Tennessee Wedding Venue Rental - Estate 2 Day Rental

Tennessee Wedding Venue Rental - Estate 2 Day Rental

If you're seeking an unforgettable place for your wedding, give the historic Moffitt Manor of southern Tennessee a glance. Just steps away from charming central Altamont, the Manor offers ample space appropriate for a wedding. This fully-renovated home was built in 1885 and stands on a solid acre of green Tennessee mountain grandeur.

You'll also find several ideal backdrops for your wedding photos on-site, including various rooms rich in period architecture, an elegant staircase, eight ornate fireplaces, a gracefully covered balcony, a grand entrance with picturesque pillars, as well as delicate antiques and intricate wall coverings. Note: If you didn't bring a photographer along, we've included a full page of professional area photographers on this site for you to contact.

What comes with the Tennessee Wedding Venue Rental - Estate 2 Day Rental?

For two full days, you'll have access to:

• Six spacious and fully restored bedrooms

• Two and ¾ bathrooms

• Three tastefully appointed parlors

• A fully-equipped and pristine kitchen

• A traditionally furnished library

Enjoy the entire space yourselves, or consider inviting guests to enjoy the space with you and your beloved since the Manor comfortably sleeps up to 12 people.

For some additional space and possible variation in your photo session, there's also a rustic log cabin located outside the Manor. Previously used as a courthouse as well as a honeymoon cottage, the space measures 20'x 32' and has a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and fireplace of its own. 

You don't have to go hungry when you rent the Moffitt Manor

If you're interested, there are options for refreshments during your 2-day stay at the Manor. Choose between two types of homemade meals, the Tennessee Gourmet Meal and the Tennessee Country Meal. Each serving up to 8 guests, both meals feature organic chicken, locally homegrown garden vegetables, freshly-made southern sweet tea, and a fruit pie from the local Mennonite community bakery. Speak with the owner at the time of your reservation for details.

If you'd rather dine out or cater the event yourself, there are many dining options within a short ride of the Manor. We've included a few suggestions in our area activity guide below. 

Once the two-day wedding rental concludes, you and your guests may wish to explore the outlying region before making your way home. Here are a few of our favorite area activities and events for your trip planning convenience:

The surrounding area has plenty of fun, romantic spots for couples as well as groups of friends

With a rich history dating back to the days of Prohibition and beyond, Short Mountain makes authentic and original Tennessee moonshine, whiskey, and other spirits on their 400-acre farm. Book a tour, tasting, or cocktail class for your group, or stop in for the restaurant. Mouthwatering options like pulled pork crostini, pimento mac-n-cheese, fried green tomatoes, and ½-pound burgers with parmesan fries adorn the menu at this fine establishment. They also serve breakfast (Bourbon French toast, anyone?) and an extensive selection of Shine Cocktails and Aged Spirit Cocktails to boot. 

Phelp's Farm 

Approximately 2 hours from the Manor and 1 ½ from Short Mountain Distillery stands the fun and lively Phelp's Farm. Get in on a horseback riding lesson or trail ride, sign up for a welding or art class, learn about farming, or just hang out with the colorful resident chickens.
