Where do I begin- my husband and I got married at the Barn Event Center of the Smokies on 9/17/22 and everything was excecutef and communicated flawlessly by the entire staff. We had a destination wedding with about 85 guests and Lisa, the day of planner, was easily accessible to answer all of my questions throughout the entire planning process! She was literally AMAZING! The staff was super flexible to push back dinner when we decided to go out for some sunset pictures with a mountain backdrop. I got so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how great service and staff was. Literally- someone went up to my step mom to say that the toilet handle was broken in the middle of the reception and Lisa already had someone in there fixing it. There were also staff members graciously cleaning up spills with mops on the dance floor in between songs so we could keep dancing the night away. Andrea, who handled the the contract and did the flowers was also amazing! The day was perfect and they executed everything I had imagined. have nothing but amazing things things to say about The Barn Event Center!

We looked at several venues but nothing compared to the The Barn Event Center of the Smokies! Debbie took us for a tour of the venue and everything inside and out was immaculate and absolutely beautiful! They have taken so much time, love and care in every detail of their property and it was stunning! She was professional, friendly, kind and knowledgeable. Andrea worked with us on the flowers, table set up, food and other details. She was patient, kind, helpful and answered all of our questions. She had so many creative ideas for decorations and flowers and she made it fun. The flower decorations were extraordinary! We used them outside and inside. Lisa is the wedding coordinator and she was a gem too. We talked with her before the wedding, the day and evening of and she was friendly, helpful, patient and ingenious. She always had a smile on her face, was calm, helpful and directed the day and evening perfectly. Everything flowed. The staff was great, the food was delicious and everyone was an absolute joy to work with. You can tell they enjoy their jobs and they made us feel welcome and like family. Thank you!!

The venue is breathtaking and the service is spectacular! My husband and I had the best day of our lives, and we got so much great feedback from our guests. All of them said it was the best wedding they’ve been to!The bartender ( The Pour Guys) made amazing drinks and people rarely had to wait.

There are so many wonderful things about this venue. The owners are incredibly nice and accommodating. The food is delicious and there are so many options to choose from. If you are on the fence about hiring the wedding director I highly recommend hiring one. Andrea has an eye for decorating and Lisa is absolutely fabulous in every way. They both made sure my day was perfect. There was a slight issue with an employee during the rehearsal, but it was handled in an incredibly professional manner and there were no issues the day of. The view is amazing and there are several beautiful places for pictures. I wish I could have another wedding just so I could spend another day here.

We had our wedding at the Barn Event Center, and it was the perfect place for our event. The outside space for the ceremony was beautiful, and the inside space for the reception was exactly what we wanted. They were willing to let us wait until the day of to call if we wanted to move it inside due to weather. This was vital since the weather report was saying 80% chance of rain until the morning of our wedding. The staff was very courteous, and Lisa was absolutely the best! She helped us out with all the logistics and made sure the event went seamlessly. They also helped us with a van to transport our guests back and forth to the hotel, so our guests could fully enjoy the evening.

The Barn is a great place to have your wedding. For starters, the venue is beautiful. Everything is decorated already, so we only brought minimal decorations. They gave us a great deal on the venue for the ceremony and reception so it was very affordable. I loved that everything was basically onsite, and setup and tear down is all done by the venue. The staff is very professional and they made every effort to make sure I felt taken care of. I would recommend this venue to any bride to be.

The Barn was so perfect for us. It was rustic and had character, but was still a great backdrop for our book-themed wedding.

