About this venue
The Hunter Museum of American Art is not only an incredible fine art museum, but also a top tier Downtown Chattanooga wedding and event venue. The museum sits perched atop a towering bluff face on the Tennessee River, offering 180 degree jaw-dropping views, unique to our venue. Also overlooking the Walnut Street Bridge, our modern facility provides the convenience of being within walking distance to many Chattanooga hotels and attractions. Book your tour today and see for yourself why we are one of the most sought after spaces in the city.
