Guys, take my word for it. Book. Your. Wedding. Here. Agneta and her team made rescheduling with them (we’ve been planning SINCE 2019!!!) the best experience ever. Every time I sat with them for planning, my worries were always lifted off my sh...

oulders. The whole team is kind, caring, sweet, and easy going. They made a difficult year easy and helped me execute my absolute dream wedding. Plus, their location is so convenient to Knoxville, it feels like a little getaway in the middle of West Knoxville. Not to mention - the food they make is EXCELLENT. I got so many compliments on the venue and the food - we had salads, pulled pork, chicken thighs, mac and cheese, and potato salad. All of them were to die for. I really have many good things I can’t think to say them all, but I can say - you will have the best time if you book with them.

Melanie was amazing from the start! We booked Lighthouse Knoxville about a year in advance and when everything started to change due to COVID-19, she was willing to work with us in anyway possible. Originally we were going to have the ceremony ...

& reception at Lighthouse Knoxville & of course have them cater. Unfortunately we had to make different plans as things changed. We changed the location to Loudon and the size of wedding significantly. Melanie worked with us and helped us with everything! She was the caterer, the coordinator, and much more! Every time we sat down and talked with her, at the end we felt relief because she was there to help us. In the end, she was amazing, the food was amazing, and everything went smoothly. It truly was the perfect day. I highly recommend going with Melanie at Lighthouse Knoxville for venue, catering, and coordination!

My husband and I were very happy that we chose the Lighthouse as our reception venue. The staff is very responsive and attentive, which makes the planning process less stressful. There were great menu options that gave us flexibility to choose ...

a meal we were happy with and that also fit our budget. We also loved the indoor-outdoor space that the Lighthouse provides. I would recommend the Lighthouse to any friend looking for a reception venue.

I am so happy I chose to have my wedding at the Lighthouse. I was a bride on a budget and looked at a lot of places to find the best deal and the Lighthouse was it! You get the venue for a full 13 hours and they include tables, chairs, and lin...

ens. The setting was beautiful with tons of space! There are two very large porches and the inside is beautiful with some amazing hardwood floors,big windows, and high ceilings. I loved how nothing was going to clash with my theme. They keep everything very simple and clean. They have no crazy green carpet or red walls so each bride can make the venue their own. Each bride gets two to three meetings with a coordinator to make sure everyone is on the same page for the day of the event. My only complaint was that I thought the coordinator would do more. I thought she would keep the flow of the day going and let the DJ know when things needed to be done but she didn't. The coordinator will make sure all the table and chairs are set up and she will tell the wedding party when to walk. Luckily I was prepared for this and had a family friend step in and keep the flow of the event going. You don't pay extra for the day of coordination so it wasn't a big deal but it is good to be prepared to have someone else there. Over all it was a great place to have the best day of my life.
