My fiance and I struggled to find a place that had everything we were looking for our wedding, and knew immediately as soon as we found The Trivium that "this is it!" The place is absolutely GORGEOUS inside and out and has everything we were looking for... The Trivium is a beautiful venue with several locations for a ceremony (inside or outside), has a gorgeous on-site reception venue that requires nothing in terms of decorations (except maybe centerpieces), you can bring in your own catere, and even has an onsite photo booth which was a HUGE hit with my wedding guests! Plus the inside of the home is beautiful and is a photographer's dream, so your "getting ready" photos will be very pretty. Finally, I can't say enough about the service... Heidi was AWESOME to work with through the entire planning process. She was very helpful, very professional, and very friendly, and we felt from the beginning like she appreciated our business, which is rare in the wedding industry. ONLY downside is that if your GPS is set to "shortest distance", it tends to send people a squirrely way (down a dirt road). That being said, the place is right off a main road and is NOT at all difficult to find... but you might want to suggest a specific route for your wedding guests on your website or invitations. I have received NOTHING but compliments from my guests and family about my wedding location. My husband and I (and all family members) would WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend this venue for your wedding or event!

I don't know how to describe how gorgeous the Trivium is. The old southern charm combined with modern renovations is breath-taking. When I first showed my fiance the Trivium he was floored by the beauty of the place and the warmth and professionalism of Heidi the owner. We loved having our wedding and reception there everything was perfect from the beautiful and roomy bridal room for myself and my girls to the groom's room that had a gaming system and pac man arcade game. Heidi made my day perfect by finishing all the small details and taking care of everything and anything I asked of her.

The options here are endless! Available for indoor or outdoor. We had an outdoor wedding, used the main house for cocktail/picture hour and then an indoor reception in the amazing ballroom. The setting is beautiful and the team working there are just as amazing as the place. They were so helpful and always there when we needed something. Impeccable service. Also nice was WE could choose every other aspect of our wedding including flowers, catering, design, planning, etc. The Trivium is an excellent venue and I'm so happy I got married there. Also available was the FUN photo booth LOVED by our guests and also sparklers were accepted.

The greatest venue in the area is back in business and better than ever! When I look back on our wedding, the venue is probably my favorite thing (and dear I say, prettier than my wedding dress! haha). Heidi Baker has put in so much effort to making the Trivium look like something from a professional interior design magazine. She has got to be the most helpful professional I dealt with during the entire wedding planning process. I'm not one of those girls who had their wedding day planned out ever since she could read, so there was some changing of my mind as the day was getting closer and closer. Couple things had to be completely rethought of. Despite that, Heidi was extremely flexible and I never saw frustration in her - she actually offered advice to better my crazy ideas :) She was bending backwards to make our wedding day the most amazing experience ever no matter how hectic it got, and I am extremely grateful for that!
One of the advantages that I found at the Trivium that I didn't come across anywhere else (and I did a LOT of research) was the inventory. They have absolutely everything there! I didn't have to buy a single votive or vase, which really helped with the budget. They had all shapes and sizes of everything. Even different arbors to choose from!
Another thing that makes the planning easy, is the ability to bring your own vendors - especially the caterer. Mostly every venue has contracts with certain vendors they have to fulfill the contracts with, and as a bride I felt very constricted with choices. Honestly, I passed on a couple of great venues just because I was required to use such-and-such caterer, photographer, or florist. Required??? It's MY wedding day - I should be able to do what I want!
I have to say, girls, if you skip out on the Trivium - it just won't be the same.
Wish you all the best!

The Trivium Estate and Conference Center is one of the most gracious and beautiful sites to be married. The staff is excellent and easy to work with. Every detail about the site as well as the grounds are breathtaking. You can view the mountains and the lake. Go back in time.... it's simply divine.
