  Excellence in Venue, Catering, Bar, and staff!

  I had the pleasure of having our son and daughter-in-law's wedding at RT Lodge in Knoxville, Tennessee, and it was truly a magical experience (April 2022). From the moment I arrived, I was impressed with the warm hospitality of the staff. Ali Johnson and her team were professional and well-versed in the wedding process, and they made sure that all of our needs were exceeded. Ali had tremendous insight into the function spaces, the need for a ceremony tent or not (she is better than the local weather forecaster), and her contacts are professional and of the highest caliber. Her team (including Director of Sales Katie and Catherine and others) solved a huge last-minute problem we had with our bus contractor (that we booked separately) and saved both the Rehearsal Dinner and the Wedding. They were with us and onsite to assure the greatest success of the Rehearsal Dinner, Wedding Ceremony & Reception, and Brunch, and were even seen at the Hilton which we used for the overflow of guests.
  
  Our family and friends are STILL talking about the amazing dinner both Friday night and Saturday night (each over 200 guests). The food was absolutely delicious-even better than individual dinners we had previously had on site. The chef, Trevor Stockton prepared a variety of seasonally fresh, locally sourced culinary delights that were perfect for our special events customized and amazing. We had a variety of appetizers, entrees, and desserts that were all cooked to perfection and he accommodated special dietary needs with precision and flavorful options. Everyone in attendance was raving about the food. The servers worked so hard and were trained in the proper style for a formal event. The bar and staff were spectacular as well. Seriously, Mark Hawkins leads the hard-working and sincerely smiling staff making each event special and enjoyable.
  
  The venue itself was stunning and Jeff Hooper and his team were freshening up the property and landscape. The property, hiking trails, drive, and woods surrounding it make it a special escape that you do not have to drive too far to enjoy. It was particularly stunning for the photographs. Spring flowers were just opening and the front lawn and drive made a special area for the Rehearsal Dinner, the wedding was on the lawn, while the wedding party was under their Sperry Tent. The general decor was lodgey, verdantly simple yet elegant, and it was the perfect backdrop for our wedding. The firepit and s'mores were a big gathering spot as well as the back patio by the pond. The staff went out of their way to make sure that everything was set up perfectly and I have never seen a harder working crew! I think Charlie is in charge of that team. The rebuilt bar had not yet opened but some of the extended patio space was available and their construction area was screened beautifully (and the bar was easy to find, well-stocked, and friendly).
  
  We had a full buyout of the property for the weekend. We used one building of accommodations for the immediate families and the other was for all the bride and groom's wedding party, friends, and over 21-year-old family members (It was a little like a 20/30-something dorm over there.) I am happy that some room updates are planned as they could use more light and a freshening up of the bathroom space and closets. The beds were comfortable and everything was impeccably clean.
  
  Thanks to the front desk Lucibeth, Elizabeth, and Zane who were constantly friendly and helpful.
  
  Overall, our experience at RT Lodge was unforgettable. The staff was professional and attentive, the food was delicious, and the venue was simply stunning. I would highly recommend RT Lodge to anyone looking for a unique and special experience for their wedding.

  RT does it all! They bring your vision to life, coordinating all the details.

  Magical Wedding

  I cannot thank the team at RT Lodge enough for their dedication, patience, attentiveness, and hospitality. We had the most magical wedding weekend thanks to RT Lodge! We had to postpone our wedding due to covid-19. Katie and Ali took the stress out of postponing and arranged all of our vendors for our new June 2021 date. The planning process was seamless thanks to Katie and Ali. They both go above and beyond to assist with vendors, questions, food, details, etc. On the day of our wedding, Ali even helped to remove dirt spots from the bottom of my wedding dress. They are amazing! Additionally, we can't thank both Ali and Katie enough for helping us find the best vendors to work with. Our vendors transformed the sperry tent into our dream reception. Our family and friends could not stop talking about the food at both our rehearsal dinner and reception. Chef Trevor Stockton is such a huge asset to the team at RT Lodge. The food does not disappoint! Additionally, it was so special having all of our family and friends in one place throughout the entire weekend. They loved feeling comfortable with the rooms and convenience of RT Lodge. We are so happy to have found this beautiful, secluded spot in the woods. RT Lodge will always hold a special place in our hearts!

