From the reviews
This place is a hidden gem. Literally we've been down there to walk a bunch of times and had no idea there was a nice venue there. Excellent place for a wedding or party. Great pictures and reasonably priced. Only down side is it's not very big.
Getting married at University of Tennessee Arboretum Auditorium
University of Tennessee Arboretum Auditorium comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
