If you are considering booking the zoo for your wedding, this is your sign to do it. Every single aspect exceeded our expectations! I honestly can’t emphasize enough how accommodating they were. They truly listened to everything we wanted, and even then went above and beyond what we asked for to make our day perfect. I was honestly surprised in the best way at how much they did for us. On our wedding day, they had an event that morning that more people showed up for than they had accounted for, and even still, they made us priority. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, the catering was top notch, and the set up and breakdown were effortless. For a day that everyone warned me was chaotic and stressful, that was just simply not the case at the zoo. Miranda was our coordinator and I will forever be grateful for her and how she made our special day (and the months leading up to it) the best way we could’ve asked for.

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.

I can not express how wonderful of an experience I had with Timber Rock lodge. It is no secret that the wedding industry is getting ridiculous with pricing, Timber Rock Lodge was fairly priced, especially considering how diligent Michelle and Ralph were leading up to the wedding, and on the day of, not to mention all of the available amenities included! The venue itself is gorgeous, and the owners do everything they can to make it such a special and beautiful place for couples getting married there. Leading up to the wedding, without questions, the owners stepped up to have Ralph officiate my wedding when we had to part ways with our officiant unexpectedly. After our wedding reception when we expressed that we didn’t know what to do with all the florals, they were able to get them donated to a local nursing home so they would not go to waste! Timber Rock Lodge is a gem in the wedding industry, and the owners are seriously some of the nicest, most accommodating, and genuine people I have met!

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

About wedding venues in Oak Ridge, TN

Tennessee pairs idyllic mountain backdrops with Southern hospitality; creating an inviting blend of natural beauty and warmth for your celebration. You'll immediately feel the distinctive charm that makes this state so special for couples looking to tie the knot in a place that feels both majestic and welcoming.

What Makes Tennessee Wedding Venues Unique?

Tennessee venues showcase the state's distinct character through an impressive range of settings. You'll find mountain retreats like The Magnolia in Pigeon Forge where panoramic views create breathtaking ceremony backdrops and riverside celebrations at The Trillium in Sevierville that bring natural elegance to your special day. 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. This means your dollar stretches further while still securing a memorable location.

For different guest counts expect these average total wedding costs: small weddings with 50 guests run about $18,652 while medium-sized celebrations with 100 guests average $31,008. Larger gatherings with 150 guests typically cost $42,626 and 200-guest weddings average $53,014.

Your specific vision and venue choice will obviously influence these figures.

When Should You Book Your Tennessee Venue?

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. This timing makes perfect sense since Tennessee's autumn foliage creates spectacular natural backdrops with rich reds oranges and yellows that can transform even simple venues into magical settings.
