Ramble Creek

Ramble Creek is an all-inclusive destination wedding venue in Athens, Tennessee, located between Chattanooga and Knoxville in the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains. With more than a decade of experience and 500+ weddings hosted, our team has built a planning process and day-of wedding experience that lets couples and their families show up as guests, not workers. Both Chattanooga and Knoxville airports are about an hour away, which makes Ramble Creek an easy destination for guests flying in from anywhere in the country.

Facilities and Capacity || Indoor & Outdoor Ceremony Options

Couples choose from multiple ceremony sites across the property, each accommodating up to 300 guests. Exchange vows on the rolling hillside with the East Tennessee Valley behind you, in a forested setting under a Muscadine vine arbor, or on a sprawling lush lawn with an arbor of your choice. Indoors, the Grand Hall offers a light-filled reception space with high ceilings and a grand fireplace as its centerpiece. Getting-ready spaces include a bridal suite, groom's quarters, and a dedicated children's suite, and on-site accommodations sleep up to 42 guests, so your favorite people wake up steps from the ceremony. When you book Ramble Creek, the property is reserved exclusively for your celebration. No shared spaces and no other events.

Services || In-House Chef, Full Planning Support, Day-Of Coordination Included

With Ramble Creek, you aren't just paying for a venue. You're booking the team that runs your entire wedding. Food and beverage are the only services required through us, prepared in our on-site commercial kitchen by our full-time Executive Chef, and couples curate their menus with our team during planning. Everything else is yours to choose: in-house florals, cake, DJ, hair and makeup, décor and draping, officiant, shuttle service, and more. Whatever you select stays under one contract with one team, so instead of managing a dozen vendor relationships, you manage one. Photography and videography are the only services not offered in-house.
