The promoters here are known for delivering exceptional service and facilities one event at a time. Shows: That is what this place in known for. They have gun shows, boat shows, RV shows, flea markets, trade shows, consumer shows and special events here. There's bathroom facilities at the front entrance along with a concession stand. Tickets Sales booth is outside at front entrance. Parking: Theres plenty of parking in front and along the side of the building. I have no problem about parking every time I come here for an event. Restaurants: If you come here for an event and don't want hot dogs or hamburgers, then there are lots of restaurants in the area. Only about a mile away is Cracker Barrel and Hooters off of Interstate 75 at Exit 108. However, there are numerous restaurants in the area.

The Central Collective doesn't serve food nor have tables. It reveals that this person has never even been inside or know what kind of business this is. This person was upset that they parked illegally out front and their car was towed. Further, the review includes a photo that you get by googling "cockroach gif." It is not a customer photo. https://goo.gl/AKpY2J

We selected Tipsy Daisy after meeting a representative at The Magnolia Open House. Our initial…read moreexperience was very positive, and we were impressed by the personalized guest experience they offered along with several unique touches that helped distinguish them from other bar service providers. Unfortunately, our experience changed approximately 30 days before the wedding. The representative we had worked with was no longer with the vendor, and communication with the new representative was noticeably different. During the final weeks leading up to the wedding, we experienced several instances of miscommunication that created unnecessary stress during an already busy time. On the day of the wedding, there were aspects of the bar service that did not meet our expectations or align with items we had contractually paid for. After the wedding, we communicated our concerns directly with the owners regarding services and products that were not available throughout the evening as agreed. While they did provide a partial refund, it did not fully address our concerns, and ultimately the resolution came down to differing accounts between our experience and that of the bartending staff working the event. I want to note that the limited reviews I have found for Tipsy Daisy are generally positive, and I sincerely hope our experience was an exception rather than the norm. However, because our experience differed significantly from what we initially anticipated, I would encourage future couples to carefully document all verbal discussions, follow up important conversations in writing, and review their contract thoroughly before the wedding day. Additionally, I recommend assigning someone to periodically verify that contracted services and specialty items are being provided as expected throughout the event. Planning a wedding requires a great deal of trust in your vendors, and clear communication and accountability are essential. Our overall experience was disappointing and did not fully reflect the level of service we expected based on our initial interactions.

A DIY engaged couple's paradise! PERFECT WEDDING!!!!!! We…read morechose to just rent the property and not go with the "all inclusive" package... and we are so happy we did! The rental of the property came with linens, chairs, staff set-up and tear down of their items, and some fake florals as well. You must be off the property by midnight, so I suggest ending the wedding around 11:00pm, so your other venders can clean up! The view.... BEAUTIFUL, BREATHTAKING, WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!! Our wedding ceremony took place outside at the gazebo; we couldn't have been happier with the moments and photos captured. The lodge (where we held the reception) was extremely spacious and comfortable for our wedding size of 75, with 8 guests at each table, there was plenty of elbow room. The temperature was cool (with 85degrees outside), and the dance floor was always filled- aside from dinner time. The Brothers Cove staff assured the details were taken care of and we had no issues with our open bar (you can only have 3 liquors, but our bartender helped us add on more in). We hired a local golf cart company to assist with shuttling, because if you have more then 75 guests it is a necessity to have shuttle service with the property. All licensed personnel and venders must be given to the property management before the big day; this is a norm we found in the area, and is to assure all venders have insurance. The overall experience with the Brothers Cove Lodge- yes, it was expensive to rent (over $4,000); you get a rehearsal time of 1.5hours either the day before or day of the wedding, your rental time for the wedding is from 12:00pm that day- midnight. Parking is limited at the top- about 15 spaces, but parking is available for guests at the bottom too. If any guests stay on the property... we just had the golf cart guys (HotWheelz/Michael- owner) drive to their cabins to pick them up. We did mark the guests cabins with balloons for easier sighting at night- I recommend this! Bears.... Yes, you'll see them!!! The actual cabins on the property: Brothers Cove does not own. We unfortunately had a lot of issues with cleanliness and broken appliances with 4/12 cabins rented, so definitely talk with the rental company of assuring everything works. You get a 10% discount on cabins, if you hold a wedding on the property. We stayed at "above it all" and it was the BEST cabin- 360degree views, 2bedrooms (one was used for getting ready, while the bridesmaids decorated the other for the beginning of our honeymoon), 3 bathrooms, a large kitchen, and plenty of space downstairs for a make-up team to get you ready. Rain chances scare any couple... if this happens, the ceremony will be set-up inside the lodge. We had a 60% chance of rain for our June wedding, but not a single drop fell. Cellphone service is limited, the drive up is steep, but the the views are worth it!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND BROTHERS COVE AND WOULD DO IT ALL AGAIN!!!! PERFECT WEDDING!!!!!!!!! Venders We Used with this amazing property: *HotWheelz for transportation- (865) 323-0577. *Simple Bliss (day of coordinator): Misty Cooper *Cake Pump (wedding cake/cupcakes): Tonya *Chef's Catering (food/dessert): speak to Sarah *Andi Allen Photography: she was outstanding! *Julie Bartender: (865) 566-2876 (cell). *DJ (Knox Vegas DJ/ use Jack): (865) 282-8070. *Violinist: Millicent +1 (423) 262-3061 (amazing)!

The views and the lodge really make it a dream wedding. All of our guests keep raving about how beautiful it was :) Now behind the scenes is the planning and coordinating with the venue employees. From the onset of the booking they were beyond complicated. Every question I had was always answered with "no" and then several added complications that caused me stress. Instead of helping through the process, they just added more and more obstacles. They definitely do not like DIY brides and do not offer a helping hand whatsoever. The worst part was that the night of our wedding they began stressing out our wedding planner, telling her that if we were not our by midnight they would charge us $250. We had an issue with transportation which caused a delay. My husband and I were already in panic mode and they did nothing to help. Instead they were shoving us out at 12 and telling us we had to drive the trash down. I wish they would have just had some empathy for us on our wedding day. We spent the last hour of our wedding helping move things out of the lodge. If you book this place, mentally prepare yourself that you will not have their help and that they will add complications to the vision that you have in mind. But again, the views are to die for.
