We have been excited about Ramble Creek since the earliest stages of simple drawings, concept ideas, and scribbles on napkins! Since before we knew we would call this place "Ramble Creek," and long before the final details were solidified or first employee was hired, we fell in love with the spirit of what we were hoping to create here. And now that everything is finished and we are able to play a major role in the forever memories of all the special people that gather here, we could not be more please with this venue, property and the wonderful weddings we are able to host here.

No words could truly describe how happy I am that we chose Ramble Creek for our venue! Everyone there is so kind, compassionate, and patient. They helped us plan our dream wedding for 230+ guests. I am very type A and this entire process was so smooth and simple. I was stress free the entire planning process thanks to Emma and Jenny! Audrey and Sage made sure the wedding day went perfectly according to plan. I will recommend RC to everyone from now on!

Ramble Creek was the perfect venue for our daughter’s wedding! When we began planning, we knew we needed a venue that could accommodate 250+ people. After our initial visit to Ramble Creek, we were so impressed with their beautiful property and all of the services they could provide that we booked with them that day. Our daughter’s goal was for her family and friends to be present in the moment and not running around worrying about wedding day details. We could tell that was also the goal of the Ramble Creek owners and staff. Our communication started immediately, mostly via emails, but also through some video conferences closer to the wedding date. They were prompt to answer any questions we had, and they were able to offer suggestions for things we weren’t sure about.
On the day of the wedding, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! It was so much fun! We showed up bright and early, sat in the beautiful bridal suite, got pampered, ate a delicious brunch, and had a great time getting ready. (We hear the guys had a great time too!) From the bridal suite, we could look down into the reception hall and watch a lot of the work taking place. They were hard at work, and we were having fun.
Audrey, our day-of coordinator, did a great job keeping things on track. The wedding ceremony went off without any issues and the reception was perfect. Our guests were so complimentary of the beautiful venue, the elegant reception, and the excellent food. We heard a lot of comments saying it was the best wedding ever! Our daughter was thrilled and thought it was perfect too! Thank you Ramble Creek for helping make our daughter’s dream wedding come true!

Ramble Creek is not only incredibly beautiful, it also has the best staff you could possibly find. The team here made my wedding planning virtually stress-free, and they made the actual day an absolute dream! AND for the vast amount of services they cover (floral, catering, cakes, officiants, and more) it is remarkably affordable.
As a queer couple, my wife and I were anxious about finding a venue and other vendors in Tennessee that would happily meet our wants and needs, and this team did so with true joy and support. We are so thankful to have had such a positive and uplifting experience.
You will truly not be able to find a better venue in all of Tennessee (and honestly probably the whole country)! I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We had our absolute fairy tale wedding at Ramble Creek! They made the planning process so seamless and could not have been more helpful (Emma was an absolute rock star).

The venue is absolutely breath taking and everything we were searching for & the onsite accommodations are outstanding and take the venue to another level! Could not recommend them enough!

Ramble Creek provided a perfect beautiful Fall wedding for our daughter and her husband. The professionalism of the team made it a flawless day! Our coordinator, Emma worked with us from day one, over a year out from the big day, helping us build the dream into a reality. We used all of their onsite vendors, making everything SO much easier, and they were all top notch! The flowers were exactly as promised and all of our guests are still talking about the delicious food! It was obvious that they thought about every detail in how the bride and groom's get ready areas are set up. In addition, they have several houses on the property that can be reserved to stay at. We stayed at the large Manor House, which made the night before and the day of so much easier, being only steps away. Another plus about Ramble Creek was how they are prepared to "flip" to an indoor ceremony if the weather turns bad for a planned outdoor ceremony. It was iffy for us right up until the day before, but it was reassuring knowing we would be taken care of if rain did cause a change. This momma was very comforted knowing that Ramble Creek would go above and beyond to make it the perfect day and the certainly did! I highly recommend!

