Bluff Mountain Inn
Smoky Mountains wedding inn with a chapel, barn and on-site lodging near Sevierville, Tennessee
Bluff Mountain Inn is a five-acre wedding estate in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, near Sevierville and a short drive from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The inn sits on a hill surrounded by gardens and woodland, with a country chapel and a rustic barn on the grounds. The same team also runs two nearby estates, so there is a setting for most sizes of wedding.
Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples
Each venue is reserved for your group alone, with lodging for you and your guests on site. The business is owned and run by a photographer and a certified wedding planner, and packages bring planning, photography and food under one roof. That means one team looking after you, from the first call to the final send-off.
Ceremonies
You can marry in the hillside garden, on the lawn or in the country chapel. All-inclusive, intimate and elopement packages are available, and they can include an officiant, flowers and photography, so a small ceremony is as easy to arrange as a full wedding.
Receptions and food
The barn at Bluff Mountain Inn offers 2,400 square feet of covered outdoor space, with room to seat, serve dinner and dance for up to 150 guests. Catering is in-house and part of the packages, and a rehearsal dinner can be included too. The venue can provide a bartender.
Staying
The inn itself has six bedrooms and a honeymoon suite with a jetted tub and private deck. For other group sizes, Cielito Lindo is a five-bedroom ridge-top estate with all-round views that hosts up to 75 guests, and Big Kahuna is a large cabin near Pigeon Forge that sleeps 25 and hosts up to 45.
Getting there and the area
The estate is in the hills above Sevierville, around an hour from McGhee Tyson Airport in Knoxville. Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Great Smoky Mountains National Park are all close by, which makes it easy to turn the wedding into a mountain break for your guests.
