“Historic Ann's 1893 - Wedding & Event Venue is a diamond in the rough, especially considering the overpriced wedding industry. From the moment we first reached out, Julie was incredibly warm, easy to work with, and accommodating of our schedule since we lived out of state. The venue itself is simply gorgeous - completely lush and green, with a timeless, classic feel that required minimal additional decor. We felt like we got so much more than our money's worth, as the beautiful grounds made for stunning photos. Being able to stay on the property made things run so smoothly. I would recommend a day of coordinator if you could afford it, as we did not. We paid for the ultimate package and the venue coordinator set us up for the weekend upon arrival on that Friday; it would have very helpful to have someone managing our vision on the day of. Unbelievable quality for the price and an absolutely unforgettable memory.”

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.

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. This means your dollar stretches further while still securing a memorable location.

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.
