A Wedding Near the Great Smoky Mountains

One of the things I love about this venue is its location. The Barn at Chestnut Springs sits just outside Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This provides hours of entertainment either before or after your wedding for guests. You may even want to spend some time enjoying the park yourself. You can do this either before you get married or as part of your honeymoon!

Make Your Wedding Your Own

For most couples getting married, customizability is important. At The Barn at Chestnut Springs, you can create your dream wedding. One of your first choices is where you want to get married on the property. The wooded cove on the lawn is a great option if you are getting married when it’s warm outside. If the weather is expected to be a little cooler, or if you simply prefer an indoor ceremony, you can also use the barn itself.

When choosing a venue, couples often want the freedom to use their preferred vendors. The Barn at Chestnut Springs provides a list of recommended local vendors, but you aren’t required to use them. You can choose the vendors and services that are important to you. This could even include a family pastor or someone with a meaningful connection to your family.It’s great for the couple who wants a particular catering service to handle the day’s menu. It’s fun for the couple who want a close friend to act as the DJ for the night.

Even the small details of your wedding can be customized to fit your needs. For example, you can bring in your favorite wine, champagne, or other beverages. Candles can be included as part of the celebration. The venue staff can help you with other wedding-day desires and preferences. The venue is great for small, intimate parties of only 25 or 30 people. But it can also accommodate up to 120 people.

Wedding Ammenities and Venue Inclusions

When you rent this space, you get the venue for 9 hours, with 1 hour reserved for rehearsal and 8 hours for the celebration. All events must end by 11 pm, as the venue closes then.

Rustic Charm and Mountain Scenery

All these accommodations sound great, but a wonderful wedding is about more than what a venue provides. You may also want a space that requires little time or money for decorations.

The rustic beams and grand chandeliers are so breathtaking that you will surely want them included in at least a few of your photographs. You may also want to take a few photos outside The Barn, allowing you to combine the natural beauty of the outdoors with the rustic appeal of the barn itself.