As a wedding photographer, I recently had the pleasure of capturing a wedding at Ramble Creek. I have photographed multiple weddings at their venue and every time it exceeds my expectations.
The attention to detail by their staff was remarkable. Emma (wedding coordinator) was so professional and friendly and made the day run so smoothly. She worked hand in hand with the couple and vendors, including myself, to create the flawless day for our couple. If there were any hiccups, even I didn't know about them because she kept it running flawlessly.
Everything about Ramble Creek is a photographers dream, the beautiful wooded reception area, the green landscape around the barn and the large pond, and my personal favorite, the large bridal suite with the perfect lighting for beautiful photographs. There is such a variety in landscape, you'll never run out of amazing places for photos.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ramble Creek if you are looking for a venue to hold your wedding day and I seriously can't wait to capture more love stories here.

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.

My husband and I picked Ramble Creek after scouting out many venues on The Knot because we were impressed by its beauty, the professionalism of the staff when we did our first FaceTime, and because of the 'all inclusive' packaging since we would be planning a wedding out of state. We absolutely could not be more happy with our choice. The Ramble Creek staff helped and guided us through the wedding planning process to create our perfect wedding and the best weekend of our lives :) We could not recommend Ramble Creek enough, the venue is gorgeous, the food is amazing (our friends are still raving about the dinner and dessert!), and the staff are spectacular. Emma especially went above and beyond, ensuring all of our little details were included leading up to our wedding and then on the day of she did everything from ensuring John and I had food, drinks, water, and even some alone time! I also highly recommend renting the Manor for the weekend, makes for a fun and memorable wedding weekend, not to mention transportation to and from the venue easy. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff that keep the wedding planning process easy, stress-free, and a ton of fun. Our friends keep saying how this was the best wedding they had ever been too! We had a blast and wouldn't change a thing :)
Much love,
Rosa & John

We would choose Ramble Creek time and time again! We LOVED everything about our day! There’s nothing we would have changed about our special 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! 🤍

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.

We just got married here and I can’t recommend it enough. Beautiful location and not too far from Nashville, Knoxville, or Chattanooga. It was our dream venue that we fell in love with it.

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.

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!
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!

Ramble Creek Vineyards was the wedding venue of OUR DREAMS!!!!!!!!! We knew from the photos before we even came to visit that it was the venue for us. They made the whole planning process incredibly easy. I loved how they were so quick to respond whenever I had a question, Jenny and Emma especially!
Fast forward to our wedding weekend! Emma was absolutely incredible in organizing everyone for the rehearsal. If anything bad happened on our day, I had no idea- Emma and Amy had us both at ease and made sure we were taken care of. The one moment of panic that i had was when mud got all over the bottom of my dress after our first look. Emma got down in the floor along with my husband and photographer and scrubbed the bottom of my dress with baby wipes and a tide to go pen. The food and cake….I can’t even begin to express how much we loved it. Everything was absolutely perfect.
Thank you Emma, Amy, Jenny, and the Ramble Creek Family!!! We will refer you all to everyone we know!!!!!

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:)

My husband and I are from North Carolina and chose Ramble Creek because of the services they offer and the beauty of the venue. We had to postpone due to COVID and everyone was so understanding and helpful in finding us a new date. Our wedding day at Ramble Creek ended up being absolutely magical. Emma, our day of coordinator, was incredible-she made me feel completely at ease and helped rescue my wedding dress when it got dirty before the ceremony from walking outside. Everyone loved all the food and desserts, the flowers were perfect, our DJ was great, and the ceremony and reception were so incredibly beautiful! I honestly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are to have chosen Ramble Creek for our wedding! Everything was even more perfect than I had hoped.

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!

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!”

My husband and I are from Florida and we were looking for a venue in Tennessee. We landed on RC and couldn't have been happier with our choice. Jenny, Halea, Emma, and all of the staff we met with and worked with were fantastic! They all answered my many emails and questions quickly and were so sweet to correspond with via email and phone. Being from out of state we chose RC for all of the on site vendors. This was huge for us so that we didn't have to juggle a million different vendors. The hair & make up team and the photographers we chose were all familiar with RC and the wonderful staff. Everyone worked so nicely together. Our day went absolutely perfectly. Anyone looking to have a barn wedding and/or reception, don't bother looking anywhere else (or do... but you'll come back to RC like I did!) You won't 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. I 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 I was getting most of my 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 I 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!

