Ramble Creek Reviews

From the beginning Emma, Amy, Jenny, and Halea were incredible to work with. The day we toured the venue we fell in love (and left with a cat). The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for and for a neurotic type A personality like me, that meant a lot. Throughout the process I was full of questions. Not a single one went unanswered. The ladies were there day and night to work with me and to make sure our day was exactly as we envisioned it. And it was. The day of the wedding went off without a single hitch. The staff was polite, well dressed, courteous and seemed to have a good time too! Ramble Creek is a one stop shop so they handled our food as well. The food was heavenly and we wanted to try a non-traditional cake flavor and the chefs did not disappoint. We got so many compliments on the place and the food. I have nothing but glowing things to say about Ramble Creek. 10/10!

I had my wedding here and everything was amazing. Emma was so amazing and helped throughout the whole process. The Ramble Creek staff were all amazing and so professional as well. They make it so stress free and easy. I couldn't imagine having my wedding anywhere else but here! The venue is everything you can dream of and more! I would recommend them to anyone every single time.

We LOVED everything about our day! We really appreciated Emma (our wedding coordinator) and the rest of the staff keeping everyone informed about what’s going on or what’s happening next. Everything ran smoothly! The food was absolutely delicious! We still have guests talking about it to this day- my husband said it was by far the best Buffalo chicken dip he ever had. We couldn’t have asked for a better day or a better team! THANK YOU!

I cannot express how perfect this place is. They take care of EVERYTHING and I mean it when I say EVERYTHING!! They were so flexible, kind and accommodating and I seriously cannot recommend enough. Ramble has become family!

We toured several venues and this was by far the most beautiful and well thought out one!! It is seriously like something out of a magazine. I can’t rave enough about the incredible staff from Jenny, one of the owners, to our wedding coordinator Emma Trew, who was so knowledgeable, caring, and professional especially on our wedding day. Emma stood by our side and provided every little thing we need whether it be last minute updates to our table arrangements or ibuprofen when I got a headache. She was truly incredible. Amy Stratton, the wedding director was also super helpful and friendly. The executive chef, Josh Frieze, created the most delicious food that our guests couldn’t get enough of. The executive pastry chef, Eva Gray, also did not disappoint with her beautiful and moist deserts. She even made a keto cake for my wife. The florist, Connie, crafted absolutely beautiful bouquets that we are keeping. Every single person from the staff that we encountered was friendly, professional and attentive. We seriously don’t have a single complaint. Ramble Creek made our wedding day absolutely perfect. I wish we could get married again just to experience it twice.

We also HIGHLY recommend staying in the Manor the nights before and of the wedding. Jenny and her husband did an incredible job and it is the most beautiful house we have ever seen. Our bridesmaids are still raving about it to this day.

Ramble Creek was THE best venue! Everything is so beautiful & the staff was great!!! Food was amazing. You have option of the staff handling everything from start to finish, or you can simply choose to use the venue + food and bring in decor or add certain items 'a la carte'. Our guests were raving about how perfect of a wedding venue this was & we couldn't be happier. Jenny, Emma, Halea, Megan, and other staff were all wonderful. We used their preferred vendors as well (photo, DJ, baker, florals) which were all great! The entire staff had a calmness & positive attitude throughout the entire day, which made it that much more enjoyable. They really consider all of your needs in the planning process & make the day special! They were also very flexible in changing of plans both on the wedding day & on the months leading up to it during decision making.

We also rented out the Manor House for our wedding party for the entire weekend - this is a large house at the top of the hill on venue site that comfortably sleeps 22 people...has a hot tub/pool/large gathering space. It was SO much fun & very special having all of our favorite people stay close with us for the weekend!

The day went by so fast but couldn't have been more perfect!

WOW! Cannot recommend Ramble Creek enough. There’s not enough space in this box to tell you how amazed I was with anything and everything! Best decision I made regarding my wedding. The venue is absolutely breathtaking and that’s without adding any floral touches or anything like that. The staff is absolutely WONDERFUL! They do such a good job of making you feel so special for your big day - leading up to it and throughout the actual day. The food is to die for! And just everything they provide makes for such a smooth and flawless wedding day! I’m forever grateful to them for making my dreams come true on my wedding day! This will forever be such a special spot to me and the staff will always hold a special place in my heart (especially Emma). You can’t go wrong with choosing Ramble Creek.

