    Most amazing service and Group of people!

    I recently got married at the Barn on 11/12 and it was one of the most amazing and memorable days I will cherish for the rest of my life. I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate Andrea with all her help from beginning to end and the amazing job she also did with my Flowers everything was perfect and more amazing then I ever imagined it. Lisa brought all my ideas to life and made sure that everything was ready to go and looking perfect! She was able to rehearse my ceremony with us and we were able to get everything done right on the first shot! I cannot tell you all how appreciative I was to all of them and how amazing my day was and all because of the work they do! They managed to pull off all my ideas and execute everything so much better then I ever dreamed of all while I was working on the ohine with them from Florida! I hope to one day be back at the Barn to celebrate and create many memories with the ones we love! Until then we love our Tennessee family at the barn and we will visit soon!

    The Barn Event Center of the Smokies's reply:

    Thank you Nallibe for taking time to send this wonderful review! We are so very happy that you and Christopher started off your new life together in such a memorable fashion! I can't wait to see more pictures when you get them to share!
    Congratulations!
    Come back and visit anytime!

    Our wedding was a fantastic fall night

    The barn was our first place we visited for potential venue. We looked at some more but nothing compared. It was absolutely the best day of my life. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Our director Lisa Allen went above and beyond. Stephanie was so attentive during the reception and made sure we had food and time to eat. They really are a hidden gem. I would recommend this place to anyone. It’s 100% worth every penny!

    The Barn Event Center of the Smokies's reply:

    Congratulations Leah and Josh! We are so happy you choose us to share your day with! We all wish you both the very best!

    Perfect Setting for Perfect Memories

    Our son and now daughter-law asked us to host the rehearsal dinner for their destination wedding. Though there are many places to consider in the Pigeon Forge, TN area what first got out attention was the ambience--an old rustic farm building renewed into a surreal setting. Nestled on a hillside, from the moment you arrive there is that feeling that something special is about to happen. And, you will not be disappointed. The staff went out of their way to help us plan the best way to utilize the space. The decor, including use of the original wood beams, makes for a wonderful intimate setting. Many of our guests upon entering the room simply said, "Wow! What a great place." The tables were set up to our specifications. When it came time to eat the staff were very eager to serve, polite in their questions, and obviously committed to our welfare. The food was outstanding. We had two entrees available to our guests. Both the mandarin orange chicken and the cinnamon apple pork were described by many, "as the best that they ever had eaten". The re-stuffed baked potatoes rivaled those found in some of the best steakhouses. Even after the wedding the next day many guests were still commenting on the food including some who ran a prominent restaurant in Georgia. The strawberry shortcake dessert pleased many a palate. If one views the rehearsal dinner as an opportunity to thank people who have had an impact upon the bridal couple as well as a fun retreat from the stressors of the wedding, there is no place better. They are helpful, professional and desirous of delivering the best experience possible. I doubt if those who first built the barn ever imagined that it would become such an outstanding venue that would create lasting memories.

    The venue is breathtaking and the service is spectacular!

    We got married on June 12th, 2021 and it was everything I ever dreamed of!
    The day of our wedding could not have been more perfect. Rich and his staff took great care of us.
    From start to finish, they made our wedding dreams come true. Rich, Andrea, Lisa and Stephanie are amazing at what they do. They are prompt, knowledgeable and beyond helpful. We fell in love with Barn Event Center the minute we walked in and met with Lisa!
    She was so kind and sweet and we were convinced immediately that they would make our wedding dreams come true.
    We got married in their beautiful Gardens and had our reception in the Le Conte Room. The venue is breathtaking and the service is spectacular!
    My husband and I had the best day of our lives, and we got so much great feedback from our guests. All of them said it was the best wedding they’ve been to!
    The bartender ( The Pour Guys) made amazing drinks and people rarely had to wait. The night started and ended perfectly, I am beyond happy with my experience.
    Just want to say a big thank you to Barn Event Center for making our wedding perfect. Definitely recommend them for weddings or even parties!

    Hello Gaby!
    We are so very happy for the both of you!! Thank you for the wonderful compliments and taking the time to post them!! We all strive to make your day extra special !! I can't wait to see pictures!!!!

    Wonderful wedding venue!

    The Barn Event Center was wonderful for my daughter’s wedding. The food was really good, the servers were so nice, the flowers were the most beautiful I’ve seen at a wedding (thanks Andrea), the room was beautifully decorated, every little detail was wonderful. The people working at the venue were so nice and helpful. They went above and beyond trying to make this wedding wonderful. Thank you for the beautiful wedding.

    Beautiful December Wedding!!

    I got married at The Barn Event Center on December 19, 2020. It was the best day ever and wonderful experience!! Food was good, staff was so friendly and helpful. Andrea made the prettiest flowers I have ever seen. The outdoor ceremony was stunning. I was truly impressed with everything about this beautiful venue. If someone is looking for a beautiful wedding cake use the chocolate bar in Townsend, Tn.

    Thank you The Barn Event of the Smokies for The Perfect Day and Evening!

    We looked at several venues but nothing compared to the The Barn Event Center of the Smokies! Debbie took us for a tour of the venue and everything inside and out was immaculate and absolutely beautiful! They have taken so much time, love and care in every detail of their property and it was stunning! She was professional, friendly, kind and knowledgeable. Andrea worked with us on the flowers, table set up, food and other details. She was patient, kind, helpful and answered all of our questions. She had so many creative ideas for decorations and flowers and she made it fun. The flower decorations were extraordinary! We used them outside and inside. Lisa is the wedding coordinator and she was a gem too. We talked with her before the wedding, the day and evening of and she was friendly, helpful, patient and also had many great suggestions. She always had a smile on her face was calm, helpful and directed the day and evening perfectly. Everything flowed. The staff was great, the food was delicious and everyone was an absolute joy to work with. You can tell they enjoy their jobs and they made us feel welcome and like family. Thank you!

    Above and Beyond

    Everyone at the Barn was so easy to work with. Felicia and Lisa went above and beyond the day of the wedding and Andrea was always willing to let us stop by and answer our many questions. They are stocked with all sorts of decorating items from table linens to vases. We spent very little money on flowers etc because it just wasn't needed. The food was fantastic! No complaints whatsoever.. We received so many compliments about the venue from our guests!

    Perfection!

    Our daughter just had her wedding and reception at the Barn Event Ctr of the Smokies and we were so thrilled with the outcome! They were professional from start to finish! The event manager, Andrea, gave us direction with lists of recommended vendors including cake bakeries, photographers, florists, dj, wedding coordinators, and even officiants. The facility is beautiful and the service impeccable! Each desire of the couple was listened to and suggestions were made to work with our budget and number of guests. We had a wonderful buffet dinner for 110 people that was complimented by all! Highly recommend!
