At Bells With a View Weddings & Events in Sevierville, Tennessee, we host micro weddings and intimate celebrations designed to make your day stress-free, beautiful, and unforgettable.
Here are some of the top reasons couples are choosing the Smokies for their destination wedding:
1. Stunning Mountain Views for Your Ceremony
The Smoky Mountains offer some of the most romantic backdrops in the country. At Bells With a View, our outdoor ceremony deck overlooks sweeping mountain scenery, giving you that “wow” factor without the need for over-the-top décor. Whether it’s a golden sunset or the glow of autumn leaves, your ceremony will feel like it’s right out of a postcard.
2. Convenient Location in Sevierville, TN
One of the best parts of choosing the Smoky Mountains is how easy they are to access. Our venue is located in Sevierville, just minutes from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, and less than an hour from Knoxville’s airport. That means your guests can fly in, drive in, and enjoy a wedding that feels both adventurous and accessible.
3. A Destination Wedding with Built-In Adventure
When you plan a wedding in the Smokies, your guests get more than a single day of celebration — they get a full getaway. The area is packed with things to do before and after your wedding day:
