Smoky Mountain Wedding Venues for Chicago Couples

Chicago is about 9 hours from Sevierville by car, or a flight from O'Hare or Midway into Knoxville — typically one connection on most carriers. For Illinois couples who have explored Wisconsin's lake country and want something entirely different, the Smoky Mountains deliver: dense Appalachian hardwood forests, private mountain estates at elevation, and a landscape that bears no resemblance to the Great Lakes coastline. Our three venues give Chicago couples exclusive use of the full property and on-site lodging for up to 60 guests — a combination that is rare anywhere in the Midwest within a single travel day. The Knoxville connection is straightforward from both major Chicago airports.
