To be married in the State of Tennessee, a couple must have a marriage license. To apply for a marriage license in Tennessee, you can fill out a pre-application form on the County Clerk’s website. Then both you and your future spouse must appear in person at the Clerk's Office in a county in Tennessee, we recommend downtown Sevierville. A marriage license is valid for 30 days from the date it is issued, and couples may be married as early as the same day. You must both be present and have a valid ID to apply. The marriage license fee is $41 if one or both parties are from Out of State and $101 for In-state residents.
We will gladly recommend several reputable catering companies in our area to offer you a diverse range of options in a variety of price ranges. We have carefully chosen these preferred caterers based on their passion and dedication to deliver exceptional fare and service to all of our couples. Should you opt to use an outside caterer not on the preferred list, pre-approval is required.
Yes! Couples are welcome to provide their own alcohol (which is a rarity at most venues and a HUGE way to save on cost!), but it must be poured and served by one of our two licensed, exclusive bartending companies.

We often host weddings on weekdays and weekends, so it’s likely The Trillium venue will be reserved for another wedding the day before your event. For this reason, our couples should plan for an offsite rehearsal. Our sister venue, The River Place, in Sevierville, TN is a great option for a quick mock ceremony walk through and rehearsal dinner. Take it from our professional wedding planners - the most important part of a rehearsal is gathering everyone to talk day-of-schedule and details which can happen in any space. Of course, you are welcome to bring anyone who would feel more comfortable seeing the venue (such as your DJ, officiant, flower girl, ring bearer, etc.) to one of our Open Houses.
We understand and appreciate that animals are extensions of our families! We are happy to welcome your pet, but ask that you abide by some very specific, contractual policies .

With the exception of service animals, pets must remain outdoors, be with a designated caretaker and be on a leash at all times. We can provide recommendations for dog sitting services that will take great care of your furry friend.
Absolutely! In fact, The Trillium wedding venue boasts two incredible outdoor locations for couples to choose from. The open air patio offers uninterrupted, panoramic views of the Great Smoky Mountains as a wedding ceremony backdrop and tends to be the most popular choice amongst couples.

This option still gives you the sought-after mountain views and open-air feel, while also providing protection from the elements under the soaring vaulted ceiling and exposed wood beams. Your chances of having the outdoor mountaintop wedding of your dreams just became a reality!
Of course! At The Trillium, we have a plan for all weather conditions and all seasons! If the weather is too extreme to utilize the covered patio space or if you are planning on a romantic winter wedding, there is plenty of room inside to hold your wedding ceremony. With an entire wall of floor to ceiling windows, your guests will still be able to take in the views of the Great Smoky Mountains from the comfort of the Great Indoors!
