Ijams Nature Center Overview

Centrally located five minutes from downtown Knoxville, this 300+ acre wildlife sanctuary and green space is one of Knoxville’s greatest treasures. Choose to have your wedding or event at the historic home site, and enjoy the floor to ceiling views of forests, flowers and sky.

Wedding ceremonies are conducted at the Ijams Home Site where the legacy of the Ijams Family started in 1910. This is the only section of the property specifically designated for wedding day events.
