovely and was so supportive. Could not have chosen a better vendor experience!

Delicious and beautiful view

We had an exceptional experience with the team for a large group luncheon (80 guests). Shanelle assisted with menu selection to offer the best value, and the food received rave reviews from our guests. The team members were accommodating, timely and friendly with our guests. They also staffed appropriately for our event. It was fantastic!!

To say Shanelle went above and beyond is an understatement. We were there for a car tour event, all the guests were in open cars and the rain began. Two guests returned drenched. While Club clothing was a mile away, Shanelle quickly found t-shirts in her office that she gave our water-logged guests. She was a lifesaver!! While this may never happen to anyone else, it shows the level of southern hospitality offered by The Lookout Mountain Club.

And there are no words to describe the beautiful view!!

We highly recommend!!

Best Experience Ever!

We had our wedding here, and it was amazing. They were very up front with pricing, accommodated nearly all of our requests, and were quick to get back to us when we had questions. The biggest issue was really just weird - we were denied drinks at our rehearsal because we are not members of the club. Though that left a bad taste in our mouths, everything else went flawlessly. Would definitely recommend!

Fairytale Wedding Dreams Delivered

The Lookout Mountain Club was the perfect venue for not only the wedding reception but the ceremony and cocktail hour also. The dream was to create a Fairytale wedding, and the LMC staff lead by Shanelle exceeded all expectations. The grounds for the ceremony were groomed, the poolside cocktails provided spectacular views and the exquisite ballroom was the perfect setting for a delicious dinner and non-stop dancing. We've had so many compliments on the overall experience, food quality and spectacular setting. Book Lookout Mountain Club and let your dreams come true too!

Beautiful Golf Club venue!

Shanelle at Lookout Mountain Golf Club was a joy to work with from the very first phone call. She was so pleasant, encouraging, flexible and willing to try to meet all of our needs. She helped to work within our budget and it was such a beautiful event. The staff were so professional and friendly and willing to help take care of the smallest details. We had my daughter and son-in-laws reception at the Golf Club and had about 100 people. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner buffet after a cocktail reception and plenty of dancing with a DJ! The grounds and building were beautiful and the 360 mountain and valley views were amazing. They were both Covenant College grads and you could see the college from the venue. The set up was perfect as once the dancing started in the bar area, the non-dancers could stay in the dining room slightly offset of the bar area or enjoy the patio outside! We had so many compliments and it was a perfect venue for mixing and mingling with friends and family of all ages. Thank you Lookout Golf Club and Shanelle and your team for helping to provide such a memorable and special evening!! Highly recommend!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