Ramble Creek made all of my wedding dreams come true! Being a covid bride is hard enough, but moving states, starting a new job, and being separated from friends and family made wedding planning incredibly difficult. My family/friends didn’t help plan anything, in fact they would ignore me if I tried to bounce ideas off of them! BUT Ramble Creek and all of their amazing staff swooped in and saved my wedding planning experience. I was able to be truly excited and stress free all thanks to their all-inclusive vibes, their super organized staff, and of course how SWEET and THOUGHTFUL Jenny is. I can’t say enough how amazing Ramble Creek is. Whether you’re a fellow stressed bride freaking out on how to plan because you never imagined a wedding, OR if you’re a bride who knows exactly what she wants, Ramble Creek can make any dreams come true.

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.

Beyond Perfect! I am so thankful we started our Forever at this incredible, beautiful venue! From the initial phone call talking about what all the venue included, I was overwhelmingly excited that I had options! When I say options I mean that have almost anything and everything you would want or need provided in house. With so many venues I struggled thinking and worrying about all that I would have to provide or rent in order to have all that I wanted. Ramble Creek and their staff can provide so much for your big day! Selections Day was so fun and allowed for me to narrow down all the final options. The staff was very friendly and helpful with all the details. The land has so many picture perfect spots and multiple different ceremony areas. The inside of the venue is breathtaking with a high cathedral ceiling and beautiful natural wood. The bridal and groomsmen suites were the perfect areas on site to prepare for the day. Jenny and Buck, along with their team have thought through and in detail about all the littles things you would want, love and cherish on your big day! This is a one of a kind venue and don't regret passing it up!

Words can’t explain how beautiful of a venue Ramble Creek is! Everything about this place is perfect. What I loved most aside from the property, was that Ramble Creek offers everything in house. This luxury makes the wedding planning process much easier & takes a lot of stress off of the bride & groom. Everyone there is so helpful & truly tries to make your wedding day perfect! I love Ramble Creek & can’t thank them all enough for everything they did to make our day so special :)

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!

I cannot say thank you enough to everyone at Ramble Creek! Everything was FLAWLESS. My husband and I can’t stop gushing about how everything was perfect and just how we imagined our day would be. The venue it self is beautiful, but the staff is one of a kind. Audrey, our day of coordinator, was amazing to work with before and the day of the wedding. Halea, Jenny and Buck were also so great to work with before our day. Ramble Creek really makes the wedding planning process as stress free as possible. Everything they do is top of the line. If you are thinking about booking them for your wedding, DO IT!

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.

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!

Hi fellow Brides! I got married at Ramble Creek a few weeks ago. Here is a very detailed description of my experience -
Overall Experience:
Although pricey, the venue is beautiful and the Ramble Creek staff ROCK IT the day of your wedding. Initially, I was irritated with the pricing and felt as though I was being “nickel and dimed” for everything. It took me until the day of my wedding to realize WHY. I had a 13 page document for how I wanted my wedding executed. I guess you could say I was a very “hands on/controlling” bride with high expectations :) The day of my wedding, the RC staff (which feels more like a small ARMY), executed my plan flawlessly. No detail was spared, and they really understand and care about how important the details are. So, although things feel expensive in the beginning, to me, it was 100% worth it in the end.
STAFF:
OWNERS: Buck and Jenny are genuine, caring people. This isn’t “just a business” for them. They really want you to have the best day ever.
COORDINATOR: I would trust Audrey with my life. She was vital to my sanity both leading up to and the day of the wedding. She listened to me and made time for me whenever I needed it. She glued over 50 candlesticks together for me on wedding day. She never made me feel like I was an annoying bridezilla (and I WAS). It’s like having the most organized person, with a yoga instructor’s voice, guiding you through the day while simultaneously orchestrating your big event. I would absolutely recommend booking her through Ramble Creek as your day-of coordinator.
DIRECTOR: I didn’t see Megan until the day of, and didn’t really understand what a day-of director was, but she was everywhere. She fixed my broken seating chart, helped us use the steamer, checked on us at the perfect times to make sure we were ok, set up the bridal suite so perfectly with our things before we arrived, lots of little things that made a big difference. Her and Audrey tag-teamed the event like a well-oiled machine.
OTHERS: It felt like there were 20 people working for Ramble Creek that day. Many of them were communicating over head sets with each other. It was unreal. They are like the Special Forces of weddings or something. All of them smiled at me, they seemed happy to be there, they were constantly anticipating my needs and giving me whatever I wanted/needed. I was so thankful to have this team behind me on such an important day.
PRICING: As I mentioned, this venue is pricey. To rent the venue it is about 7K and then you have to tack on a lot of per person costs. It will get pricey, but again, in my experience, it was WORTH every penny. I am glad they do not cut corners.
FOOD: We had butter chicken, green beans, and macaroni. People are still talking about the food. It was the best chicken and macaroni I have ever had. I expected the chicken to be dry and just mediocre…it was not. It was amazing. We did buffet style and because of the way they execute the food distribution it did not feel like a buffet at all.
VENUE: Pictures taken at this venue/our wedding are currently being used as many of our guest’s social media profile pics. Girls, you get this. Totally insta-worthy. The venue and the grounds are BEAUTIFUL. Our guests walked the grounds during cocktail hour – sat by the fire place, admired the vineyard and the landscaping. There is lots of greenery and a big open sky. It was perfect.
Book them!

