Maple Grove Estate Reviews

Booking Maple Grove Estate for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. It was the only venue we toured because everything about it was perfect. The entire property is gorgeous and well-maintained. Karen is extremely kind and she worked with me for the whole year prior, answering my questions through email in a timely manner. Karen and her husband were both present on the day and helped make the whole experience even more enjoyable for us and our guests. We highly recommend!!

I can not say enough good things about this wedding venue! My husband and I toured at the recommendation of our wedding planner, and I knew the moment I walked on site that it was where I wanted our wedding to be. The owner, Karen, is such a gem, and there are so many things about the venue that made it perfect. Not only was it absolutely gorgeous, but we loved that there were large, spacious, separate bride and grooms quarters to get ready in and that we (as the couple) were able to spend the night there after the wedding. We absolutely loved our experience at Maple Grove and had so many guests tell us that they loved it too. If you book your wedding here, you definitely won't regret it!

Maple Grove Estate was everything we had dreamed of for a wedding venue! We toured multiple wedding venues around the Knoxville area, and we knew as soon as we arrived at Maple Grove Estate, that it would be "the one". We met Karen on our tour, and her warm and welcoming personality did not go unnoticed. What stood out to us the most, is that Maple Grove Estate is a family owned wedding venue. And trust us when we say, that on your wedding day, you are going to feel just like family! Maple Grove Estate is absolutely stunning, so we kept things simple and let the venue speak for itself. My bridesmaids and I got ready on-site in the gorgeous bridal suite, and the groomsmen got ready upstairs in the groom's quarters. We got lucky with perfect Knoxville Spring weather, but rented a tent for the reception just in case. The month-of-coordinator, Amanda, was also extremely helpful and so incredibly good at what she does. We ended up hiring Karen's daughter-in-law, Megan Connors Floral & Styling, as our florist. Karen, Amanda, Megan, & team were absolutely unstoppable on the day-of. As someone who likes to be in control, I surprisingly left our day-of set up to them and couldn't have asked for anything better. I actually loved that I was just as surprised and in awe of everything as our guests were! We would 10/10 recommend Maple Grove Estate and we are so thankful for the great and professional experience they provided us with on our wedding day. -The Mitchells 05.01.21

If you’re engaged and don’t know where to start, start with your venue. We visited several places and liked many of them but the second we arrived at Maple Grove and made the turn into the drive, it just felt different and special. The house itself is stunning with all you could dream of for bridal and groom’s suites. The landscape is also indescribably beautiful with several options for a ceremony space. But-what truly sets this place apart from the many other places we considered-the people. Karen, the owner, are the most hospitable and gracious hosts and do not make you feel as if you’re on a matrimonial assembly line. Amanda and Devin, the planners with Southern Bliss, took care of every detail I needed and made sure that the only thing I had to focus on was getting to marry the love of my life. Seriously, book your wedding here. You will not regret it!

This venue is quite the hidden gem in west Knoxville. Tucked away off Westland Drive, it provides a beautiful wedding experience. You have so many options for ceremony/reception spaces, and the house itself is to die for. Not to mention, the Shankles are lovely people and just a joy to work with. Could not recommend this venue more!

Wedding event planner was very poor. We were displeased.
Even flowers were not delivered to groomsmen plus other people were not helped and guided during events pre and post ceremony
Beautiful venue but event planner was unprofessional and disappointing
