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.

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.

There is so much I have to say about this venue and the Director of Events Ivy Manfredi. This venue is just about all inclusive! I just needed hair, makeup, cake, and DJ. The food is incredible, and you can have your rehearsal dinner at this location too! They are great with accommodations when it comes to special diets, as well as special requests. Ivy was there for me from the first walk through to the very last part of my reception! She even rallied together help when my hair and makeup was a no show on the day of. The whole day was a blur but she was there keeping me calm and pushing me through with the kindest heart. Now about the venue itself. WOW! First a golf course is beautiful year round so there is never a bad day. One thing that was so important to me when looking for an outdoor venue was the rain plan. Let me tell you it is just as good as the garden!! You will not end up in a tent or having to walk past your catering if it rains. You have a beautiful fire place surrounded by beautiful glass walls to see the course, and climate control! I also want to mention the price. For what you are getting it is absolutely affordable! Ivy will work with you to find a package that works best with your budget. Last but not least at all the unique experience of being able to visit with the resident sheep on the course!! When I say I looked forward to this for so long I mean it, and they did not disappoint! My Husband and I got amazing photos with them and I will cherish that memory forever! If you are on the fence just take a visit, see the magic for yourself!

As a wedding photographer I was SO stoked when I was hired to do a wedding here last year in 2023. There are so many different places to take pictures and so many great, colorful backdrops. The rooms are so freakin cool and unique as well. Transportation on the property is great too with all of the chauffeur, you barely have to walk around at all (which, during the summer you will want this!)

I don't even know where to start talking about how happy we are with the Beau Cheval! Firstly, the venue and property are absolutely beautiful and very well maintained. That said, what really set this place apart when my wife and I were shopping for a venue were the owners, Beau and Gary. They were so accommodating and helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. They guided us through the entire planning process step by step and connected us with most of our vendors (all of which were equally amazing)! They were easy to reach when we had questions, and they always took the time to walk through everything with us and go over all of the details. We needed to make changes a few times during our planning process, and every time Beau and Gary were patient, kind, and happy to help us out. They handed everything from our decor, table settings, bar menu, cake topper, and more, but it was all COMPLETELY customized to match our vision! On our wedding day Beau was there with us and made sure everything was going as planned. The day was absolutely perfect! We seriously can't recommend celebrating your wedding with the Beau Cheval enough!!!!!

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). :)

From rustic barns with exposed beams to elegant manor houses with rich history, your options are wonderfully diverse. All these venues are enhanced by Tennessee's natural landscapes; think rolling mountains, winding rivers and lush woodlands that frame your celebration in authentic Southern beauty.

How Much Do Tennessee Wedding Venues Cost?

The average Tennessee wedding venue costs $7,110 which is significantly more affordable than many other popular wedding destinations. You'll typically find prices ranging from $6,390 to $7,810 compared to the national range that runs $6,500-$12,000.

Most Tennessee couples book their venues 10 months ahead; about 318 days before the big day. You'll want to note that October sees the highest number of wedding inquiries which reveals strong demand for fall ceremonies.