Weddings are filled with emotions… there’s so much planning and a myriad of details that one cannot possibly remember on their own. I’m so glad we found Ramble Creek to guide us through the twists and turns while being a calming vibe throughout the journey. As the mother of the bride, who worked closely with their staff, it was comforting to know this most special day was in the hands of kind and caring professionals!
Everything from the breathtaking venue itself, to the food, music, and ambiance was simply magical! I would highly recommend using Ramble Creek vendors. The florist, Anne, and her daughter will bring your floral wedding vision to life. The floral arrangements and bouquets were a work of art! As for the food, Chef Josh created a most delicious and well-presented menu, and everything was wonderfully served by the staff. And the wedding cake was picture perfect, along with the adorable and YUMMY cupcakes! Thank you, Eva! The DJ, Andrew, is also amazing, and we highly recommend using him. And now for the gem of the venue, in my humble opinion, Emma the coordinator. If there’s one vendor you don’t want to pass on, it’s the wedding coordinator. Thank you, Emma, for your guidance, creative input, professionalism, and calming influence through it all. Your attention not only to detail, but to people (the bride and groom, bridal party, family, and our guests), is exceptional. So big thanks to you and Amy! Once again, thank you Jenny Yates and Ramble Creek for a most memorable day. As parent our greatest joy was hearing our daughter say, “Thank you for giving me my dream wedding!”

This venue is truly what every bride dreams. From the moment I walked in to first view it, I was won over by the beauty and elegance of the venue. Once meeting the staff, I felt such ease knowing every detail would be taken care of. As the bride, I was able to enjoy getting ready with my bridesmaids while Emma and Amy did such a wonderful job setting everything up the day of the ceremony and it was BEAUTIFUL. I feel like that one job takes so much stress away from the bride and family as well to just relax and enjoy the day. I used their florist, DJ, and catering and ALL were fantastic. The whole entire staff go above and beyond to make the day as perfect as possible. I wish I could relive our day over and over again, and I wouldn’t change a thing about it. The most perfect venue!

My husband and I got married in November of 2021 at Ramble Creek and the one word I would use to explain my wedding day is “Hallmark”. Like many brides, I was very confused on what I wanted exactly and I often changed my mind, even the week of my wedding. Ramble creek accommodated all my request, needs, and wants. We also rented the manor at Ramble creek on our wedding night for the wedding party and it was the best decision we ever made. We made so many memories with our close friends. The manor is something right out of a movie, it even has a TN rock slide, hot tub, and a gorgeous view of the estate and mountains. Ramble creek also offers catering to the manor:) The Venue also offers a florist, on site coordinator, wedding planer, and the owner Jenny is only a call/text away. I used their florist, chef, on site coordinator, planner, and spoke with Jenny multiple times and everyone was kind, uplifting, and encouraging. If you choose this venue, you wont be disappointed:)

After looking at a lot of venues in the Knoxville area we decided to land on Ramble Creek because it was the perfect combination of what we wanted and the price we could afford. It was a little further out from Knoxville than we originally wanted but it had the perfect outdoor setting while also having an indoor (airconditioned!) space for the reception. It was also outdoorsy but classy. (It hard to find outdoor venues in TN that aren't super rustic/country feeling). The staff was great to work with. We loved meeting with the chef, he was so accommodating and told us he could do whatever we wanted and not to be limited by what was on their list. The bakery was great as well, the cupcakes we had tasted so good. The florals were very flexible too since we were getting most of the flowers elsewhere I only needed greenery for the tables and they were happy to help even with just that. Ramble Creek is great in that you could easily use them for everything in the wedding which makes it so much less stressful but there is also flexibility with other things. I loved not having separate vendors for food, the cake, the DJ etc. They were also very flexible to the last minute and made it very easy to work with them day of. The only thing I wish we had done was use their own coordinator. (We had a family friend who was a coordinator offer to do it but since I didn't know her well myself and she didn't know the venue I think it would have made things a little easier just to use RC's coordinator). You won't regret choosing RC!

