Editor's Letter
Monday, February 3, 2025



As we turn the page into February, I am thrilled to officially begin my second year as editor of VIP Knoxville Magazine. This milestone is incredibly meaningful to me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue crafting a publication that resonates with our wonderful community. Thank you for your support over the past year. I cannot wait to see what this year brings. One of the things I am most excited about in 2025 is the chance to revisit some of our most beloved issue themes, while also introducing fresh ideas and stories.

February holds a special place in my heart because it marks the arrival of our annual Wedding issue. I have to admit, this is one of my absolute favorites. There’s something magical about weddings—the love, the joy and the meticulous details that reflect a couple’s personality and story. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the couples who graciously shared their weddings with us for this edition. It’s always such a privilege to showcase these moments of happiness, and I hope you enjoy reading about them as much as we enjoyed curating them.

Thank you, as always, for being part of the VIP Knoxville family. Your support and enthusiasm fuel everything we do. Here’s to a month filled with love, gratitude and plenty of reasons to celebrate. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for all of us!
