    We had our wedding here in December 2019. The venue is beautiful and iconic and has wonderful…read moreviews. The business that runs it, however, is awful. Sunsphere Events staff (specifically the owners and operators) were extremely rude to us and our family on our wedding day, but also neglected to set up a third of the tables and chairs we'd requested and they had approved. A third of our guests had to stand through dinner and while everyone remained in good spirits, this is very frustrating from our perspective. We even had some guests who left before dinner because they couldn't find seats. In follow-up emails they've been untruthful to us in order to cover up their mistakes, and they also claim they were not rude when we had everyone who interacted with them directly tell us otherwise. It's incredibly frustrating to have an otherwise perfect day marred by such an incompetent and gross company. I would absolutely recommend having your event at the Sunsphere, just wait until a different company is running the venue.

    I reserved the 6th floor for my company's holiday party in December of last year…read more Pros: This is an iconic and fun venue, and the view is great. It was convenient that we could play our own music over the speakers. They provided a microphone so we were able to conduct a rousing game of trivia. They set up a Christmas tree for us, and the lights reflecting off the windows created a beautiful ambiance. Cons: The event staff advertises the 6th floor as capable of accommodating as many as 150 seated guests. My group contained about 140 seated guests, and space was tight. On a related note, several members of my group complained about the availability of the restrooms. (I didn't see it myself, but I heard that there was only one stall for men and one for women.) Taking all of this into account, I'd say that this floor should probably be capped at 100 seated guests. When I arrived an hour before the event to take care of any last minute details, everything was supposed to be set up, but due to some internal staff miscommunication, it wasn't. I helped them set up the tables and chairs for the better part of an hour. They had another holiday party going on at the same time on the 8th floor, which divided the attention of the Sunsphere staff and also limited the availability of the elevators. The table linens they provided weren't clean on either side, and the chairs and chair cushions could definitely benefit from an upgrade. Also, this is more of a personal issue, but the event staff directed me to park in the fire lane to unload the party supplies, and while I was parked there, I got a ticket. This is a pretty mixed review, which is representative of my group's reactions to this venue, but my overall impression was negative, especially since no one on staff followed up with me after the event to ensure satisfaction. With a few tweaks, this experience could have been a lot better.

This is a great place to reunite with family since the are so many opens spaces to sit and talk. Coffee,btea and snacks are always available. There's a wonderful patio out back where you can relax too. I highly recommend this lovely place.

    This is our second stay with the lovely Lynn Beal. Magnolia House is located on a bird sanctuary…read moreand is nestled by nature on all sides. And the nice thing is that it's conveniently located only 9 miles from downtown Knoxville. When you arrive, Lynn will give you a tour of the place, give you instructions and your special key code to get in and out as you please, and lastly, bring you to your room. We have stayed in two different rooms and our favorite is the spacious room upstairs with the en-suite bathroom. Room amenities include: extra towels, pillows, and blankets, a fan, a white noise machine, smart T.V., luggage stand, and a binder of useful information. Each morning, Lynn serves a continental breakfast from 8-10 a.m. which includes: fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs, homemade muffins, granola bars, and oatmeal. The coffee and tea bar is always open, which I just love. I can't sing enough accolades for this beautiful bed and breakfast and its delightful host. If you're visiting Knoxville and you need a place to stay, you don't need to search any further.
