We had our wedding here this past weekend. We rented out the Lodge for the whole weekend, and I genuinely could not describe a more perfect weekend. Michelle & Ralph were incredible. The Lodge was clean, cozy, and well-cared for. They did so much work to help us set up for our wedding, and Ralph was the perfect officiant. Their communication was phenomenal, and our guests told my (now officially!!) husband & I how beautiful the space was and how much they loved the Lodge. THANK YOU Michelle & Ralph for helping us host the wedding of our dreams - we couldn't have done it without y'all!

As someone who only viewed this venue through video call before booking let me tell you, DO IT! The venue is absolutely stunning, bridal suite and grooms quarters are separate buildings so it made it much easier to venture the main venue for first looks without the fear of my husband seeing me before. Lisa is an absolute delight to work with, she’s incredibly charismatic and kind. She had extra decorations we were able use and the venue itself was already so beautifully decorated. Even with the all day downpour we were able to move about with ease and had an amazing time! For any bride looking to get married in the Knoxville area I highly recommend Poarch Manor!

  • Multiple event spaces

Venue considerations

  • Does not allow pets

  • Dance floor not included
When we were deciding on a venue we looked at several places in and around Knoxville we found two very common themes - barns and warehouses. While many of the locations we looked at were beautiful we wanted something fun and unique, which is how we found Zoo Knoxville. We knew that it would allow for a once in a lifetime memory for ourselves and our guests, and boy oh boy it did not disappoint. We held our ceremony in front of the elephants, the cocktail hour was in the treehouse near the gibbons, and our reception was in their event tent near Kid's Cove. The Zoo was great to work with from the beginning to the end, we had a team of coordinators to work with and they had their own catering/bar service so it was on stop shop. I can't recommend Zoo Knoxville enough if you want a unique wedding experience that your friends and family will be talking about, this venue is for you. Plus it's somewhere we can easily go back to relive all of our memories.

Knoxville, TN

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!

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.)

Transportation on the property is great too with all of the chauffeur, you barely have to walk around at all (which, during the summer you will want this!)
