About Us

Our Vision

Trailhead Venues was founded by a seasoned wedding photographer and videographer who has captured hundreds of love stories at venues across the country. Inspired by those experiences, we set out to create a wedding venue in the Smoky Mountains that redefines what a celebration space can be, where exceptional design meets effortless function and natural beauty blends seamlessly with intentional hospitality.

Our mission is to craft visually stunning, unforgettable wedding days in a setting that honors the moment and pampers the couple. Nestled in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, Trailhead is a refined, resort-style wedding venue offering on-site luxury lodging, immersive mountain surroundings, and a trusted network of thoughtfully selected vendor partners. We envision Trailhead Venues as a sanctuary where couples feel inspired, relaxed, and fully supported as their love story unfolds.

Bridal Suite

Designed with elegance and comfort in mind, the Bridal Suite offers six makeup vanities, soft natural lighting, a private outdoor pergola, and refined architectural details. This serene, photo-ready space is the perfect retreat for the bride and her party to prepare, unwind, and enjoy the moments leading up to the ceremony. It’s an essential part of the elevated experience at our wedding venue in the Smoky Mountains.
