Rocky Top Falls provided us with an unforgettable experience for our special day! The stunning views from the venue were absolutely breathtaking, adding a perfect touch to our wedd...ing. The hosts, Rachel and Miguel, were not only friendly, but they were also very accommodating, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Communication with them was a breeze, making the planning process much easier for us. The venue itself was fully equipped, which helped alleviate any last-minute stress or concerns we might have had. The table was able to accommodate all of our guests and there were plenty of bedrooms for everyone to rest comfortably.
We appreciated the attention to detail from Rocky Top Falls, as they made sure every aspect of our wedding was taken care of. The only minor issue I would encourage wedding prospects to be wary of is that on a summer weekend there is the potential of boaters on the lake who are enjoying their music at a loud volume to be present nearby. This did happen during our small ceremony, however I found the pop music echoing across the water helped calm my nerves and put a sense of playfulness in the crowd, although some of our guests were slightly uncomfortable with the lyrics. These neutral aspects did not detract from the overall joy and beauty of our celebration, and this is something that is beyond the control of the hosts and is not a fault of the property. It is simply a small moment of give and take, as all walks of life enjoy the beauty of the lake.
To briefly recap our story, we had discussed in December of 2023 that we wished to elope in 2024. As we spoke to our parents about this after our April 2024 engagement, they expressed their desire to be present for the ceremony. As a result, we opted to honor their wishes while still keeping the guests limited to immediate family to maintain the private, intimate wedding we’d hoped for. I began the search for an AirBnB that could accommodate our families and also had a pleasant view for a wedding on the property. It was almost instantly that Rocky Top Falls appeared as a search result. It not only checked all of our boxes but also has a designated area FOR weddings! I messaged the hosts (Rachel and Miguel) immediately and told them about our vision and dream wedding. They replied quickly and were able to point us in the right direction every step of the way. From suggesting photographers and hair/makeup artists to putting us in touch with our officiant, Rachel’s father. We came to the property in May 2024 and took a tour of the venue and trails. We returned in August 2024 for our 2 nights stay and wedding. It was everything we could have asked for!
Overall, we highly recommend Rocky Top Falls for anyone looking for a picturesque and well-equipped venue with friendly and accommodating hosts. Our wedding day was made even more special by the beautiful surroundings and the support of the team at Rocky Top Falls. We were able to check-in with ease and were greeted with an adorable set of matching Rocky Top Falls coffee mugs and a handmade candle from WhatTheWix.
