Stunning venue/ great value

The venue is absolutely beautiful and wonderfully maintained. The price is really unbelievable for such a stunning place. I would recommend Tessentee for any type of event. We are actually renting the mansion for my 40th birthday this summer! We are excited to enjoy it again

Wedding at Tessentee

Everything about our day was amazing! The views of the smoky mountains were beautiful! We loved flexibility for setup and taking down! Although it’s surrounded by mountains there was a perfect flat space in the field beside the barn to setup a tent. We had a 400+ person guest list and between the barn and the tent it accommodated everyone so well! This venue would be beautiful any season! It was so green and lush for our summer wedding.

There are 3 cabins and a house that sleeps around 20+ that are available to rent. They are located right beside the venue in walking distance. It’s such a perfect spot to relax and enjoy your day with your loved ones without a lot of hassle!

Highly recommend this stunning location - great experience!

We loved having our wedding at Tessentee Farm and Wedding and Event Center! Not only was everything well run and easy for us, but it was the most beautiful location - the hills, the trees, the stream running through the property, and the beautiful barn all made for a perfect day. What was even better was that my family was able to rent cabins on the property to stay in the night before and the night of to make everything seamless for our special day. Thank you Tessentee Farm!!