I had my reception at The Barn. I also hired them to do the food at my reception, as well as the flowers. My wedding coordinator also came from The Barn. \rTo tell you a little about my event...it was wonderful. I had several...not one, but SEVERAL people tell me that my wedding and reception was the best that they had ever attended. The food was amazing. The decorations were exactly as I wanted them, and the surroundings were superb (a beautiful old barn with twinkle lights in the rafters and hard wood floors). People kept asking me how I found The Barn, because they were so impressed. \rBefore the wedding, the experience was very nice. I met with the chef, the wedding coordinator, the owner, the decorator/ floral artist and others in the months before the wedding. Each person treated me with respect and catered the event to my preferences. Because of the small amount of staff members, I felt that I received a lots of attention and received customized service.\rDuring the event, the staff greeted my guests in their cars as they arrived and again as they entered the reception. They were so attentive the entire night. They set up the event and cleaned up after the event. The wedding coordinator made sure that everything flowed perfectly. Unlike so many other brides, I didn't have to worry about anything during the reception. The Barn made sure that everything was lined out before the day of the wedding. Each employee worked very hard to make the night a success.\rIf I had one criticism, I would only say that The Barn was too meticulous with their charges. It felt like they never stopped combing through the plan to find every cent that they could charge for the event. The charges were still being edited during the last few days before the wedding, which tarnished some of the rapport that we had built in the months prior. I do have to say that they did let me cancel 5 dinners because of cancelled RSVPs a few days before the wedding though, which was considerate of them. \rOver all, I would highly recommend The Barn. After researching the area, I do not think that any other venue could have created the beauty and ambiance that they created. The reception was such a blessing. The Barn helped make my reception dreams come true.

I met with the chef, the wedding coordinator, the owner, the decorator/ floral artist and others in the months before the wedding. Each person treated me with respect and catered the event to my preferences. Because of the small amount of staff members, I felt that I received a lots of attention and received customized service.\rDuring the event, the staff greeted my guests in their cars as they arrived and again as they entered the reception. They were so attentive the entire night. They set up the event and cleaned up after the event. The wedding coordinator made sure that everything flowed perfectly. Unlike so many other brides, I didn't have to worry about anything during the reception. The Barn made sure that everything was lined out before the day of the wedding. Each employee worked very hard to make the night a success.\rIf I had one criticism, I would only say that The Barn was too meticulous with their charges. It felt like they never stopped combing through the plan to find every cent that they could charge for the event. The charges were still being edited during the last few days before the wedding, which tarnished some of the rapport that we had built in the months prior. I do have to say that they did let me cancel 5 dinners because of cancelled RSVPs a few days before the wedding though, which was considerate of them. \rOver all, I would highly recommend The Barn. After researching the area, I do not think that any other venue could have created the beauty and ambiance that they created. The reception was such a blessing. The Barn helped make my reception dreams come true.

We loved The Barn! They were always professional, accommodating, and helpful. The Barn was also very upfront about the costs. Being on a tight budget, cost was very important. Also, we took advantage of their package offer. You could use just the venue and bring in your own vendors, but we decided to use their catering service, florist, and wedding coordinator too. I definitely enjoyed the sort of \"one-stop-shop.\" I have reviewed the florist (Andrea Mervin) and wedding coordinator (Melissa Drewry) separately. Using The Barn services simplified almost everything and made my life much easier!! It was also cost effective since they offered venue discounts when using their catering. The catering prices were also in-line with other caterers in the area (so we saved $ by avoiding \"off-site\" charges that other caterers would have charged to come to the Barn as well as the Barn discounts). We also loved the atmosphere, rustic/old fashioned & welcoming. The white x-mas lights on the rafters gave a lovely comfortable glow to the entire space. There was plenty of room for our 150+ guests, tables, chairs, etc, and open space for DANCING!! We also loved the built-in stage--used it to showcase our cake and ice-cream sundae bar. As an example of their accommodation--I really wanted an ice-cream bar, and even though it was not on their regular catering menu, they made it happen for me! I loved it and so did everyone else!! Servers scooped the i.c. and, they had so many toppings!! Everything was very reasonably priced (& I definitely did my research before signing anything-You should too--Compare prices on everything!). On another note, compared to the open-air barn options we also considered, the a/c was a huge plus in TN's June heat!! The Barn is also easy to find, right off the main road in Townsend. Overall, we were very pleased with the setting, atmosphere, service, and quality of everything at the Barn! If you are looking for somewhere sleek, modern, and trendy, The Barn is not for you. But if you want a comfortable, rustic (but with all modern amenities), and beautiful space--The Barn is wonderful.

Andrea Mervin (Manager) Weddings are so exciting and beautiful! It is a wonderful job to help couples put together this very special day in their lives, one they will always remember! My favorite is helping them with flowers and decorations! I especially love when they call me the next day to say how wonderful their wedding day was and that it was so much more than they expected! That's what I go for!
