What attracts so many to Jonesborough, Tennessee as a wedding destination
and romantic getaway?
Nestled in the northeast corner of Tennessee lies the historic town of Jonesborough, Tennessee.
The first town in Tennessee to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places and known as
the Storytelling Capital of the World, Jonesborough still retains that small town USA aura from
long ago that so many want to experience.
People travel here for a variety of reasons – to stroll along the streets, meander through the
specialty shops, enjoy a leisurely meal in a unique setting, relax on one of the Main Street
benches, attend the theatre, enjoy one of the numerous town events and………get married!
Becoming more and more a destination wedding location, Jonesborough has that “something”
that few other locations offer.
What is this special “something?”
Historic charm, romance and southern hospitality are often words used to describe Tennessee’s
oldest town. While these qualities are appealing, what makes Jonesborough stand out and be so
unique and attractive as a wedding destination is once you arrive, you simply park your car and
enjoy.
What is so unusual about that?
It is rare to find such a variety of wedding and reception venues, lodgings, restaurants, specialty
and antique shops, theatres, historic sites, a brewery, a walking and biking trail, musical and
storytelling happenings, dancing, and everywhere endless photo opportunities all within walking
distance of each other.
Tell me more about the venues and lodgings.
A multitude of wedding location possibilities, both inside or outside, for large or small numbers of
guests, no matter what your preferences, exist in Jonesborough. They range from historic venues
like The Parson’s Table to seasonal locations ideal for intimate gatherings like the Mill Spring
Park gazebo or the garden of one of the ten historic bed & breakfasts or inn.
Speaking of lodgings, what a treat for your guests to stay in a historical bed & breakfast or inn. All
are different, all tell a story of their own.
What else is there to do?
The entertainment side of Jonesborough is endless. The Storytelling Capital of the World was
earned for a reason. Home of the International Storytelling Center, storytelling and the arts spills
over into the entire town – Contra dancing, Jonesborough Repertory Theatre, Krispy Kream
Theatre, Music on the Square, Storytellers Guild, weekly musical concerts at many of the
restaurants, the list is never ending. What a wonderful place to share with your family and friends.
Tell me about the photo opportunities.
Locations for photo opportunities abound. One is hard pressed to decide where and how many.

reflecting many architectural styles – Victorian, Italianate, Gothic revival, federal, Greek revival
and log structures. Other favorite spots include the railroad track, The Parson’s Table, the
courthouse steps, Little Limestone Creek, beautiful formal and informal gardens, Main Street, the
old schoolhouse, plus numerous wooden, brick and stone fences, gates and retaining walls.
