What if your ceremony, reception, lodging, rehearsal dinner, after-party, bar, entertainment—and even your backup plan for unpredictable weather—could all be in one beautiful place?

That’s exactly what couples love about The Venue on Douglas Lake at Smoky Mountain Lakeside Resort and Marina.

Imagine exchanging vows along the shoreline of Douglas Lake with the Smoky Mountains in the distance… then celebrating just steps away under our beautiful lakeside pavilion.

And if Mother Nature changes her plans? You don’t have to change yours.

Our pavilion gives couples the beauty and atmosphere of a waterfront wedding with the added comfort of shade, shelter, and a built-in weather option.
