Excalibur in the Smokies

The Reception Weekend, All Under One Roof

Both families, the whole party, and the after-celebration — minutes from your venue.

Sevier County — Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg — is the second-biggest celebration destination in America, behind only Las Vegas. Thousands of couples mark their big day in these mountains every year. What most of them can't find: one place where both families and the whole party can actually stay together.

Excalibur sleeps 46 — so the rehearsal dinner, the getting-ready morning, and the night-after brunch all happen in the same great room, and nobody drives a mountain road at midnight.