  Perfect venue

  Our wedding at RT Lodge was magical! Staff members thoughtfully and professionally attended to every detail throughout the entire process. They went beyond our expectations to ensure our wedding was exactly what we had hoped it would be. When we had to postpone our original wedding date due to the pandemic, RT took care of rescheduling all of our vendors. They even offered to coordinate a small private ceremony on their property so we could exchange our vows on our original date. RT Lodge is truly the ideal venue for hosting the perfect wedding. We feel so fortunate to have been able to have had our wedding at RT Lodge…they helped us create memories that will last a lifetime!

  Amazing wedding experience

  I can not begin to capture everything about our past wedding weekend that RT Lodge made special for us, but here are some of the top things that wow'd our guests:
  
  Food - amazing ("best wedding food we have ever eaten")
  Ceremony location on the winding road - a forest cathedral that was dreamily romantic
  Venue - intimate gathering spot for 100 of our closest family and friends that encouraged mixing and laughter (s'mores around the firepit, anyone?)
  Incredibly responsive and gracious staff - A team that always looked to find a way to get to yes. They consistently delighted us in the planning stage and our guests on the weekend.
  
  The weekend was everything we could have hoped for - and we recommend RT Lodge unreservedly. (Mother of the Bride)

  The Most Amazing Wedding Venue

  MAGICAL. That is the best word to describe the entire weekend at RT Lodge. It was the perfect place to have a weekend celebration and they took care of every detail from start to finish.
  First, the planning process was enjoyable and the team took all of the stress off of us. They even helped navigate during COVID and helped coordinate with all vendors for us. We had to postpone twice, but they made it the easiest process it could be! We had so much fun at every planning meeting and they made it seem less!
  Once the big weekend came we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Everything was planned out to the minute and they thought of details we would have never dreamed of. The experience was surreal and absolutely perfect! It was wonderful to have the entire place to ourselves! The staff made us feel like royalty and anticipated our every want!
  One thing I have to mention is the food. It is truly the best food we have ever had. There is not a bad thing on the menu. Every guest raved about it and chef Trevor accommodated our ideal menu as well as dietary restrictions for a family member. Everything we have ever eaten at the lodge is amazing! Since our first planning meeting the lodge has become our special spot to go eat whenever there is a celebration! That is the only downside of this place, you WILL become addicted to the food and no other restaurant will taste as good!
  I cannot recommend enough to plan your wedding at RT Lodge. The staff becomes family and you will be well taken care of! I would go through the process over and over again (even with being a COVID bride) just to get to spend more time with their amazing team! I urge anyone planning a wedding to just go there and see for themselves, and no other venue will compare!

  A Magical Weekend

  My husband and I got married at RT Lodge last November and it was truly magical. My family and friends are constantly telling me how much they enjoyed their weekend here! We wanted a wedding venue where all of our people could gather together for a few fun days, and the Lodge was just the perfect place.
  
  I have SO many good things to say about the Lodge, but honestly the best part about it is the staff. They treated us (and still treat us) like family. From handwritten notes and fresh baked cookies waiting upon our arrival, to sending me flowers when our dog passed away, they are all so kind and catered to our every need. Ali, Katie, Brandi, Chef Trevor, and the rest of the RT Lodge team personalize your wedding/event weekend to be exactly what you want. The staff members are incredibly gracious, friendly, and always smiling.
  
  In terms of the Lodge itself, it is just magical. It’s quaint quarters are decorated with cozy plaids, layered with textures, and every room is it’s own special nook. Outside, the patio and grounds boast fairytale lights, a cozy fire pit, a beautiful koi pond, hiking trails, and the most glorious winding road (where we held our wedding ceremony).
  
