The Barn

A barn can be the perfect place for a rustic or country wedding. Today barn weddings are taking place all over the country and offer the bride and groom a chance to hold their wedding or reception in a very personable and unique location. Just like farm weddings, a barn wedding can be dressed up or dressed down to match the decor and style of your wedding and offer endless charm.

Located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, the Barn at Bluff Mountain Inn offers 2400 square feet of covered outdoor space for your elegant outdoor event.  It will accommodate seating, dining and dancing for 150 guests.  The barn includes a "prep" style serving station, chairs, tables, linens, audio equipment, outdoor heaters, ceiling fans, a vintage chandelier in the center as well as the entry way.  There's also a stage area for DJ or a band.

With open air windows on 3 sides, this unique facility is a combination of the indoors and nature.  Sides roll down if the weather requires your event can go on regardless of the conditions.

Country Chapel

Country chapels are very popular for southern weddings. The chapel at Bluff Mountain Inn was custom designed and built in 2007 by Burt Barrett and is modeled after one of the vintage chapels in the Cades Cove area of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The photo on the back wall of the chapel on the right is of Cades Cove Missionary Baptist Church.

The chapel is a one-room building with one center aisle and pews on each side. Up front there is a vintage mantle and some ironwork stained glass window replicas. There are windows on both sides and a side door next to the front of the building. The main entrance is from the back. The building does have air-conditioning which makes it available for weddings year round. It will seat approximately 75 people. There is no room in the chapel for a reception. The restrooms are in our garden reception hall near the chapel.

The pews were imported from a church in West Virginia and custom fitted and reupholstered for our chapel. It is a beautiful place to hold your mountain wedding ceremony, and also serves as a backup for outdoor weddings in case of inclement weather.

Garden Reception Room

Our garden reception room is the ideal space for groups of 50 and under. Climate control makes it comfortable at any time of year, and when the weather is ideal large double doors open onto a spacious deck surrounded with trees which can also double as an extended dance floor. Decorations can be used to dress up or dress down depending on your taste.
