I'm new to the area and I need a good place to have a baby shower. Everyone will be from another state and I really want to show off TN to them. Any interesting, not too expensive places to hold a shower of only about 10 people?
I can only think of a couple of places I think would work;
Calhoun's on the River has an upstairs banquet space that you can rent out or a seperate area on the mail level for smaller parties. That area is pretty nice because it overlooks the river and is surrounded by glass. I believe you pay for the upstairs space to rent that out but the downstairs one is just for reservations so that would be free. Their food is amazing and is great for out-of-towners that want to get a sense of good Tennessee barbeque!
Copper Cellar restaurant on UT Campus is also a nice restaurant that has seperate areas you can reserve for party events. They have great food and it is located in the heart of Knoxville.
There are several outside places I would recommend, but the weather is so unpredictable here at the end of March. I would plan something indoors just to be safe.
Check out The Plaid Apron in Sequoyah Hills. They are pretty amazing. There is also Applecake Tea Room in Farragut.

Re: Knoxville baby shower venues
When would you be having the baby shower? Spring?

Hope this helps a little!
