“I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience at the Magnolia. From the start, Macey was so helpful and answered all of my questions quickly! The day of the event, the staff was incredible. They were available for anything we needed. The venue itself is incredible- the views are absolutely gorgeous and people could not stop talking about how incredible the space was. The weather was perfect in mid-September and they were able to open the sliding doors of the reception space which added another layer of gorgeous views and fresh air that people are still talking about a month later!

Our wedding venue at The Vieux is very versatile. You can choose to get married in front of the mountains up by the gazebo and outside chapel, on the balcony of The Vieux in front of Mt.

Wherever you choose, your wedding will be unique and just as you choose it to be. We don't charge an exorbitant amount for our venue because we want you to be able to afford to stay at The Vieux and have your wedding all rolled into one at a great price.

Whatever you choose is up to you so it can be your perfect day on The Mustard Seed property at Your Home Away From Home in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. All of your guests can stay too in our 7 other cabins on the same 12 acres/mountain top.

“This venue was an answer to prayer, the perfect place to have my smaller wedding with a rustic family gathering vibe. The Vieux doubles as an Airbnb and wedding venue, which was the ideal space for my wedding since my family was from out of town. Knowing that I was paying one price for lodging for my family and a wedding venue all in one was a major source of peace of mind. It was so wonderful not worrying about having to book two different venues for the ceremony and reception! Not to mention how beautiful both the cabin and grounds are! We were going to have our ceremony on top of the mountain with the mountain views in the background but the uncertainty of the weather influenced our decision to have it down at the cabin instead. We did take our couple portraits at the top of the mountain with the views though! The Vieux has so many options - inside and outside - for both ceremony and reception locations (if weather doesn't look like it will cooperate!) Having those options was amazing, as well as the host's communication, responsiveness and willingness to help at every step of the process - also an answer to prayer. Kathryn was a phenomenal host and I highly recommend her and her venue! She helped us so much, kept in constant communication whenever I had questions or needed any kind of help. It all culminated in the most beautiful and special day that my husband and I could imagine. We will always look back on our wedding with the sweetest memories - all made possible by Kathryn and The Vieux. It truly did feel like our home away from home!”

“First off let me state that if anyone if planning a wedding, definitely hire a Day of Coordinator, even if you think you do not need on as it definitely helps the day go smoother! I also recommend not hiring the cheapest coordinator as remember you get what you pay for and some are just not experienced at all as I learned this the hard way!!!!!!! I hired another lady because she was cheaper and she turned out to be horrible!!!! I found this company and spoke with Alex and Ariel at the beginning and let me tell you...... what a relief. I told them about the situation with the other planner and they were so kind and understanding. I am so happy to have found someone who was more of what i needed and knew what they were doing. Everything was great. They have a portal you can communicate with as well as text messages and so on. I felt great and anytime i felt overwhelmed with anything, they were there to help me! I hired most of my vendors, but the bartender and caterer they provided was wonderful and the food was spectacular!!!!! Everyone had lots of fun and our coordinators for the day were both awesome and on top of everything. I am telling you all now..... hire them!!!!”

We can help you find the perfect vendor team to plan an unforgettable event that fits your budget and personal style.

“Kirin & Heidi stood out from the many wedding coordinators I considered because they were the only ones who got me really excited to plan my wedding. I was anxious about planning a 5-day destination wedding that was 4 hours away from where I lived. A wedding where all 50 of my guests were flying and driving from out of town. But Kirin & Heidi's expertise, organization, knowledge of the area, and overall excited energy helped me through a very long year of planning. They were responsive to all my emails, and from the second I booked them they took the initiative to schedule meetings with my venue and vendors. We did video calls for things I could not be in person for and relied on their eyes and taste to help me select things. Despite the distance, it was easy to connect and sync. On wedding day, we simply got to relax and enjoy. It was clear that Kirin & Heidi had my back. Despite my vague, minimal instructions, they did an absolutely beautiful job setting up the ceremony and reception area. If I needed or wanted anything, I only had to say it once and it simply happened. They were SO sweet to our family and guests. When you have a small wedding like we did, the presence of the people who are working at the wedding can be felt. And they fit in as if they were part of the family. Kirin & Heidi - thank you for turning our abstract ideas into a beautiful reality. You helped me make a meaningful day something truly special. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect!

“My partner and I worked really hard to bring together wedding vendors that fit with our intentions for a personal and intimate wedding. Leah was an absolute perfect fit!! Relaxed, friendly, and kind, Leah brought much needed peacefulness to the day and captured beautiful moments that I will cherish forever. I knew I wanted documentary-style photographer because I didn't want to spend my wedding day shuffling around for the perfect shot. I wanted someone to be a fly on the wall, taking photos that represented the true emotion and energy of the ceremony and celebration. When we met with Leah, she was genuinely interested in getting to know Sam and I as a couple and individually. We felt like we were collaborators, not just clients. When WNC was affected by Helene, Leah was the only vendor we were able to communicate with and so she became our boots-on-the-ground, giving us information and helping us to make the decision to postpone our wedding a year. 364 days later, Leah arrived onsite and immediately brought a calming energy: sweeping through family photos, knowing there was a bit of tension; snapping a quick photo and then flitting away for my partner and I to have some alone time; and deftly navigating the many folks that approached her for group photos during the reception. Our photos were delivered via email on Christmas Eve, perfect timing to peruse through with visiting family. The images were everything I wanted and more. Leah's talent is astounding and I'm so glad that she was part of our day.”

  • Serves Alcoa, TN

My work is defined by the intersection of European art influence and American classics. I offer a highly intentional, elevated approach to wedding photography — one that prioritizes both aesthetic excellence and emotion. With a bilingual background and experience working with international clientele, I easily find the right approach to my clients needs. Through a balance of intuitive direction and unobtrusive observation, I capture both the grandeur and the quiet, fleeting moments that others often miss. The result is a body of work that feels timeless, sophisticated, and deeply personal.

“One of the biggest decisions you’ll make for your wedding day is choosing your photographer—and let me tell you, Anastasiia is truly the best of the best. She is thoughtful, intentional, caring, and incredibly kind. Not only will she give you the most beautiful photos you could imagine, but she also has a way of making your entire day feel even more magical because of the vision she has in her head. Our wedding gallery full of moments we didnt even knew she is capturing along with some creative shots, and that made it even more special to us, because that takes more than just being a photographer but talent. Her talent is unmatched, and her ability to capture every moment so seamlessly and beautifully means you’ll have the most incredible memories to look back on for years to come. I feel extremely glad to have worked with her—and you will too.”
