Our wedding venue at The Vieux is very versatile. You can choose to get married in front of the mountains up by the gazebo and outside chapel, on the balcony of The Vieux in front of Mt.

Wherever you choose, your wedding will be unique and just as you choose it to be. We don't charge an exorbitant amount for our venue because we want you to be able to afford to stay at The Vieux and have your wedding all rolled into one at a great price.

Whatever you choose is up to you so it can be your perfect day on The Mustard Seed property at Your Home Away From Home in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. All of your guests can stay too in our 7 other cabins on the same 12 acres/mountain top.

As a wedding photographer, all I can say is WOW! I’ve photographed here many many times and I am always blown away by the views and also the wonderful staff. The space offers a wonderful getting ready spaces and multiple photo locations to use. A big thing to note is they also have a rain back up plan which is a MUST. The option to book on site cabins is also a game changer - this is great for locals but also a wonderful option for destination couples! The last thing I need to rave about is their FARM ANIMALS!! Having that as an option with B V is amazing. They make it very fun and it’s always a hit with the guests! 1000/10 would recommend anyone getting married here!

We had our wedding at the Hilton Uptown, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the experience—especially thanks to Clem, our amazing event manager. From the very beginning, he offered valuable insight and thoughtful suggestions that truly helped bring our vision to life. He guided us through everything from décor ideas to meal planning, making sure every dietary restriction, allergy, and preference was handled with care. We held our ceremony in the atrium and our reception in the ballrooms, and both spaces were absolutely perfect. Having my bridal party enter via the escalators was such a unique idea—our guests loved it and had never seen anything like it! There are also so many beautiful spots inside and outside the hotel for photos, which made the day even more special. On top of that, we hosted our bridal brunch and rehearsal dinner at the Hilton Uptown, and each event was just as wonderful. The entire experience, from start to finish, was seamless and unforgettable. I highly recommend this venue and cannot thank Clem enough for his professionalism, creativity, and support throughout the entire process.

Working with Tony and Beth at Old Lystra Inn was an absolute dream from start to finish. After spending countless hours searching for the perfect venue, my husband and I knew immediately that this was the one the moment we pulled up the driveway. Tony greeted us with a late-evening tour that felt incredibly personal, not at all rushed—and it set the tone for everything that followed. The property itself is breathtaking. The grounds are impeccably maintained and filled with charm, and so much is included in the rental package—tent, dance floor, chairs, tables, and more—which made planning far less stressful. It was a huge relief not having to coordinate all those big logistics separately. Beth and Tony were a constant source of support leading up to the big day. Whether it was a quick stop by to walk the grounds, a late-night email, or one of our many questions (and there were a lot!), they always made time for us. We never felt like “just another couple” in a long wedding season. Instead, they made us feel like our day truly mattered—like we were getting married in a place that had heart and soul, not just beautiful scenery. On the day itself, Tony was everywhere—behind the scenes making things happen and helping everything flow effortlessly. We can’t overstate how much that meant to us. Thanks to his quiet dedication, we were able to be fully present and just enjoy the day. We are endlessly grateful to have had our wedding at Old Lystra Inn. It was the best day of our lives, and Tony and Beth played such a meaningful role in making that possible. We can’t wait for the day we get to return as guests and relive the magic from a different perspective. Highly, highly recommend!

Meris and the team worked closely with all our vendors to ensure everything went perfectly on our wedding day. Even in the face of imminent rain - which thankfully held off - the Chetola staff was prepared with several contingency plans. Every detail was thought through, nothing was missed.
