Perched atop the Republic Centre — Chattanooga's tallest building — The Walden Club is a private city club founded in 1975 by a group of local business and community leaders who envisioned a place of great food, personal service, and sky-high views of the city. From the outset, the club broke with the exclusionary norms of its era, welcoming members "without consideration of their race, sex, creed, or long local lineage." Today the club serves its members' social and professional life in equal measure, hosting everything from quiet luncheon meetings and small intimate dinners to large formal private parties and dances. Four distinct rooms give it that range: the grand Ballroom for weddings and galas, the Riverview Room overlooking the Tennessee River and Signal Mountain, the contemporary Tavern for cocktail-style gatherings, and the more intimate Tennessee and Forest rooms for private dinners and smaller functions. Members and their guests also have access to full dining service, with lunch and dinner offered several days a week, all set against panoramic views of downtown Chattanooga, Lookout Mountain, and the Southside Historic District.

Balinese Ballroom occupies a building constructed in 1876 in Memphis's historic Pinch District, restored to showcase its original industrial character — exposed brick walls, wood beams, and tall arched windows. The Pinch District preserves a concentration of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century buildings that once housed the city's early commercial and residential life, giving the venue a backdrop with genuine history rather than a manufactured one. The venue offers three distinct spaces that can host events independently or together: the Downstairs Ballroom, with white-painted brick, a draped ceiling, and gold crystal chandeliers; the Upstairs Ballroom, with exposed brick and ceiling, tall windows for natural light, and Edison-bulb string lighting; and the High Point Ballroom, featuring a sunken wooden dance floor, disco ball, and a 28-foot wooden bar. Each space includes its own separate bar area and can accommodate ceremony, cocktail, or seated reception formats, allowing couples to host a ceremony and reception in the same building without changing venues. Every rental includes tables, black folding chairs, white linens, setup and breakdown, cleanup, a doorman, and free parking across three on-site lots. The venue also provides full in-house catering and bar service, with customizable menus built to accommodate dietary restrictions.

Located in Downtown Memphis's historic South Main Arts District, the Jack Robinson Gallery is a rustic, urban event venue set against the backdrop of Jack Robinson's vintage photography. Robinson, born in Meridian, Mississippi in 1928, built a celebrated career shooting for Vogue, The New York Times, and Life before an extensive archive of his negatives — featuring subjects from Andy Warhol to Joni Mitchell — was discovered after his death. His friend Dan Oppenheimer founded the gallery to preserve and showcase that legacy, and today the space doubles as a photography exhibition and a private event venue. The gallery spans two floors and more than 2,500 square feet. The downstairs area suits smaller gatherings — ceremonies, birthday parties, rehearsal dinners, and photo shoots — while the upstairs ballroom accommodates larger receptions, galas, and corporate events. Rentals include use of the gallery's tables, chairs, sound system, and moveable bar, with the vintage photographs providing a distinctive backdrop throughout.

The Pink Palace Mansion & Museum occupies the unfinished dream home of Clarence Saunders, founder of the Piggly Wiggly grocery chain, whose distinctive pink marble facade gave the building its enduring nickname. After Saunders lost the property to bankruptcy, the mansion was given to the city of Memphis in the late 1920s and has since grown into a museum of Memphis and Mid-South history, with a multi-story expansion added in 1975 that introduced a Giant Screen Theater and planetarium alongside the original building. That mix of formal historic rooms and modern museum spaces gives the venue an unusually wide range for private events, from the elegant Mansion and its Ballroom to the Mezzanine, Giant Screen Theater, AutoZone Planetarium, and Deep End Theater. Weddings, corporate events, private screenings, galas, and educational gatherings are all hosted on-site, with options suited to intimate parties as well as large celebrations, and a full facility buyout available for the biggest events. Every rental comes with support from a dedicated Special Events Coordinator, along with tables and chairs, use of the on-site catering kitchens, and free on-site parking. Renting the Mansion also includes two private getting-ready suites, one on each side of the building, for wedding parties preparing before the event.
