“We are SO happy we chose Willow Falls Resort for our wedding! It couldn’t have been more perfect. From the very first time we visited, we knew it was something special. The property is absolutely beautiful, with the lake, the views, and so many great spots for photos. Our guests are still talking about our wedding! The team at Willow Falls made the process easy and stress-free. They were always quick to respond, helpful with questions, and genuinely cared about making our day exactly what we envisioned. On the wedding day, everything ran so smoothly and we were able to relax and actually enjoy every moment. One of our favorite parts was having the cabins onsite. It made the whole weekend feel like a celebration with our closest friends and family instead of just a few hours in one place. Waking up by the lake the next morning was such a special memory. If you’re looking for a venue that’s stunning, well-run, and full of charm, Willow Falls Resort is it. We would choose it again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to any couple planning their wedding!”

“I live within 50 miles of the top venues of my state an could've easily chosen to get married there and I'm sure have a beautiful wedding as I know the staff personally and they do a great job. I instead chose a destination wedding with my family and friends at Whitestone Inn because they're just the best. Having a beautiful venue that didn't need tons of decor and delicious food that people would genuinely enjoy were very important to me. People still talk about the food over a year later and it's all thanks to the in-house catering. Having multiple ceremony options was also important because I know things can happen. We had a member in our party who needed wheelchair accessibility and that was no issue whatsoever. The staff was so attentive and went above and beyond to help us make our day fun and memorable!”

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.
