About this vendor

Lakeside Chic for a Wedding Retreat

Nestled in Apison, TN, Hidden Springs Venue is a countryside location for weddings and events. It is situated on a 170-acre property brimming with woodlands on the shores of a lake spanning nine acres. The professionals running the venue strive to ensure that the grounds offer a space where couples can share experiences to be treasured long after the last dance. Hidden Springs Venue was a former youth camp before being purchased by Tom and Julie Willumson in 2019. They refurbished the antique structures while adding contemporary comforts to create an idyllic place for lovebirds to gather family and friends. Trees reaching lofty heights envelop the landscape while paths wind through the shade at this picturesque locale. Both small and large weddings can be hosted at Hidden Springs Venue and it is possible to book the barn for the whole weekend. The pastoral structure has a white facade with wood accents and features large doors on all four sides. This allows the building to be opened up for guests to enjoy views of nature. Owing to the property’s past as a youth camp, there are cabins nestled across the grounds. These have been renovated for you and guests to stay the night. Two cabins possess layouts suited for couples and there are dressing-room spaces available. The cabins' designs are chic and modern with a rustic twist. Together, the buildings can accommodate up to 45 people for overnight stays. These many amenities provide you, your sweetheart, and those you love a charming setting to mark the start of your newlywed life in style.

I 🤍 Hidden Springs. From the day I first toured the property to our wedding day, the staff at Hidden Springs were amazing to work with. Emma and her team were with me every step of the way and made our wedding planning experience so easy and fun. Working with their preferred vendors made wedding planning stress-free. We had our whole wedding weekend at Hidden Springs, which made everything so special and so memorable as our families and wedding party were able to stay on site with us in the gorgeous cabins. After our rehearsal dinner, my husband and crew got to fish on the beautiful grounds while the girls hiked and the families got to rest and relax in the gorgeous cabins. Day of, Emma brought my vision to life, while I relaxed surrounded by friends and family. I didn’t have to worry about a thing but getting married and enjoying the day, and we did, thanks to their efforts and dedication to making our day perfect. I truly couldn’t imagine a better experience, and I am so thankful for Hidden Springs making our wedding experience so perfect!

The entire wedding planning process and wedding day with hidden springs venue was absolutely amazing. Not only is the property absolutely gorgeous but the staff are truly wonderful and organized my day so well. Paige was amazing to work with and answered my countless texts in the months leading up to the wedding. They also flawlessly executed my vision in the reception space. I truly cannot say enough good things about this place. From the getting ready cabins to the gorgeous scenery to the ease of my wedding day it truly was excellent. I highly recommend them!

Hidden Springs had everything we needed in a wedding venue. We looked at several venues in the Chattanooga and Nashville areas and could not be happier that we landed here. The lakefront property is beautiful, and we felt good about having multiple options for ceremony locations in case of rain. We had the best time working with Paige to plan our wedding day. She was outstanding and such a calming and organized presence that every bride needs. Paige thought of small details that we never would have, and these things were crucial in making the planning go so smoothly. She took our stress away every time we asked a question, and she had an instant answer or solution. Hidden Springs thought of everything and made our wedding day so special!

Any questions?

Hidden Spring was the perfect space for our wedding! We wanted a spot that we could really make our own and get creative with the vision we had for our wedding. Valerie & Paige were totally onboard with helping us setup a very non-traditional wedding and made it truly an epic few days. The space itself is incredible (minimal need for decoration as the scenery is so beautiful). We stayed on property the day/night before the wedding and the cabins were perfect. Very thoughtful, comfortable, beautifully done and the perfect space to celebrate with friends and family. The fact that the space was also built for weddings just means that everything runs really smoothly. The team was so helpful and ensured we had everything we needed to be present in the day. We really can't recommend Hidden Springs enough, it totally knocked our socks off and made our wedding so special!

Our wedding day at Hidden Springs Venue was incredible! We were lucky enough to have some great weather, but knew that if we needed to move indoors that the day would be just as fantastic. Paige and the rest of the HSV team was a pleasure to work with and made the big day so easy for everyone involved. The rentals and decor available from the venue for use were so helpful, especially as an out of town couple. We also rented out the cabins for the night of the wedding and we were so impressed with how easy “check in” and “check out” was for everyone coming in from out of town. The big fire pit at the top of the cabin hill was a huge hit and helped make our evening so special. I would absolutely recommend HSV to anyone looking for a wedding venue in the Chattanooga area. I am still so happy with our choice and loved every minute of our day.

Hidden Springs Venue was the perfect venue for my wedding! The staff were so helpful and nice! The day-of coordinator ensured everything flowed! Such a beautiful venue!!

