Things To Do
Downtown Knoxville
LOADS of things to do, including family friendly! Restaurants, museums, local shopping, farmers markets, historical buildings. Visit the website for updated events and happenings.
University of Tennessee
Good Ole Rocky Top! Take a stroll around Rocky Top to see Olivia's old stomping grounds and possibly experience some fun tailgating opportunities with the home game happening Wedding Weekend.
Yee-Haw Brewing (Knoxville)
One of our favorite breweries close to Downtown! YeeHaw is kid and pet friendly. PLUS, they do screenings of the UT games every Saturday. This Wedding Weekend Saturday, we are playing Oklahoma... another chance for coach Heupel to crush his Alma Mater. GO BIG ORANGE!
Plumb Creek Park
A beautiful dog park with two separate fenced parks for big and small dogs, a 9 hole disc golf course, and trails to walk. Goose's favorite park to run around in!
Ijams Nature Center
Enjoy beautiful trails and water activities! Visit their website for any events they may be having, too.
Big Kahuna Wings - West Town
Kenneth and Olivia loooove the wings here. One of the most frequented restaurants for their date nights. Olivia's Order: 10 traditional wings, fire rub, sweet chili lime sauce, mild buffalo, and ranch! Kenneth's Order: 12 boneless wings, fire rub, buffalo sauce, honey bbq ranch, a side of fries, extra side of ranch, and honey mustard. Tie those together with an Angry Orchard (Olivia) and a Modelo (Kenneth)!
Lakeshore Park
Another beautiful park with trails, palygrounds, and wide open spaces of grass for picnics and trees for hammocking. Perfect for our friends who want to get a good run in on wedding weekend!
Sequoyah Hills
Walking/running trails, playgrounds, water access, baseball fields, and beautiful homes to view. Sequoyah Hills Park has it all!
Basswood Church
Kenneth and Olivia's church! Make a visit wedding morning and enjoy teaching from our lovely pastors, Ronnie & Matt. You'll see a lot of those sweet faces later on at the ceremony and reception.
World's Fair Park
Visit the Sunsphere here! Beautiful lawn for relaxing and playing pick-up yard sports (ultimate frisbee, soccer, volleyball, etc.). Splash pad for the kids when it's warm enough. FUN FACT: Both Kenneth's Dad and Olivia's Dad were in attendance at the 1982 World's Fair held here in Knoxville at World's Fair Park!
Zoo Knoxville
Fun for the kids and adults! Go see all the cool wildlife the Knoxville Zoo has to offer. Olivia's favorite is the otter exhibit.
