Chattanooga, Tennessee

Over thirty years of celebrations


From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, our dedicated team transforms your vision into a seamless, unforgettable experience.

54 Events & Planning is a small team with deep roots in the Tennessee Valley. We plan the day, cook the food, arrange the flowers and pour the drinks — which means fewer vendors to chase and one number to call when something needs answering.

We have worked barns, backyards, church halls and country clubs. Whatever the venue, the job is the same: make the day feel effortless for the people living it.

What We Do

Weddings are what we’re known for, not all we do


Birthdays, corporate events, retirements, showers and memorials — the same planning, catering, florals and bar service, sized to the occasion and to your budget.

  • 01

    Wedding Planning

    From “Yes!” to “I Do,” we handle every detail. Full-service wedding planning, day-of coordination, and everything in between to ensure your big day is flawless.

  • 02

    Private Parties & Celebrations

    Birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, showers and graduations — we create memorable experiences for life’s cherished milestones.

  • 03

    Corporate Events

    Elevate your brand with professional event planning for conferences, galas, product launches, and team-building events.

  • 04

    Memorials & Celebrations of Life

    Receptions and luncheons arranged with care, and at short notice when a family needs them. We take care of the food and the room so you can be with the people who matter.

  • 05

    Event Design & Styling

    We specialize in crafting breathtaking themes, decor, and experiences tailored to your style.

  • 06

    Catering & Bar Service

    From grazing tables and plated dinners to a full barrel bar, we handle the food and drink in-house — no outside caterer to coordinate. Menus are built around your budget, not the other way around.

  • 07

    Drop-Off Catering

    Trays delivered ready to serve, set up and left with you — nothing to return. The most affordable way to feed a crowd when you don’t need staff on site.

  • 08
