About this venue

Hidden Springs Venue is a 170-acre private wedding retreat near Chattanooga, Tennessee, nestled around a 10-acre private lake, wooded property, and a modern barn reception venue. Originally a historic summer camp, Hidden Springs has been thoughtfully transformed into a laid-back destination wedding venue where couples can celebrate, stay, and spend the weekend together.

Our lakeside ceremony area offers a beautiful outdoor setting surrounded by trees, water, and the natural beauty of East Tennessee, while our modern reception barn and courtyard provide an indoor space for dinner, dancing, and celebrating with your guests. The property gives couples the flexibility of an indoor/outdoor wedding venue without having to choose between the two.

Hidden Springs offers both single and multi day events with the unique ability to turn your wedding into a weekend getaway. Our on-site cabins provide overnight accommodations for friends and family, making it easy for your closest people to stay together on the property. From getting ready in our suites to gathering around the lake, enjoying the wooded grounds, or simply slowing down together, the entire weekend can happen in one place.

Conveniently located near Chattanooga, Tennessee, Hidden Springs is a popular choice for destination weddings and couples traveling from out of state, while still being an easy-to-reach East Tennessee wedding venue.

An Absolute Dream Venue!

We had such an incredible experience with Hidden Spring Venue! From start to finish, the staff was a joy to work with—so responsive, helpful, and truly dedicated to making our day seamless.

The grounds are breathtaking. The lake and outdoor spaces provided the most gorgeous backdrop for photos, and our guests couldn't stop commenting on how stunning the entire property was! The bridal suite was a beautiful, relaxing space to get ready in, and having golf carts available on-site made moving around the property effort-free. Parking was also excellent and convenient for everyone.

We held both our ceremony and reception on-site, and the flow of the entire evening felt so natural and smooth. Being an outdoor venue, it was such a relief knowing they have a great backup plan in case of rain. Even though we had a hot July day, the indoor AC worked great and kept everyone cool and comfortable once we moved inside!

The reception hall itself is spacious, elegant, and photographs so beautifully. We hosted approximately 175–180 guests, and while the room felt lively and full, there was more than adequate space to celebrate. A huge bonus was their decor closet—having access to so many items saved us a ton of time and money! On top of that, the venue was exceptionally vendor-friendly, making load-in and setup a breeze for our caterer, DJ, and florist.

We had a wonderful experience from beginning to end. If you are looking for a beautiful space with an amazing team, we cannot recommend Hidden Spring Venue enough!

Absolutely Incredible

The team here is amazing and so easy to work with. We had a medium sized budget and were able to save money by booking during their "off-season". We received quite a few perks for booking during this time and were able to spend nearly nothing on buying decor. While it may seem like it is pricier than some of the cheaper places, you get a lot included that you most likely would not elsewhere. I especially recommend hiring a coordinator thorough them as they know the venue extremely well and made the entire planning experience a breeze.

Hidden Springs Venue was our perfect wedding location!


Hidden Springs Venue was the perfect location for our wedding. It is even prettier than the pictures and truly brought our vision to life. Tucked away in the woods outside of Chattanooga, it was so serene and peaceful. We booked the 2 day, 1 night package so we could host our rehearsal dinner on-site. The thistle styling suite and evergreen polishing suite were included and we added on another cabin to comfortably sleep our bridal party of 20. It was the weekend of our dreams. To top it all off, the staff made the experience even more enjoyable. Everyone was so friendly and truly wanted our day to be perfect. Our questions were always answered in a timely manner and our needs were met quickly. We couldn’t recommend Hidden Springs enough!

the PERFECT wedding venue

Cannot say enough good things about Hidden Springs! Their venue grounds speak for themselves (stunning) and having the ability to host so many people in the cabins onsite is game changing! We ended up turning our weeding weekend into a big family/friends retreat where we played camp games, swam, held campfires, etc. We also love the idea that we can come back for our one-year anniversary and potentially stay on site in the cabins again! All the staff is beyond helpful and quick with communication - our month-of-coordinator (Maddie) was amazing! They helped bring our vision to life with their beautiful rentals/decor closet (so convenient). Overall, beautiful venue nestled in the woods and amazing staff

Perfection!

I 🤍 Hidden Springs.
From the day I first toured the property to our wedding day, the staff at Hidden Springs were amazing to work with. Emma and her team were with me every step of the way and made our wedding planning experience so easy and fun. Working with their preferred vendors made wedding planning stress-free.
We had whole wedding weekend at Hidden Springs, which made everything so special and so memorable as our families and wedding party were able to stay on site with us in the gorgeous cabins. After our rehearsal dinner, my husband and crew got to fish on the beautiful grounds while the girls hiked and the families got to rest and relax in the gorgeous cabins.
Day or, Emma brought my vision to life, while I relaxed surrounded by friends and family. I didn’t have to worry about a thing but getting married and enjoying the day, and we did, thanks to their efforts and dedication to making our day perfect.
I truly couldn’t imagine a better experience, and I am so thankful for Hidden Springs making our wedding experience so perfect!

Hidden Springs Venue

We LOVED hidden springs. The venue is a dream and so gorgeous. The bridal party cabin was PERFECT and the guys loved their groomsmen cabin. The barn was my dream venue with the most perfect chairs and decor. And the lake background is super pretty. I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Wonderful experience at Hidden Springs!

Hidden Springs had everything we needed in a wedding venue. We looked at several venues in the Chattanooga and Nashville areas and could not be happier that we landed here. The lakefront property is beautiful, and we felt good about having multiple options for ceremony locations in case of rain.

We had the best time working with Paige to plan our wedding day. She was outstanding and such a calming and organized presence that every bride needs. Paige thought of small details that we never would have, and these things were crucial in making the planning go so smoothly. She took our stress away every time we asked a question, and she had an instant answer or solution. Hidden Springs thought of everything and made our wedding day so special!
