We hosted a small wedding for our family and friends at Elegant Elite Estate, and it was perfect for our group of 40! The venue was highly accommodating and made everything seamless. On the day of the event, everything was set up exactly as anticipated, the chairs, tables, and beautiful wedding arch. Having on-site lodging for the entire group was incredibly convenient, eliminating the hassle of transportation between our accommodations and the venue. We couldn’t have asked for a better setup!

Our wedding venue at The Vieux is very versatile. You can choose to get married in front of the mountains up by the gazebo and outside chapel, on the balcony of The Vieux in front of Mt. Le Conte (if it's a small wedding party), in the back yard of The Vieux surrounded by the trees or inside in front of the floor to ceiling stone fireplace. Wherever you choose, your wedding will be unique and just as you choose it to be. We don't charge an exorbitant amount for our venue because we want you to be able to afford to stay at The Vieux and have your wedding all rolled into one at a great price. Some choose to do everything DIY while others choose to have a wedding coordinator, catered food and decorators come to prepare everything for them. Whatever you choose is up to you so it can be your perfect day on The Mustard Seed property at Your Home Away From Home in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. All of your guests can stay too in our 7 other cabins on the same 12 acres/mountain top.

The Retreat at Hiawassee River was the perfect venue for our wedding weekend. They were prompt with communication and helpful with all my questions, making the planning process seamless. We rented the all cabins and the pavilion so only our guests were able to stay on-site. It made for a very fun weekend as we got to spend more time with our guests. We also had the flexibility to do what we wanted throughout the weekend - there were no time constraints on start & end times for Friday & Saturday gatherings - which was exactly what we were looking for. Lastly, the decor closet was amazing. We had to bring much less decor knowing that the closet was full of decor options. The Retreat at Hiawassee River exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a beautiful and unique wedding destination.