  While I could go on forever about this perfect place, I simply just have to say that it is lovely. RT Lodge is southern elegance at its finest. My husband and I are counting down the days until we can return for a weekend!

  Amazing Experience

  RT Lodge was a dream wedding venue and couldn't have been more perfect. The staff is extremely helpful and cuts out all of the stress of planning. Everything is onsite which made planning extremely easy as they also help to coordinate with vendors. The venue itself is beautiful and cozy. The food is insanely good and Chef Trevor makes any accommodations you need. I had a few guests with food allergies and they went out of their way to make sure everyone was taken care of. They also work with you for anything you need; you will not lift a finger on the day of! It was an overall great experience and we will definitely be back!

  Where do I even begin? RT Lodge enabled us to have the most beautiful, intimate, and unforgettable wedding weekend. When we started wedding planning, we knew we wanted outstanding food, a place where we could be together with our guests for a weekend, and somewhere dog friendly. The lodge provides all of that and much more. We found the lodge on a whim and traveled to spend a weekend and discuss wedding planning. It was the first and only venue we visited. The lodge is amazingly beautiful and speaks for itself, but it's the team that makes every stay and celebration a memorable one. We can't express our appreciation for their sincerity and transparency as we navigated wedding planning during COVID. They made sure we could pull off a safe celebration while also preparing various options if we needed to postpone. Our wedding weekend was truly perfect. The weather was iffy but the backup plans were just as wonderful as our original options. We were all able to be fully present and enjoy the weekend without worrying about anything. Katie and her team seamlessly coordinated every detail, helped with literally all things (including bustling my dress), and made sure I was smiling the entire time. Guests raved about the food (quality, presentation, timing - everything - Trevor is amazing!), genuine hospitality, and relaxing mindset you adopt when spending time at the lodge. If anything went wrong during our weekend, we still don't know about it! We are forever grateful and we truly cannot wait for our next visit!

We appreciate the time you have taken to give us such a thoughtful review and hope to see you both again soon. Best wishes for a happy first year of marriage!

  A beautiful wedding celebration weekend!!

  RT Lodge made our wedding celebration the most magical, beautiful and memorable experience. The planning team at RT could not have been more helpful, understanding, and simply a joy to work with. Our wedding was initially scheduled during the height of COVID. Katie and Ali worked with us to seamlessly move everything we had planned for May 2020 to May 2021, and took so much of the stress out of it. They made planning the celebration fun, from the menu, to the events over the weekend, and down to the smallest detail. We ended up having a small wedding in May 2020 at our church and then our wedding celebration in May 2021 at RT Lodge. Ali and Katie worked with us to turn our celebration into exactly what we wanted, a joyful occasion for us to celebrate safely with family and friends. Ali and Katie are creative and brought a lot of ideas and their impressive experience to planning the celebration. The food during our wedding celebration weekend was wonderful. We had been to the Lodge many times for dinner and have always loved Chef Trevor’s seasonal menu, but the ability of RT to make such delicious food for a crowd of people, without any delay or hiccup, is amazing. The staff was so careful to accommodate allergies and dietary needs and worked with us to create an ideal menu. We got so many compliments from our guests. Our guests, many of whom were from out of town, could not believe how great RT Lodge is, and so convenient, only minutes from the airport, Maryville and just a few minutes more to downtown Knoxville and the mountains. The grounds are beautiful. We were there in late May, with gorgeous weather, but we have also been there in February in not so great weather and the Lodge is equally beautiful, cozy and warm. I knew that if the weather was less than optimal, the staff would have still made the wedding beautiful and memorable. Also, the benefit of having all of your guests around for the entire weekend cannot be stressed enough. RT provides the ideal venue to spend quality time with family and friends instead of running around to different venues. Our kids were also extremely entertained with corn hole, ping pong and lawn jenga available to guests. We cannot recommend enough having your wedding at RT Lodge. You will be well taken care of and your guests will be amazed at this little piece of paradise.

