Proctor Farm is a 23-acre private wedding estate in Rome, Georgia, set within the foothills of the North Georgia Mountains. The property was originally built as a concert venue by owners Kathy and Michael Proctor, who hosted performances by members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Marshall Tucker Band, and Charlie Daniels Band on the grounds. Over time, the Proctors expanded the property into a full wedding venue, constructing dedicated ceremony and reception spaces that blend rustic character with vintage elegance. The estate offers four distinct event areas. The Outdoor Chapel is a permanent structure of stacked stone, timber, and stained-glass windows, lined with church pews for open-air ceremonies. The Indoor Chapel wraps eight 19th-century stained-glass windows around a warmly lit interior, entered by a cobblestone walkway past a fountain and evergreen landscape. The Banquet Hall seats up to 200 guests beneath crystal chandeliers. The Saloon — a converted horse barn — provides a stage, DJ stand, photo booth, dance floor, and a second-floor balcony, built on the same space where the Proctors once hosted live music. Each event is supported by Kathy Proctor as wedding coordinator and director, with Michael Proctor serving as sound engineer and designer. The venue hosts one wedding per weekend.

The Chattanooga Zoo is an AZA-accredited nonprofit zoo in Chattanooga, Tennessee, offering a fun and unique setting for corporate events, family days, weddings, and other celebrations. Alongside its animal exhibits, the zoo runs active wildlife rehabilitation and conservation programs and provides educational programming to thousands of children each year through field trips, camps, and outreach. For private events, the zoo offers a "Rent the Zoo" option that gives hosts access to the animals, a jungle-theme atmosphere, and a hands-on learning presentation delivered by zoo staff, so a host's role is largely limited to inviting guests and enjoying the party. The zoo also hosts birthday parties in its jungle-themed Zoo Birthday Party Room, located in the Education Center, with packages that include zoo admission, table and chair setup, and optional add-ons like giraffe feedings and carousel rides. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Chattanooga Zoo is supported by donations, memberships, and volunteers, and has earned recognition as a four-star charity from Charity Navigator and Gold Transparency certification from Candid.

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.

A 501(c)3 nonprofit that opened in 1992 as the centerpiece of Chattanooga's riverfront revitalization, the Aquarium continues to support freshwater conservation work through its research arm, the Tennessee Aquarium Conservation Institute.