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!

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.

It has been just 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 day...for the rest of my life. It was an unquestionably perfect day!
We first began this journey in Sept ‘18, and from point of commitment through the reception, I've never experienced a higher level of customer satisfaction than what was consistently rendered by these professionals.
From the moment we pulled through the gate, we were awed by the sheer splendor of this XX-acre plot of land that was seemingly drawn into the countryside by a world-renowned artist. We were then given a walking tour of the grounds that validated to me that we had wasted a good bulk of our day visiting other venues that were neither comparable in terms of beauty nor ambience, as the sense of genuine tranquility we perceived informed us that our search was over.
Even if there were a sliver of doubt, it was quickly dismissed in meeting with the co-owner (Jenny Yates), whose confident approach to answering our 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.
- the owners (Buck & Jenny Yates) kept us informed of every detail throughout; accommodated all changes; and were open to receive/offer suggestions that ultimately improved what would be a lifelong memory
- coordination of vendors was effortless
- setup of the entire grounds was pristine and befitting a princess
- food (appetizers, main course and dessert offerings) was delicious and more than proportionate
- timing of reception events flowed seamlessly
- transition between reception and party was transparent to all
- DJ kept spinning tunes that kept the floor hopping (reference shows my age) and his personality was "on fleek" throughout the night (more modern reference ;-)
- Wedding Director (Jessica) as well as the driver of the shuttle were equally invested in ensuring that everyone in attendance had the time of their lives
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 smart decision to contract for the services of a wedding coordinator, and on the day of the blessed event our coordinator took the reins, eliminating any potential missteps and guided 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 is outstanding!
Again, there are many words that come to mind (Amazing/Exemplary/Wonderful) and one may 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 & 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 a little girl, and from the bottom of our hearts we just want to say, "Thank you!"

Oh my goodness, Ramble Creek and their staff is AMAZING!! From our initial meetings with the owners, Buck and Jenny, to the countless tours I asked for so our family could see it before our wedding, to the tons of emails between Jenny & I… they were so patient, kind, and helpful. I could really tell they love what they are doing. They even sat down and did a rough estimate of the total cost of our wedding to make sure their venue was a great fit with our budget. The booking & payment was super easy and all online. We did a selections day meeting about 5 months before our wedding date where we got to taste food/cakes, look at table options, layout options, and decide on the flow of our day. We felt super confident leaving that meeting, knowing our wedding was in great hands. Over the next couple of months, I emailed with them changing things/asking thousands of questions and they were so quick in responding and making everything super clear. On our wedding day, we had Audrey as our coordinator and Veronika as our Director of RC Staff. Both of them were so AMAZING. Audrey was constantly checking on us in the gorgeous bridal suite, making sure we had everything we needed. I loved being able to look out the window, watching them put the reception space together. Together, Veronika and Audrey made sure everything ran close to time and was exactly what I imagined. The food and cake were absolutely delicious!!! All our guests loved them! I could go on and on about all the staff and everything they did for us. But they were so amazing, and not to mention the whole venue is absolutely gorgeous and worth every penny for the whole experience.

