About

With one-half mile of Tennessee River frontage at the mouth of the Tennessee River Gorge, Tennessee RiverPlace is a 130-acre working farm, offering a picturesque backdrop for any wedding or event. At the heart of the farm rests a 10,000-square-foot European-style villa with extensive porch, patio, and lawn spaces, which, by itself, sets Tennessee RiverPlace apart from other venues. Our Villa has a 4,000 sq ft patio that is perfect for outdoor receptions, and we have a 3,200 sq ft tent space you can use in inclement weather.

The setting can only be outdone by our uniquely flexible, yet attentive approach to serving you and your priorities. We are one of the very few venues to encourage you to bring in vendors of your choice. After all, this is your event, so we won’t presume to know what you want or limit your choices in any way by only using selected vendors. However, we can point you to some experienced, professional vendors if you like.

At Tennessee RiverPlace, every event we host is unique. We specialize in indoor/outdoor events. For a bride who desires to have her wedding and reception at the same location, and who wants time for decorating and space for getting ready, RiverPlace is a great fit! The views, wide open spaces, adaptable facility, and laid-back atmosphere differentiate Tennessee RiverPlace from other wedding venues. We offer reservation times ranging from 4 to 14 hours with options for unlimited consultations. Our goal is to allow our customers the ability to host (and thoroughly enjoy!) their ideal wedding day.

We offer accommodations directly upstairs in our Main Villa, and we have two additional guest houses on-site, so that so that you, your family, or your out-of-town guests may stay the night or weekend to celebrate your special day. If you book your accommodations with your wedding booking, you will receive a 15% discount on accommodations.

The best place to get married!

This venue is absolutely STUNNING with so much space (both indoors and outdoors). Not only is the venue wonderful but the staff were absolutely amazing. We are forever grateful for them. Our original plan was to have our ceremony outdoors and our reception under the big tent that has concrete flooring. Only sideways rain could really impact our reception under that big tent … and well there were 80mph winds/rain an hour prior to our ceremony that caused our reception decor/tables/dance floor/stage/etc to get completely soaked or damaged. I was having a ~meltdown~ wondering how we would recover from that but their staff did not hesitate and asked no questions and started helping us figure out ways to clean up//redo the set up. They are so kind and caring and we could not done it without them. Our wedding day was perfect in its own way and Tennessee RiverPlace definitely played a major role in that.

Beautiful!!

My fiancé and I toured this venue a few days ago and fell in love! I’d been doing a lot of research online and TN RiverPlace was actually our second venue tour. We knew it was going to be our spot the moment we got there so we cancelled all the other ones we had set up. You have to go see it in person! Very reasonably priced and Vio is extremely helpful and professional. We’re so excited to get married here next year!

We did a tour of the property from 5,000 miles away

I don’t live anywhere close to this venue, but the staff was able to show my future mother-in-law around the property, as well stay in contact with me throughout the process. The staff was extremely flexible and willing to work with my fiancé and I as we choose our wedding venue, while both of us are away.

Gorgeous Wedding Venue

This is the most beautiful wedding venue, and the staff is amazing. The location is jaw dropping and it is very versatile with all the different areas. There's a permanent tent in case of rain and the inside is nice and cool for a hot day. Guests couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous it was, and it made my wedding a dream!!

Tennessee RiverPlace is honestly your dream venue. Hands down, no question. It is the most gorgeous venue in Chattanooga, without even needing any decoration. The staff is second to none and never make you feel like you’re inconveniencing them. Truly, it was the first place I saw, only venue visited, no hesitation or regret on immediately choosing it.

My wife and I just had our wedding here this past weekend and everything went so smoothly. The venue is absolutely beautiful, even though the weather didn't exactly cooperate! I love the fact that the tent stays up permanently and there isn't any extra charge to have to use it or change plans or layouts due to rain. The bridal and grooms suites were great, they worked with our day of coordinator really well, and worked with us to find a good time for the rehearsal the day before, even though there was another wedding going on that day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
