RT Lodge

One word: Magical.

RT Lodge is truly a unique setting with a professional team that makes planning and hosting a wedding a breeze. From the management team, to the serving staff, to the grounds keepers, and the housekeeping staff, RT Lodge is a cut above all other locations for a wedding event.

The whole atmosphere feels as if you have walked into a Ralph Lauren ad - classy, charming, and comfy, all at the same time.

Ladies, THIS is your place for a memorable wedding. Emily Womac and her great team will de-stress your planning, you will have a lovely location for your pictures, and your guests will enjoy being in such a magnificent setting. Perfect!

Rt Lodge was the most perfect place to have a wedding and reception. The food was outstanding, the service was incredible and all the guests felt as if they had stepped into a very special place for the festivities. RT Lodge struck the perfect balence between making everyone feel cared for and right at home. I would highly recommend RT Lodge to anyone looking for a wedding location. It was ideal and I can't imagine having my wedding any place other than RT Lodge. It was truly perfect and that had everything to do with the awesome staff at RT Lodge.

Outstanding venue, service and professionalism. Our guests (from around the United States and Europe) raved that this was the most 'enchanting' wedding reception they have ever attended.

Honestly, our wedding celebration at RT Lodge could not have been more perfect!!!
We deeply appreciated the attention and care that Gary, Emily, Alex, and every wonderful staff member showed to our wishes and those of our guests. The food and drinks were fantastic, and the service was impeccable. It was a treat to share the whole weekend with our loved ones from near and far who stayed at RT Lodge with us (and nobody else!). We enjoyed a family reunion as well as a wedding. RT Lodge's rustic elegance provided the perfect setting -- equally natural and magical. We enjoyed the emphasis on eco-friendly ways and "farm to table" food from morning through evening! We will cherish the memories and the many details that make those memories vividly real ... the fire pit with s'mores, blackberry mojitos, chilled melon soup served in baby mason jars, the trolley ride for our guests, gorgeous wildflowers, and the list goes on and on!

Normally when someone puts 5 Stars across the board it raises the question of how much thought was put into the response. In this case, I can not tell you how much thought has gone into reviewing our 4 day experience and how many letters of “thanks” we have received. So many have told me it was the most wonderful wedding experiance they have ever attended. In all honesty, hind-sight being 20/20, we wouldn’t have changed one thing. Emily was the most professional individual I have ever worked with and the entire staff was exceptional. I can’t say “Thank You” enough.

The RT Lodge was the perfect venue for our wedding. We are so lucky to have such a place in our own backyard! As Maryville College grads, it was important to us to have our wedding on campus. The Lodge is then perfectly located in the campus woods to complete our wedding weekend! All of our family and friends had to travel (1-3 hours up to 7 hours away) for the wedding and the Lodge provided the perfect weekend reunion location. Alex was great to work with and wanted to meet all of our needs. The staff is open to trying anything and has seen everything -- I needed their expertise and didn't have to think twice about table set up, bar, food, anything. I will never forget coming back from Brackins after the rehearsal dinner to find our families having a GREAT time around the fire pit. No other location will facilitate this feeling of togetherness!

Staff, food & overall experience was wonderful. Once we saw RT Lodge in person & thought of how our day would play out we both knew it was right for us! Perfect venue for us - we'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Our wedding was perfect. The RT Lodge provided amazing food and wonderful service. Our contact was very responsive and willing to work with whatever I wanted. I had heard comments during the wedding that it was the best wedding food ever had and that it was the most beautiful wedding they ever attended.

From beginning to end, RT Lodge emphasized that they were there to make the day special in whatever way we wanted. They took our ideas and made them come to life, adding special touches to the decorations, menu and venue to even surprise us the day of the reception. Everyone made our guests feel as special as the bridge and groom, making the entire evening memorable for everyone. Every request we made to service staff and management throughout the evening was met with a smile and an enthusiasm to make us happy. It worked! One guest commented that they kept waiting for the "fairies" to make an appearance at the magical evening.

RT Lodge is an amazing venue! They have several ceremony and reception options, all of which have endless design options. The staff is excellent to work with and they always greet our team with smiling faces! We have enjoyed past events we have worked at RT Lodge and get excited when new opportunities come along allowing us to go back! If you want a rustic, outdoorsy, elegant, and charming indoor & outdoor event venue with rooms for your guests and an easy location to find...look no further than RT Lodge!

We love going to RT Lodge!! The staff always wants to help and makes our set up painless. The Lodge is so beautiful you don't need to use many decorations at all. Just "people" flowers and your done!!!

When you first visit RT Lodge it feels like you have just discovered a mountain retreat yet it's very accessible. The grounds are comfortable and inviting and the staff is very professional and attentive. I always look forward to photographing events there!

This is a beautiful venue in Maryville, Tenn. Sitting in the woods for privacy, but convenient to town and Knoxville. Warm and cozy lodge feel with plenty of rooms for the bridal party and family to all stay together.

Beautiful spot for a wedding ~ the gardens, tent and indoor spaces provide so many options for almost any size event. Always lovely to work with too!

We recently photographed a wedding at RT Lodge and everything went perfectly. The staff are professional and thorough, always delightful, and the facility is beautiful and immaculate. A beautiful venue for a wedding in Maryville, near Knoxville, TN! The wedding photographs were amazing, including the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception.

RT Lodge is one of the most beautiful venues in this area. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with a rich elegance. The staff has a wealth of experience and ideas to make your event more than you could ever dream of. I highly recommend you give them a call.
