The Magnolia Weddings & Events

ve got somewhere to start your planning! Only thing I wish they had was an area for the men to get ready. Everything else was amazing! Well worth the trek up!

of the vendor recommendations were spot on. We had the most beautiful, FUN day and everyone was so impressed with how beautiful not only the view was, but the venue itself! From the gorgeous open-air reception hall to the comfortable bridal suite (complete with champagne, a thank you card, and snacks for us!) to the patio itself where we said our vows and danced under the stars. It was everything I dreamed of and more!

ent perfectly. Amazing enough, the venue looks just like the pictures you see. It’s so gorgeous!

olia for my own special day. Macey handled my 1 million questions with ease. There is real life magic in this venue, I am sure of it!

g sure that we had what we needed. With the mountains all around you everywhere you look, it cannot any better! The various spaces for activities are great as well from the outdoor area we used for the ceremony and dance floor, inside the main hall, the covered patio and of course the awesome bridal suite!

recast. The venue is very versatile and prepared for inclement weather. We were hoping to have our ceremony outside on the patio, but the rain wouldn't allow for that. We were able to adjust and have the ceremony still outside on the covered patio with the reception inside after. Leading up to the wedding, Macey the venue manager checked in with us many times. She sent over helpful information regarding the marriage license process, final venue reminders, and was always available if we needed to contact her. Marlie was our venue contact that was on-site for the day of the wedding and she did an awesome job getting the bridal suite ready as well as cleaning up around the venue. I highly suggest The Magnolia Venue for any event that you might have in mind. Macey is great and willing to answer any questions that you might have. The pictures are gorgeous, but in person the venue and views are breathtaking. We had a wonderful experience with The Magnolia Venue for our wedding!

uests up the mountain, but the shuttle made it incredibly easy. All of the vendors we worked with, most recommended by The Magnolia, were incredible and also made our day a dream come true. We stayed at the cabin right next to the venue, which made all of the day of logistics incredibly easy, and it was convenient for our wedding party to stay there with us. If you book The Magnolia, I highly recommend booking that cabin around the same time! We wanted a classic and relaxed wedding, and The Magnolia was exactly what we hoped it would be. Everyone we worked with was helpful and responsive, making our day perfect. Can’t say enough great things about The Magnolia!

rance. She went above and beyond to make our 42 day turn around timeframe to be executed flawlessly. She and her Mom (the owners of this venue) traveled into town to see our wedding and meet us. They made us feel confident in their staff and like we were family. We could not recommend a better place to get married. If heaven were a place on Earth - this would be the place and they would be the gate keepers. Every moment was so magical. Thank you again to the Magnolia Venue team for making our dreams come true!

o easy to communicate with during the planning process. The bridal suite is beautiful, air conditioned, and so dreamy for getting ready with your girls. We had the wedding of our dreams in the mountains and our guests were blown away with our venue. I highly recommend The Magnolia Venue if you are looking to get married in the Smokies. Everything about it is magical!

hey answered all of our questions & sent us recommended vendors that helped in our wedding selection. I cannot praise this place enough. Your wedding will be the MOST BEAUTIFUL wedding if you choose The Magnolia as your venue!!

ut what an experience with the magnolia would be like. The moment I saw the view I knew this was our venue, but it only got better as I learned more. They arranged to meet us again over Christmas vacation because at the time my daughters wheelchair accessible van was having some issues and couldn't bring it up to the venue. So they took us up in a truck. We have put off our wedding for 14 years because we have a medically fragile child. Sharing that moment on our Christmas vacation with our children couldn't have been more perfect! I had a mishap with my planner and had to let her go. I reached out to Millicent and Dean in a panic to see if they could give any input on good planners. Not only did they help me with that, but they also went out of their way to do things that I believe they didn't need to do to make it right! Everyone who works with the Magnolia has gone above and beyond from day one. The day of it was raining that morning and stopped right before we left t head up. It was very windy so tons of pine needles had fallen back down even though they just blew off the driveway. I also only know how to drive on flat land! My vehicle with my bridal party wouldn't make it up the mountain. This is something that could have ruined my day, and I did start panicking because I was scared I wouldn't get my daughter and her wheelchair up to the venue. One of my vendors called Millicent. Not a minute after I parked I swear it was like all of Pigeon Forge stopped and made sure I made it up there! Within not even 5 minutes I got a call 4 people, and they had two more options heading to me to get me up there! They are prepared for these situations! We have been up about 6-7 times since starting to plan and they work hard to keep the driveway its best and to keep improving it. Not once, even when I started to panic, did I think I should have never booked my wedding here. I'm a HUGE animal lover, and I'd seen on social media that a bride had a bear show up during their day. I wanted a bear too I got 4 bears and a raccoon! They stayed a safe distance away, but I say this to explain how prepared everyone was for it. When we realized they were there everyone from the planner to the venue was ready. We got to see them, and then they went on their merry way. For some of our guests this was their first time witnessing that and it was great! The location? I mean come on! Look at the view! The Magnolia was PERFECT for our intimate wedding. We had 20 guests, and the venue didn't take away from the intimate feel. The bridal suite was more than enough to accommodate us. That was the best morning relaxing with my closest people, sipping mimosas, getting make overs, and looking at the beautiful mountains. Everyone at the Magnolia brings an impeccable level of professionalism, but not to the point of being stuffy. I felt like I was planning all of this with a friend, and they always made me feel like the only woman in the world and no day was more important that mine. How they give everyone this is beyond me, but they do! I miss working with them!! Huge thank you to everyone at the Magnolia the day we waited 14 years for couldn't have been more perfect!

