Located at the beautiful and historic estate of rock icon Elvis Presley, Graceland Exhibition Center is an 80,000 square foot facility with one 20,000 square foot (200 x 100) stage and two 10,000 square foot (100 x 100) stages. Each space has a clear height of around 32 feet, with between 40 and 50ft column spacing, and each stage has its own 20 x 16 foot roll-up door, and a grid of 110v house power ports in the floor every 30 feet. The carpet tile flooring helps to dampen sound and is resilient to forklift and aerial lift traffic. All the stages are connected to the 40,000 square foot lobby, a flexible space that can be used for catering crew meals and fitting background actors during shooting, and has also served as a temporary stage space for swing sets. 

The Soundstage at Graceland is another 20,000 square foot stage with clear span throughout the space, which can be used for swing sets or as a shooting location in between concert bookings at the venue. 

Additionally, Graceland features standing sets from the CMT series "Sun Records" and the Hallmark movie "Christmas at Graceland". Period Replicas of THE INTERIORS OF Sun Studio, WHBQ Radio, and the Piano Room at Graceland Mansion are housed in a 10,000 square foot exhibit space next to the Soundstage.

Graceland's central location is also a time and money saver with its close proximity to downtown, the Memphis Airport, and the rest of the Memphis area

Along with their expansive secure campus and acres of gated parking, a four diamond 450-room luxury hotel and resort, and the legendary hospitality of their world-class staff of professionals, Graceland is truly unrivaled as the premier studio venue for film and tv production in the Mid-South.
