This venue was recommended by a friend who worked for a wedding caterer in the area (who we ended up using). They said it was an ideal set up for vendors. We also loved that (based on our wedding size) we didn't have to move seating around between the reception and ceremony sides. There is a space on site for both the bride and groom to get ready, ample parking for guests across the street, in downtown Knoxville, all the guests in one room and no tables/chairs of guests being taken away for the reception/dancing. I was able to avoid all the annoying things that can happen to a guest at a wedding. I also loved the aesthetic of the building/space. You are able to make it however you want, make it more etherial with draping, embrace the darker mood, or balance with greenery and white for a balance of feminine/masculine like we did. I would choose this venue again and again. 10/10 recommend. And Mary Beth was awesome to work with on visiting the venue multiple times, and having to go back the next day to pick up a piece of rented equipment that was accidentally left.

Can’t say enough great things about the Standard! It was the most perfect venue for my December wedding! The bridal and groom areas were also great. Easy to work with!

Super awesome! Super flexible! Kinda expensive, but totally worth it!! It's important to pay for quality and with the Standard, you get it!
