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. Some choose to do everything DIY while others choose to have a wedding coordinator, catered food and decorators come to prepare everything for them. 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!

Historic Ann's 1893 - Wedding & Event Venue was a wonderful choice for our wedding. The venue was incredibly communicative, sending us timely group messages and always responding to our questions within the same day. The space was perfect for our needs, with a large ceremony area and an intimate reception space all in one location.

Firefly Acres was the perfect venue for a wedding I attended for a family member that was getting married. The owners were responsive and incredibly friendly in their communication leading up to the big day. The views around the property were really cool with lots of wildlife to see - horses, chickens, deer, turkey etc.. The grounds were immaculately maintained. The hosts were awesome - very easy-going and laid-back folks who made us feel right at home. This venue offers incredible value, with a beautiful, private setting that is still very convenient and easy to access. The on-site cabin we stayed in for the wedding was spotless and beautifully decorated in a vintage fishing theme.

Having our son's wedding at Battle Mountain Farm was the absolute perfect choice. From the day of the tour to the clean-up, this process could not have been smoother or easier. Mandi and her staff were so helpful during every step of the way, and the expectations were clearly communicated. The property is naturally beautiful and well-kept, and the supply of available decorations helped us save money. I highly recommend the Total Package that includes the Main House, Gazebo, Horse Stable, New Event Barn, and Grounds. This gives flexibility with housing and time to decorate and set up at a more leisurely pace. Mandi's experience as venue manager for this specific location for the last 10 years helped us in so many ways. She has a depth of knowledge of what works well and what does not work. Even with a threat of rain (for our outdoor ceremony), Mandi and her staff did not panic and had the indoor contingency plan ready. We are so thankful we chose Battle Mountain Farm and cannot speak highly enough about our experience.

It is a lot of space to decorate but they do have helpful coordinators for month of planning. I will say ours disappeared on us a bit day of unfortunately and some timeline things fell through- could be vendors not communicating well also- but otherwise they were so helpful and the day was gorgeous!

We had our rehearsal dinner here and were amazed by how perfect it was.

My husband and I just got married at Laurel Ridge last weekend and I could not possibly do their team justice in one review, but I will try my best. Holly and Ariel were absolutely wonderful to work with from our first walkthrough. They are kind, communicative, and incredibly helpful. Every part of the wedding planning process was so easy with this team. The food was absolutely incredible, bar staff and servers were incredibly kind, and Holly and Ariel worked with our vendors to ensure that our day was perfect - and it truly was. If you are looking for a venue that will take your breath away, do yourself a favor and set up a walkthrough here. The views are beautiful and each reception space is ideal. We had our ceremony at the arbor and our reception at the pavilion, but if we had to move inside for the rain, I would have still been thrilled. So many of our guests had stated that they looked at pictures of the venue before attending and were still awestruck when they stepped onto the property. We could not possibly be more grateful for Laurel Ridge Country Club and its team for giving us the most wonderful wedding day.

If you are considering booking the zoo for your wedding, this is your sign to do it. Every single aspect exceeded our expectations! I honestly can’t emphasize enough how accommodating they were. They truly listened to everything we wanted, and even then went above and beyond what we asked for to make our day perfect. I was honestly surprised in the best way at how much they did for us. On our wedding day, they had an event that morning that more people showed up for than they had accounted for, and even still, they made us priority. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, the catering was top notch, and the set up and breakdown were effortless. For a day that everyone warned me was chaotic and stressful, that was just simply not the case at the zoo. Miranda was our coordinator and I will forever be grateful for her and how she made our special day (and the months leading up to it) the best way we could’ve asked for.
