💙 DID YOU KNOW? 💙

We get asked all the time what kinds of events we can accommodate at the Sunsphere.

👶 Can we host a baby shower? YES!

🥂 What about a celebration with 150 guests? No problem!

💍 Can we host a wedding? Not only can we... we're pretty darn good at it! 😉

🎂 Birthday parties? Absolutely!

🎄 Corporate events and holiday celebrations? You bet!

But here's what we really want you to know...

The question shouldn't be what CAN we do. It should be what CAN'T we do?! 😂

With TWO beautiful event floors — our 6th and 8th floors — we have so many possibilities when it comes to creating an event that's uniquely yours.

And here's something else we hear...

“Well, we're only expecting about 20 guests, so there's probably no point in looking at the Sunsphere.”

STOP RIGHT THERE!

Some of the most beautiful events we've hosted have been intimate celebrations with even fewer guests than that!

You don't need 150 people to have an unforgettable celebration. Sometimes, the smallest gatherings create the biggest memories. 💛

From intimate proposals and small weddings to milestone birthdays, corporate celebrations and large receptions, we love bringing YOUR vision to life.

Because at the Sunsphere, it's not about how many people you're celebrating with.

It's about WHAT you're celebrating and WHO you're celebrating with. ✨

We get asked ALL the time how the Sunsphere windows are cleaned. 👀

Well... here you go! 😂🪟

And just in case anyone is interested, I've heard they're always hiring! 🤣

I've also heard some people might stretch the truth a little during their interview...

Interviewer: "Are you afraid of heights?"
Applicant: "Oh, absolutely not! We LOVE heights!" 😎

Also applicant when they see the actual job: 😳😬😱

So, for your viewing pleasure, enjoy these absolutely TERRIFYING pictures of what it takes to keep those beautiful golden windows sparkling! 😂

But seriously, can we give a HUGE shoutout to these incredibly brave window cleaners?! 👏👏👏

Because we appreciate you more than you know...

And we could NEVER. 😂🙅‍♀️

Who's brave enough to do this job?!

🖤💍 HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO A HALLOWEEN WEDDING? 🎃

Who says a wedding has to be white flowers, soft pastels and traditional décor?

And we LOVE when couples make the Sunsphere completely their own.

So since it's Fall Break and we're fully embracing spooky season around here, we have to know...

Would YOU get married on Halloween? 👀

🎃 Absolutely — give me ALL the spooky details!
🤍 Maybe... but make it elegant.
😂 Nope! Keep the ghosts away from my wedding!

And if you've ever attended a Halloween wedding, we want to hear about it! Was everyone dressed up? Was the reception Halloween-themed? Tell us below. 👇

🍂 IT'S OFFICIALLY FALL, Y'ALL! 🍂

Knox County is on Fall Break, which means we're calling it...
Fall is officially HERE! 🎃🍁

It's time for pumpkin patches, hayrides, Halloween parties, football Saturdays, cooler evenings and all the things we love about this time of year in East Tennessee. 🧡

And while we're at it... why not plan a little fall fun of your own?
👻 Halloween party?
🎃 Spooky celebration?
🍂 Fall gathering with one of the best views in Knoxville?

You bring the thrills and chills — we'll bring the view. 😉

Not really your spooky-season vibe? That's okay, too!

There are still dates available in November and December for holiday parties, company celebrations, family gatherings and all the reasons we find to celebrate as the year comes to an end. 🥂

But those dates won't last long, so if you've been thinking about planning an event before the end of the year, now is the time to get it on the calendar.

Fall is here. The holidays are coming.

Let's celebrate, Knoxville! 💛

💙 A little behind the scenes — Did You Know info 💙

Most rentals at the Sunsphere include 5½ hours:

✨ 2 hours for setup • 3 hours for your event • 30 minutes for cleanup

But let's talk about that setup time... because those 2 hours are really only part of the story.

Those two hours are primarily for your vendors — most often your catering and bartending teams — to come in and prepare for your event.

But there's a whole lot that happens outside of those two hours that most people never know about or see. 👀

Long before your caterer arrives or the bar is being set up, we're already working behind the scenes to get the Sunsphere ready for you.

And that starts with our very own Josh McClure. 💛

Josh is the one making sure our event spaces are cleaned, reset and ready for the next celebration. He's waxing floors, touching up paint, checking all the little details and, yes... even folding the ends of the toilet paper. 😂

They're the kinds of things you probably won't notice when you walk in — but that's because they're already done.

Then the rest of our team gets to work.

If you rent linens through us — which makes things SO much easier for you 😉 — we pick them up, make sure they're ready, get them out for your event and return them afterward. One less thing for you to worry about!

And if there's a problem with the linens? You'll almost NEVER know — because we've already taken care of it! 😉

Then your vendors arrive and the room really starts coming together. Our friends at Rosa's Catering, bartenders and other vendors are working alongside our team — food and bar areas are being prepared, equipment is being checked and dozens of little details are falling into place.

Those 2 hours of setup? A LOT happens.

But there's also a whole lot of work that happened before those 2 hours ever started. 💛

That's the part most people never see.

By the time the elevator doors open and your guests begin arriving, our goal is for you to walk into the room and simply feel like everything is ready. ✨

You see the finished event. We see all the people, preparation and little details it took to get it there.

Because one event is never just one event.

Every little detail has been planned, carefully placed and expertly put into motion — long before the first guest ever walks through the door. 💛

And that's part of what makes celebrating at the Sunsphere so special — having an experienced event team behind the scenes helping bring it all together.

💗 SUNNY’S ADVENTURES 💗

Okay... Sunny knows she's been a little quiet lately. 😂☀️

But don't worry -she hasn't been sitting around!

She's been out and about exploring our beautiful city, getting ready for a busy season of fall events at the Sunsphere, and making a few stops around Knoxville along the way. 💛

Most recently, Sunny got to hang out at Visit Knoxville's Block Party - and you KNOW our girl wasn't going to miss a party. 😉🎉

And you might even spot Visit Knoxville's President- Kim Bumpas hanging out with Sunny! ☀️💗 We love getting out and spending time with the people who make Knoxville such a special place.

Between football season, fall events, exploring Knoxville, and all the fun happening around town, Sunny has been BUSY!

She's got plenty more adventures coming, and we can't wait to take you along. ☀️💗

And since it's GAME DAY in Knoxville...

Sunny has just one more thing to say:

GO VOLS! 🧡🤍🏈

Planning a corporate event? 👀✨

Whether it’s an employee appreciation dinner, company celebration, awards night, networking event, holiday party, or simply an opportunity to bring your team together — the setting matters.

And let’s face it... another conference room just doesn’t have quite the same view. 😉

With two private event floors overlooking Knoxville and the Smoky Mountains, tables and Chiavari chairs included, our sound system, and an experienced event host there to help, we make it easy to take your corporate event above the ordinary. ✨

And yes... if you haven't already booked your venue, now's the time!🥂
