Eloping doesn’t mean sacrificing style or meaning. In fact, a well-planned elopement can be every bit as stunning—and far less stressful—than a full-scale wedding. If you’re dreaming of a day that’s intimate, effortless, and incredibly chic, there’s no better place to say “I do” than The Historic, Chattanooga’s most iconic elopement venue.
A Stylish Space That Speaks for Itself
Housed in a beautifully restored 1904 building in Chattanooga’s Southside, The Historic blends century-old charm with stunning contemporary accents. With original hardwood floors, exposed brick, and soaring ceilings, it’s a space that feels elevated but grounded, perfect for couples who want a ceremony that’s simple yet stunning.
You won’t need much décor to make your elopement shine. The space itself is a statement.
Perfect for Just You Two (Or a Few More)
Elopements are personal, and The Historic makes room for whatever that means to you. Whether you’re envisioning a quiet exchange of vows with just the two of you or a small gathering of close family and friends, the venue offers flexible options to match your vision.
Our Micro Wedding package is perfect for Chattanooga elopements, offering just the right amount of space, time, and support—without the extras you don’t need.
Planning to celebrate afterward with a few drinks or a cozy reception? Temperance, our moody, speakeasy-style lounge, is available to rent as an add-on space. It’s just steps away and ideal for an after-party or private toast with your closest people.
Beautiful Backdrops, Inside and Out
Every couple deserves stunning photographs from their wedding. With both indoor and outdoor vignettes, The Historic offers a variety of backdrops for your photographer to play with.
From sun-drenched windows and textured brick to romantic staircases and cozy corners, every shot feels cinematic. Want a sneak peek? Browse our gallery to see how other couples brought their vision to life here.
And since you’re in the heart of Chattanooga’s art-forward Southside, post-ceremony portraits on the surrounding streets add extra flair without the need to travel far.
Walkable, Downtown Location for an Effortless Celebration
Located off of Main Street, The Historic is just steps away from some of Chattanooga’s best dining, photo ops, and boutique shops and lodging.
