Anakeesta

576 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN
300 Capacity
$5,000 to $50,000 / Event
Nestled above and within the heart of Gatlinburg, with unparalleled views of the Great Smoky Mountains, resides Anakeesta. The perfect place for a memorable, breathtaking event, you can discover this special place at one of our mountaintop venues. Each are unique but all offer beautiful vistas and exceptional service. As Anakeesta has continued to grow and welcome more visitors, we’ve found that providing the dedicated experience our wedding guests deserve has become challenging alongside our daily park operations. Because of this, we have made the difficult decision to no longer host weddings at Anakeesta, and our wedding webpage has been removed.

I recently had my absolutely amazing wedding at the stunning Anakeesta venue, and I couldn't help but be in awe of the flawless coordination and attention to detail that Tanner, the wedding coordinator brought to the event. From start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience that left everyone with a sense of joy and wonder. Firstly, the choice of Anakeesta as the wedding venue was a stroke of genius. The location itself was breathtaking, with its picturesque surroundings and breathtaking views. The beautifully manicured gardens provided the perfect backdrop for the ceremony, while the elegant reception hall exuded an air of sophistication and charm. Tanner, the wedding coordinator, was an absolute professional throughout the entire planning process. Their meticulous attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the wedding was executed flawlessly. One of the standout features of the wedding was the seamless coordination of the various vendors involved. Tanner's strong relationships with local vendors meant that everything ran smoothly and efficiently. Officiant was amazing and the photographer captured every special moment with precision and artistry. Tanner's expertise and guidance were invaluable throughout the planning process. The calm and composed demeanor helped to alleviate any pre-wedding jitters. Living 12 hour away, Tanner was there via email or phone to answer any questions and make sure everything will run smoothly. Overall, I cannot recommend Anakeesta and Tanner enough. Their combined efforts resulted in a wedding that was nothing short of magical. If you're looking for a venue that exudes elegance and a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your dreams come true, look no further. Anakeesta and Tanner will create a truly unforgettable experience that you and your guests will cherish for a lifetime.
