The property is absolutely beautiful and Andrea and her family were amazing to work with. They were the most gracious hosts and super accommodating for our weekend. We rented the venue from Friday-Sunday for us and the wedding party, which was so convenient for our friends coming from out of state. Andrea also helped me coordinate with all of my vendors, which made the weekend go much smoother than if I had done it all myself. Every single one of our guests had nothing but great things to say about the venue and the experience. We hope to come back and stay for an anniversary trip some day!

Lavender Hills Venue was the perfect choice for our wedding. From the start, their communication was fast, clear, and informative, which made the planning process effortless. The venue itself is truly stunning - set on 60 gorgeous acres with breathtaking Smoky Mountain views, it had an elegant, farm-like feel that was exactly what we were looking for. The space was beautiful and private, and the value was unbeatable.
