Pigeon Forge TN Wedding Venue: The Barn at Chestnut Springs
Minutes From the Parkway, a World Away
Pigeon Forge is where your guests will want to stay. There are cabins with hot tubs, hotels on the river and something to do every hour of the weekend. Your wedding needs the opposite: quiet, privacy and a little room to breathe. The Barn at Chestnut Springs is about 20 minutes from Pigeon Forge, in the Sevierville foothills, on thirteen acres that are yours alone for twelve hours.
The fun stays close for the weekend, and the wedding gets a calm place of its own.

One Price, One Team
With The Springs or The Chestnut, catering, the bar, the DJ, the cake, flowers and setup come with one coordinator and one contract. You arrange your photographer, officiant, hair and makeup, and the alcohol. You buy it from a shopping list built around your guest count, and one of our preferred bartending vendors serves it.
Families Get to Be Guests
A venue host is on site, and with a package your coordinator handles setup and teardown. Nobody you love spends the night stacking chairs.
The Spaces
- The barn: a restored 1954 barn for up to 120 guests, with climate control, chandeliers and the original beams.
- The wooded cove: an outdoor ceremony beneath the trees.
- The covered pavilion: seats up to 90, and it's your built-in rain plan.
- The courtyard: string lights, a stacked-stone fireplace and room to dance outside.
- Two dressing suites: private rooms inside the barn, being refreshed for December 2026.
