People say your wedding day is the best day of your life, and I always scoffed at the idea. But guess what? It was. Every single moment my husband and I had at the Trillium was abs...olutely magical, and some I would even call supernatural. The week leading up to our wedding was riddled with thunderstorms, and an absolute monsoon tore through the night before. When I arrived to the venue with my bridal squad, Emily was there to greet us with a bottle of champagne and an update on the weather and expectations for the day. We had a four o’clock ceremony in June, and while the sun was beaming down hard during our vows, an afternoon thunderstorm rolled in after happy hour, giving us time to cool down for dinner. Rainbows took over the sky all evening, and the mist over the Smokies was mesmerizing. Throughout all the crazy weather during the day, the staff was so calm, knew exactly what to do and when to do it, and kept the vibe so upbeat.
When people asked me what I was looking forward to most about the wedding, my answer was always, for everyone to arrive and see the Trillium for the first time. My husband and I booked the venue having never physically been there, and I will never forget rolling up to our first Open House in absolute awe at what was in store. I loved that every single one of our guests had the same jaw-dropping experience. The Trillium team made everything so easy, from providing a curated list of recommended vendors to responding on a dime to every question. I never pictured myself as having a big wedding, but now I look back on our wedding day, and every single time I get choked up with the happiest of tears and memories. There’s not a thing I would have done differently.
