Central Station Memphis Wedding Venue

Updated March 22, 2023 by Mid-South Bride Leave a Comment

Imagine have your wedding in a working train station that also hosts a funky hotel and gorgeous ballroom.

Memphis Central Station can make that dream a reality.

Built in 1914, the Grand Hall at Central Station Memphis was once the train station’s waiting room. Today, the restored ballroom features 33-foot ceilings and plenty of natural light perfect for weddings.

About Central Station Memphis

Central Station Memphis is both a working train station for the Chicago to New Orleans Amtrak AND a full-service hotel and wedding venue.

Central Station started operating as a prominent railroad stop for the Illinois Central Railroad in 1914, with over 50 arrivals and departures each day during its peak operation. Over time with the decline of the railroad industry, Central Station faced a period of hardship.

While trains stop by twice a day the historic venue has found new life in renovation as a hotel and event venue.

The venue features historic architecture from the historical train station days combined with contemporary design and services.

Today, Central Station remains an active train station as well as a hotel and event venue space.