  Lane, thank you for choosing RT Lodge as your wedding venue! We are so appreciative of this thoughtful review! Our team had a wonderful experience planning your wedding, and we thank you for trusting us to deliver a beautiful wedding amid the conflict and challenges we faced during COVID. It was amazing getting to know you and Matt, and was such a special experience celebrating alongside you throughout your wedding weekend. Cheers to you both!

  First Class Wedding Venue

  Highly impressed with every aspect of RT Lodge. It went beyond our expectations. We would choose RT Lodge all over again for my daughters May wedding. Their attention to all the details and to orchestrating a seamless event is outstanding. My objective was to be present and enjoy the entire weekend and because we had such professional planners at RT Lodge that’s exactly what happened. It was amazing and our guests loved their time there as well. The facilities were in perfect condition, the food for the entire weekend was top notch and the staff was continually accommodating and in the background waiting on us hand and foot. Well done RT Lodge.

  Captured our heart forever

  Wow, wow and Wow! RT Lodge is truly a magical place! My husband and I hosted our daughters wedding in April. From the planning, to the on site visits, every aspect of the process was seamless. RT Lodge knows how to make what can be a very stressful process so easy! The staff takes the time to personally know you and your needs and exceeds all expectations. The venue is intimate, romantic and just breathtaking. The food...oh my goodness! The food is served so beautifully and the quality is outstanding! If you are a foodie, you will be in heaven. My daughter summed it up best...it was the best weekend of her life. RT Lodge you captured our hearts forever!

  Cozy Wooded Wedding Getaway

  I don't think there could have been a more perfect place for our wedding. Katie Stinnett and the RT team kept everything on track and helped plan the majority of our wedding while we were in the middle of chaos, trying to move from Chicago to Tennessee, get new jobs and plan a wedding in less than a year. Our guests were blown away by the food and the venue. The experience felt more like a weekend getaway for our friends and family than a one night event. I am so grateful to them and I'll look back on our wedding photos knowing we choose the perfect place. They also made us feel at home when we were new to town.

  We were married here April 2018 and it was truly an incredible experience. We were looking for a venue in which both of our families and friends could come and stay onsite for the entire weekend and we fell quickly in love with RT Lodge. Having everyone stay onsite made the logistics of the weekend easy and we got to spend more quality time with our guests.
  
  The food was incredible! Breakfast is included for all guests each morning and Chef Trevor Stockton really outdid himself for all of our dinners.
  
  Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful but the staff were always willing to lend a helping hand - going over and beyond good service. For example: The wait staff carried a large farmhouse table down a steep flight of stairs so that the families could eat dinner outside (and enjoy the great weather) Thursday night before the wedding. The wedding coordinators saw I was stressed about finishing favor bags and they took them back to the main lodge and finished stuffing and tying bows for me! One of my bridesmaid's ordered a cab to the airport that never showed up, so one of the maid's drove her to the airport so she wouldn't miss her flight home.
  
  It's such a special place and we will always be grateful to the kind staff that helped make our wedding weekend unforgettable.

  We got married here in May! Our day was magical and everything went perfectly thanks to the help of the lodge staff. The setting is pure perfection. The food was AMAZING! We loved having our wedding here and still love to go back and eat at the restaurant.

  I really don't have words that can articulate what RT Lodge means to my husband and me. We got estimates from over 100 vendors from around the world, literally, and none of them compared to RT Lodge. We were searching for a magical little oasis in a wooded setting where our friends and family could hang out for a weekend retreat, plus Michelin-worthy food, with a great planner and a central location for our destination wedding. RT Lodge delivered that and so much more. We were treated like royalty on our site visit and completely fell in love with the grounds, our planner, Katie Stinnett, Chef Trevor Stockton, the extremely kind General Manager, Gary, and everyone else at the lodge. We had tricky logistics for our wedding (got married down a lane in the woods), and tricky weather. We found out rain would hit sporadically throughout the day, and RT Lodge, made sure that all of our guests and vendors would be onsite and completely ready over an hour early! They rearranged cocktail hour seamlessly as well. My planner, Katie, also sneakily found, stored and installed an art installation that I had been desperate to have for the wedding tent! Our guests are now also obsessed with RT Lodge. It's a magical, addicting place in the tiny town of Maryville, Tennessee with the very best employees, and it beat out everyone from France, Italy, California, New York and Florida.

