Nantahala weddings made our elopement visions come true plus SO much more! The pictures capture the beauty that surrounds the area, but being there in person is truly indescribable. I will never get over how perfect our day was. Meeting Jess was my favorite part of it all, as she is just as kind and loving as she is organized and thorough in her work. I highly recommend booking your wedding through Nantahala Weddings!

The Pavilion at Hunter Valley Farm 

5.0

Knoxville, TN
  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

We are a family built and run business that has been in operation for over 12 years! The Pavilion was designed and built by our owner, Nancy Barger, and her dad. It's situated on her family farm and overlooks Bluegrass Lake, which is right in the heart of Knoxville! While you may only be 15 minutes from downtown, and just right off of Northshore Dr, The Pavilion offers a quiet escape on the water. Our ceremony site is surrounded by trees and looks out onto the lake, giving our ceremonies a private, natural, feeling. We are well known for our beach, which expands a large part of our front yard! The beach is amazing for elopements, cocktail hours, cookouts and photos!

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides a dedicated team on-site
  • Multiple event spaces
  • Bridal suite on site

Venue considerations

  • Lighting and sound are not included
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Dance floor not included
The site is LOVELY, and the staff are also. They treated us as special (impossible as that sounds) and helped us to have the sort of wedding reception that we could only dream about. It's a fairly expensive venue, but TOTALLY worth it if you can manage it! (P.S.: We probably are the oldest bride and groom they have ever had, but that didn't seem to matter to them one bit. Don't worry if you are non-traditional.)
