Dara's Garden

Dara's Garden as well as Rothchild's catering has been beyond amazing! Everyone has helped us and genuinely care how our planning is going. All of the staff are ready and willing to help! They want to get to know you as a couple not just another client! Dara is amazing at what she does as well. She will help with absolutely any questions and recommends the best in the business. She also helped with contacts that would fit within our budget so we didn't have to hunt so long! The Rothchild's tasting event was very classy and well put together. They had a wide variety of items to taste along with demonstration rooms with different ideas for wedding decor. Every staff member made a point to say hello and be as helpful as possible! They are making my wedding planning EASY and better yet a lot of fun! They are the place to go for honest, reliable, and quality event planning for your event!

I had trouble getting a hold of them in the beginning and they did not always respond immediately or when they said they would. There was also a money discrepancy in the end. However, it was a beautiful event.

Dara's Garden is a beautiful venue for your wedding, and Dara is absolutely wonderful. She pays attention to details and makes the bride feel very special.

I worked more with her assistant Kate, who does not pay as much attention to the small details. Somehow, a part of my meal was left out, which I did not notice until after the fact. Also, my husband and I did not receive our cake topper as we were told we would, so we did not have that to enjoy later. Also, she had to run at the last minute to get my table runners, which had been determined months in advance. She also was not very present to help at the rehearsal or the day of, which left my wedding day of planner to do most of the work.

I am still happy I chose Dara's but there were some small aggravations with the details. Once again though, Dara is wonderful, kind, and cares very much about her brides. Kate does as well, but she seems a bit more frazzled at times.

The grounds were beautiful and the food was delicious...

We were thrilled with our venue choice for our wedding! Dara certainly made it a wonderful experience and helped exceed our expectations for our big day.

I had a most wonderful experience with Kate from Dara's Garden. She well exceeded all my expectation. My family and I were so thankful for all the attention and friendliness of all the staff there. Kate and Dara were a dream to work with. I would whole heartily recommend Dara's Garden.

We worked with Kate during the whole planning process. She helped go over every detail and idea that we could have to create our special day. On our wedding day they suprised us with matching table runners and little finishing touches that I loved and would have done without, due to budgeting. That meant a lot to me. I absolutely recommend this venue!

Even though it rained up till 2 hrs before; the outdoor wedding was beautiful. Everyone at Dara's went above and beyond to help make the event picture perfect. They blew off all the paths to dry the water and it was so appreciated Bride and Groom were both excited to dance the night away which is what they were able to do thanks to the staff at Dara's. Thanks again so much for making the wedding a beautiful and carefree day.

They were very adimate about making sure my wedding day was the perfect day. Even with all the rain that morning and early afternoon, they made sure everything was set up and dry before the wedding was to start.

I began planning my wedding in January of 2012. I found Dara’s Garden on a review and went to look at the pictures on line. The pictures were nice, but not anywhere as beautiful as the actual facility. There are so many different options that you can choose for the ceremony to take place. The staff is very accommodating and helpful to make sure that you have the perfect day of your dreams. I ended up booking after I visited the venue. This was actually the only one that I went to look at. I was not a big fan at first of being required to used their catering service, but now, I’m very thankful. This was a one stop shop. They even have lists of vendors that they used. I got my coordinator through them and was beyond please with the way she worked with the Garden. I am very pleased and happy with the way everything went.

Dara's Garden is a very beautiful place! Dara and her employees were always there when I had questions and always tried to meet whatever needs I had. My wedding was a great success and Dara and her employees help make that happen. They are great people and friends. They go out of their way to make your day special and that meant so much to me and my family. Their gratitude and caring went beyond my highest expectations. Everything turned out so great! Not only is Dara's Garden a VERY beautiful place, it is filled with very caring and understanding professionals who know how to make your day special. I would highly recommend Dara's Garden to everyone!!

Everything went well other than the weather, so my advise would be to plan for that at this venue. Make sure you have a back up plan and are prepared to use it if it comes to that. There were alot of things that didnt get done that were suppose to be because everything had to be moved. Not the staffs fault at all. The staff is great I just wish that the they would have made it to were we could have had our reception out back like it was planned originally since the rain had stopped.

We couldn't imagine choosing a more perfect place to have our wedding. Everyone was so helpful and went "above and beyond" to truly cater to our every want and need. We DEFINITELY recommend Dara's Garden to anyone looking to plan an event! Beautiful venue, beautiful people, beautiful memories! Thank you, Dara & Kate!

Dara's Garden was absolutely beautiful, Dara herself was on the grounds making sure that everything was done to our liking. The price was wonderful, well within our budget, I feel that we received more than what we paid for. Dara and her staff were wonderful to work with. Thank you Dara and staff for making Brooke's day special. I would recommend Dara's Garden for any wedding, we used the back yard for the reception and Dara put up Cafe lights and all of the twinkle lights in the trees made it a fairy tale wedding. We were extremely pleased with the way everything was done. Thank you again.

