Had a great time at Riverbend Ranch September 2024. Attended a wedding with scenic views of lake and rolling hills. Plenty of space for large events. Property had overnight accommodations for wedding party and guests. Private bungalows! Plus nighttime fireworks show topped off the night. Definitely going back next time we’re in Tennessee!

We stayed on the property for a friends wedding and this venue was a dream! Not to mention the house was literally feet from the wedding ceremony, which was so ideal because we had our kids with us. Absolutely stunning lake view, the creek was so relaxing for playing in and the wedding venue was unreal. The owners are so accommodating too. My daughter still asks if we can go back to the ranch.

I attended a wedding at Riverbend Ranch and had such a great time! I was completely blown away by how beautiful the property was, and really enjoyed how the wedding was setup and how clean and modern the facilities were!

What an amazing hidden gem of a wedding venue! Darren was SO easy to work with and coordinating all rentals/setup/day-of was a breeze thanks to him working so seamlessly with my wedding coordinator. Riverside revival feel for our outdoor wedding in October with stunning weather to boot – I can’t say enough good things about our experiences with Riverbend Ranch. Having rental houses available on property for our bridal party helped make things SO much easier on everyone as well. Excited to see this venue grow in popularity & thrive for years to come!

Writing this review ahead of the wedding on Saturday I will be there for, but let me tell you it’s worth it! This venue has been nothing but accommodating! As a fellow wedding vendor, I have never worked with such an amazing venue before! They have been so diligent and helpful for my couple who had to cancel their other venue within a month of their wedding date, and it has put both the couple and myself at ease by knowing they are in good hands with their venue. Every request this past month has been met with flexibility and willingness to help, and it makes me so proud to get to work in an industry with people like Darren who truly care about their clients! On top of all of that, I am completely blown away by how beautiful the property is! It boasts gorgeous views with even better buildings, houses, and furnishings. I can’t say enough! Don’t hesitate to book with Riverbend, you will not regret your decision!
