Is there a more stunning backdrop to a wedding ceremony than the magnificent Smoky Mountains? We agree, the answer is ‘definitely not.’ But we also know that planning a destination wedding from afar can feel very overwhelming. That is why so many couples choose Anakeesta for their Smoky Mountain wedding. The team at Anakeesta handles all the “I needs,” and “I don’t knows” so all you have to worry about is the “I do.”
Picture Perfect Location
Of course, if you are looking to get married in the Smokies it’s because you want that view. The view of the Smoky Mountains as your backdrop that quite literally takes your breath away. At Anakeesta, you can choose from two different locations for your ceremony, each one with beautiful views…yes, that view.
Vista Plaza- With a stunning panoramic backdrop of the Smoky Mountains, Vista Plaza can host up to 200 guests and offers a comfortable yet elegant location for you and your guests.
Heart Twigloo- Located in Vista Gardens, the heart twigloo is popular for both proposals and ceremonies. The unique artwork frames the I-doers within the iconic twigloo branches with views of Mt. Leconte mountain range behind them. This intimate setting is a great option for a small ceremony.
After you say “I Do” you and your guests can enjoy a elegent reception at the Smokehouse Pavillion atop the mountain or the enchanting Lumina Pavilion at the base of the mountain. Both options include in-house catering and a full bar. Anakeesta’s catering team knows how to make a statement on your big day. The menu offerings include options like roasted lamb, bacon wrapped scallops, grilled flank steak and pan seared salmon.
Anakeesta’s Got Everything Covered…and We Mean Everything. When you book an Anakeesta Wedding Package it includes the venue, an officiant, an on-site coordinator, photographer, a private shuttle for the bridal party, and champagne toast for the bridal party. Yup, ALL of that is taken care of for you! It also includes day passes for all your guests. That means they can come early or stay late and enjoy all that Anakeesta offers. How’s that for giving your guests an experience they’ll never forget!
Did we mention the package includes a photographer?! Our photographer knows all the best spots at Anakeesta to get those iconic pictures you will cherish forever. From the lush botanical gardens at Anavista Gardens to the 360 degree views on top of Anavista Tower to the twinkling lights of Black Bear Village when the sun goes down, having an onsite photographer who knows all the picture-perfect photo ops is priceless.
A wedding at Anakeesta takes so much of the stress of wedding planning off your plate, so you’re just left enjoying the day, enjoying friends and family and, of course, enjoying the beautifully romantic panoramic views of the majestic Smoky Mountains.
