Tori Sent on 09/28/2025Perfect Smoky Mountain Venue!
From the moment we stumbled onto this venue through an Instagram post, my wife and I knew that we wanted to get married at the Magnolia. The venue itself and the views of the Smoky Mountains are breath-taking, and our experience with the venue and staff was nothing short of exceptional. It was raining on and off for most of our wedding day and the staff made sure we were prepared for either an indoor or outdoor ceremony, right up to the last minute. During the months leading up to the wedding, Magnolia team members were available for conversations and questions and the whole team worked to make our experience top-notch. I would recommend this venue to just about anyone – you absolutely get your money’s worth, and I can guarantee you will make memories to last a lifetime.The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you Tori! We are so happy to hear how amazing your experience from. From communication throughout the planning process, to the flexibility and seamlessness on the wedding day. We strive to not only give our couples a beautiful setting, but a seamless and stress-free experience from start to finish. So glad you felt that! Thank you again for choosing The Magnolia! -

Mallory Sent on 03/11/2026The most amazing wedding venue!!!
We truly could not have asked for a better wedding venue and experience!! We booked our wedding two years in advance, and from the very beginning Macey was incredibly helpful, communicative, and kind. Throughout the entire planning process she was quick to respond, answered every question we had, and made us feel completely supported and confident in our decisions which was huge since we were coming from Florida!!
Our wedding day was smooth, thanks to the venues organization, strong team and attention to detail. Every single staff member was professional, warm, and clearly experienced, which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the day with our friends and family!
We are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day truly perfect. If you’re looking for a venue with an amazing team that genuinely cares about your experience, we cannot recommend The Magnolia Venue enough!!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you so much Mallory! We are so happy to hear how much you enjoyed your big day here with us - we are so grateful you chose The Magnolia all the way from Florida! We know our destination couples travel from far and wide and we strive to provide a seamless experience from start to finish and are so glad you felt that on your end! Thank you again for trusting us with your special day. Wishing you and Trey nothing but the best in this next chapter! -

Jenny Sent on 09/14/2025Perfect Venue for an Adventurous Kind of Love
How to start/where to start? Well, from the very beginning. At our engagement party, someone in passing had mentioned the Smoky Mountains as a great place to celebrate an Adventurous Kind of Love. I (the Bride) began to research the area, and I instantly fell in love with the area of Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg. How had I not been here before?!?
I booked a range of venues to tour, but one stood out beyond all the rest, not only did this venue meet all of our needs for our wedding, but the breathe-taking views swept us off our feet. The Magnolia was love at first sight. Upon touring, we knew instantly that this is where we would celebrate our Adventurous Kind of Love. Following our tour, we knew we had to secure our spot.
Macey was EXCELLENT with communication from start to finish. We cannot thank her enough for being incredibly easy to work with. She promotes the fairy-tale and ensures the couple feels special during their time to shine. After 14 wonderful years together, we knew that when we decided to officially tie the knot, we wanted a venue that was nothing less than epic. Macey, Rene, and the team at the Magnolia were just that EPIC.
Our guest, and our wedding party have RAVED about our venue. The day of our wedding, 08.31.25, Rene was on sight with us, and was an excellent captain to steer our ship. She was bubbly, detail oriented, and kept cool as a cucumber (whereas the Bride and Groom were not).
My husband and I are eternally grateful to the Magnolia. It is where we share some of our fondest memories together, and with our family & friends. We will never forget our magical time spent at the Magnolia, nor the special people behind the scenes that made it all come together.
11/10 would recommend 🤩The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you Jenny, you are so sweet!! We appreciate your kind words and taking the time to leave such an amazing review. We couldn't be happier that you chose The Magnolia. What a beautiful celebration!! -

The Best Venue!
Words and photos cannot adequately describe how beautiful this venue is. We had some rain during our wedding on 4/22/25, and even with the clouds and fog, the views were absolutely stunning. I had many people come up to me saying this was the most beautiful wedding they have been to. Macey has been so kind and quick to respond throughout the wedding process, and we are extremely satisfied with our experience. We truly had the best day ever!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you so much Teresa - you are so sweet! We loved getting to celebrate with you all and were so happy to be part of your beautiful day! Wishing you and William all the best in this new exciting chapter together! -

Samantha Sent on 01/20/2025Perfect Winter Wedding
The Magnolia was the perfect setting for our wedding! All the planning was so easy, especially being out of state. We really lucked out finding a venue that had open vendors, could provide our own alcohol, and have our fur babies with us! We had a winter wedding and were assured that they never had to cancel a wedding due to snow and ice before which put us at ease and we certainly lucked out with a perfect day on 12/30! We were also able to get an suv sized trailer up the mountain if you are thinking of bringing lots of decor. All of our guests were in awe with the space and haven't stopped talking about it!

Thank you so much for your kind words about The Magnolia! We are so happy that it was the perfect location for your big day and that planning from out of state was so easy on you!

Wishing you and Colton nothing but the best in this next chapter together. Thank you again for choosing The Magnolia for your wedding! -

Married in the Mountains
We are from Indiana but love to travel to Tennessee. Our expected wedding date was in November (we booked November 23, 2024.) While venue shopping, we discovered The Magnolia and fell in love. We did our research on other venues, but nothing measured up, not only to the view, but the guidance required for a traveling wedding party and guests. They checked all of the boxes for vendor recommendations, travel accommodations, and all things wedding. We have received nothing but compliments on every aspect of our day and it all started with an email to Macey. We are so happy with your venue and our choice. We wouldn’t have had it any other way. To those engaged and venue shopping, this is your spot. I’ll save you the months of research and just tell you now, book it, you won’t regret it. -

Our wedding at The Magnolia Venue in Pigeon Forge was truly unforgettable. The breathtaking mountain views created the most magical backdrop for our special day, and the setting was even more beautiful than we imagined. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, accommodating every request with professionalism and kindness. From the stunning venue design to the flawless coordination, we felt completely taken care of.

April Sent on 07/01/2024Best Day Ever!
We came across The Magnolia while researching venues in Tennessee for our destination wedding, and after speaking with Macey we booked it without hesitation and without even seeing it in person. We can honestly say it was by far the best decision we made! The space is laid out perfectly, with covered/uncovered and indoor/outdoor options, and the views are truly unmatched! Macey was kind, professional, and quick to respond. She provided recommendations for everything from vendors to lodging, which was extremely helpful. The Magnolia will forever hold a very special place in our hearts. Thank you!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you April, for such a kind and thoughtful review! We are so happy you chose The Magnolia for your wedding day. We LOVED getting to celebrate with you all. I'm so glad to hear how perfect the venue layout was and that you had a great experience with our team and vendors!

The Magnolia Venue was awesome. The team there made sure you had everything you needed and would respond to any questions you had quickly. We had no issues with the venue at all. It is more breathtaking in person than any picture could describe as well. The bridal suite was just what you need for the morning of.

Linda Sent on 03/21/2024
Get married here
The Magnolia was an absolutely stunning location to get married and all of our guests loved it here! My fiancée and I got married here on March 16th and it was everything we could have dreamed of. The bridal suite was the perfect size for me and my 5 bridesmaids and MOG and MOB to get ready in. The view is stunning and definitely use the shuttle company they are partnered with to get your guests to and from the venue because the road to get up there is steep and has lots of twists and turns!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you so much Linda! We are so grateful for you and for choosing The Magnolia to host such a special day in your lives. It's always great to hear from our couples and hear how amazing you found everything to be! We enjoy having the girls onsite all day relaxing in the bridal suite while they get ready so we're glad you found it to be so perfect. We do love partnering with Elite for our complimentary shuttle service, so many of our couples and their guests travel from out of state and it's so nice to be able to provide everyone with easy transportation for the big day! Thank you again, wishing you and Nick all the very best together. -

![Jennifer]()
Jennifer Sent on 02/09/2024Best Venue EVER!
We decided to have a destination at The Magnolia without ever having seen the venue in person. Macey and the team at the Magnolia, will set you up for success from start to finish. The booking process was so easy, from seeing calendar date availability, pricing and general info, once we were about ready to book we jumped on a quick call with Macey, which solidified any remaining questions we had. We chose to book the venue then all of our vendors which made our process super smooth since there is a preferred vendor list that we were able to work from. The Magnolia team sent helpful messages along the way continually checking in to see how planning was going. Come the day of our rehearsal getting to see the venue in person, pictures don’t do it justice. It was absolutely breathtaking! The view is absolutely exceptional, and the photos we got from our wedding are just to die for! Our vendor team and venue coordinator on the day of our wedding kept everything flowing so smoothly! Hands down if I got to plan and do our wedding all over again I would choose the Magnolia in a heartbeat!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you Jennifer, you are so sweet! It was an absolute joy working with you in planning your wedding day. We are so happy to hear how amazing your experience was from start to finish, it meant the world to share our special mountaintop with you! Wishing you both all the very best as you start this new chapter together! Hugs! -

I literally could not have imagined a better wedding venue! From my first contact with Macey, I was impressed with her attention to detail and friendliness. Our guests are still RAVING about the views and gorgeous atmosphere. The bridal suite is perfect for getting ready. The shuttle service is impeccable. Every single vendor recommendation was spot-on and we felt the Magnolia made planning a wedding from afar as seamless as possible. Literally can't even put into words how perfect everything was! 10 out of 10! -John & Kimberly CareyThe Magnolia Venue's reply:

Wonderful venue start to finish
The Magnolia team is so attentive from start to finish. Not only do they respond quickly, they reach out regularly throughout the planning process to offer their suggestions and help you make sure you're on tack with the planning process. The venue is hard to access so they have lists for recommended vendors that have worked there before. They really do everything to ensure your day will go smoothly. It was more beautiful in person than in photos and I cant imaging getting married anywhere else in the Smokey Mountains. Highly recommendThe Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you so much Mary! It brings us so much joy to share our mountaintop with amazing couples and are so happy to hear how great your experience was from start to finish. Such a beautiful day and we are so grateful you trusted us. Thank you again! -

Absolutely amazing to work with. Kind, helpful, all of the above!!
My husband and I live in Florida, but we are mountain lovers through and through. Finding this venue in one of our favorite locations was a dream. Working with the Magnolia was easy and smooth. Communication was fast, purposeful, and clear. Macey is very easy to work with, and one can see her love for helping others.

Francesca Sent on 05/06/2023Great location for a wedding
We had our destination wedding at the Magnolia on 04/24/23. The location was very intimate and perfect for our smaller wedding of 55 guests. We were blessed with a beautiful, clear spring day (although we would have been just as happy with some “smoke” on the mountains!). The views were so beautiful, especially around sunset. We could tell our guests loved the location and received so many compliments afterwards on the venue. We worked with Macey leading up to the event and Elizabeth was there on the day of. Both were very professional to work with. Thank you to the Magnolia team! - Fran and Doug FloydThe Magnolia Venue's reply:

The Magnolia Venue was everything from the gorgeous mountain ranges to the most incredible staff. When you book here you are the focus for your day. They really make you feel special. The staff are amazing. Macey was so kind and sweet! She really goes the extra mile! You’ll get losing recommendations and vendor recommendations which is also very helpful. She responds very and keeps you updated on things you need as your day gets closer. If the view hasn’t convinced you enough then I highly recommend seeing this spectacular mountain wedding venue!

![Sarah]()
Sarah Sent on 04/10/2023Beautiful no matter what
The Magnolia is a wonderful place for your wedding. Macey and the staff are wonderful, kind, and very helpful. Macey was always very responsive whenever we had questions. We primarily used vendors recommended by the venue and had very positive experiences. The venue is more gorgeous than pictures can even show. We had a rainy and cloudy day, and it was still beautiful. One aspect I loved about the Magnolia is not having to spend a lot of time and money on decor because the venue itself and the views make enough of an impact. The bridal suite was lovely and had a mini fridge and plenty of space to get ready. While the drive up to the venue was a bit scary, our guests had a great experience with the shuttle service the Magnolia provided. My family stayed at the Breathtaker cabin, which I highly recommend if it’s available. It made the weekend that much easier. I highly recommend the Magnolia for your wedding! You will not regret it.
The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you so much Sarah, we are so grateful you trusted us with such a special day! It makes us so happy to hear how amazing your experience was with the venue and all of your vendors. It's so important to us that we connect our couples with amazing vendors who can bring their wedding day to life. Thank you again! -

Brooke Sent on 03/20/2023
Effortless
The magnolia is absolutely beautiful!! We are from Michigan and wanted a destination wedding that our family could drive to. We had about 95 guest not including ourselves. I was worried it would be cramped but it was perfect! We did not look at the venue before booking it, so when we showed up it was smaller than we thought but everyone fit flawlessly. We had plenty of room for seating during the ceremony. It was about 42 degrees the day of our wedding so the bar had to be inside witch worked out fine, we broke a couple tables down so we could dance inside and we had a blast. The view was absolutely amazing and we would highly recommend booking if you are considering the magnolia. Not to mention the response time from Macy and the team is super quick. So any questions we had or worries we had she was quick to respond and ease our mind!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you Brooke for sharing your review with us! We are so happy to hear how amazing everything was for your destination wedding. We absolutely love sharing this special place with so many couples traveling to us from out of state. Thank you again for choosing The Magnolia! -

How can you not choose this venue? Being an out of state bride, the venue made it so easy. None of our guests were from TN either and the venue provided so many assets in our planning to put everyone at ease. The views, the facilities & the staff are all top notch! If you're looking for an intimate wedding that will be a show stopper for your guests - the Magnolia is you venue!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you Jillian, you are TOO sweet! We are so happy to hear how easy everything was on you guys. We so often host destination couples and not only want to provide a beautiful location to get married, but make it a fun and enjoyable process! Thank you again, we loved celebrating you! -

Unforgettable Venue w/ Incredible Views
It is hard to put into words the amazing, unforgettable, and one of a kind experience my husband and I had with The Magnolia. As an out of state/destination Bride, the pictures on the websites and reviews cannot even begin to describe the beauty of this venue. It absolutely took my husband's and my breaths away when we saw our dreams coming to life. From the first inquiry we made, to the best vendors we could have asked for, to the incredible views, to our final dance, The Magnolia never disappointed. Macey was always quick to respond to even the most simple questions I had. We couldn't have imagined our wedding anywhere else!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you Haley! We are beyond grateful that you trusted the Magnolia with your special day. We are so happy to have been part of your celebration and that everything was so perfect for you!

