RT Lodge

I used RT Lodge to host my daughter's wedding and reception on Sept.4, 2011 and just cannot say enough good things about them. The staff, especially their point person, Alex, is amazing, especially since this was their first "hindu, indian wedding. She did not bat an eye when we asked her to arrange for a horse for the groom to ride on, and two days later we had a horse. the wedding day which till two days ago was supposed to have isolated thunderstorms, the night before predicted steady rain and the day of the wedding and so they arranged a tent for 200 people the day of the wedding. The food is delicious, cooked by a an amazing chef. the guests had a ball, the setting is very beautiful with nature walks, fire pits and koi ponds, the hotel seems cut-off from the rest of the world. the cleaning staff picked up the bride's room and put everything away neatly. great shuttle pick up from the airport and back. I recommend this a wedding and lodging location without no reservations.

One word: Magical. RT Lodge is truly a unique setting with a professional team that makes planning and hosting a wedding a breeze. From the management team, to the serving staff, to the grounds keepers, and the housekeeping staff, RT Lodge is a cut above all other locations for a wedding event. The whole atmosphere feels as if you have walked into a Ralph Lauren ad - classy, charming, and comfy, all at the same time. Ladies, THIS is your place for a memorable wedding. Emily Womac and her great team will de-stress your planning, you will have a lovely location for your pictures, and your guests will enjoy being in such a magnificent setting. Perfect!

Rt Lodge was the most perfect place to have a wedding and reception. The food was outstanding, the service was incredible and all the guests felt as if they had stepped into a very special place for the festivities. RT Lodge struck the perfect balence between making everyone feel cared for and right at home. I would highly recommend RT Lodge to anyone looking for a wedding location. It was ideal and I can't imagine having my wedding any place other than RT Lodge. It was truly perfect and that had everything to do with the awesome staff at RT Lodge.

Outstanding venue, service and professionalism. Our guests (from around the United States and Europe) raved that this was the most 'enchanting' wedding reception they have ever attended.

Honestly, our wedding celebration at RT Lodge could not have been more perfect!!! We deeply appreciated the attention and care that Gary, Emily, Alex, and every wonderful staff member showed to our wishes and those of our guests. The food and drinks were fantastic, and the service was impeccable. It was a treat to share the whole weekend with our loved ones from near and far who stayed at RT Lodge with us (and nobody else!). We enjoyed a family reunion as well as a wedding. RT Lodge's rustic elegance provided the perfect setting -- equally natural and magical. We enjoyed the emphasis on eco-friendly ways and "farm to table" food from morning through evening! We will cherish the memories and the many details that make those memories vividly real ... the fire pit with s'mores, blackberry mojitos, chilled melon soup served in baby mason jars, the trolley ride for our guests, gorgeous wildflowers, and the list goes on and on!

Normally when someone puts 5 Stars across the board it raises the question of how much thought was put into the response. In this case, I can not tell you how much thought has gone into reviewing our 4 day experience and how many letters of “thanks” we have received. So many have told me it was the most wonderful wedding experiance they have ever attended. In all honesty, hind-sight being 20/20, we wouldn’t have changed one thing. Emily was the most professional individual I have ever worked with and the entire staff was exceptional. I can’t say “Thank You” enough.

The RT Lodge was the perfect venue for our wedding. We are so lucky to have such a place in our own backyard! As Maryville College grads, it was important to us to have our wedding on campus. The Lodge is then perfectly located in the campus woods to complete our wedding weekend! All of our family and friends had to travel (1-3 hours up to 7 hours away) for the wedding and the Lodge provided the perfect weekend reunion location. Alex was great to work with and wanted to meet all of our needs. The staff is open to trying anything and has seen everything -- I needed their expertise and didn't have to think twice about table set up, bar, food, anything. I will never forget coming back from Brackins after the rehearsal dinner to find our families having a GREAT time around the fire pit. No other location will facilitate this feeling of togetherness!

Staff, food & overall experience was wonderful. Once we saw RT Lodge in person & thought of how our day would play out we both knew it was right for us! Perfect venue for us - we'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Our wedding was perfect. The RT Lodge provided amazing food and wonderful service. Our contact was very responsive and willing to work with whatever I wanted. I had heard comments during the wedding that it was the best wedding food ever had and that it was the most beautiful wedding they ever attended.

From beginning to end, RT Lodge emphasized that they were there to make the day special in whatever way we wanted. They took our ideas and made them come to life, adding special touches to the decorations, menu and venue to even surprise us the day of the reception. Everyone made our guests feel as special as the bridge and groom, making the entire evening memorable for everyone. Every request we made to service staff and management throughout the evening was met with a smile and an enthusiasm to make us happy. It worked! One guest commented that they kept waiting for the "fairies" to make an appearance at the magical evening.
