The best wedding venue! They had everything running so smoothly I really felt like I didn’t have to worry about anything. I am so grateful we chose here for our wedding and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

This is by far the best wedding venue in Tennessee. Everything about Willow Ridge is amazing. My wedding was absolutely perfect. I cannot thank them enough for being apart of our special day.

Choosing Willow Ridge as our destination wedding venue was easily one of the best decisions we made when planning our event. Townsend is the perfect little town nestled outside the busier areas of the Smokies.
