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.

Wherever you choose, your wedding will be unique and just as you choose it to be. We don't charge an exorbitant amount for our venue because we want you to be able to afford to stay at The Vieux and have your wedding all rolled into one at a great price.

Whatever you choose is up to you so it can be your perfect day on The Mustard Seed property at Your Home Away From Home in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. All of your guests can stay too in our 7 other cabins on the same 12 acres/mountain top.

The Mustard Seed Venue was breathtaking! It was so cozy and was perfect to accommodate all of us. I am an outdoor person and so I was right at home. Katherine and Wendell were so helpful and I felt like I’ve known them for years. They were also helpful because we live in Buffalo NY, and they helped us so much with other planning and recommendations etc. It took so much stress off of us. Since I love cooking and baking, it was my dream kitchen and pantry! I wish I could bring it home with me! I brought homemade cookie dough that I made at home to bake there. I also brought a frozen homemade wedding cake and frosting to finish the job over there in their absolutely cozy pantry! Baking the cookies there with my other daughter, who was the maid of honor, made it a very, very memorable family time for me. I will cherish the memories that we had there forever from the day before the wedding all the way to the day after the wedding! The weather also cooperated perfectly! The day was just so blessed! Thank you so much for these cherished memories. Sincerely, Becky Deer

Having our son's wedding at Battle Mountain Farm was the absolute perfect choice. From the day of the tour to the clean-up, this process could not have been smoother or easier. Mandi and her staff were so helpful during every step of the way, and the expectations were clearly communicated. The property is naturally beautiful and well-kept, and the supply of available decorations helped us save money. I highly recommend the Total Package that includes the Main House, Gazebo, Horse Stable, New Event Barn, and Grounds. This gives flexibility with housing and time to decorate and set up at a more leisurely pace. Mandi's experience as venue manager for this specific location for the last 10 years helped us in so many ways. She has a depth of knowledge of what works well and what does not work. Even with a threat of rain (for our outdoor ceremony), Mandi and her staff did not panic and had the indoor contingency plan ready. We are so thankful we chose Battle Mountain Farm and cannot speak highly enough about our experience.

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.

It’s been a year since we got married at The Pick Inn and never once do we reflect and regret anything! Amanda and her awesome staff did an amazing job. They placed everything so perfectly from the chairs and pergola arrangements and all the odds and ends I brought. They made the day run smoothly, I actually noticed zero wedding day hiccups. So kuddos to the team if there were any. We could not have had the wedding we did without Amanda, their vendor recommendations, and the beautiful venue itself! People still talk to me about how beautiful the venue was a year later. It is truly so dreamy and peaceful. Amanda was always available for questions that we had, which was super helpful as an anxious bride to be! My husband and I are so thankful that we found The Pick Inn and if we were able, we would do it all again (but only at The Pick Inn). :)