Absolutely Perfect
Perfection. The Magnolia was the perfect wedding venue for us. The Magnolia team was wonderful from beginning to end. They were accommodating and easy to communicate with. The venue was perfect the day of. With the bridal suite on site, myself and my girls were able to get ready on site and enjoy the wonderful views all day. Our wedding was a destination wedding (as it sounds like most are at The Magnolia) and they had preferred vendor lists that made everything so easy for planning a destination wedding. They have vetted vendors that are familiar with the venue and work SO well together. The pictures are amazing but it really does not even do the venue justice. It is even more glorious in person.The Magnolia Venue's reply:

If you are looking to get married in the mountains this is the DREAMIEST venue and backdrop. Ever since I first saw The Magnolia online after getting engaged I knew this would be the perfect destination for our smaller sized wedding.

Ultimate Destination Wedding - BOOK NOW
WOW - we could not have had a better experience for our wedding than we did at the Magnolia. The grounds and the views are absolutely breathtaking. We developed pretty high expectations once we started following the venue on social media as we were blown away by all of the posts - yet in person, everything still exceeded all of our expectations. We were nervous to have 95 guests travel all the way to TN from Upstate NY, and the venue was absolutely worth the trip. I do not use the word "magical" ever, but the Magnolia is magical. lol Macey and her team were highly responsive and made the wedding planning process easy. Between her list of vendor recommendations and seeing tagged vendors on instagram posts, it was a quick and seamless process of booking vendors. My bridesmaids and me had such special and fun experience getting ready in the bridal suite with panoramic views of the mountains. It's been about 5 months since our wedding and our guests continue to tell us what a intimate, memorable, gorgeous and unique experience it was. I loved that we were able to customize many elements of our big day and our pictures are spectacular. It was a day we will never forget, and the venue + staff were such a large part of that. We are so grateful to have found this destination. THANK YOU Macey and teamThe Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you so much Liz, you are so sweet! We absolutely loved having the chance to host your beautiful wedding day up at the Magnolia. It is so fun having destination couples come in and enjoy our mountaintop with their closest friends and family. Thank you for trusting us with such a special day! -

Christen Sent on 01/13/2022I’m Blessed to Have Worked with This Company
Weddings are stressful.
Even with a wedding planner, supportive bridesmaids, helpful parents, and a year to work on planning, they can still be stressful.
However, my experience as a new bride was so much easier than most, thanks to the management and staff at the Magnolia Venue.
I was given recommendations on vendors, a planner, and I was given guidelines that I didn’t even think of, when I first thought about planning a wedding. Everything was so organized, and I was never left guessing.
What’s most important to me, is communication. We had a destination wedding, so for the entire year, I didn’t even see the venue in person. The first time I saw it was the day before the wedding at rehearsal. So it was already worrisome for me, as a bride, because I wanted to be there to see everything come together.
But thankfully, the vendors recommended by the Magnolia are extremely professional, creative, and very good at understanding what a bride wants when even the bride isn’t sure.
When I went to the Magnolia on my wedding day, everything from the placement of the tables to then colors of the napkins, to the hundreds of candles lighting the reception hall was exactly as I imagined it. It was a dream that became reality, and every day since the wedding, I think about how I wish I could relive it again and again.
Thank you, Magnolia Venue, for doing all that you’ve done. I’m the happiest newlywed bride, and my family is too!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you so much Christen! We appreciate your kind words about the Magnolia and your experience with us. It is so important that we not only provide our couples with a beautiful space, but also make your entire wedding experience amazing! We are so grateful to have been able to host your wedding day and share in such a special celebration with you and your entire family!

The Magnolia team went above and beyond to make my day so special and stress-free. The views are breathtaking...pictures can't do it justice. Macey and team were so helpful and responsive, and their vendor recommendations were all fantastic as well. The bridal suite was so beautiful, I loved getting ready here with my girls and the sweet card and bottle of champagne were much appreciated, as were the snacks! From dinner in the open-air hall to dancing under the stars, we had SO much fun. We loved our day at The Magnolia, and hope some friends or family get married here some day in the future so we have an excuse to come back!! Thank you so much! - Love, Ken & CatherineThe Magnolia Venue's reply:

Michelle Sent on 08/09/2021Breathtaking venue
This 5 start review is solely a review about Macey & The Magnolia, as a venue. We had a very bad experience with the recommended planner -Elite Event Services with Kristina & Tony. There’s a reason they are the cheapest one on the list of recommended planners. And youuu might say “well you get what you pay for, but in this situation, we didn’t even get what we paid for! Pay extra and go with one of the other planners Macey/The Magnolia recommends.
That being said, the venue is breathtaking and we wouldn’t have had our wedding anywhere else. Macey/The Magnolia also sent us a very nice personalized gift after the wedding. They were a true joy to work with. Really bummed Elite Event Services turned out to be such a disappointment, but hey…the venue is what everyone remembers from our wedding -just how we wanted it!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you Michelle for your kind words about the Magnolia! We absolutely loved hosting your wedding day and were so grateful to be a part of such a meaningful and special day for you and Andrew. We do hate to hear that you were disappointed with the services of Elite. We want all of our couples to have amazing experiences with all of our vendors so please know we have discussed your concerns with Kristina and Tony. They appreciate your feedback and have relayed to us that they have taken steps to increase staff and improve their communication systems. We are so happy for you and Andrew and hope the Magnolia will leave you with many lasting memories for years to come! -

Danison Sent on 05/10/2021Couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue!
The Magnolia team has been nothing but amazing from the first day of our inquiry. We are from out of state in Florida, and we were hesitant to try to pick a venue in Tennessee because of some horror stories from friends who had destination weddings. Alas, our fears came and went in an instant when meeting their team. The moment we stepped onto the venue grounds, we fell even more in love. We love the openness of the hall, the included shuttle service, and the covered patio. Most importantly, the views are to die for and make for great photos and video! Our wedding date happened right when Covid hit, so the big ceremony we envisioned had to be canceled. Fortunately, the venue was more than open to leting us have a private ceremony on the patio. They were just as kind to work with us in rescheduling our reception TWICE! We finally had our planned reception a year later, and it was worth the wait to see our guests fall in love with the venue just as we did. Honestly, we could not have picked a more perfect venue, and we are so blessed to have the Magnolia and team as a part of our love story.The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you so much Danison, for such a sweet and thoughtful review! We are SO very grateful we had the chance to host such a special day for you and Joshua.

We could not have selected a better venue. From the process of inquiring about the venue to the day of the wedding, The Magnolia was responsive and so easy to work with. The backdrop for the entire day was just breathtaking. The Magnolia also gives you tons of information on local vendors, local lodging for your guest, and a shuttle that comes with the venue package. Because of all their recommendations and quick responses, I never felt stressed during the planning process. If you want a venue with a stunning view that makes the planning process simple, look no further!The Magnolia Venue's reply:

The Magnolia Venue is more than you could ever even dream of!
As two avid lovers of the Smoky Mountains, my husband and I had our hearts set on getting married in Tennnessee. We live 8 hours away so I really struggled with debating on having a wedding close home or a destination. When I came across The Magnolia Venue, it was game over from there! With being 8 hours away I was a little hesitant on how smoothly things would go. However, they did NOT disappoint! We never once toured the venue or seen it in person before our wedding day and wow, totally recommend! You think it’s beautiful in pictures? It’s ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING seeing it in person! I never once stopped smiling from the minute my girls & I arrived on the property until my husband and I left that night. The Magnolia Venue are the sweetest, most accommodating people you could ever choose to work with. If you have came across this review trying to decide on a venue, this is me telling you right now to stop reading and BOOK!! You will never for a second ever regret it!! This is literally heaven on earth and it makes for the most beautiful videos and photos you could ever ask for on your wedding day. The Magnolia Venue made our wedding day more than I could have ever dreamed of!The Magnolia Venue's reply:

Cecily Sent on 12/20/2020Amazing views, incredibly beautiful
I hosted my destination wedding At the Magnolia Venue on 12/11/2020 and it was more beautiful than I could’ve ever imagined! I was lucky and got a 65 degree day in December, but it really wouldn’t have mattered. The place is stunning— even in December. We dressed the large hall up with classy Christmas decor and the reception was so elegant and perfect. The outdoor area was perfect for my 75 guests and we did a candlelit sunset ceremony. We actually served a plated meal and had a strong trio and then live band for the reception. We turned the ceremony area into a fire pit and space heater outdoor area with coffee and hot chocolate.
My experience with Macey, the coordinator, was so positive. She was extremely professional and responsive and walked me through every detail up until the Wedding Day. Everything went so smoothly because she works closely with the wedding coordinator. I basically just showed up and had a fairy tale wedding.
This place is magical and I will forever have a special place in my heart for The Magnolia.The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you Cecily for this incredibly heartwarming review. We are so grateful you and Kevin chose The Magnolia to host your wedding day. It was such a pleasure having you all celebrate with us for a beautiful winter wedding!