THIS VENUE IS HANDS DOWN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND SIMPLISTIC VENUE IN THE AREA. I cannot say enough great things about this venue and the people who run it. Jenny and Buck are a dynamic duo who genuinely care about their customers. So professional, courteous, and go over the top for the Bride and Groom. They made the stress of planning a wedding so much better and I utilized the day of coordinator, food, DJ, and shuttle through them. I loved having the option of making it all inclusive through them because it meant I didn’t have to search for other vendors. There was also options for florist and makeup as well. You could also include all your reception decor through them. For the bride who doesn’t have time to search through multiple vendors this was a great option. The food was incredible. Service excellent. My DOC made sure everyone in the wedding party was taken care of and I stressed about absolutely nothing on my wedding day. The only downside to the venue was being an hour outside Chattanooga, but it was completely worth it.

There are not enough words in the dictionary to explain how unbelievably AMAZING Ramble Creek is! The attention to detail is impeccable! The grounds and venue are drop dead gorgeous! My husband and I are from South Florida and we were looking for a bit of a destination wedding, I found Ramble Creek online and told him we had to go see it. As soon as Buck opened the doors I completely stopped mid sentence and lost my train of thought from how beautiful everything is! Jenny and Buck were so attentive! They made sure we ate at the wedding and were constantly checking on us, which was so wonderful! Megan was also so exceptional and helped make our day run so smoothly! Since they are basically an "all inclusive" venue doing everything from out of state was made so incredibly easy and it is something we appreciated so immensely! We were able to completely enjoy being in the moment at our own wedding knowing that everything was being taken care of!
Also would like to commend Chef Jacquie! She made our culinary dreams a reality! Since we got married on Cinco de Mayo, we wanted a taco station for the cocktail hour and they made it happen and it was DELICIOUS! Everything was so DELICIOUS! (Currently dreaming of Chef Jacquie's mac and cheese).
Eva made the most scrumptious cake, cupcakes and cookies! We are still talking about them!
Anne and Victoria did such an incredible job with our flowers! Everything was just so gorgeous!
Everyone came together as a team and the day and night was so incredible!

To say my wedding at Ramble Creek was a dream would be an understatement. We booked the venue with Jenny about a year before our wedding, and everything leading up to the day was phenomenal. The venue itself is breath-taking, the food is 5-star, and the service is just top-notch. We had a variety of appetizers (charcuterie board, shrimp and grits station, etc.), multiple entrees (filet mignon, scallops, chicken, numerous appetizers), as well as a catered bridal luncheon and grooms luncheon on the day of the wedding. Gosh, i'm still dreaming about the food and I think our guests are too! They won't stop talking about it :) As far as the day of, we had the venue to ourselves the Friday beforehand for a rehearsal, then on the actual Saturday of the wedding, we arrived around 9am to start getting ready. Everything that day was so smooth that I really don't see how it could've gone any better. We had a day-of coordinator, and she was an angel. Anything we needed, she was on top of it. Our initial plan was to have the ceremony outside, and the reception inside, but it POURED literally all day, so they set up the ceremony inside, and it was stunning. We had draperies and twinkling lights, and the sun was shining through the windows right at the moment we started the ceremony. Afterwards, we had guests on the patio for a cocktail hour (we had an open bar), and Ramble Creek handled the flip service of setting everything up for the reception. We had about 140 guests, with round tables, and the two long farmhouse tables for the wedding party. Everything except our band was handled by Ramble Creek as one of the services they offer, and they truly are the best of the best. We were supposed to also have a sparkler send-off at 10:30pm, but since it was raining, we had it earlier for picture's sake, and that also was very smooth, and stress-free. Jenny and Buck are amazing, and became more like friends (especially after our tequila shots together!) We are truly SO, so grateful to everyone at Ramble Creek for making this the best days of our lives.

