About this venue
When couples search for wedding venues near Johnson City TN, one name rises above the rest. Blackthorn Club is the Tri-Cities' premier all-inclusive private club and five-star wedding destination in the rolling hills of historic Jonesborough, Tennessee — minutes from Johnson City and Kingsport. With an Arthur Hills-designed championship golf course, a culinary program ranked among the top 20 private clubs in the nation, and a dedicated events team, Blackthorn sets the standard among Tri-Cities TN wedding venues — full-service, no hidden fees, no compromises.
The beauty that draws couples to mountain wedding venues in East Tennessee surrounds you here. Three ceremony sites — a rarity among outdoor wedding venues in Northeast Tennessee — offer sweeping mountain vistas and manicured greenery for breathtaking vows and endless photography. The 7,147-yard course, framed by the Appalachian foothills, delivers the scenery couples dream of when touring Blue Ridge Mountain wedding venues in Tennessee.
Blackthorn's versatile spaces set it apart from every other wedding reception venue in the Tri-Cities. The Card Room, Bistro, and Main Dining Room provide sophisticated indoor settings, while the event lawn and pool deck invite open-air receptions. With capacity for up to 200 guests, Blackthorn is the only private club among wedding venues in the Kingsport and Bristol TN area equipped for both intimate ceremonies and large-scale celebrations. For couples who love rustic elegant wedding venues in the Appalachian Highlands — or have toured barn and vineyard wedding venues across East TN seeking something more polished — Blackthorn delivers pastoral charm without compromise.
The beautifully appointed bridal suite offers a private space to prepare, while packages include professional lighting and sound, rentals, décor assistance, and full bar service — an all-inclusive value that makes Blackthorn one of the most sought-after affordable mountain wedding venues near Asheville NC, with the same Blue Ridge backdrop at a fraction of the price.
The crown jewel is Blackthorn's culinary team, ranked 19th among private clubs nationwide. From elegant plated dinners to creative food stations and handcrafted desserts from the in-house pastry chef, every detail is bespoke.
Proudly Serving East Tennessee and the Appalachian Highlands
Blackthorn Club hosts weddings throughout the region, including Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol TN, Bristol VA, Elizabethton, Greeneville, Morristown, Abingdon VA, Boone NC, Asheville NC, and Knoxville. Centrally located in Jonesborough off I-26 and I-81, Blackthorn is the natural gathering point for the Tri-Cities — and a stunning destination for couples seeking mountain elegance without mountain-resort pricing.

Reviews of Blackthorn Club
WOW - A beautiful venue to promise our hearts to each other
Jenn Garcia, Chef James Allen and all the wonderful employees there went above and beyond to make our wedding day absolutely beautiful. Chef came up with a mouth-watering menu that was a beautiful fusion of our cultures as well as our tastes. Pastry chef Elizabeth designed a mouthwatering cake that was also visually stunning. Jenn Garcia took it upon herself to coordinate every little detail from helping me pick vendors to decorating our trellis and venue -- this wedding could not have been possible without her.
Blackthorn Club and their team were invaluable in making our wedding truly special. Every guest and family member marveled at the quality of service, professionalism, and delectable menu.
My husband and I enjoyed our day because we didn't have to worry about a single thing. We get to look back on our wedding day and remember the moment and none of the stress and this couldn't have been possible without this truly amazing team. Thank you Blackthorn Club :)
