Long golden evenings, a heated indoor pool and a whole lodge for your weekend
Summer Weddings in the Smoky Mountains
Summer gives you the longest days of the year: a late-afternoon ceremony, photos in golden light, and a reception that runs into a warm evening. At Big Lodge Weddings your guests stay under one roof, with an indoor heated pool and hot tub for the days around the wedding.
Why Summer Works
Summer is the season most families can travel, which matters when your wedding is a three-day gathering.
- ✦The longest evenings of the year for outdoor photos
- ✦School is out, so families with children can come for the whole stay
- ✦An indoor heated pool, hot tub, theater room and game arcade to fill the days
- ✦Room for 56 to stay, so nobody drives after the reception
Summer Weather
Mountain summers are warm and humid, and afternoon thunderstorms are common. Many couples hold the ceremony in the chapel and save the deck for sunset photos once a storm has passed.
Summer Pricing
June 1 through August 31 is our peak season at $2,500 a night, with the same 3-night minimum, plus tax and fees and no event fee. Late spring and early fall are the same lodge at the standard rate.
What Every Wedding Stay Includes
The whole lodge is $5,400 for a three-night weekday stay or $6,000 over a weekend, plus tax and fees, with no event fee. Summer (June 1 through August 31) and holidays are $2,500 a night or more, and Thanksgiving and Christmas carry a longer minimum stay.
- ✦The entire lodge for your stay (3-night minimum)
- ✦The on-site chapel, yours for the full stay, not a timed slot
- ✦12 six-foot rectangular tables and 60 chairs
- ✦No event fee on top of the lodging