Dara's Garden is an amazing venue. Dara and Kate are very helpful and genuinely care about your wedding. I would highly recommend Dara's Garden!

Dara and Kate are great to work with. They have names of everyone/thing you will need on your special day to help make it exactly what you want.

Dara's Garden was absolutely fantastic to work with for such an important event. We went to a lot of event venue meetings and none were as pleasant and helpful as the staff of Dara's Garden.

Dara and Kate were available via email, phone and even for the occasional meeting during the planning process.

On the day of the wedding things went off without a hitch and much of the thanks goes to their wonderful staff.

We recently had a wedding reception at Dara's Garden. It was a wonderful experience all the way around. Kate met with us several times throughout the planning process and offered good advise on using the facility and our resources wisely. Dara also met with us and was so very accommodating to my family's specific needs. It is rare to find vendors and a facility that are as interested in providing a dream come true experience as they were. Dara worked with us to accommodate over 250 guests on a very hot and potentially rainy day. She added her own elegant touch, searched for the best price on additional tents and seating, and made sure all details were addressed to make our daughters reception truly delightful. It was absolutely beautiful. We could not have asked for more and appreciate their attention to detail. If you are looking for an outdoor wedding reception venue, we would highly recommend Dara's Garden.

Everything went smoothly and looked beautiful. I was not worried at all, I knew I would be taken care of. My family,friends, husband, and I all enjoyed the venue. We were very pleased with the experience and professionalism of the staff and Dara's Garden. My fairy tale came true!!! Thank you Dara and the staff at the garden!

I had a wonderful experience at Dara's Garden. Dara and her staff worked very hard to make my night a wonderful experience for my family and friends. They were very professional and organized. She knew how to make my night special by communicating with me about what little tricks would give me the little enhancement that I needed at the budget that I had to spend. We will never forget this time in our lives thanks to Dara and her staff. Thank you everyone at Dara's Garden!

Dara's Garden is a beautiful, breath taking venue with many wonderful photo locations, possible ceremony sites and receptions sites. They even have a fantastic tent in case of rain, or if you just want to use it. Dressing suites are provided for both the bride and groom and their party members. Suites are spacious and even include showers. Snacks and drinks are provided while the bridal party is preparing. The bridal party can even watch guests as they arrive. Dara's and Rothchild's staff are alway right there to meet your every need or desire while not being intrusive in any way. It was a beautiful, wonderful day and fabulous experience! I recommend Dara's Garden to any bride!

Very Beautiful Venue with lots of options

The most beautiful wedding venue in Knoxville! Everyone is so easy and fun to work with, and they go out of their way to make your day extra special!

We had such a great time on our wedding day! Kate and Dara helped us every step of the way and made suggestions on the little things I would never have thought about. The venue is beautiful! I wish I could go back and do it all again! Thank you Kate and Dara!!

Kate was great to work with and when I had a problem with my dj she stepped in and got the situation taken care of. My only complaints were that they waited til the day of the wedding to make sure they had enough table runners and unfortunately they did not but they totally made up for it with lounge chairs around my dance floor and beautiful ribbons on my ceremony chairs. The other complaint is that they waited too long to bring out my cake and so the black detail faded to brown, but from a distance you couldn't even tell. So, I guess you could say Dara's Garden was perfect for my wedding and we had a great time! Kate and Dara were great and I would definitely recommend this venue to any bride wanting an outdoor wedding! The venue is gorgeous!

Dara and Kate did a great job! They went above and beyond what was asked for and expected. The pricing of the venue and RothChild catering can't be beat by other Knoxville venues. The venue is beautiful - lights in the trees, soo many back drops for pictures to be taken, and the barn makes this place perfect for any bride and groom! The landscaping is well maintained and has many year-round assortments of flowers making a wedding feasible anytime of the year. The house is clean and cozy. I recommend to anybody to come out to Dara's Garden because you won't be dissappointed!

Dara's was so helpful in helping me plan our big day. They were very accomodating and flexible in making my dream day come true. I was very impressed with how they handled the rain situation with such ease. The only thing I was disappointed about was the contracted time--I felt that our reception was a little short because of the time limit, but otherwise, such a wonderful experience.

I am so pleased that we chose Dara's Garden for our wedding and reception. Kate Rogers, our consultant, was a joy to work in the months leading up to our wedding. Throughout the entire process Kate was extremely helpful, always making sure that the wedding and reception was what we wanted while offering many fantastic ideas to choose from. I loved the organization and helpful advice that was offered during our entire planning process. The staff at Dara’s Garden took care of everything the day of our wedding! They were even so kind as to contact me days before our wedding when we had a bit of a weather scare to offer alternatives that still met our requests. At the last minute we did make a few changes that I could not have been happier with. I didn't have to worry about anything and was left to enjoy our beautiful wedding and reception worry and stress free. Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful with beautiful blooms and scenic views, but the location is convenient, accommodates large and small guest counts, offers plenty of parking, and is affordable. You can't go wrong when planning an event with Dara’s Garden

We recently had our wedding here, and we couldn't have been happier. Their on-site caterer is great: we had a southern-food themed buffet (deviled eggs, fried okra, etc), and everyone kept commenting on how much they loved the food! A couple of people even said it was the best food they had had at a wedding.

