About The Blackberry Farm Wedding Venue
1471 W Millers Cove Rd, Walland, TN 37886
Blackberry Farm and wedding venue dates back to 1930 when Florida and Dave Lasier decided they wanted to build their dream home in the mountains. Right as they found the right spot to break ground, Florida snagged her stockings on a blackberry bush, and thus, the name was born! Since then, the land has been expanded to create an oasis right in the middle of Tennessee. It has gained a reputation as one of the top wedding venues in the region and has even been rumored as a potential wedding site for a certain pop star no longer in the bleachers!
Details of the Grounds
When you book Blackberry Farm for your wedding day, the team will include accommodations in one of their historic rooms. All of these locations will give you a lovely backdrop as you get ready for the day alongside your wedding party!
For an outdoor ceremony, either the Main House Lawn or the Steps to Nowhere will be perfect! These lush spaces are perched high on the hill, giving you an epic view of the Smoky Mountains just beyond your altar. From there, it will be time for your cocktail hour. For this, I suggest Yallarhammer Pavilion. Your guests can enjoy specialty mixed drinks overlooking the water as you take your pictures.
You will be able to host your reception in the Yallarhammar Pavilion yard, or you can move things inside to Bramble Hall. The latter option provides you with an event center that has been inspired by rural barns. This will give you all the classic interiors with modern comforts.
Photography Opportunities
With Blackberry Farm, the surrounding property will give you countless wedding portrait opportunities. As you explore the land, you are going to have the Smoky Mountains stretching on behind rolling hills and dense forests. The golden hour here is truly unmatched! You can also use the lawns near the farm for your group portraits.
Wedding Details
Blackberry Farm specializes in planning luxurious, stress-free weddings. When you book them, you will have overnight accommodations for you as well as up to 140 guests. They will work with you to create a farm-driven menu that will then be prepared by their chefs. Additionally, they can help you plan activities for your entire party throughout your weekend.
