Swann Plantation is a Sevier County jewel with a lovely historical home, darling milking parlor reception area, outdoor ceremony location, and the soon to be completed barn. The horses and exquisite carriage would make any bride's entrance like a fairytale.

hands down the most spectacular wedding venue that i have ever seen. my wedding was around 200 people. we had the ceremony in the barn. they had never done a barn wedding, but i requested it and Shari made it happen. it was absolutely stunning. we had our reception in the milk parlor that spilled onto the patio with tables and chairs. shari was so flexible and accommodating, she truly made me feel like family during the whole planning process. the girls and i spent the entire day leading up to the wedding in the house getting ready. the antique and vintage furniture in the house really are just beautiful. the boys got ready in the guest house which is very quaint and adorable. the entire property has so much to offer, every time you go up there you will see something new or learn another bit of local history. there is so many places and sites on the property to have a wedding or even a party. they really put their heart and soul into this property. my daughter and i rode in their horse drawn carriage up to the barn, it was a show stopper. the owners are very understanding, my coordinators and photographers and vendors had no issues or problems. they run a tight ship, which i appreciate as a very stressed bride. there is ample parking, actually a trolley picked up and dropped off my guests from their vehicles to the ceremony and back. my day was magic because of the care this family put into it. they allowed me to have photo shoots on the property before and after the wedding day which is amazing. my only issue was that my day went by way too fast.

Before you decide on a wedding venue, you have to visit the Swann Plantation in Sevier County, TN! This was the most magical and perfect place for our daughter's wedding one week ago! We fell in love with it the first time we saw it. Shari and John, the owners, did everything possible to make sure our big day was perfect going well beyond our expectations. To see our daughter arrive in a horse drawn carriage was breath taking! There are so many areas to chose from to hold your wedding, rehearsal dinner, reception or any other event. We wanted for nothing! There is so much history there. Already miss them!

Breathtaking venue

Gorgeous venue, you feel like you are miles from the city! They are very accommodating and their love of their property shows. They are excited to have you there- easy to work with and know how to set up your special event. Our guests were in awe of the beauty. Thank you Marjorie, Lillian and Kibbe!