The ladies went above and beyond to make sure every single detail was absolutely perfect. From checking with our vendors to decorating- these ladies did it all! I cannot recommend this venue enough. All we had to do was show up- how much more stress free can you get!? We will definitely be back to vacation in one of the cabins ❤️

Hidden Springs Venue is such a beautiful place to have a wedding! The surrounding wooden area is just beautiful and private. Julie and her team have done so much to the place and are constantly making it even more beautiful. They were so easy to work with and really want you to have the wedding of your dreams! The bridal and groomsmen cabins are decorated right out of a Pottery Barn catalog. Loved all of it! They also have a closet full of table decorations, free to use if you want. Thank you for all your help especially getting a tent for me at the last minute due to the expected rain. Even though, I couldn't have my ceremony out by the beautiful pond, everybody tried so hard to make my wedding day special and they did an awesome job! Thank you to Paige, Valerie, and Kensley for making the experience so easy and memorable.

Hidden Springs Venue was an absolute dream! My husband and I knew from the moment we first drove onto the property that it was our dream wedding venue! The property is absolutely beautiful and the entire team of staff was incredibly helpful and responsive to any questions we had. The on site groom and bridal cabins made getting ready on wedding day so easy! Everything about this venue is absolutely gorgeous and perfectly designed for a beautiful, fairytale wedding day!

11/28/2022 • Olivia M

Hidden Springs was the perfect venue for our wedding! The property is absolutely stunning, and the staff was so amazing and helpful! For anything we needed throughout the process, they were always there to answer questions and assist however we needed. We also loved the beautiful pieces in the decor closet the venue provides! It made the decorating process so much easier and allowed us to not have to haul a ton of stuff to the venue for the wedding. Overall, we truly could not have been happier with our choice in venue, and we could not have asked for a better experience for our wedding!

Had the best experience working with Paige and Valerie from Hidden Springs for my wedding! They made everything run so smoothly and were so much fun! Couldn’t recommend them enough!💕

11/01/2022 • Darian K

Hidden Springs was our perfect wedding venue! They were so accomadating throughout the whole process, answered emails quickly, and overall made sure our day was amazing. Paige and Valerie were rockstars and so easy to talk to! We did the whole weekend so we had plenty of time to set up, rehearse, and chill before the wedding. And we had cabins for everyone which was a big plus! My only comment would be for better lighting in the bridal suite near the makeup stations haha. Overall it was amazing and we had a fantastic wedding day!

Hidden Springs was the perfect venue for our wedding! With cabins for our friends and family to stay at, giving us the ability to enjoy more than just the wedding ceremony and reception with them, to the lake, the canoe, the beautiful lakefront and barn, Hidden Springs made our day truly magical. Even though it rained throughout the entire day, the staff were so calm and flexible as we shifted partially into the barn and brought in a tent for the courtyard. Paige and the staff were always so responsive to our questions and the rugs we rented from them were amazing! I could not have asked for a more perfect day and I have Hidden Springs to thank.

I could not recommend HSV more! The venue is absolutely beautiful for an indoor or outdoor wedding. I was originally anti barn for my wedding, but this one blew me away!! I also LOVED the getting ready suites & the cabins for guests to stay. The staff were amazingly helpful and the decor closet was great!! I am obsessed with this place!!

8/15/2022 • Stephanie T

We loved working with Hidden Springs Venue! The HSV team is great to work with and the venue is absolutely beautiful! They made our special day completely stress free! We have already recommended this venue to all our friends and family for their next major event. The cabins are a great add on for your special event. It's so nice to have a place to go a relax before and after the wedding. The bride and groom suites are the best for getting ready or to just relax. I highly recommend this venue to everyone. If you're looking for a place to unplug or a beautiful location to have an outdoor or barn wedding, this is the place for you!

Hidden springs was everything I wanted in a wedding venue. It was so gorgeous and fit exactly what i wanted! So happy to have had my wedding there!

8/08/2022 • Shantelle R

The Venue alone is breath taking but the staff at Hidden Springs is there to help you achieve all your wedding dreams. Anything I needed to help reach the look I was going for they were there to help. The extra decor closet, the suggestions, and the help with execution helped my the day perfect. Having all the cabins on site was so ideal for helping make the day relaxing and convenient!

