My fiance and I spent a lot of time trying to find the “perfect” venue in Knoxville. After countless hours of researching and visiting, I saw The Julianna listed as a newer venue. My parents and I went to visit first because my fiance was out of town, but as soon as he returned, I told him we had to go see it together. The pictures do not do this venue justice; it is a hidden gem that has a great amount of elegance and charm.

The main ceremony location is well shaded and was perfect for our June wedding. The accommodations for the bridal party (separate spaces for both the bridesmaids and groomsmen) were extremely comfortable for getting ready throughout the day. The reception spot is beautiful without decorations (which is a huge plus)! Sandy was great at finalizing the details and everything went smoothly before, during, and after the wedding. Also, it was so nice that the chairs, tables, linens, chargers, and even some other decorations were included in the pricing; that is hard to find.

I cannot say enough good things about this venue and I highly recommend you pay The Julianna a visit because you will likely fall in love!

I planned my sons first birthday party at The Julianna in the beautiful courtyard. Not only was it a stunning venue but the staff was incredible to work with. Very personable and easy to help plan. My facility consultant, Sandy, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we asked for and more. Any event from small to big, The Julianna will have you covered! Bravo!

I had my reception for my wedding at The Julianna, but I also booked it for the overnight stay and was SO happy I did! With my ceremony being on the early side, I had to have my hair and makeup done super early and was extremely excited to have the option of the overnight stay! We just rolled out of bed to get hair and makeup done and then did our first look before our ceremony! After the ceremony, we had cocktail hour and the reception at The Julianna. All my guests RAVED about how elegant and perfect the venue was! The Julianna had to perfect amount of space and setup for all my guests. And don’t even get me started on the fireplace!! So gorgeous! On top of all that, The Julianna is completely family-owned, so they made it extremely personable to us!

The Julianna is a wonderful venue. It is so pretty and the people are so easy to work with. We had cocktails out on the patio before dinner. The dinner space was big and roomy. It felt cozy at the same time. We hosted the dinner but felt like we were the guests! We were so pleased with The Julianna!

I had my wedding at The Julianna on May 29, 2021, and had the most blissful day. The Julianna is a beautiful venue with so much natural beauty surrounding the grounds. We did the package with the farmhouse package and I highly recommend this! We had 8 girls stay the night in the farmhouse the night before the wedding and it was PERFECT. We still had plenty of room in the house and the house was so accommodating. The bedrooms are large and open with very large bathrooms so all the makeup needs. The house made the weekend all the better!! It was perfect to be able to spend time with the girls before the big day.

The Saah family is incredible to work with. They are so warm and inviting and will go above and beyond to make the day perfect. The breakfast included in the farmhouse package was a large spread and simply so good!! The months leading up to the wedding were simple and stress-free thanks to The Julianna staff working with me on everything. This family is exactly who you want to be working with on your big day. I cannot express enough how fantastic this family and venue are. People are the wedding told us several times that our wedding was the most beautiful wedding they have been to! I highly recommend The Julianna for weddings and any other events!!

The team at The Julianna truly made us feel like royalty and made us feel so special for our big day, as well as the whole planning process. The Saah family is so great to work with and made the experience one that we will always reflect on with fond, happy memories. From being so accommodating in getting us in quickly for the initial tour when we first got engaged, to having multiple meetings with us to make sure everything about our vision was brought to life, to having multiple people around the entire day of our wedding to make sure everything moved seamlessly, I cannot say enough about how great the team at The Julianna is.

The property itself is breathtaking and has multiple options to fit your theme or vision, and I love how there is a built-in rain-day option without having to spend an arm and a leg by renting a tent – instead, there is a gorgeous indoor setting that is beautiful on its own and also beautiful with exquisite decor and florals! I love how we were not restricted by a certain list of vendors that we had to choose from like other wedding venues tend to enforce so that we could truly put together the best team possible to fit our vision. Sandy really went the distance in being there every step of the way and worked so great with my wedding planner, and I truly feel like I had the best team possible for the most important day of my life.

Do not look any further than The Julianna for your wedding or special event because you will not be disappointed. Thanks for such a beautiful, perfect setting for our fairytale wedding day, Saah family! We love The Julianna!

The venue was gorgeous, it was the perfect place for my son’s wedding. Everything was clean and checked on constantly which helped me relax knowing we were being cared for properly. The owners and vendors were so kind to us and were able to adjust based on our needs. If you want a wedding done right, this is definitely the place!

Getting married at the Julianna was a wonderful experience. It was such a joy to plan our special day in this beautiful place. We were excited to share with our family and friends the special corner of the world. It’s a breathtaking area with beautiful grounds, and a farmhouse to stay and entertain our out-of-town guests. But at the same time, it’s a place to slow down, take a deep breath, and enjoy the sunset! And that’s what we, and all of our guests, did! The staff and owners were extremely nice and helpful. I would recommend the area to anyone looking for a special and easeful place to plan a wedding!

We absolutely LOVED The Julianna and all my guests were obsessed with how beautiful everything was! Plus, the overnight farmhouse stay worked out absolutely perfectly for us and I couldn’t have asked for a more amazing wedding venue!!

On Saturday, May 14, 2022, my family experienced the most beautiful, storybook wedding at The Julianna. The day was picture perfect! There’s really no other way to describe it. When we started venue shopping, my daughter had done her research and had several local venues lined up to tour over a period of two weeks. The Julianna was the very first venue we visited, and it was also the last. “When you know, you know.”

The Julianna is a family-operated business, and we were made to feel like part of the family from the onset. Sandy was the representative we worked with from the beginning until the end. She was personable, accommodating, thorough, hospitable – and fun! She was easy to work with; helped us get things exactly as we envisioned, and made things less stressful for us. (Believe me. The importance of this can’t be overstated.) We were made to feel like our wedding was of great importance to them (and not just a business transaction). Suzanne provided oversight and continued to check in with us to make sure all was going well and if there was any other way they could assist.

The location of the venue provides an “out in the country” type atmosphere yet it is just minutes from Northshore Drive with lodging, restaurants, and shops. The venue itself is drop-dead gorgeous! The professional landscaping is impeccable and aesthetically pleasing. Everything was in bloom, and there was lots and lots of green (trees, bushes, vines, flowers). The ceremony site was beautifully romantic with the soft trickling stream running alongside the seating area. It was the perfect serene setting for the praise and worship-oriented ceremony Krysta and Chris had planned. We truly felt God’s presence at the ceremony. The patio area used for the social hour was equally impressive. The foliage and big tree wrapped in lights added a whimsical charm to the evening.

There were so many great places for the wedding party (as well as our guests) to take photos. The entire grounds were breathtakingly beautiful allowing some amazing aerial shots for our videographer and unbelievable sunset photos for our photographer. As far as the other accommodations (which are equally important), the bridal party had a blast spending the night in the spacious and well-furnished guest house the night prior to the wedding.

On the day of the wedding, the large and well-lit dressing area for the bridal party proved to be a great asset. The groomsmen had their own quarters to relax and dress in prior to the ceremony. The dining area was, once again, beautiful with large crystal chandeliers gracing the rustic setting. This wedding was fun and truly a celebration! The oversized reception area with dimmed lights accommodated lots of dancing which produced lots of smiles. The sparkler send-off, with our guests lining the front sidewalk, was the perfect ending to a perfect evening.

Thank you to The Julianna team for helping Krysta and Chris begin their marriage in a most perfect extraordinary way. If I could give a rating of more than 5 stars, I would!
