    Fantastic venue

    The setting is breath taking. The iconic old bridge for wedding photos was outstanding! The ceremony by the creek outdoors with the wooden arbor was the prefect combination for a beautiful wedding. From start to finish the Smith event center staff was very attentive to our needs and made my daughters wedding one we will never forget! I would definitely recommend Smith Event Center to anyone!

    Smithview Pavilion's reply:

    Thanks very much for the kind words and the 5-Star Review. After such a crazy year in 2020 with the pandemic, we are so happy to be back doing weddings again this year. We were honored to host your daughter's wedding at Smithview!

    Great Venue!

    I loved working with Smith Event Centers. My specific wedding planner is no longer with this venue, but I had a great experience working with each person there. They were so helpful and encouraging. This venue was everything I had ever imagined for my wedding. I can't thank them enough!!

    Smithview Pavilion's reply:

    Thank you Kelsey for the great feedback. It's always nice to hear that our team is doing a good job! We try really hard to make certain to provide you with a good experience and it's definitely a team effort. Thank you again!!

    Couldn't Have Picked a Better Venue

    The venue was absolutely beautiful! The layout and decorations were stunning and had a very romantic look, and the bridal suite was gorgeous! There's a creek on the property right behind where the arbor is, they've got a beautiful patio with cafe lights, a fire pit, and so much more. The way everything was set up was perfect. The owner and coordinator were lovely to work with. They were flexible meeting with me and communicating with me, which I really appreciated. They were very accommodating and my wedding turned out to be my dream wedding. Our day ran smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing! We had a blast. Thanks, Smithview, for creating my dream wedding! :) I really couldn't have picked a better venue to get married at.

    Smithview Pavilion's reply:

    Thanks very much Ashley for sharing your experience with our team/staff and Smithview Pavilion. Your 5-star review and kind words mean everything to us!! So very happy your dream wedding day came true!

    Smithview Pavillion is a must!

    We toured Smithview Pavilion two weeks after our engagement. Lisa (the owner) was courteous to meet us on a weekend as our schedules didn’t allow to meet on a weekday. She was ready as soon as we arrived and greeted us with a welcoming smile. Lara (the coordinator/planner) was setting up for a wedding, and we briefly spoke. As soon as our detailed tour was complete I knew this was the place we were going to get married. Even through Covid, Lisa kept us updated and helped with any questions we had. They were gracious enough for our pups to come on the property for our day. Lara set up the reception and ceremony so beautifully, more than I could have dreamed of for our wedding. If anything went wrong, I had no idea because she was THAT on it. You cannot go wrong with Smithview. They genuinely CARE about you. You are not just a contract and a transaction to them. They know this is where your journey of marriage begins and make it so special. I can’t say enough beautiful things about this extraordinary venue. I’ve received at least 15-20 compliments on the ceremony, reception, and the flowers. You HAVE to use their florist. Bethany will make your dreams come true with her creativity. This company is just amazing. I wish we could do it all over again.

    Smithview Pavilion's reply:

    Thank you Kelly for your 5-star review! We are thrilled to read your words and are so glad everything turned out to be exactly what you had hoped for. We wish you all the best!!

    Amazing place and people

    The pavilion is gorgeous, as well as the grounds around it. They have a few options for ceremony sites, which is always nice! It could also match several wedding styles. Everyone who works there was so pleasant. I have nothing but good things to say. I highly recommend this venue! My wedding day was perfect!

    It was the wedding of my dreams!

    Lisa Gibson is a fantastic host. She made me feel so comfortable. She had great tips on what worked and what did not. I love the atmosphere at Smithview Pavilion. It is so beautiful and elegant. The bridal suite is the perfect place to be right before your big moment. It was the wedding of my dreams. Thank you so much!!

    Thank you so much Robin for taking the time to leave us a 5 star rating - it's much appreciated! All good wishes to you & Gary!

    Perfect venue for my daughter's wedding!