geon Forge and Gatlinburg. I highly recommend this venue! Bonus, it houses your reception too!

elpful and she brought us to our wedding planner who was an absolute angel. All of my wedding dreams came true on November 3, 2018. I am overjoyed and couldn’t be more thankful that we found this venue and their people!

was the one. The view, the ceremony & reception spaces, and the bridal suite are all so stunningly beautiful. Our wedding turned out to be the most magical night of my life! Millicent was so helpful & accommodating throughout my wedding planning process - she was always available for a phone call or via text to answer my questions. Her & Dean were in town for my wedding & helped assure that the day went perfectly. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

building and is very convenient to get prepared and keep your belongings! The planner I used for this venue was very knowledgeable in all vendors needed which was very helpful as this was a destination wedding and I was not familiar with the area. Here were my only issues which by far did not outweigh the benefits. Price is on the high end. We chose a Thursday date for a significant price difference and being everyone came from out of town it didn’t matter much. Fri-Sun price was just too far out of budget. 2nd, I did not know until about 3 weeks before the wedding the difficulty it is to get to this venue. It’s literally on the top of a mountain, and extremely steep one lane roads to the top. Guests were unable to drive to the venue, and we had a shuttle service bringing guests up and down. Being from the flat lands of Ohio, many of my guests commented this was the scariest drive of their life 😬 I felt developing a shuttle schedule and communicating this to all guests was difficult last minute and I’d liked to have been able to include that information in their invites if I had known prior. The shuttle had to make 3 trips for our 35 guests which then led to people arriving over 3in early without anything to really do. We were not allowed to serve drinks prior to the ceremony so it’s not like they could even do that while waiting. 3rd if it rains AT ALL, regular cars cannot make it up the road. For this reason, we had to cancel the rehearsal the night before and could not drop off all the decor/supplies/alcohol as we intended which caused an extra stressor on me the day of. There was also no where to store cold beer prior to and my father ended up buying a ton of ice/coolers just to keep cold before bartender arrived. Overall those little details did not take away from the wedding being everything I wanted!!! The beauty and originality of this place beats any other weddings we’ve been to. I am still getting compliments!!!

It rained for about half an hour during our cocktail hour, but all the glass still made it feel very open, and we could still appreciate the view. So many places for beautiful photos. This venue was stunning.

vident that they cared for EVERY little detail. The Magnolia is truly one of a kind and I could not have found a better setting to create those first memories with my groom. Thank you, Dean, Millicent, Misty, for ALL making my dream of getting married in the mountains come true, for your gracious help that was only a text away, and for you genuine care for our day. At the end of the day, I know I was spoiled with my wedding experience. Simply said: it was a dream, all thanks to the magnolia.

say about the venue as well as the owners of the venue. They were readily available during the months leading up to the wedding to answer questions and went out of their way to make sure we had a quality experience. If I could give them 100 stars I would because they were that awesome. Everything on the day of the wedding went amazing and the venue is like something out of a dream. It is absolutely beautiful. We happened to have a very sunny, warm day and were able to have the ceremony out on the deck, but even if bad whether were to strike the covered portion of the venue is so beautiful that rain or shine I can't think of a better spot to be married. Overall, we had an absolutely fantastic experience and couldn't recommend this venue enough.
