Chattanooga Event Center is a new venue available to rent for business meetings, weddings, parties and other gatherings. The venue is hosting a Grand Opening Halloween Party Oct. 27.“We wanted to do a big family-friendly party – something to bring the entire family to with something everyone can enjoy,” said Tabitha Vandergriff, operations assistant for the event center.
The center is a new business venture for Matt Vandergriff, a TVA lineman and U.S. Army vet who also owns Chattanooga Butter Company.
Since early 2015, he’s been using a rented commercial kitchen space to make his small-batch, grass-fed gourmet butter, blended with coconut oil, without any processed fillers. Knowing there are only a few of such spaces in town – none of which are in the East Hamilton area – the event center’s fully equipped commercial kitchen was one of the main reasons he decided to purchase the business, which was previously Urban Grind Cafe. He plans to rent out the kitchen space at competitive prices, Tabitha Vandergriff said. The event venue portion of the business will be available to rent as well, for weddings, birthday parties, office meetings and other types of gatherings, and renters are welcome to bring their own food. Or, they can use the Vandergriffs’ catering service at a discount.
