I couldn’t have dreamed of a better day. Whitestone took care of EVERYTHING. Every step of the way they were nothing less than top notch while also making us feel like family. The took care of the rehearsal dinner, accommodations for all out of town guests, ceremony, reception, and even made sure I had plenty of my favorite drink on hand- Dr. Pepper. :)
The food is seriously the best I’ve ever had. I’ll be remembering it for years to come. I’m most thankful that my husband and I have a place to visit and escape to for years to come. When my mind wanders, it wanders to Whitestone. The picturesque views, delicious food, peaceful and serene atmosphere is just the ticket.
Every staff member went above and beyond noticing the little details and taking care of every little thing.
Everyone has a different vision for their wedding day, but Whitestone has so many ceremony and reception spaces that you can make just about make anything possible.
If you want show-stopping photos, there’s certainly no shortage of photo opportunities to remember your perfect day for a lifetime to come.
Sure, getting married somewhere beautiful is important but what mattered most to me was knowing things would be done right, with care, and by kind, loving people- and that’s exactly what I got.

We absolutely loved Whitestone. The venue is stunning, the food was amazing, and the communication was above and beyond. I had a million and one questions, and Sierra and Brianne helped me with every single one. The more questions they answered, the more and more I couldn’t wait to get married here. The views are truly breathtaking, and the staff is notably wonderful. I do my best to go out of my way to recommend Whitestone to other couples whenever I get the chance.

We are so happy we chose to get married at Whitestone! There’s truly no place that’s more beautiful for your wedding: with so many locations on property and so many different ways you can decorate (or you can not decorate at all and it still looks great!), you can make this place look just as you’ve always dreamed! The food is so amazing (think five star restaurant instead of typical tolerable wedding food), and you will want to go back again and again after the super romantic free tasting and your rehearsal dinner. And I’ve saved the best for last: Brianne and the wedding planning team were irreplaceable help for me. Don’t try to plan your wedding by yourself: book Whitestone and let Brianne take care of the rest! We got so many comments from guests that the day went so smoothly and that everything was perfect. That’s all thanks to Brianne!
Choose a venue that’s more than a venue: it’s a romantic bed and breakfast you can return to for every anniversary, it’s a gourmet restaurant, and it’s an experience!

Whitestone is breathtaking. The wedding planner Ali was phenomenal. The planning process was so easy and Ali was patient with us. Our wedding day was about as perfect as a wedding day could go and we owe it all to Ali and Bri. They both always had an answer and solution to everything. Our entire family loved the inn, the wedding, Ali and Bri! Minister Tim performed a great ceremony. In addition, Minister Tim and his kitchen staff received raving reviews from all of our guest. The staff at Whitestone across the board is world class and the food is absolutely delicious! We truly can't thank Whitestone and every single employee enough for such an amazing day and weekend!!

Whitestone is breathtaking, pictures can’t do it justice. We also had Tim as the officiant and he was amazing! We are not from TN and we didn’t know him but he made it so personal and beautiful. My wedding was a fairytale here. Also if you are from out of town, trust their recommendations for hair, photos etc. everything was perfect!

We had are wedding here and we were planning on getting married outside at the gazebo but it ended up raining so we had to move it inside the chapel which was beautiful. It so nice to get married at a venue that has options in case it rains. The wedding planners there are amazing and make sure that your ceremony and reception flows smoothly!!

My husband & I were married at Whitestone Country Inn on October 27, 2012. We cannot say enough good things about this venue or their staff. Even our wedding guests raved & raved. Our coordinator (Deneise) was AMAZING! She tracked every detail of our wedding (even the components not handled by Whitestone), was so helpful & reassuring during our pre-wedding meetings, and made sure that our day went flawlessly. Her attention & eye for detail are unmatched! The Inn is a bit off the beaten path, but totally worth it when you get there. The chapel & reception hall were perfect, the rooms were beautiful & spacious and the food was excellent. The only thing we would've changed was the weather so that we could've enjoyed our cocktail hour at the gazebo, overlooking the lake (because the property is breath-taking on a beautiful day), but that was out of Whitestone's control. Everything they were in charge of was perfection! A couple of tips we'd pass along to future brides & grooms is to do like we did & have your wedding party & stay on the property the night of rehearsal & wedding night. It makes it so much easier to have all of the key players already on the property and not have to worry about them traveling to & from hotels, which are all 25-30 minutes away along winding, country roads. It's worth the extra expense for the peace of mind & sanity. Plus it gives you extra time with your closest friends. We also recommend using Whitestone’s “set-up service” for decorating the chapel & reception hall. They did an excellent job…it was like they pulled the vision of how we wanted everything to look straight out of my head!
A big THANK YOU to Whitestone & Deneise for making our wedding the event of our dreams! We can’t wait to return for anniversaries!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at this gorgeous bed and breakfast. The venue is breathtaking with plenty of things to do and relax. The site is right off the lake and has a very romantic atmosphere. Those helping with the wedding, our wedding planner from Whitestone, went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. We could not have asked for a better day. We could not have chosen a better place to start our lives together, and we are excited that to spend our anniversaries there!