I can’t say enough about the experience we had with Ramble Creek. A wedding is such an important and special time and every couple wants it to be perfect. Hunter and I feel like ours was everything we’ve ever dreamed of. The weather was perfect. The flowers were perfect. The food (on both days) was delicious and we heard from all of our guests how much they liked it. The donuts were amazing! The donut holes must’ve been delicious because I didn’t even get any but they were all gone so the guests must’ve loved them. The music created the perfect atmosphere. The best part about our wedding was that I felt no stress in the process. I wasn’t worried about anything going wrong because I felt like the team at Ramble Creek had everything covered. I would recommend this venue and team to anyone who asked. We loved it, our parents loved it, our families loved it, and our friends loved it. We have had so many people reach out and let us know how beautiful the venue was and how accommodating the staff was and how smoothly everything went. One of my bridesmaids even said, “When I get married, I want it to be just like yours. This day was perfect.”

When I started planning our wedding, I just knew It would be at Ramble. We toured the property with Buck and knew right then we were sold. I could not imagine our day being at any other venue. Our wedding day was as stress free as possible and that is all because of the staff at Ramble. They went above and beyond our expectations. All of our guests went on and on about how wonderful the entire day was. Jenny and Buck were such a blessing to work with and we are so grateful for them. They pay so much attention to every detail and are so kind. You will not regret taking a tour of this beautiful place. I am so glad I married my husband at Ramble Creek.

We loved everything about our day at Ramble Creek! Buck and Jenny and the team are all such wonderful people. They gifted us with beautiful mugs that are such a wonderful reminder of our special day. We so enjoyed our first look under the pretty gazebo. It was so special! Our officiant, Brian Ladd we thought performed such a beautiful ceremony. The food was delicious and everyone loved the cake! Every detail was just perfect and we couldn’t thank Ramble Creek enough for making our day the best it could have been. The whole day is kind of a big, happy blur now haha and we can’t wait to get our pictures back to reminisce some more!

Ramble Creek is a true fairytale come true! From the moment you contact them to set up a tour they treat you like family. Jenny, Buck, and the whole team were filled with so much support to help make our wedding truly blissful and stress free. Getting ready the morning of our wedding we relaxed enjoyed lunch, had lots of laughs and we can thank the amazing Ramble Creek team for that. I knew I could trust them to take care of all the details the day of the wedding so I could simply enjoy being a bride. Our guests were treated like family. They went above and beyond to make sure the kids in attendance were happy and helped the parents with anything they might have needed. Shaun and I wouldn’t have dreamed to have shared the start of our new chapter anywhere else. It brings happy tears to my eyes to say I will always be beyond grateful for how we were treated and how they not only pulled together the wedding of my dreams, but they were always there to answer any questions and give me full support from start to finish. If you want a drop dead gorgeous, and stress free wedding day, choose Ramble Creek. Jenny, Buck and the whole team will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

I got engaged in February and upon looking for venues close to Cleveland/Chattanooga, I was more than lucky to find Ramble Creek. We went to visit Ramble Creek on March 4, 2018 and it was beyond what the pictures show. I was absolutely in love with this venue! Fast forward 36 weeks to my wedding day, November 17, 2018, and I can truly say I am still in love with my venue. Buck and Jenny answered every question that I had, which was over a million it seems, in preparation for our big day! Everything was absolutely flawless and I enjoyed every single second of that day and all of the days that lead up to it in preparation! The cake was delicious and our cupcakes were more than expected! All guests were raving over the presentation as well as the taste of everything! The bridal suite was filled with laughter and tears all day while my weekend director, Megan, made sure everything went as smooth as possible for that day! I even sprung a DJ on her the day before! The guys enjoyed poker and darts in the groomsmen quarters and that was a huge hit! Everything about that day and the days leading up to it were something I will always remember. I will always recommend others to my venue because it was truly the most perfect place for our special day! All the stars for Ramble Creek Vineyard and Events!

