Venue for small wedding

Hello!
I'm getting married 10/18/2020 and I'm in the process of looking for a venue that's not huge or tacky. I'm only having about 25 guests and my FH and I have our hearts set on an outdoor ceremony with some beautiful fall leaves in the background. We've looked into some places but they aren't our taste plus a couple of them provided their own photographer and we wanted to hire our own. We are interested in barns, historical buildings, gardens, ect. We'd like to be able to have our reception there too and it'd be even more helpful if it had space for my guests to stay but it's not a must. We are going with a star wars theme so we'd like to be able to decorate a little bit as well. Our budget is $6,000. Thank you for any help!

    Hey Kendall! Congratulations on your engagement!! It’s great to have you join the WeddingWire community!!

    Have you thought about holding your reception in smaller venues such as a local restaurant with a private dining area? I have linked you here to the Tennessee Restaurant Wedding Venues that we have listed on WeddingWire. If you decided to go down this route, you could look into local parks or gardens that would allow you to hold your ceremony.

    You could also look into the Tennessee Garden Wedding Venues to see if there are any that fit into your budget and cater for your guest count.

    A Star Wars theme sounds amazing!! Have you checked out Pinterest for some inspiration? There are some amazing ideas!!

    Gatlinburg did have some pretty outdoors ones, that you can do your own pictures ! But limited guest. There's a place in Seymour that's outside and beautiful but doesnt have a bathroom. We chose frozen head park in wartburg but only because that's where we met and we love outdoors . How far is Norris damn from you? They have a tea room venue its outdoors but the reception and dance floor indoors and really reasonably priced !!! Very beautiful ! He is star wars obsessed and I been googling ideas and can not find anything. So if you find any neat ideas , let me know !

    I would suggest looking into a state park! They often have patios/seating available for a small number of people and are super cheap! I don't know the regulations for decorations but I would imagine as long as they are picked up then it wouldn't be an issue!

    We are getting married at Chapel at the Park in Gatlinburg. We opted for the 30 minute gazebo package since it will just be us and our parents. They have some bigger packages that accommodate more people. The reviews and the photos I have seen are really good and the place looks absolutely beautiful.