I absolutely loved every aspect of this venue. It's about 20 minutes into the boonies of Kingston, TN. But the drive is gorgeous to get there and then the venue itself is breathtaking. They have a large piece of land and the set up is everything a bride could ever want and more. There are several areas where outdoor weddings can occur and then the most gorgeous white chapel I've seen. I just got married there on July 23, 2012. When you book the outdoor venue, you also get the chapel reserved in case of rain. This was most convenient since it decided to downpour on the day of the wedding. I had never wanted to be married inside a church or even anywhere indoors because I thought it always looked tacky at other people's weddings. However, I even loved this chapel and everyone (friends that are not afraid to speak the truth) said it was the most gorgeous indoor wedding they had ever seen/been to. You also get the benefit of a wedding planner (Deneise).She was such a blessing and took so much stress off of me and my family during the wedding planning process and the wedding day itself. Everyone kept saying I should prepare myself for how stressful it was going to get and the chaos .... I kept waiting for that moment, but it never showed up. Every part of me urges you to check out this venue. They also have vendors (DJ, florist, bakery - for the cake, etc.) that they recommend, but you can choose your own. For the rehearsal lunch/dinner there and the reception though, you are required to use their cooking staff. However, the menu options are adjustable and you can pick and choose what you want. Most amazing cake and food I've ever had at a wedding ... and I promise I'm not saying that simply because it was my wedding. I would be honest if it wasn't great. It was terrific. Every part of it was unforgettable and relaxing. Check it out! whitestoneinn.com

From the minute we stepped out of the car to check out Whitestone, we knew we wanted to have our wedding there. It was breath taking. Once we started looking at the packages and costs, we could tell there was a clear value. We had already looked at other places and at first glance they would seem more affordable, but then you had to add in all the extras. With Whitestone, everything you needed and some things you just wanted were already in the package. It really cut down on the need for much of anything else as far as location went, except for decorations and they even have a florist there.
They do require that all catering be done by Whitestone, but the food is amazing. We even asked for specialty food items that they didn't normally offer and after we gave them the recipe, they made it for the reception!
Tonja was a dream as the coordinator. She took care of things before I even had time to think about them. She kept things as worry free as any bride could hope for before, during and after our wedding day.
Bottom line, Whitestone was an amazing place to have our dream wedding and I wouldn't change a thing!

The Whitestone Country Inn was the perfect place for our "country chic" wedding. The setting is absolutely beautiful! You will think that you are lost on the way there, but when you get there it is well worth it. Deneise, the wedding coordinator there, is amazing. She is quick to respond to emails, and she is very efficient. It is a bit pricey, but it is well worth the relief of not having to rent your own tables, chairs, and so forth. We are from the area, but the Whitestone would also be an ideal location for a destination wedding. In addition to the wedding facilities, the Whitestone is a bed and breakfast. All of your guests could stay there and enjoy a nice get away on the lake. I highly recommend the Whitestone Country Inn to any bride to be.

Anyone considering Whitestone Country Inn need not look any further. They went above and beyond what I wanted, giving us the most perfect wedding. It is a beautiful venue overlooking Watt Bar Lake. The place is gorgeous. Deneise Lane, our wedding co ordinator was UNBELIEVABLE. She looked after so many details and made certain that the day went off without a hitch. She accomodated all my bridal requests and then some. The staff at Whitestone made us and our guests feel like first class all the way. The food at Whitestone is incredible. We opted for the buffet for our wedding of 160 guests and people are still ranting about how amazing the food was. Really you can't go wrong. I was worried at first about their no liquor policy, they only allow beer, wine and champagne but it turned out to be no big deal. Our guests say it was the best wedding they have ever been too. Don't hesitate if you are considering this venue.