8/01/2022 • Jessica W

This venue is SO GORGEOUS!!! If you just want the event barn, with the ceremony outside overlooking the lake, or a weekend getaway wedding where family and friends stay in the cabins on site, this venue is perfect. The team at Hidden Springs Venue went above and beyond to make our wedding planning smooth and the day of to go smooth as well. During the venue search, HSV allowed us to come stay in one of their cabins the night before they gave us a tour of all the other cabins and the event barn/ceremony space. They also have free decor collections, as well as decor rentals that you can choose from and they’ll set it out for you to decorate with. We booked them for 3 day (Friday-Sunday). Friday night we had the rehearsal dinner there and had all day to set up for that and the ceremony the next day. Then on Sunday, we had the morning to clean up and pack up. About a month before the wedding, they will take you through a final walk through of the wedding to finalize the floor plan and where the vendors will set up. They were also clear with the clean up and other “rules”—nothing crazy or anything. I worked with Paige during the whole process and she was so helpful with any questions I had, and she was there on the day to help with things my coordinator couldn’t, etc. Recommend 10000000%

We absolutely loved this venue! Paige was super helpful through the whole process and the venue is gorgeous! Our wedding day was like a dream!

7/17/2022 • Jenny G

Hidden Springs was the PERFECT venue for my wedding and the style I wanted. I was determined to do it outside, but wanted it to be more woodsy and boho rather than farm-y. At Hidden Springs I got to have my wedding outside in the woods overlooking a beautiful pond, but have my reception inside the modern barn! The staff here was also so accommodating and helpful, I could not have asked for better. They let us come as much as we wanted to look around and plan, and even come early to set up and rehearse the day of and before. It was even better than I imagined it, don’t walk, RUN to Hidden Springs!!!

5/24/2022 • Brandi S

Hidden Springs was the perfect wedding venue. The property is so beautifully set. We had access to all of the renovated cabins for our guests to stay overnight. The staff was so accommodating. They allowed us onto the property a month prior so that we could "Bury the Bourbon" for good weather on the big day. They left gift baskets in each of the cabins full of locally sourced goods for our guests. Hidden Springs made our wedding day better than we could have ever imagined.

5/16/2022 • heather m

The venue was great, they didn't have the cabin ready in time for the guys which was the biggest bummer, but they were super accommodating on where we wanted to have the ceremony . The location was beautiful and the property is only getting better. I wish I could have my wedding there again to do the reception outside by the trees.

5/03/2022 • Jackie S

Having my wedding at Hidden Springs Venue was truly a dream. The team went above and beyond expectations. Their communication was incredible and made me feel so at peace about the day. They worked wonderfully with me months before to the day of. Everyone raved and continues to rave about how beautiful it was, especially the lakeside ceremony and cabins for family! The reason my fiancé and I picked this one was because of how genuine of a space it is. My fiancé and I didn’t think we’d find a space that reflected us and felt we could relax in, until we found HSV! I truly can’t say enough about this venue! We love them!!!!

4/14/2022 • Anna R

We LOVE Hidden Springs! You truly cannot beat the experience of staying on the property in the cabins. Paige made the entire process so easy and seamless, and we really appreciated the attention and time she put into helping us have the perfect day. All of our guests were so impressed with how beautiful the venue was. I can't recommend Hidden Springs enough!!

4/14/2022 • Rachel G

Wow! I can't say enough good things about this place. My husband and I were able to to book our date only about THREE months until our wedding, and the staff at Hidden Springs helped us to navigate the stress of planning on such short notice! Planning was great with how flexible and customizable things were! The bridal suite is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and it's impossible not to feel like a princess in there. The location is tucked just far enough way, but not at all hard to find, and was still convenient enough for my mom to run into town on wedding day and grab some things. The barn has a rustic yet modern feel that fit our style perfectly :) Above all, Paige Hicks and the staff here were absolutely amazing. She was very accommodating and flexible throughout the whole process and made our day so special. She worked out any issues so professionally, but was still laid back enough to feel like a friend! Since our wedding, they've even added some features that really elevate this place. Pricing and contracts were transparent and easy to navigate, and you get more than what you pay for here. Thanks Paige!

Hidden Springs Venue is truly a hidden gem. The drive is worth the view and completely amazing staff... and it’s actually really close to town and the interstate. We got married in December and, thankfully, had perfect weather. Wedding planning can be stressful but the staff at Hidden Springs were so accommodating and helpful through the entire process. From the time we booked to the day of our wedding, we knew we were in good hands. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a venue from 5 to 120 guests. It is gorgeous and detailed in every way. The cabins made for a memorable time with family while celebrating our marriage.

Our wedding at Hidden Springs Venue was a dream come true! Everything went so smoothly and we couldn't have asked for better communication from the staff. We had our ceremony by the lake and reception inside the barn. The barn, landscaping, and cabins to get ready in were all beautiful. We would definitely recommend Hidden Springs Venue!
