The Stables at Husk is a private dining and events area that is housed in our historic carriage house. This venue provides guests with the opportunity to participate in a unique and exclusive Husk experience. The Stables is a cozy ambiance that is perfect for any event because it has its own kitchen, bathroom, and patio that is separate from the main restaurant. The room is large enough to accommodate up to 16 guests for brunch service, 28 guests for a meal served at tables, or 30 to 35 guests for a cocktail party that is standing only. For parties with a size that exceeds the capacity of our private dining area, we are able to provide a buyout of the entire restaurant, including the main house. The Neighborhood Dining Group's Husk restaurant is changing people's conceptions of what it means to cook and dine in Nashville. In the heart of Downtown Nashville, in the neighborhood of Rutledge Hill, and only a few blocks south of Historic Broadway, is where you'll find it. The menu at Husk delves into a cuisine that is driven by the ingredients and begins with the rediscovery of heirloom items. At Husk, there are limitations placed on the types of foods that can be served on the plate. If it does not come from the south, it will not be able to enter the building. The end result is a cuisine that, rather than attempting to rediscover Southern cookery, investigates the authenticity of Southern food. The seed-saving, heirloom husbandry, in-house pickling, and charcuterie programs that Executive Chef Ben Norton and his culinary crew conduct at Husk are the foundation of the restaurant's cuisine.

The winery opened in 2009 and has been owned by Dawn and Scott Fallert since 2017, who have expanded it into a working vineyard, winemaking facility, and on-site brewery producing small-batch craft beer alongside handcrafted, brick-oven pizza.

Set inside a full-scale, ship-shaped building along the Parkway in Pigeon Forge, the Titanic Museum Attraction brings the story of the RMS Titanic to life through authentic artifacts and immersive, hands-on exhibits. The museum traces back to a 1987 deep-sea expedition to the Titanic wreck site, co-led by founder John Joslyn, whose 44 days and 32 dives at the wreck directly inspired the attraction. Visitors can walk a full-scale replica of the Grand Staircase, touch water chilled to the Titanic's iceberg-night temperature of 28 degrees, and take a turn in the boiler room's coal-shoveling exhibit. Beyond self-guided tours, the museum's Grand Staircase and dining spaces open up for weddings, vow renewals, proposals, and corporate gatherings, presided over in some cases by a costumed First Officer and supported by dedicated event coordinators. Corporate groups can also book the space for meetings, galas, presentations, and team-building events set against the museum's collection of artifacts and full-scale re-creations.

Set on the banks of the Tennessee River in downtown Chattanooga, the Tennessee Aquarium spans two connected buildings, River Journey and Ocean Journey, that trace the path of water from mountain streams to the open sea. Guests and their event guests can get up close to alligators, otters, and freshwater fish in River Journey, then cross into Ocean Journey for penguins, sharks, stingrays, and moray eels, all with views of the Tennessee River.

The Lupton Room, a 3,000+ square foot space in the River Journey building surrounded by sea nettle jellyfish and freshwater fish tanks, is equipped with AV and dimmable lighting and suits daytime meetings and luncheons.

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.
