Dara's Garden
Wedding venue in Knoxville, Tennessee
About Dara's Garden
Set on 20 acres in South Knoxville, Dara’s Garden is primarily an outdoor wedding venue with multiple ceremony sites and a 4,000-square-foot reception pavilion. The pavilion has concrete flooring, drainage, gutters, adjustable sides, chandelier and bistro lighting, and space for dining and dancing; it is not insulated or air-conditioned. The historic home offers two private wedding suites, a kitchenette, restrooms, a fireplace and common areas, and is also available for micro weddings, luncheons and showers of 30 guests or fewer. Micro receptions can take place on the lower patio or in the fireplace room if weather requires. The Fairytale package includes 12 hours of venue access, a rehearsal the prior day, tables, chairs, linens, setup and breakdown, and an on-site representative. The venue works exclusively with Rothchild Catering for wedding receptions and requires approved bartending services and designated rental providers for additional standard rentals. A professional wedding coordinator is required; Dara’s Garden does not provide planning or coordination. Receptions generally conclude by 10:30 p.m., with a stated summer exception for some July and August events.
