Exchange vows beneath the trees in the wooded cove, a private, naturally beautiful setting that feels finished before a single flower is placed.

At Chestnut Springs
The kind of setting you never have to overdecorate. The property is yours for the day, so every part of your celebration has a natural place to happen.
Exchange vows beneath the trees in the wooded cove, a private, naturally beautiful setting that feels finished before a single flower is placed.

Celebrate beneath original timber beams, warm lights and chandeliers. Vaulted ceilings rise over dinner and dancing, and climate control keeps the room comfortable in every season.

End the evening outdoors beneath string lights and the Tennessee sky, with a stacked-stone fireplace anchoring the night.

If it rains, the ceremony moves inside the barn or beneath the covered pavilion. Weather never decides the day.

It starts with a Pinterest board. Then a spreadsheet. Then eight vendor quotes that don't match, a caterer who never calls back, and a florist who needs an answer by Friday. Before long, your mom is “just handling the tables,” your best friend is up a ladder hanging lights, and you're spending your engagement on hold instead of enjoying it.
Planning a Smoky Mountain destination wedding from out of town? Multiply all of that by a few hundred miles and a lot of guesswork.
At Chestnut Springs, one coordinator and one price replace all of it. Your food, bar, setup, design, and cleanup are handled by one team that knows this barn inside and out. You make a few happy decisions, and we take care of the rest.
What All-Inclusive Feels Like
It is finished. Tables set, the decor you chose placed where you wanted it, everything where it should be. You did not carry a thing.
The plates you chose come down the buffet, and the line stays staffed and restocked all evening. Nobody in your family gets up to tidy it.
It is dark by five and the barn is lit from the inside. A winter wedding turns out to be the warmest one there is.
We stay. The room comes down around us and none of it is your problem.
