About this vendor
Our Granary is situated on over 100 acres of scenic farmland at the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, our post and beam Granary offers warm elegance, with 4,000 square feet of indoor entertaining space to accommodate your guests. The 2,000-square-foot covered veranda overlooks our scenic lake with sweeping mountain views. In the evening guests can relax in Adirondack chairs by our hand forged kettle-style fire pit.
With two ceremony sites we are sure to capture your vision. Whether it be under the oak tree by the waters edge or with the mountings as your backdrop both are captivating.
We welcome outside catering companies, DJs, photographers, and all other vendors you may need, such as bakeries, bartenders, etc. Still, we are happy to offer recommendations if you need help finding the perfect vendor.
The team at The Lake at Willow Oaks arranges the tables and chairs for your coordinator and will be on-site throughout your event. We will guide your guests to where they park, take out the garbage, keep the bathrooms stocked and tidy, and answer any questions you may have throughout the evening.

Our family had a beautiful wedding last Sunday at The lake at Christenberry Farms. The venue was perfect. The barn was all a glow at night, it looked amazingl. We had the nuptials ...
down by the water with rolling hills in the background, perfect back drop. The owners of the property were so wonderful. They are very friendly, helpful and a great pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this venue, a perfect place for a perfect day! Thank you so much for all your hard work!

ruly out of a hallmark movie, an absolutely magical experience. Finding the perfect venue sets the tone for the entire event.
Our experience with the staff was truly remarkable. Each of them went above and beyond to make everything perfect and they became like family to us from beginning to end. We will forever be connected to this lovely venue because of our involvement in transforming the grain bin into the new grooms' quarters. This added an extra layer of connection and meaning to our memories there. We formed a special bond with this venue and staff.
Creating beautiful memories and forming new friendships is what weddings are all about. My daughter walked away from her wedding with beautiful memories, photographs, but we also walked away with friends that I never knew I needed.
The only choice for your wedding should be The Lake at Christenberry Farms.... Do not walk... Run to this venue.
I can’t say enough good things about The Lake at Christenberry Farms! Lissa and Allison were absolutely amazing. If I could give them 10 starts I would! We had less than 2 months t...
o plan an entire wedding from scratch and they jumped in and made it happen. They were so sweet and helpful. Everyone in our wedding party couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and how helpful and sweet Allison was.
This place has amazing views, decor, chargers, pretty much everything down to the flower girl basket. We needed zero rentals and they had great recommendations for the vendors we did need.
They made our day so special, and I’m so thankful to have found them. If you’re looking for a venue, this is the one.
The entire staff at the Lake at Christenberry Farms was amazing from the first day we stepped on property. They are fun, professional and make you feel like you’re part of the fami...

ial day to make sure it was perfect. The views are stunning and make for the most romantic and perfect pictures. We highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants the perfect venue for your future wedding.
Our daughter and S-I-L were married here on Sep. 24. 2022. It was an *awesome* day! We all so thoroughly loved our experience with Allison and Lissa and all the great vendors they ...
helped us select. From the mom’s point of view, it really was magical. And it wasn’t *just* the place which is absolutely beautiful, no words needed. Again, the personal touches by Alison and Lissa made the experience from start to finish absolutely delightful! Super special day for special people by special people! Our thanks go to the Christenberry’s!
We had a wonderful experience with this venue. The owner was extremely nice and went above and beyond to ensure that everything was just perfect. My daughter said it was everything...
she ever dreamed of. The setting is gorgeous and the venue held our 200 guests comfortably. We are so grateful to all the staff for working so hard to make our daughters wedding perfect!
I've waited a few days to post so that I could calm down. I was mother of the groom to the wedding this weekend. The venue was beautiful, our wedding coordinator was great but to...
find out that the Venue owner stated to another person so that my son could hear it, close to the end of the night "I can't wait for this fucking wedding to be over" is ridiculous! They took alcohol away from the groomsmen (all over the age of 21) and we did have 2 underage folks get beer (both were 18 and who hasn't tried to get beer at 18? - it was removed). At that point, they threatened to close down the bar (which we paid for). The venue owner showed up in shorts and tank top where she stood guard for the rest of the event and did not smile once! As the MOG and FOG, we were pulled several times in regards to the alcohol issues, which we tried to handle in order to allow my son and his new bride to enjoy their day and to find out the inappropriate comment was made to him was inexcusable.
I gave two stars due to the beauty of the venue and the customer service by the wedding coordinators.
If the wedding business is that miserable, get out of it. Don't RUIN the bride and groom's day!!!!!
Christenberry Farms was an answer to prayer for my husband and I in more ways than one. Their property had EVERYTHING we were looking for. The barn is absolutely breathtaking, and ...
we also used the outdoor ceremony site by the “lake.” The patio/fire pit were huge hits at our wedding too. The space allowed for so much creativity and offered multiple areas for guests to be entertained. More importantly, the owners/staff were incredible. Lisa and Allison Christenberry were SO helpful in assuring that we felt comfortable and had everything we needed. They wore many hats throughout our engagement, as they were always offering help with finding other vendors, providing decor, and helping us understand the ins-and-outs of weddings. They are truly professionals in the field - they had answers to every question. They also prioritized my comfort and peace of mind. When they noticed that wedding planning was overwhelming- they helped me get connected with an amazing coordinator, Elizabeth Cardwell, who put together our timeline and ran our behind-the-scenes on wedding day. Elizabeth was another answer to prayer; she was the glue that held our day together! I couldn’t say enough kind things about this place. I recommend them 10/10 every time!!
The best experience! From our first visit, to our wedding day, Lisa and Allison were absolutely phenomenal. They are a precious family, with a stunning venue! We got married in Oct...
ober, and chose to be married under the tree at the pond. From the set up, to the send off, they made sure everything was gorgeous and a breeze for us and our families. It was so hard to find what we wanted in a venue, for an affordable price- you NEED to look at The Lake at Christenberry Farms! Pond, fields, mountains, gorgeous barn, amazing people, seriously the perfect venue!! We have zero regrets, and I always tell everyone getting married to check it out.
This is genuinely the best venue with the sweetest people!! Highly recommend for your big day!