It is such a beautiful venue inside and out! Each staff involved was willing and able to make the day the way we wanted it. Their organization and professionalism made wedding planning less stressful. The chef made an amazing dinner we will never forget!

We are so very happy we went with Ramble Creek!! If you are looking for a stress free wedding look no further. They made our day so perfect. Every single member of ramble creek and their vendors were kind and fast to respond to any question we had. Having one place that took care of everything allowed us to enjoy our day (it goes so fast the last thing i wanted was to be stressed about the details). 15/10 we couldn’t be more pleased with them.

Too much to say about this incredible venue! I have worked with venues and vendors all over the country, and this place is a GOLDMINE for quality everything!

From their communication, to their staff, to their in house catering and cake, to the landscaping, to the venue design, layout and function --- its all 100% A+ in my opinion!

We loved planning Makena Lautners magical wedding at Ramble Creek and we CANT WAIT to be back! See you all soon!

EXCELLENT! My daughter and son-in-law got married at Ramble Creek in April. The venue is beautiful and gives multiple options for indoor and outdoor ceremonies. The staff and wedding coordinators are wonderful and really work with you to individualize the event. The chef and the food cannot be beat - he was very flexible and helped with some challenging food allergies as well. And all of this was very affordable! Highly recommended!

From the moment I walked in the doors at Ramble Creek, I knew this was where I had to have my wedding! Working with Halea, Buck & Jenny throughout the entire process was a dream. They are so detailed and are willing to work with you every step of the way. I can't put into words how thankful I am that we found this special place! The staff is phenomenal. Jacquie, Eva & Megan were amazing and provided the best food, cake and bar service. So many of our guests complimented each one of them which made me so happy! Rebecca, with the Athens Flower Shop made my wedding day bouquet dreams come true! Every floral and greenery detail was better than I could have imagined. I can't thank Audrey Gruber (our day-of coordinator) and Amy Stratton (our wedding director) enough for handling every little detail and making sure the day was perfect. They took care of everything and made sure I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day! If you are looking for a gorgeous and unique wedding venue, look no further! Ramble Creek is the best in the business!

If you read nothing past this line, BOOK, THIS VENUE IS IT, AMAZING, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!

Ramble Creek is SUPERB! My fiance(now husband) and I visited over 10 venues in the southeast. Ramble Creek was the very last place we visited and almost immediately it was a yes. The staff is so professional! From the very first email, we got so much information and options. Once we arrived the venue is BREATHTAKING! The pictures are great but seeing the property in person is unbelievable. They made this process so seamless!!!! They help you plan your dream wedding with little to no work on your end! You just have to say yes or no, and state your ideas. It is truly an all-inclusive venue. The food is absolutely delicious, and they have great vegan/vegetarian options as well. Even with COVID, they worked with us so well in adjusting and being so accommodating with such uncertainty. Everything leading up to the big day was so well thought out, planned and so specific to us!

The big day, I have no idea how else to say this but It was truly the best day of my life and the RC team played a HUGE role in that. I was so calm and truly enjoyed my day because I did not have to worry about a single detail. I just enjoyed my day (there are truly no words to state the value of this)! I was so happy! The professionalism is outstanding! Just the little things that made it amazing! Even last-minute additions and changes they just made it happen. All of our friends and family LOVED the property and we got so many compliments on how delicious the food was.

Their attention to detail is like no other. From the way the venue is physically set up(for amazing pictures), to things you just do not realize makes your day. At the end of the night, they packed us a to-go plate to eat and cake! We were so busy mingling with our guests and dancing we did not realize we barely ate.

The decorating, our wedding coordinator, the chefs, the staff, everything was just AMAZING! Ramble Creek, thank you for helping me turn my vision into reality!

Future brides, go no further, you can not get any better than Ramble Creek.

It's so hard to sum up everything into one review, but bottom line... from the food to the staff to the property, the grand hall, bridal suite... everything is AMAZING and they go above and beyond to make you feel at ease and taken care of. If something went wrong on our day, we didn't have a clue! They handled everything with a perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism. The food was incredible, the DJ was so much fun, and our event coordinator, Jessica, was so SWEET and made sure everything was how we envisioned it... We had an October wedding and it rained the entire day, ruining our dream of an outdoor wedding, but Jessica did an incredible job of turning the grand hall into even more of a breathtaking space than it originally is. I could rave about this place forever! I wish we could do it all over again!