    Smithview was the perfect place for my daughter to have her wedding, actually two weddings. The first one was with ten people and the second one was the big ceremony and reception. Smithview was very accommodating with the COVID-19 situation. Beautiful venue and beautiful people - Smithview!

    Thank you Nancy! And thanks for sharing pics too. We are honored to be a part of Kayla & Robbie’s special memories!!

    Fantastic!

    We have nothing but great things to say about Smith Event Center. Every one we interacted with was super professional and venue is gorgeous. Lara Nuchols (wedding planner/coordinator) is fantastic and made our wedding day perfect. Great experience from start to finish and wonderful wedding day.

    Smithview Pavilion's reply:

    A big thank you for the 5-Star review and we are truly so grateful to have such fabulous clients to work with! From Lara and all of the other Smith Event Centers team, "congratulations!!"

    Rainy, October Wedding

    I could not be any happier with the Smithview Event Center staff, especially Lara (wedding planner/coordinator). We had to move our outdoor ceremony under the pavilion and it was seamless. Everything was gorgeous and I felt so at ease even when we found out about the weather changing the plans. I could not have dreamed of a better day and we had so much fun with our friends and family, all thanks to such a great venue and staff.

    Perfect Wedding at a Beautiful Venue

    I got married on 10/12/19 at the Smithview Pavilion and it was everything I had ever dreamed of. The venue is absolutely stunning. We had our ceremony in the small cove near the pavilion and it was so dreamy. From the little creek that runs around the property to the gorgeous altar handmade from trees, this location was a perfect fit for a nature-lover like me. Their wedding coordinator, Lara, went above and beyond for us and made our day so much more special. If you're looking for a reasonably priced venue that will wow your guests, I would highly recommend checking this place out!

    Smithview Pavilion's reply:

    Very happy to read your 5-star review! From our entire team at Smith Event Centers we congratulate you & Wes. All good wishes to you!!!!

    Amazing. Accommodating. Gorgeous.

    They were super accommodating. The wedding coordinator, Laura, was awesome. She helped make sure everything was set up and ready to go. She kept everybody on time which really helped the day go smoother.

    Great Experience

    Recently married at Smithview on May 4. It was a great experience from start to finish. All the girls were so helpful and the day off went off smoothly, even with the crazy weather. It is a beautiful venue. If you are looking for a beautiful outdoor venue this is the place!

    Great place to have your wedding.

    The venue is simply beautiful. Staff is wonderful- Especially Laura who was fantastic. Multiple places to exchange vows all great. Photos just give you an ideal of the size and privacy. Go there and check it out. I highly recommend this facility and staff (especially Laura).

    Amazing Venue!!

    Everyone was incredibly accommodating and easily accessible. As the first wedding of this season I was incredibly impressed with all of the updates that they made and the care that they took of the location prior to my wedding. Anything that I needed or wanted help with they were there - including during the wedding. I would recommend this venue to anyone! They also give the best flexibility I have seen among venues by allowing you to choose all of your own vendors.

    Amazing Packages-Amazing Location

    When it came down to making a decision Smithview was our top choice, until it became a very large wedding and my fear of rain. Lisa is amazing at her job and will help in anyway she can to make your day amazing! They offer packages that include everything to make it easy on you. The inside room that they had was too small for us, but the out door pavilion is gorgeous I was just terrified it would rain, I would recommend this to any East TN bride! it really is beautiful!!

    I worked one-on-one with Lara most of the time. She is phenomenal! My now husband and I live in a different state then where we were getting married, but Lara never made me feel like I needed to be there every spare moment to make sure things were in order. We paid the additional fee to have Lara coordinate day-of and set up all the decorations, and it was worth every penny! My friends and family all said how amazing the wedding was and I couldn't agree more. I would recommend Smithview Event Centers for any event, especially weddings.

    Smithview Pavilion's reply:

    Thanks Sheila for the kind words and your review of our services/venue. Lara is a big asset to our company and we are thrilled to hear directly from you that her assistance on the day of your wedding was helpful to you. All good wishes to you!!
