Museum of Appalachia
2819 Andersonville Hwy, Clinton, TN 37716, USA- Spaces for 40-300 Guests
- 1 Barn
- 2 Event Spaces
- 1 Historic Space
The Museum of Appalachia sits on 60 pastoral acres in Clinton, Tennessee, where founder John Rice Irwin spent half a century gathering the everyday tools, tools, and stories of Southern Appalachia into a living pioneer village. Some three dozen historic log structures, including cabins, barns, churches, and schools, stand alongside gardens and free-range farm animals behind split-rail fences, and three exhibit buildings house over 250,000 folk-art, musical, and textile artifacts. The Museum became a Smithsonian Affiliate in 2007. That rolling, historic backdrop makes the grounds a distinctive setting for weddings and private events. Couples can choose from several outdoor ceremony and reception sites, among them the Grist Mill Field, the Cantilever Barn Field, and the Hall of Fame Lawn, or move indoors to a barn-style reception hall with a full-prep kitchen and antique serving bars. For smaller, more intimate ceremonies, the Museum's 19th century log chapel offers an authentic alternative to its larger outdoor fields. The venue also hosts corporate meetings, trade shows, and group outings against the same rustic backdrop.
Chattanooga Zoo

The Chattanooga Zoo is an AZA-accredited nonprofit zoo in Chattanooga, Tennessee, offering a fun and unique setting for corporate events, family days, weddings, and other celebrations. Alongside its animal exhibits, the zoo runs active wildlife rehabilitation and conservation programs and provides educational programming to thousands of children each year through field trips, camps, and outreach. For private events, the zoo offers a "Rent the Zoo" option that gives hosts access to the animals, a jungle-theme atmosphere, and a hands-on learning presentation delivered by zoo staff, so a host's role is largely limited to inviting guests and enjoying the party. The zoo also hosts birthday parties in its jungle-themed Zoo Birthday Party Room, located in the Education Center, with packages that include zoo admission, table and chair setup, and optional add-ons like giraffe feedings and carousel rides. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Chattanooga Zoo is supported by donations, memberships, and volunteers, and has earned recognition as a four-star charity from Charity Navigator and Gold Transparency certification from Candid.

Ceremonies are held at a tin-roofed outdoor gazebo set in front of the pond, with guests seated in a shallow arc so all can see the vows exchanged. Receptions move to the open-air entertainment pavilion, a diamond-lit space that seats up to 150 guests, with the option to expand further with an event tent for larger celebrations. The historic cantilever barn doubles as a private, air-conditioned dressing suite for the bridal party before the ceremony.