Working with Ramble Creek Vineyards was a dream. When we booked them they were still just starting up and only proved to get better and better with time. The venue and grounds surrounding it is a work of art and really just created a whole experience that guests couldn’t stop complimenting. When I say they have thought of everything, I mean EVERYTHING! We came for our final selects day and I mentioned I still needed to find transportation and a babysitter for guests and they already had recommendations ready to book. You tell them your dreams and they will make it a reality. I always wanted a father daughter breakfast the morning of the ceremony and they worked with me to create this one of a kind experience. Their amazing Chef Jacquie customized the breakfast with all our favorites and Megan (Event Director) did a FLAWLESS job making sure the rain only enhanced our experience and didn’t take away from anything. Which brings me to the point that they hire top notch staff when it comes to your events. Their baker Eva can make anything your heart desires. Our love for Disney involved a request for a Pineapple Dolewhip cupcake and she made it a reality. We requested a lot of flavors and I can tell you she doesn’t make a bad one! I worked closely with one of their event directors, Marie, and I cannot say enough how much she put my mind at ease. Down the the detail of making sure there was orange juice onsite in case of a low blood sugar for my many type-one diabetic guests. She really made sure that come the day of, I had nothing to stress about. Jenny and Buck have really done wonders creating a venue and making sure it is filled with options that exceeds any brides wildest expectations. This place puts its own pictures to shame and never stopped amazing me each time I saw it. To say my day was perfect would be an understatement. Everyone told me to prepare for something to go wrong on our wedding day, but it was a flawless day from start to finish. I could go on and on, but you’ll have to see the perfection for yourself!

We recently had our wedding at Ramble Creek and it was absolutely beautiful! From the moment I saw their venue on the knot website, I knew it was the perfect place for us. They set up a date to tour it very quickly and we got the ball rolling fast! They've thought of many things to assist with the day of, they have nice chairs for hair and makeup in the most beautiful bridal suite, a steamer, a nursery for guests with kids, a groomsmen area with a poker table and a tv, it just blew my mind to see how many nice touches they put into everything. They were accommodating and sweet and on the day of I really feel like we had a nice and easy day full of love and excitement which is exactly how it should be! The food was great, cake and cupcakes were perfect, staff is friendly, I love that we got married here!

I ONLY have the best words to say about this venue.
Jenny and Buck were absolutely terrific to work with from the initial email I sent to book a tour to the day of our wedding. They are both so incredibly kind and just wonderful people to be around, as well as their staff.
Jenny and Buck answered my million questions in such a timely manner and made sure every detail was covered. They worked with me and were understanding in every way possible.
They thought of EVERYTHING when they created this beautiful venue. The property is so beautiful and offers so many places for your ceremony to take place. The barn has the a reception hall is to die for, the most beautiful bridal suite, and a place for the groom and their groomsmen to hang out and play.
Their staff was tremendous and made sure everything was covered so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The food, drinks, cake, cupcakes, and smores bar were all amazing and all our friends and family agreed. They told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and we know Jenny, Buck, and their staff played a huge part in that.
We feel so beyond blessed to have had our wedding at such a beautiful venue with such amazing people a part of our big day and are so thankful for everything you did to make our day perfect. Ramble Creek deserves way more than 5 stars.

Ramble Creek is absolutely the best. We fell in love with the venue, as soon as we walked in the door. The process went smoothly and the entire staff was professional, courteous, and extremely helpful. Stephanie was unbelievably vital. The appetizers, food, and desserts were delicious.
Would give 10 stars if I could.
No cons at all to choosing Ramble Creek.
Buck and Jenny thanks for your vision, beautiful barn, and all the professionalism you provide.

Simply amazing. From our first visit through the days following our wedding, the entire staff was wonderful. We had to switch our ceremony to inside the day before due to weather and our switch was seamless. When the rain stopped during the reception, our guests explored the full venue and had nothing but compliments. To top it all off, I'm still dreaming about our food.

Our wedding here turned out better than I could have ever imagined. We planned the majority of everything from Colorado and Jenny and Buck were so helpful. We loved having the venue, food, cake and officiant all through one place, it made planning from afar that much easier. The day of the wedding went exactly as planned and Marie was so helpful with getting everything transitioned even though we were running ahead of schedule. We were so happy with how everything turned out and got many compliments from guests on how gorgeous the venue was. I cannot thank Jenny and Buck enough for all they did for us and how beautiful it turned out.
