Weddings at Rooster Run

Say Your Vows
Under Open Sky

A rustic, outdoor wedding venue on Buffalo Creek. Intimate, natural, and priced well below what other East Tennessee venues charge.

Rustic & Outdoor

No Banquet Hall. No Ballroom.
Just the Real Thing.

Rooster Run is for couples who want their wedding to feel like theirs—not a copy of someone else’s in a generic event space. The creek, the trees, the open sky, the sound of water running over rocks. That’s your backdrop, and it doesn’t cost extra.

Exchange vows along the bank of Buffalo Creek. Host your reception under the covered pavilion. End the night around the campfire with the people who matter most. No stuffy formality, no filler—just a beautiful day in a beautiful place.

And because we’re a private, owner-operated property in Grainger County—not a resort complex in the Smokies—you get all of this for a fraction of what most venues charge.

Affordable Weddings

A Beautiful Wedding Shouldn’t Break the Bank

Most rustic wedding venues in East Tennessee charge $3,000–$8,000 or more just for the venue rental. At Rooster Run, you get a one-of-a-kind creekside setting at a price that lets you spend your budget where it matters—on the people and the celebration, not the room.

Below-Market Pricing

We keep our rates well below what the big venues and barn-wedding complexes charge. Call us for a quote—you’ll be surprised.

Bring Your Own Everything

No forced vendor lists, no catering upcharges. Bring your own food, drinks, DJ, photographer, and decorations. Your wedding, your way.

A Setting Money Can’t Fake

A real creek, real woods, real fireflies in summer. No fake barn doors, no string lights trying to create an “atmosphere.” This is the real deal.

What’s Included

Your Wedding at Rooster Run

Everything you need for a beautiful outdoor ceremony and celebration.

Creekside Ceremony Area

Exchange vows along Buffalo Creek with the sound of water as your backdrop. Natural beauty that photographs beautifully without expensive decorating.

30×40 Covered Pavilion

A spacious 30×40 covered pavilion to host your reception, dinner, and dancing—rain or shine. An attached 12×20 stage with roof is ready for your DJ or live band.

Campfire After-Party

When the formal celebration winds down, gather around the fire pit with log seating. Some of the best moments happen under the stars.

Overnight Cabin for the Couple

The cozy on-site sleeper cabin is available for the couple to stay the night after the celebration. Queen bed, TV, mini-fridge, and the creek right outside the window.

Unisex Restroom

A clean, accessible on-site unisex restroom for your guests. No porta-potties.

On-Site Field Parking

Drive right onto the property and park on the grass. Your guests won’t be hiking from a distant lot or parking on the road.

Picture Your Day

How It All Comes Together

Morning

Arrive & Settle In

Get to the property early and take your time. The on-site restroom under the pavilion has a sink, mirror, and cabinets—plenty of room to freshen up. Grab coffee, take a walk along the creek, and soak it in before the big moment.

Afternoon

Ceremony by the Creek

Guests gather along Buffalo Creek for the ceremony. Trees overhead, water at your feet, open sky above. No microphone needed—it’s that intimate.

Evening

Reception Under the Pavilion

Dinner, toasts, and dancing under the covered pavilion. String your own lights, bring your own caterer and DJ. Make it yours.

Night

Campfire Under the Stars

The best part of the night. Gather around the fire, tell stories, and let the day sink in. Fireflies in summer. Stars year-round.

Common Questions

How many guests can you accommodate?

We can accommodate up to 100 people. The 30×40 covered pavilion gives you plenty of room for tables, a dance floor, and your guests. Call us to discuss your plans.

Can we bring our own caterer and DJ?

Absolutely. There are no required vendor lists. Bring whoever you want for food, music, photography, flowers—everything.

What about bad weather?

The covered pavilion keeps your reception dry no matter what. For ceremonies, many couples set up under or near the pavilion as a rain backup.

Yes, you’re welcome to have alcohol at your event. This is a private venue and you’re in control of your celebration.

How far is it from Knoxville?

About 45 minutes northeast of Knoxville. Close enough for guests to get here easily, far enough to feel like a getaway.
