Planning a full wedding weekend allows couples to spend more time with loved ones and make lasting memories. At The Barn at Smith Lake, a weekend-long wedding offers the ideal combination of natural beauty, elegant amenities, and Southern charm.

Friday: Welcome Event or Rehearsal Dinner Kick off your celebration with a welcome party or rehearsal dinner on-site or at a nearby restaurant. A laid-back lakeside BBQ or elegant dinner inside the barn sets the tone for the weekend.

Saturday: The Big Day Host your ceremony outdoors with stunning lake views or inside the barn’s rustic-modern space. The Barn offers flexible layouts, dressing suites, and ample space for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions.

Sunday: Farewell Brunch or Lake Day Wrap up your weekend with a farewell brunch under the trees or encourage guests to enjoy paddleboarding, boating, or lounging at nearby lake rentals.

• Coordinate group lodging nearby for your wedding party and guests.

• Offer a printed or digital itinerary with events, addresses, and dress codes.

• Include personal touches, like custom signage or local welcome bags.

Why a Wedding Weekend Works: Spending a full weekend with your guests fosters a more meaningful and relaxed celebration. Smith Lake’s peaceful surroundings and abundant lodging options make it an ideal wedding weekend destination.