  We had our ceremony and reception at RT Lodge and we absolutely loved it! It is an absolutely gorgeous wedding venue. We had the entire lodge for the weekend. The staff were absolutely amazing. They did anything and everything for us to make our special day less stressful. It was honestly the most perfect day and a lot of that is attributed to the service provided by RT Lodge. We can honestly say it was the best day of our lives! The food was to die for!!!! All of our guest loved the wedding and continued to compliment how exquisite the venue and the food was. RT lodge most definitely went above and beyond for us and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

  RT Lodge was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. My husband and I were able to relax knowing that everything was right on track for the Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding Day. They streamlined the planning process answering questions quickly, accommodating changes and special requests, and helping us wrangle all of the vendors. Our desire was to have a fun (stress free) wedding weekend with our friends and family, and the Lodge was the perfect choice. Since our wedding, we have received rave reviews from our guests. :
  "Best wedding food I have ever had."
  "Most fun and relaxed wedding we have ever been to."
  "RT Lodge just knows how to do it right."
  "Best Ribs I have ever had."
  "The breakfast was amazing."
  Everyone at RT Lodge was great to work with and extremely accommodating. Katie was awesome throughout the entire planning process and the weekend. Katie, Brooks, Chef Trevor and Katelyn were key to our wedding weekend success, and I am so thankful for them. I can't single out my favorite thing, but do yourself a favor and go have dinner at the lodge!

  The RT Lodge was the perfect wedding venue. It was like having our own private luxury estate for the entire weekend. From the time of our first visit several months before the wedding until the last guest left on Sunday following the wedding, everything was perfection. Katie Stinnett and the staff were amazing to work with during the entire process. Every detail was taken care of. The food for the bridal luncheon, the rehearsal dinner, the breakfasts, cocktail hour and wedding dinner was exceptional; and our guests loved being able to stay on the property for the entire weekend. Many guests commented that it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended. Thank you RT Lodge for helping to create a dream wedding.

  I can absolutely say that our wedding weekend would not have been the dream weekend we'd hoped it would be if we had chosen to have it ANYWHERE ELSE. We have an abundance of stunning venues near our home in Nashville but chose to host our friends and family 3 hours away in Maryville at RT Lodge because of the ease of having everyone in one place for the entire weekend. The welcome dinner was fabulous, breakfasts were tasty and our family-style dinner reception was delicious and exactly what we'd discussed with Chef Stockton. Katie was a dream to work with and every single staff member went above and beyond to make our weekend perfect. I'm an event planner and my expectations are high but they repeatedly exceeded my best case scenarios. We are so grateful to the RT Lodge family for executing the best weekend of our lives!

  RT Lodge was the absolute perfect place to for my husband and I to get married and spend quality time with our loved ones without any stress! The Lodge, guest houses, and grounds are breathtaking and resort-like. The staff felt as if they were part of our family they were so accommodating and willing to help out in any way to ensure not only David and I had the perfect weekend, but that our friends and family enjoyed their visit as well! Katie and Katelyn were always one step ahead of us with everything throughout the weekend, and it was such a relief knowing everything was taken care of. Come hungry because the food is mouth watering and you will not leave a single crumb on your plate. Chef Trevor Stockton...thank you! We look forward to the pleasure of dining and staying the night at RT Lodge for future anniversaries and date nights (or really any excuse to go back)!

  These people were outstanding. Not only did they handle every request with professionalism, they anticipated our needs and were ready to fulfill them. Their coordination of the actual wedding was done with military precision. All we had to do was make sure the "I dos" were said at the right time!
