Barn Event Center of the Smokies — Attraction in Maryville

First of all, Lisa was absolutely amazing. She was the kindest and sweetest person I think I’ve ever met in my life. I got married here on 11/28/2020. When I was giving Richard the final check, he said I owed $400 exactly more than what I had made the check out for based upon the quote I had received in my email from Andrea. The contract I had signed and agreed to the cost for seemed to completely disappear when Richard confronted me about being $400 short on the final payment. He pulled out a completely different contract that I didn’t sign. Not to mention when I handed him a check that was written out for close to $4,000, he asked me, “now are you sure this check isn’t going to bounce? ” which is EXTREMELY unprofessional. He refused to allow the chefs to start cooking until I gave him $400 which I reluctantly agreed because I was already annoyed at this point and didn’t want to deal with them anymore. We had the venue all day as well, and the bridal party arrived at 9 AM to begin getting ready. The female owner was showing the venue and kicked me out of the bridal suite and all the bridesmaids had to wait until their showing was done to finish getting ready. My dress and all of my belongings for the day were in the bridal suite and the female owner was in there with a potential client and kicked me out while I was getting ready and had me leave all my belongings which made me extremely uncomfortable. The owners and Andrea were not professional at all and could not keep anything I asked them or told them straight, and could not return phone calls to save their lives. However, Lisa was the savior for my wedding. I seriously owe her so much for making our day as...

We held a Wedding Celebration at the Barn in early June 2024. We checked out a number of venues but loved the look and feel of the Barn. (And it certainly helped that the price was very reasonable.) With an event like this, you can imagine all the planning that needs to happen and Andrea was very friendly and helpful with answering our questions and helping us plan for the event. Kristi was the Event Coordinator and was very patient with us. She was able to accept decor items in advance and help us stage everything wonderfully. Multiple guests complimented us on not only the decor but mentioned how efficient the evening/ night flowed which is a compliment to Kristi as she directed the evening's activities. She had a wonderful personality that our guests enjoyed and this carried over to the event team. We had a drink spill on the dance floor and a couple of team members came dancing onto the floor with their mops and towels adding to the fun. Overall, a wonderful evening as they truly worked with us. They integrated our suggestions and helped make them even better so that everyone enjoyed the evening. The Barn's outside scenery was also nice for guests who needed some fresh air, to view the sunset, and for taking photographs. Something...

Went here for my sisters wedding. It was an outdoor wedding.She paid extra for the waterfall to be running where they held the ceremony but they said that it was not working on this day. The chairs sunk into ground and chairs tipped. On the Inside of the hall The Dj just played music that she could have played on her own system. The DJ used a fog machine that only stayed in front of the DJ. The food was hands down the worst food I’ve ever tried to eat. They served sweet potatoes that I can only describe as having a pea soup consistency with tiny marshmallows. The chicken looked like it was put through a food processor and tasted like it was mixed with liver. The other meat was unrecognizable but I hear it was roast beef. The rolls had been sitting out and became stale. The bar tender mixed the drinks in a pitcher and let it sit out and if you asked for a beer they just pulled the tab on a can. And they were Non emotional. A lot of items, like guest book were scattered around the hall in unlit corners so that none of the guests knew they were there. There were many other issues that we encountered but to many to list. I would never use nor will my family ever...