I can’t say enough how perfect of a venue Ramble Creek was for our wedding. With the smallest of effort, this venue was completely captivating for us and our guests. The authentic wood charm with white accents made for the perfect backdrop. Even though the property itself is like a dream, the staff are even more incredible. They were there to guide and support us through our day effortlessly. Every issue that came up, they were able to address. Even after the event ended and we had some items that didn’t go to plan, they were able to help compensate. We want to say a special thanks to Lindsey Trotter (day of coordinator) and Amy Stratton (director for the staff/venue) for all the amazing help they gave me and our guests on the day of the wedding. We couldn’t have done it without you and all the staff there to assist. Ramble was the perfect match for our wedding, and we’d choose it over time and time again.

My husband and I got married at Ramble Creek in November 2019 and everything was honestly perfect. Every person we worked with (from the initial tour with Halea to planning with Jenny and executing with Audrey and Megan and everyone in between) was so kind and personable and helpful! We never felt stressed and were always so well taken care of. In addition to that, the grounds are beautiful and the building has so many amazing and unique details. The food is so yummy and the chef helped us to create our perfect custom breakfast food menu for our day! All in all, we had the best experience and have nothing negative to say about Ramble Creek - we wish we could do it all over again! We would definitely recommend a million times over!

To say Ramble Creek exceeded every single one of our expectations for our perfect day would be an absolute understatement. From the initial tour and the booking process to our selections day, every email/phone call in between and, most importantly, our wedding day, their kindness, attention to detail, and overall gorgeous venue atmosphere was an absolute dream! “Absolute perfection” is just not good enough to say the least when it comes to how my husband and I, along with our family members and friends, felt about our rehearsal dinner and wedding day. They made every aspect of our wedding planning process so easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Ramble Creek to any bride and groom who is seeking an all-inclusive, top-of-the-line wedding venue at an affordable price. Their team is very knowledgeable about industry trends, classic and timeless feels and more, and is certainly the BEST in the business by far.

From the moment I walked into Ramble Creek I knew I wanted to get married there. Buck showed us around and graciously answered all of our questions. We sat down with him and went over all of Ramble’s guidelines and he provided us with a very detailed price-breakdown of our anticipated services. From the beginning they were nothing but transparent and super helpful in bringing our wedding vision to life.

The venue itself is so naturally beautiful that it really doesn’t need a lot of ‘sprucing up’ compared to a lot of other places. The property has so much to offer beyond the grand hall which was another deciding factor for us. We knew that we wanted our ceremony outside; we had a cigar bar around the fire place, and utilized the lower lawn for giant yard games for our guests to play during the reception.

Once we decided to book the venue I primarily worked with Jenny to get our plans set in motion. I can’t even tell you how many emails back and forth we had, but Jenny was a dream to work with and answered every question I could think of down to the tiniest details. Leading up to the wedding I felt very confident that the day would be perfect because Ramble Creek had been so easy to coordinate with. All of the food and bartending service was through them which made it even easier to have fewer vendors. If you’re a couple who are looking for a more inclusive venue then this is the place for you – they offer so many services in house that it will make your planning process a breeze!

A few weeks before the wedding I was introduced to our venue director Megan who served as our point of contact on the big day. While we had a coordinator for our ceremony and flow of events, Megan was SO incredibly helpful. She made sure that everything got set up in its place, and even helped keep me calm when it started to rain during our outdoor ceremony. I was worried about how all the transitions would go, but Megan and her staff handled everything with ease and made the night go by seamlessly. She really is such a sweetheart and genuinely wants to make your day as stress-free and enjoyable as possible! On the actual wedding day I felt like I had to hardly worry about a thing and could just enjoy myself while getting ready.

I wish I could relive the day over and over in part because of the dedicated work that the staff of Ramble Creek did for us. I can’t speak highly enough to their level of service and dedication to helping couples make their wedding dreams come true. Weddings are of course about the love that two people share, but having a venue that pulls all the details together certainly helps! Ramble Creek went above and beyond our expectations, and I’m sure they will for you too!

