I visited this venue for the 2016 WishBowl for Make A Wish. Really a great event and this location…read moreprovided a comfortable setting for the event. As for the event, how about a large silent auction, very nice live auction items including trips and beach packages, Whirlpool appliances and so much more. The top prize was the Honda Accord raffle. While your watching your bids you sit back and watch the Super Bowl, but not any Super Bowl. A Peyton Manning winning Super Bowl. The Venue is a great size for large gatherings and has the ability to expand. The pictures on this sight show the potential types of events and located at the base of Lookout Mountain, so easy access up the mountain for just minutes from downtown.

There is a very special place hiding along Broad Street waiting for your discovery. Most people…read morescoot from the Interstate right up to Lookout Mountain. Don't be like "most people". Your mother brought you up to be better than that. She taught you how to be alert. She was right. She was talking about rare finds like Stratton Hall. I attended a corporate meeting last week at "The Strat". The group totaled about 70 or so. We needed a stage, tables and space for eating, mingling and group photos. The Stratton Hall Venue has all of that. It's not much to look at outside, but stay focused until you get on inside. There is a single large space with a nice looking laminate floor and blacked out ceiling. The lighting is ample and not glaring at you from above like some predator in flight. The other two rooms are complimentary to the larger but with their own ambiance. The second is a third of the size of the larger space with elegant drapery and stylish in appointments. Right next to it is a room almost equal in size that is referred to as the Chapel. It's more versatile than that. It is a totally white space with chandeliers and accompaniments that make it appear to be more of a dreamscape. The comfort rooms are decorated nicely and there is a lounge that is elegant. Of particular note are the concierge services supplied by the customer service representative. She is attentive and ready to respond to pressing issues. So you should consider Stratton Hall for your event. You'll be glad that you did.

Soiree's made the entire wedding planning process and the day of the wedding SO EASY. From helping…read moredecide vendors, to creating the day of schedule, to executing a perfect wedding day, Casey and her team do it all. Casey is well connected within the wedding industry in Chattanooga and did a great job of lining up vendor options. We met to talk about what I wanted and then she made her recommendations of vendors and had me meet with several to decide. She set up the meetings and attended them with me to make sure to ask all the questions that I literally had no idea to ask. She helped create the day-of schedule and coordinated with all of the vendors on specifics. On the day of the wedding, everything went off perfectly (or if something didn't, it was handled and I didn't know about it- Awesome). Casey had one of her teammates, Hannah, stay with the bridesmaids all day and she helped steam bridesmaids dresses and kept us on schedule for the first look and pictures. At the reception, Casey and her team made sure we ate and adapted the timeline to the flow of the party, as needed. All we had to do was show up, have fun, and go where Casey told us to go when it was time for first dances, cake cutting, etc. We received a ton of compliments about our wedding day and I give all the credit to Casey and her team at Soiree's. They are very good and I highly recommend them.

I was extremely unimpressed with Soirees. Throughout the planning stage, we were constantly told…read morethat we were planning a "budget" affair though we ended up at about $40K for less than 80 people. Some of the recommended vendors did a wonderful job right within the cost that I had expected, while others charged an obscene price for virtually nothing. Soirees held out on many quotes until a week or so before the wedding so that we were in a crisis for what we needed and had to take what the vendors provided at any cost. As the parents of the bride, we were made to feel superfluous to the day, almost as if we were in the way. Many details that were promised for the day of never materialized, creating some uncomfortable situations for family members and guests, leaving the hosts extremely embarrassed. Surely someone in the Chattanooga area can provide a service that is superior to "Chattanooga's premier event planning company".

I recently used Scenic City Occasions for a wedding. Zach, the owner, responded quickly to emails…read moreand requests. He provided me with an info pack to fill out to customize our wedding with what we wanted and what we didn't and stuck to it. The uplighting he provided as part of the package really made the venue look nice. He and his staff were ahead of schedule to make sure all sound checking was complete before guests began to arrive. He kept the party lively and did an overall great job for our "big day." I would definately use Scenic City Occasions again for my DJ needs.Thanks, SCO!!
