The venue was perfect for our beauty and the beast themed wedding! The director of sales was so helpful from start to finish? She communicated everything before the day, was available on rehearsal day and understanding when I wanted to do a run through like 10 times LOL. The day of the wedding was perfect and more than we could’ve ever asked for! My mom did all the decorating and catering and the tremont was there to help every time she needed! It was the most magical day a bride could’ve ever asked for

When we were deciding on a venue we looked at several places in and around Knoxville we found two very common themes - barns and warehouses. While many of the locations we looked at were beautiful we wanted something fun and unique, which is how we found Zoo Knoxville. We knew that it would allow for a once in a lifetime memory for ourselves and our guests, and boy oh boy it did not disappoint. We held our ceremony in front of the elephants, the cocktail hour was in the treehouse near the gibbons, and our reception was in their event tent near Kid's Cove. The Zoo was great to work with from the beginning to the end, we had a team of coordinators to work with and they had their own catering/bar service so it was on stop shop. I can't recommend Zoo Knoxville enough if you want a unique wedding experience that your friends and family will be talking about, this venue is for you. Plus it's somewhere we can easily go back to relive all of our memories.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ramble Creek is not only incredibly beautiful, it also has the best staff you could possibly find. The team here made my wedding planning virtually stress-free, and they made the actual day an absolute dream! AND for the vast amount of services they cover (floral, catering, cakes, officiants, and more) it is remarkably affordable. As a queer couple, my wife and I were anxious about finding a venue and other vendors in Tennessee that would happily meet our wants and needs, and this team did so with true joy and support. We are so thankful to have had such a positive and uplifting experience. You will truly not be able to find a better venue in all of Tennessee (and honestly probably the whole country)! I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I can't say enough wonderful things about The Vineyard at High Holly and the amazing owners, Leslie and Eric. My wedding was truly perfect, despite the unexpected arrival of Hurricane Helene! From the very beginning, Leslie and Eric went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly, even as the storm approached. They made adjustments on the fly, ensuring that all of my guests were safe and comfortable while still creating the dream wedding I had envisioned. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views that made our ceremony unforgettable. The attention to detail, the warmth, and the hospitality were unparalleled.

From the moment we started working with Emma at Castle Ladyhawke, we were impressed by their quick, efficient, and warm communication style. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with an authentic, charming feeling that made our wedding day feel truly special. The food was fantastic and despite complications it was a beautiful and magical day. While our initial coordinator, Emma, was great to work with over the 8 months leading up to the wedding, we were disappointed to learn upon arrival that she would not be there on the day. Her replacement, Kelsie, arrived late, did not have our updated documents, failed to communicate with the vendors that there was a space for them on the third floor, and seemed to lack the positive energy and personal responsibility we had come to expect. There were also a few small hiccups, like the arch being set up incorrectly initially. But overall, we had a wonderful, memorable day for us and our guests.