It has been just over three weeks since I walked my baby down the aisle, and if I were to encapsulate my review into a single thought, it would be to wish that I were able to replicate that day...every single weekend...for the rest of my life!

Bottom line...it was an unquestionably perfect day!

We first began this journey back in Sept ‘18, and upon our mutual commitment all the way through the reception, I have never experienced a higher level of customer satisfaction than what was consistently rendered by these professionals.

From the moment we pulled through the entrance gate, we were awed by the sheer splendor of this XX-acre plot of land that was seemingly drawn into the countryside by an artist of great renown. We were then given a walking tour of the grounds that prompted me to think that I had wasted a good bulk of my day visiting other venues that were neither comparable in terms of beauty nor ambience, and the sense of genuine tranquility the missus and I perceived informed us that our search was over.

And even if there were ever any sliver of doubt, it was quickly dismissed in meeting with one of the co-owners (Jenny Yates), whose confident approach to answering our stream of questions was equally matched by a sense of elegance whereby we knew that she only had one standard...excellence!

Over the next 10 months she and her team did not disappoint.

In summary...
- the owners (Buck & Jenny Yates) kept us informed of every detail throughout the process; accommodated any change that we had; and were open to receive/offer any suggestions that would ultimately improve and what will be a lifelong memory
- coordination of vendors through the team was effortless
- setup of the entire grounds was pristine, regal and befitting a princess
- food (appetizers, main course and dessert offerings) was absolutely delicious and more than proportionate
- timing of the reception agenda events flowed seamlessly
- transition between reception and party was transparent to all in attendance
- the DJ kept spinning tunes that kept the floor hopping (I know...reference shows my age) and his personality was "on fleek" throughout the night (more modern reference ;-)
- the Wedding Director (Jessica) as well as the driver of the shuttle were...by their actions...equally invested in ensuring that everyone in attendance had the time of their lives

BTW...I later found out that the shuttle driver was Buck's father...Mr. Yates, and from talking to others I believe he made it a point to hold a conversation with all 120+ guests. Buck and his father prove the old axiom, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." If I may add Mr. Yates...thank you Sir, for going out of your way to personally enhance our overall experience.

Lastly, if I may humble brag, we made the incredibly smart decision to contract for the services of a wedding coordinator, and on the day of the blessed event our coordinator Lindsey took the reins, eliminating any potential missteps and proceeded to guide the entire day in an expert manner usually reserved for celebrities. At least that's how we felt ;-)

HINT: ask for Lindsey by name...she was outstanding!!!

Again, there are many, many thoughts that come to mind...Amazing...Exemplary...Wonderful...and one may feel free to use any other superlative found in Webster’s Dictionary, as each would accurately describe the end-to-end process we'd evaluate of allowing Jenny and Buck Yates to direct what will arguably be one of the more memorable days in the life of who I will always lovingly refer to as my little girl.

Ramble Creek Team...both my wife and I, on behalf of our daughter, want to thank you for your diligence in perfectly executing a vision that likely began when she was truly a little girl, and from the bottom of our hearts we just want to say, "Thank you...for everything!"

I cannot recommend Ramble Creek Events Center enough!

Everything about Ramble Creek and their staff is exceptional! I truly cannot put into words how wonderfully beautiful this venue is, as well as the people who make it this way. Jenny and Buck did everything in their power to make sure our day was everything we wanted it to be--if not more! We were an out of town couple who hadn't even seen the venue before booking and Jenny and Buck went above and beyond to get everything set for our perfect day. From the countless emails, texts, and struggles (throwing the unexpected of the Army into this planning), Ramble Creek made sure our day went swimmingly and allowed us to have fun, be carefree, and celebrate our love with family and friends! The recommend vendors was extremely helpful with last minute planning and it could not have been any better. Everything was perfect--from the food, the people, the music, the flowers and decor... EVERYTHING! Our guests still can't stop talking about how perfect our day was and this is all thanks to Ramble Creek! Alex and I are forever grateful for Ramble Creek and will look back on how wonderful this day was for the rest of our lives.
