Creekside Ridge Wooden Arbor

An outdoor ceremony site for 50 guests

Our Creekside Ridge ceremony site is located on the main grounds only a minute and a half’s trek from the barn’s exit. It’s basically in the middle of our landscaped five-acres. Imagine gliding across a beautiful bridge while the sounds of the creek and a little pond waterfall soothe you. Your guests will never forget your walk down the aisle! The unique architecture of this arbor lends itself to western style and woodland themed weddings alike.

Permanent log benches seat up to 50 guests here, making it the perfect place for a wedding with family and friends in the Smokies. There’s plenty of room for everyone to spread out comfortably. The long bridge leading to this site is a favorite location for photographers to capture a large family group photo.

A Ling’s Moment garland with white and green flowers is in the top center of the wooden arbor in spring through fall, or a pine bough garland in the winter months.

This ceremony site is most popular in early April through mid-May. Dogwoods bloom first somewhere between April 1st and the 20th. The large, purple rhododendron bushes bloom next for a few weeks in early May. Lilies bloom in June, followed by pink wind flowers in August and September. There are always pots of annual flowers in the center of the arbor from spring to fall. White goosenecks bloom near the willow tree bridge in June, followed by native asters in September.

The ridge immediately behind the arbor turns golden in color in the fall. While challenging to predict, the best chance for peak fall color is the third and fourth week of October, and sometimes even the first week or two in November. We locals call it the “leaf lottery” because of the unpredictable weather and temperature variations prior to the color change.

Honeysuckle Tradition

I’m Regina, and I look forward to helping you plan your special day!  Couples just like you have helped me carry on a legacy of love for the past 20 years.  At one time my venue was a working farm where my Daddy raised cattle and tobacco.  As much as I enjoyed growing up here, I sure do enjoy weddings more than farming!

My venue’s down-to-earth love for the simple things in life attracts outdoor lovers, travelers, adventurers, hunters, fishers, hikers, all skin colors, faiths, LGBTQ, and free spirited souls with an abundance of respect for diversity.  

I can’t wait to celebrate your unique love story!
