Magnolia Wedding Venue in the Smoky Mountains

January 31, 2025

Why couples choose Magnolia for a Smoky Mountain wedding.

Located in Pigeon Forge, Magnolia Wedding Venue sits right in the heart of the Smoky Mountain area and offers beautiful mountain views in every season. Whether you plan a spring, summer, fall, or winter wedding, this venue always looks stunning. Because Magnolia keeps everything in one location, couples can host their ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception without traveling between spaces. As a result, your timeline stays smooth and stress-free throughout the day.

Additionally, Magnolia sits only about 15 minutes from the main Pigeon Forge Parkway, which makes it easy for guests to access. However, the venue does include a steep driveway, so guests should plan ahead when arriving. Inside, Magnolia features warm wooden interiors, large windows, and scenic mountain views that create a cozy yet elegant wedding atmosphere.

Getting Ready at Magnolia Wedding Venue

Macy and Matt chose Magnolia Wedding Venue for their December wedding, and their day showed just how magical winter weddings in the Smoky Mountains can be. Matt got ready at a nearby cabin located only minutes from the venue. First, we captured portraits of him and his son while they finished getting ready. Then, we returned to Magnolia to photograph Macy and her bridesmaids in the bridal suite.

Meanwhile, Macy’s wedding design featured classic white florals paired with elegant black bridesmaid dresses. Because of this timeless black-and-white color palette, their décor looked both sophisticated and romantic against the natural wood interior of the venue.

During the ceremony, Macy and Matt added a fun personal touch that guests will never forget. Instead of a traditional flower girl entrance, their flower girl arrived in a small remote-controlled ride-on car. As a result, the entire ceremony began with laughter and excitement from friends and family.

An Unforgettable Reception Exit

Later in the evening, Macy and Matt danced the night away with their guests before planning a truly memorable send-off. Since the couple traveled from Florida for their Smoky Mountain wedding, they decided to bring their Harley-Davidson motorcycle to the celebration.

Instead of choosing a traditional sparkler exit, Macy and Matt rode off on their motorcycle at the end of the reception. Because of this unique idea, they created an editorial-style ending that perfectly reflected their personality and love story.
