Beautiful Wedding

Trina was such a help! Loved her, it felt like I’ve known her my whole life such a down to earth person. The venue was amazing with such pretty views of the mountains. Honeymoon cabin was beautiful and cozy. We forgot to do our marriage license so the minister came to us which was such a big help & meant so much to us.

The view, the view, the view!!! That sums up this beautiful venue. My wedding was August 11, 2018 at Almost Heaven, and my guests could not believe the view. Cindi and Octavia were a delight to work with. I planned my wedding from West Virginia so I relied on their assistance, as I'm not familiar with the local vendors. The day of the wedding, they kept everything moving, and left me with very little stress. I highly recommend this venue.

Booked through my coordinator and it was the perfect view for an outdoor wedding. Wish the bride's dressing room was bigger to allow for pictures.

Where to even begin??? Stan and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Cindy at Almost Heaven Resort & Weddings. Almost Heaven Resort is the PERFECT place to get married in the Great Smoky Mountains, with the most beautiful mountain views and a reception hall that is gorgeous. Cindy and her staff does an amazing job making sure every single detail is exactly what you want. There is no way I could have had the wedding of my dreams without Cindy! I would highly recommend Almost Heaven Resort & Weddings; they are the BEST!

Almost Heaven was amazing to work with. They made our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. They take care of everything for you and make the wedding planning process easy and stress-free. Cindi was so great to work with. She was very attentive to details, responds quickly to emails and calls and makes you feel like family throughout the whole process. My flowers, photography, cabin and hair and makeup all turned out great. Our pastor Ken Link did a great ceremony for us and made us feel very comfortable on our special day. I have absolutely no complaints and would use all of their services again!! - Amanda and Jason

Our wedding and reception at Almost Heaven were absolutely amazing!!! As a Pennsylvania bride planning a destination wedding in TN, I was a little nervous about everything coming together, and honestly planning for things to not be quite what I was imagining. Everyone warned me to be prepared for things to go wrong.
Cindi was super helpful in making sure every detail was covered in the planning process. She was attentive to all of our questions and requests, and advised us on how to best work with time constraints to make sure all our desires were met, while our guests could still have a relaxing evening. The day of the wedding she was efficient but friendly, joking around with the wedding party and keeping everyone where they needed to be and prepared for what they needed to do. With rain clouds in the distance, she gave us her advice, but asked our preference in delaying the ceremony and we said Nope! Let's do this! The view cleared and the rain held off.
Every part of the day completely exceeded our expectations!!! Their florist created a stunning bride's bouquet, the minister performed a touching and personal ceremony, the photographer got every shot we wanted and captured so many unexpected special moments, the food was amazing!!! and the caterers super friendly and helpful, the DJ was so nice, kept our guests dancing, and added our unique cake smash idea with comical flair. Cindi was kind eough to let us drop off decorations early since they had no other events that day...Imagine my surprise when my bridesmaids and I showed up an hour before the event, ready to take on the centerpieces and decorations....and everything was already set up and arranged even better than we ever could have done!
All of our guests are still raving about the views from the Sky and what a fun wedding it was. Everyone truly did everything they could to make our day special, and it turned out to be sooo much better than I ever imagined and a day we will never forget!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
