The Barn Event Center of the Smokies

The Barn Event Center of the Smokies is a full-service venue in Townsend, Tennessee, for weddings, receptions and a range of private and business gatherings. Set against a Smoky Mountain backdrop, the property combines the character of a cantilever barn with gardens and indoor event spaces, giving organisers options for ceremonies and celebrations in different settings.

Couples can plan an indoor or outdoor wedding ceremony, followed by a reception in the barn. The venue includes a banquet hall, a great room with exposed beams and a vaulted ceiling, a stage and dance floor, and a bridal suite where the wedding party can prepare. Its gardens offer an outdoor setting for ceremonies and photographs, while the indoor spaces provide an alternative for celebrations held inside.

The team offers wedding coordination and helps clients shape arrangements to suit their plans. On-site catering is available, with menus and event details that can be discussed with the venue. The centre also provides event furnishings and tableware options, as well as a PA system, projector and screen, special-effect lighting and linens.

Beyond weddings, the venue welcomes receptions, bridal and baby showers, family and class reunions, anniversaries, vow renewals, life celebrations, corporate meetings and business events. Organisers can contact the team to discuss their event, customise the arrangements and arrange a venue tour. Its location in Townsend places it within reach of Knoxville, Maryville and communities across East Tennessee.