Beautiful venue and great people!
The Magnolia Venue is the perfect place for a Smoky Mountain wedding. The venue itself is beautiful and the views are spectacular. I recently got married at the Magnolia on December 4th, 2020 and everything was perfect, even with rain in the forecast. The venue is very versatile and prepared for inclement weather. We were hoping to have our ceremony outside on the patio, but the rain wouldn't allow for that. We were able to adjust and have the ceremony still outside on the covered patio with the reception inside after. Leading up to the wedding, Macey the venue manager checked in with us many times. She sent over helpful information regarding the marriage license process, final venue reminders, and was always available if we needed to contact her. Marlie was our venue contact that was on-site for the day of the wedding and she did an awesome job getting the bridal suite ready as well as cleaning up around the venue. I highly suggest The Magnolia Venue for any event that you might have in mind. Macey is great and willing to answer any questions that you might have. The pictures are gorgeous, but in person the venue and views are breathtaking. We had a wonderful experience with The Magnolia Venue for our wedding!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you so much Katelyn! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review of your wedding with us!

As a 2020 COVID bride, I couldn't be more grateful to the Magnolia staff for making our (crazy, ever-changing, last-minute) wedding a total dream. As an out-of-town bride, the first time I saw the property was the rehearsal the night before. This would normally freak me out, but Macey answered every question and call throughout the whole (shortened) process, and was always willing to make our crazy ideas work. The space was beautiful, and even though it rained day-of, everyone sprung into action to move all our decor to the cocktail area and create a ceremony space that was more perfect than could I imagine. You are in the best hands with Magnolia!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you Allie, you are so sweet! Even with the rain, it was such a beautiful day filled with so much love! We are so grateful we had the chance to host you all. We appreciate your confidence and trust during such a crazy time and are so happy for you and Joseph! -

The Magnolia was the absolute perfect place to have our wedding. The view and the venue were like a fairytale. Any cost is well worth having such an incredible view on your wedding day. When we first toured it, we were skeptical about driving guests up the mountain, but the shuttle made it incredibly easy. All of the vendors we worked with, most recommended by The Magnolia, were incredible and also made our day a dream come true. We stayed at the cabin right next to the venue, which made all of the day of logistics incredibly easy, and it was convenient for our wedding party to stay there with us. If you book The Magnolia, I highly recommend booking that cabin around the same time! We wanted a classic and relaxed wedding, and The Magnolia was exactly what we hoped it would be. Everyone we worked with was helpful and responsive, making our day perfect. Can’t say enough great things about The Magnolia!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you so much Logan for such a thoughtful review. We are just so lucky to be able to work with such amazing couples like you. Thank you for trusting us to play a part in your special day, we are so grateful! All the very best to you and Jacob! -

Macey was a delight to work with.
She answered all the questions we had in such a short turn around time. She got us all the information requested in regards to their trusted vendor recommendations, TN marriage license info, and liability insurance. She went above and beyond to make our 42 day turn around timeframe to be executed flawlessly.
She and her Mom (the owners of this venue) traveled into town to see our wedding and meet us. They made us feel confident in their staff and like we were family. We could not recommend a better place to get married. If heaven were a place on Earth - this would be the place and they would be the gate keepers. Every moment was so magical.

A Wedding Miracle
The Magnolia saved our wedding! My fiancé and I were originally set to have our wedding in California, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, this was no longer possible. We decided to move to Tennessee just five weeks before the wedding date, and were desperately looking for a venue that would be a) beautiful and natural-feeling, b) flexible and ready to help us put something together fast, and c) affordable given that we lost a huge deposit for the California venue. We got this and so much more. Macey, the owner of the Magnolia, immediately set us up with some star wedding coordinators (Elite Wedding Planning) and proved to be exceptionally flexible, friendly, and open. The venue itself was even better than our original venue--it is truly secluded and gorgeous, overlooking the impossibly green Smoky Mountains. The interior is both elegant and befitting the mountainous surroundings. The Magnolia features a beautiful getting-ready suite for the bride, which was a perfect place for my friends and I to hang out and pamper ourselves before the wedding. They also added in a lovely stone pathway that leads to a forested area, ideal for photos. All-in-all, moving the wedding to the Magnolia ended up costing less than if we had kept our original California venue, even though we forfeited a significant deposit. I could not be happier with the perfect day we had there, as well as the friendliness and personability of everyone who worked with us! I HIGHLY recommend the Magnolia, especially for nature-lovers. If you do choose this venue, I also highly recommend Elite Wedding Planning as a wedding coordinator. I'm sure all the wedding coordinators are great, but Elite really went above and beyond to make our day special.The Magnolia Venue's reply:

![Marylynne]()
Marylynne Sent on 02/20/2020Quite possibly the best investment I made in my wedding!!!
After planning a destination wedding for 15 months, and working with Millicent, Dean, and the whole Magnolia team there is so much I can say about how happy I am I chose the Magnolia for our wedding, and I know I'll never cover it all but let me try.
From day one Millicent and Dean, and the whole team honestly, have gone out of their way to make our experience as perfect as possible. It started with them scheduling us in last minute while we were in town for a spur of the moment trip, and getting someone there to show us around and tell us all about what an experience with the magnolia would be like. Of course, the moment I saw the view my heart skipped a beat and I knew this was our venue, but it only got better as I learned more.
Then they went out of the way getting their Sergio, or as we affectionately come to call him Uncle Sergio, to meet us with his truck to bring us up to the venue to show our kids when we were up for Christmas vacation. At the time my daughters wheelchair accessible van was having some issued we needed to fix and couldn't bring it up to the venue. So Millicent and Dean scheduled us with Sergio to meet and he brought us up in his truck and we just used a manual wheelchair to get her around. Jeremy and I have been together for 14 years. We have put off our wedding for all that time because we have a medically fragile child. Sharing that moment on our Christmas vacation with our children couldn't have been more perfect!
A few months into planning I had a mishap with my planner and had to let her go. I reached out to Millicent and Dean in a panic to see if they could give any input on good planners. Not only did they help me with more recommendations for planners, but they also went out of their way to do things that I believe they didn't need to do to make my situation right again!
We went through a couple property managers during my planning time and they did so seamlessly! Everyone who works with the Magnolia has gone above and beyond from day one, and I couldn't be happier.
The day of my wedding we had a little mishap. It was raining that morning and stopped right before we left t head up, and it was very windy so tons of pine needles had fallen back down even though they just blew off the driveway couple days before. Also, I live in Louisiana... I only know how to drive on flat land. haha! But my vehicle with my bridal party and mom wouldn't make it up the mountain. This is something that could have ruined my day, and i did start panicking because I was scared I wouldn't get my daughter and her wheelchair up to the venue. I wasn't thinking straight in the moment and didn't think to call Millicent, but one of my vendors did. Not a minute after I parked I swear it was like all of Pigeon Forge stopped and made sure I made it up there! lol Within not even 5 minutes I got a call from Millicent, Dean, the property manager, and Sergio, and they had two more options heading to me to get me up there! They are prepared for these situations! Let me add we have been up about 6-7 times since starting to plan and they work hard to keep the driveway its best and to keep improving it. Not once, even when I started to panic, did I think I should have never booked my wedding here. Even now, almost 3 months later do I feel like that. This was the best day of my life!
I'm a HUGE animal lover, and I'd seen on social media that a bride had a bear show up during their day. I told everyone from that moment on I wanted a bear too. Well I had a raccoon and 4 BEARS at ours! They stayed a safe distance away, but I say this to explain how prepared everyone was for it, they didn't. When we realized they were there everyone from the planner to the venue was ready. We got to see them, and then they went on their merry way. For some of our guests this was their first time witnessing that and it was great!
As for the location... I mean come on! Look at the view! The Magnolia was PERFECT for our intimate wedding. I believe it said that it holds up to 100 people, but we had 20. I almost didn't go see it because the pictures makes it look bigger than it is. Don't get me wrong.. It can totally accommodate 100 and its wide open enough where you wouldn't feel crowded, but for my small wedding it was perfect too. The venue didn't seem so big it takes away from the intimacy we were going for with our village. The bridal suite was more than enough to accommodate us. That was the best morning just relaxing with my closest people, sipping mimosas, getting make overs, and looking at the beautiful mountains. If it wouldn't be fore the stress of planning all we did I wish I could get married every year just so we can be with the people we love at the Magnolia!
Everyone at the Magnolia brings an impeccable level of professionalism, but not to the point of being stuffy. I felt like I was planning all of this with a friend, and they always made me feel like the only woman in the world and no day was more important that mine. How they give everyone this is beyond me, but they do! I totally miss working with them, and our phone meetings that ended up conversations with a friend! Huge thank you to everyone at the Magnolia the day we waited 14 years for couldn't have been more perfect thanks to ya'll!The Magnolia Venue's reply:

Jade Sent on 08/15/2019Beyond words, I'm blown away.
Despite our challenging circumstances, Millicent and the Magnolia team were supportive and willing to go to extreme lengths for our satisfaction. This wedding venue and the people there are beyond business owners, they are truly angels. This is, by far, the best choice venue in the area.
I highly recommend.The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Jade, thank you so much for your kind words. We enjoyed working with you and are wishing you all the best! -

