About Southern Bell Events

We welcome you to experience the quaintness of a small town with the spaciousness of a century old venue to create your dream event. Crystal chandeliers and carefully chosen vintage décor provide inspiration and an upscale palette for today’s bride wanting something special to reflect her personal style. Built in 1920, the venue features original art deco exteriors with colored prism glass windows, interior twelve foot ceilings covered in beautifully restored pressed tin, and gleaming hardwood floors. A seventeen foot long antique store counter provides the perfect set up for serving food and drinks. The Southern Bell derives its name from the upper floor of the building where the Southern Bell Telephone exchange was located for several decades. We are pleased to be able to offer a beautiful, historic space for outdoor wedding ceremonies and other special events. In addition to weddings, our venue is also perfect for baby showers, engagement parties, gender reveals, birthdays, anniversaries, business events and rehearsal dinners. Please visit our website for additional information about our venue, and contact us to start planning your event!

Beautiful place to have a wedding or party! - An Eventective User from Lenoir City, Tennessee

I had my wedding here, and it was simply lovely. The venue is beautifully restored and has enormous charm and elegance. The owner and her daughter made sure that everything was perfect! Fabulous experience!

10/10 Recommend! The Perfect Venue! - An Eventective User from Rockwood, Tennessee

Such a beautiful place!! We had my sisters bridal shower here. Diane is phenomenal! Diane and her daughter made the event so easy for us! They decorated and set everything up. We only had to bring pictures! They took the stress out of having the shower. This was the best place that we have had an event at so far! Will definitely return in the future for events! 10/10 Recommend!!
