Maker Exchange

Maker Exchange is a downtown Knoxville venue offering a range of settings for weddings, private celebrations and business events. Located beside World's Fair Park, it combines indoor rooms with outdoor options and provides views of the park and the Knoxville Museum of Art. Event organisers can choose a space to suit the size and style of their gathering, from an intimate dinner to a large reception or business retreat.

The Assembly is the largest option, with a ballroom that can be arranged for different event formats and adjoining pre-function areas. The Gallery offers a more contemporary setting with full-length windows and access to an outdoor patio. For smaller gatherings, organisers can consider The Curio, an art-filled semi-private space, or the patio itself. The Tavern is available for private dining, while The Den provides a relaxed setting for informal get-togethers, with games including billiards, shuffleboard and foosball.

Wedding options include ceremony and reception settings, as well as space for rehearsal dinners. The venue also welcomes business events and meetings, and its event team can help organisers plan the occasion. An in-house culinary and catering team works with clients on food and drink for their event. Venue arrangements and event policies cover practical details such as room setup, tables and chairs, linens, outside suppliers and audio-visual equipment.

Maker Exchange also brings together a coffee shop, bar and restaurant, and a display of work by local makers. These elements add character to the surroundings and offer guests places to gather before or after an event. Its range of room sizes, catering support and dedicated event enquiry service make it a flexible choice for organisers planning an event in central Knoxville.