If you want people to ooh and aah when they see pictures from your wedding day, book The Magnolia! When my fiancé (prior to our wedding of course) and I were looking for a wedding venue the only things we were sure of was that we wanted it to be in the mountains. We're located in Delaware and we were considering a destinations in 1) Pocono's, Pennsylvania 2) Tennessee Smoky Mountains or 3) Colorado Rocky Mountains .. Since 99% of our families live along the East coast we decided that Colorado was out because everyone would have to fly and we wanted to cut costs for guests. The Pocono's would have been closest for us but none of the venues stuck out to me. I wanted that breath taking mountain top view and it was so costly for very little. So I started looking in Tennessee .. & then there she was .. I clicked on The Magnolia and my jaw about dropped. I contacted them immediately because I could not stop watching the video of the venue. I was hooked. Comparing pricing in Pocono, PA vs this breathtaking, one of a kind venues in Pigeon Forge .. there was no question about it .. we HAD to get married at The Magnolia! Tennessee would be the best option because it required almost nobody to fly & Pocono venues seemed unbelievably expensive in comparison for the venue views alone. The owners are magnificently sweet. I actually got to meet them the night before the wedding while we were staying at the cabin directly next to the venue (which I undoubtedly recommend you stay at if you get married here. It is called The Breath taker and you have the same views of the venue while you're in your cabin! It's in walking distance to The Magnolia!) Anyways the night before the wedding some of my bridesmaids and I walked down to watch the sunset and the owners happened to be there checking on the venue and we got to chat for a little bit, they were asking how planning was going, asking how excited we were! Seriously such nice people! Mrs. Murphy checked on me multiple times during the year of planning as well. There isn't one negative thing that I can say about these amazing people and their stunning wedding venue. Our day was beyond amazing and people will not stop raving about our wedding pictures and asking where this venue is located! Get married here, you will not regret itThe Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you Kristen for your many kind words and for sharing your beautiful pictures with us. We loved being a part of your special day! -

The Magnolia is truly a hidden gem amongst the Smoky Mountains. No matter what style of wedding you envision, the Magnolia can make it happen. Besides the breathtaking views, the venue itself is pristine inside and out. One of my favorite features is the bridal suite. It was so convenient being right on site! We are absolutely blown away with our experience at the Magnolia, and we cannot thank everyone enough for helping make our wedding more magical and beautiful than we could have ever imagined!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Jenny, you guys we're such a pleasure Thank you for allowing us to be apart of your big day and thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures!

The Magnolia is everything a Bride could want and more!
I cannot say enough about how amazing our experience was with The Magnolia! I was not sure how planning my wedding would go being out of state, but Millicent made it a breeze! Any time I had a question or a concern, Millicent was extremely responsive and helped me with whatever I needed. My wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to the dedication of the direct staff at The Magnolia. The view from the venue is breathtaking, but equally so is the support and dedication to make your dream wedding come true!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you so much Nicole for your sweet words. We loved getting to know you both and being a part of your special day! We are so happy you chose The Magnolia. -

Picture perfect venue!
My husband and I are from Boston and were set on having a destination wedding. With a strike of luck, we found the Magnolia Venue and took a road trip last November. We fell in love with the view, and immediately decided that this is where we would get married. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect; the bridal suite was the most gorgeous setting for getting ready with my bridesmaids; the wooded area behind the Magnolia was a simply beautiful location for first look pictures, and the mountain views were the most stunning backdrop for our ceremony! We couldn't have imagined a more beautiful and PERFECT day!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Laura thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing The Magnolia! We are so happy to hear your day was beautiful and perfect we love being able to share this special spot with our awesome couples! -

Breathtaking!
I found the magnolia last December on a wedding app, it was the 3rd one I came across and I KNEW it was my venue! I was ready to book it without seeing it in person, we live in Ohio, but my fiancé wanted to see it. So we traveled to Tennessee and of course it was absolutely beautiful. The view is breathtaking. The venue was easy to communicate with, and even provided me and my bridesmaids with lunch the day of! I can’t say enough good things about this place.The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Thank you so much Julie for the wonderful compliments and for choosing The Magnolia for your special day! -

I did a destination wedding and this venue allowed me to fit my 100 guests, has a beautiful view of the smokies, a lot of accommodations within 10 miles for all of my guests, the perfect bridal suite for for the cutest pictures, a dance floor under the stars and access to open and close the venue for any type of weather. There is even a beautiful, private spot for a first look! It was my perfect day! And a day many won’t forget!The Magnolia Venue's reply:

There are no words for this venue. It is a little slice of heaven nestled on the top of a gorgeous mountain. Our wedding was an absolute dream. The venue is pristine and nothing compares. Millicent (the owner) was nothing short of amazing and helpful and she brought us to our wedding planner who was an absolute angel. All of my wedding dreams came true on November 3, 2018. I am overjoyed and couldn’t be more thankful that we found this venue and their people!The Magnolia Venue's reply:
Maureen thank you so much for allowing us to fulfill your wedding day dreams. You were such a pleasure to work with, and we so appreciate your kind words!