We did a lot of research when we were choosing a venue, and we're so glad we chose Dara's! We knew we wanted to get married in a garden, but we wanted a backup in case of rain. We also wanted to be close enough to downtown Knoxville that we could provide shuttles for our guests to downtown hotels. We toured a bunch of venues in the Knoxville area before we settled on Dara's. The venue itself is just beautiful. We loved that Dara's was close to downtown Knoxville, was reasonably priced, had a great catering service, had beautiful gardens, plus an outdoor tent already installed on the property, in case of rain. In fact, the tent was so pretty we ended up using it for the reception even though it didn't rain.

We loved all the little touches that Dara's did on our wedding day-- they really went above and beyond, on their own initiative. When I walked into the reception tent, I was surprised and touched: they had decorated it beautifully in our wedding colors, without any extra charge. I wasn't expecting that, and it was little touches like that that made working with Dara's fantastic. Thank you Dara and Kate!

Dara's offered everything need for our wedding and more for a reasonable price. Kate and the rest of the staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and did everything to make the day perfect. the only issue we had was with security, in that they failed to show up causing our bar to be closed down, which was a huge issue. Other then that, everything went great! Couldn't have asked for better.

I absolutely loved having my wedding at Dara's Garden. The only thing I would change would be to have more options with vendors for wedding cakes that you could bring in. The food provided by Dara's Garden was delicious and many people said it was the best wedding that they have ever been to. Kate was very helpful with all the wedding planning and very good at providing different ideas.

Dara was great to work with and really kept me from stressing about anything leading up to the wedding. The food provided by Rothchilds was wonderful.

Dara's Garden was a bit on the pricey side but they helped bring my vision into reality. They made sure to add special touches that I had missed in my own planning. I felt like I was their top priority throughout my whole planning process and they led me to my other wonderful vendors. They really took the time to get to know me and offered ample opportunity to try different things on for size. I couldn't have been more pleased.

This beautiful place is located in the heart of South Knoxville. Words can not are not enought to explain the beauty and peace of mind I get from Dara's garden. They do everything from catering, cake, setting up and taking down. You only have to have a DJ if you are having the receiption there, photographer, and flowers.

Dara's Garden is a dream place for an outdoor wedding, located within minutes of downtown Knoxville, and moments from the airport, with lots of hotels close, it is a dream venue!! The staff is courteous and flexible, and the venue is stunning from every angle. There are at least six places on the grounds to have your ceremony, if not more, the set-up for out door receptions is stunning. We had our dream day here and it meant the world to us!

Dara's Garden is such a unique venue with a great variety of outdoor locations to choose from for both photography and the ceremony. Because of that, Dara's garden is one of our absolute favorite venues in Knoxville. Their gardens and barn areas are gorgeous for photos and their reception areas are contemporary, romantic and all of the things we love about weddings. Plus, Dara and her team couldn't be better to work with. They always go the extra mile to make sure their brides get everything they want for they wedding day and we are always thrilled to work with them.

Dara's Garden is one of the best venues in the greater Knoxville area for many reasons (the "country" location with a "city" flare, an option in case the outdoor wedding will not happen, etc.) but above all they care about the bride and groom and thier families - and you can't get better than that!

Dara's Garden is an absolutely gorgeous wedding venue in Knoxville. Dara, Kate, and the staff at Dara's Garden provide the highest quality customer service and always work directly with each bride to make sure their wedding is exactly what they envision. We highly recommend Dara's Garden to Knoxville area brides who are looking for a gorgeous outdoor wedding venue, top-knotch service, and an amazing wedding day!

Brides, please do not hesitate to visit with Dara! Her staff and venue are just amazing, I can't gush enough! Dara really knows how to help her client's through this very complicated process and make your day spectacular! The Property at Dara's Garden is so versatile and provides endless photo ops, while the staff insures that your guests are comfortable at all points!

Dara's garden is a lovely wedding venue with a picturesque landscape! Just love all the blooming roses and the winding creek! The staff is wonderful to work with as well.

Dara's Garden has so many gorgeous options for brides. The gardens are lovely, the tent rocks and the house is lovely as well. Great hospitality too. For someone looking for a lovely country setting for their wedding, this is a great place!!

Dara's Garden is one of the best outdoor wedding venues in East Tennessee! It's grounds are beautiful and it's staff is excellent! Kate and Dara make sure each bride is accommodated and has the best day! I would highly recommend them to all of my brides!

The trio has played several times at Dara's Garden and both times were great experiences. Lovely venue, great staff.

We LOVE to work with Dara's Garden! The property is beautiful and the roses are amazing! They are always willing to do anything to help us make the wedding beautiful!
