Zoo Knoxville is a wildlife park wedding venue in Knoxville, Tennessee. Providing an intimate and exclusive setting, all wedding events are held after the zoo’s operating hours are over. Zoo Knoxville offers a unique, exotic and elegant venue for your ceremony, reception or rehearsal dinner. Our certified wedding planner and knowledgeable event staff will work with you to create an unforgettable occasion. Shaded with towering trees and surrounded with rock formations, we have several indoor and outdoor event spaces. With wonderful lighting effects, a charming waterfall, and a carousel, this venue provides unique backdrops.

“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. ”

  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $8,798

We love love! Whimsical fairytale elements come together alongside waterfalls, lush gardens, and a quaint village to set a breathtaking backdrop for your magical day! Whether you and your partner want to be secluded in the forest, under the stars, or next to a 40 foot waterfall, our venues provide the most magical backdrop for your fairytale wedding. With five unique wedding packages to choose from and inclusions such as catering, decor, tables & chairs, setup & teardown, bar service, serving & event staffing, and more, you relax a bit more and enjoy the process!

“Ancient Lore was the perfect venue for our wedding! Mallory was our event manager, and she was so kind and understanding with us! I am definitely a bride who knows what she wants (down to the smallest detail), so her understanding in executing our vision meant so much! She was willing to make exceptions and work with her team just to make sure our day was exactly what I wanted, which was greatly appreciated. I mentioned wanting to have a champagne wall for our seating chart, so they actually made one that they now rent out for other events and weddings because of my idea! We had our ceremony at the woodland terrace, cocktail hour at the axe and archery ranges (highly recommend, it’s so fun for your guests), and reception at the elf nest. Everything looked beautiful, and I could tell our guests had so much fun. The food and drinks were also incredible! All our guests raved about the carrots and meatloaf at dinner, and everyone loved the stuffed mushrooms at cocktail hour. We also had the rosemary chicken, mashed potatoes, and strawberry feta salad at dinner, which were soooo delicious, and the cream cheese stuffed jalapeños and Tennessee bruschetta at cocktail hour, which was just as tasty! I was initially worried about booking a venue that provides catering before tasting any of the food, as I’ve been to many weddings that have had horrible food, but ancient lore really delivered! The staff was also sooooo friendly and sweet to us! The only issue we ran into was some miscommunication when we did our initial virtual tour. Our tour guide had told us all of the reception sites had spaces for dancing and music, however after we booked and signed the contract, we were told otherwise. As mentioned before though, Mallory was willing to pull some strings to make sure we had exactly what we wanted on our day!”

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!

“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.)”
