    My husband and I held our wedding reception here and we could not have been more pleased with our choice! The museum staff was kind, helpful, and worked with us on every detail to make sure the day was perfect! We even got to choose which cars stayed in the museum and which ones were moved out for the dance floor. The space itself is beautiful and so so unique, I can say I have never been to a wedding venue that comes close. We also loved of course that the space was a family owned business and that it was so close to downtown Chattanooga
