The Evelyn Center at Crabtree Farms
1000 E 30th St, Chattanooga, TN
150 Capacity
$1,500 to $2,800 / Wedding
The Evelyn Center is the ideal location for your next meeting, fundraiser, wedding, baby shower, or small gathering. Situated only 10 minutes from downtown Chattanooga on a 22 acre community farm, you'll be delighted by the quaint charm of this unexpected green space. The main building features a high open beamed ceiling, rough wood walls, and a glass garage door that blurs the boundary between inside and outside spaces. For larger events, we also have a field shaded by nearby trees yet close enough to access the building.
Amenities include a fully stocked kitchen, community area, covered porch, two wheelchair accessible restrooms, and the surrounding grounds. The facility also features WIFI, a digital projector + 119" drop down screen, and tables and chairs for up to 75 guests. Plus, parking is a breeze with our onsite lot.
As a non-profit farm, proceeds from event rentals directly support educational programming for the community.
***Please Note: Events above 50 guests are indoor/outdoor events at the farm.

We rented the Evelyn Center on a Sunday and had the entire farm to ourselves. The Center itself was just what we needed for a family gathering. Communication with staff was top-notch. No hassles. The kitchen could use some updating perhaps, but this did not interfere with our picnic lunch, which we brought with us. The folding tables are a bit worn, so bring table cloths. Despite the cost, this was much better for a rendezvous family gathering, and we could stick around for a lot longer than we could have done at a restaurant. Highly recommended venue at a great nonprofit.
