Almost Heaven Resort & Weddings

Let me start by saying thank you to Cindy who spent the extra time making this the most precious day of my life. Where to begin? First of all the ceremony was just the right length of time, not to long but not to short. The wedding cake was beatiful. When I saw Joe dancing with his little girl, not so little now, but will be his little girl forever, need I say more. It brought tears to my eyes. We will have photos to remember this special day in our lives. With the mountains and sun as our canvas, the photos turned out beatiful. Thank you Almost Heaven

This venue was amazing!! My husband and I planned a destination wedding with them. They always responded very quickly to our e-mails and concerns. For only meeting them once in person, our day was exactly want we wanted!! Cindy and Jenn set up everything from the photos, cake, catering, tuxs, ceremony, hair & make-up, and dj. We were so glad we had them to take care of everything, since we were swapped with family and friends coming into Gatlinburg.

My husband and I highly recommeded the staff and services of Almost Heaven!!

Jenn was wonderful and helpful for everything we needed done. We wanted a simple and beautiful wedding and that's exactly what we got. we couldn't have been happier. and I would recommend Jenn and the staff at almost Heaven to any bride to be who loves the beautiful views of the mountains.

We got married at the Sky Site and it was fantastic! Cindi and Jenn were sweethearts, and the staff that were there for the big day couldn't have been more helpful. We were treated like royalty! People ask me all time, "Where did you get married?"!! And just love love love our photos! Thanks Almost Heaven for always putting a smile on my face when I remember our Wedding Day! :)
The only reason I did 4.5 for the Service was b/c of the DJ. They might actually have someone else DJ'ing for them now, but when we were there they used "Entertainment Services". I would not use them. It was a lot of money for not so great of a DJ service.
Other than that, everything was great, the food was wonderful! I would highly recommend using their catering service. I can't say enough how helpful the staff was. Great great people!
Happy wedding planning! I hope your wedding was as beautiful as mine!

Wedding was beautiful. The only downfall was that the bridal suite was extremely small and very hot.

When I told Almost Heaven about my cake and flower choices, they did not seem to listen or trust my choices. They asked the same questions over and over but I always gave the same answers. My flowers still didn't turn out quite the way I wanted. Also, I asked for the initial of our last name to be put on the top of the cake in frosting. I asked for it very clearly and multiple times, but when we got to the wedding, the top of the cake was totally blank. One of the Almost Heaven staff members showed up to the wedding in a t shirt and capris, and had to be cropped out of several pictures. Also, be prepared to clean everything up after the wedding and reception are over.

I'm not saying don't get married here. Definitely do. it's gorgeous...
All I am saying is do your research and your taste tests and have your own coordinator for the day of...
PROS
- INCREDIBLE VIEW!!
-Cake was fantastic and absolutely gorgeous!
-Owners assistant Jennifer, is wonderfully helpful and should be promoted to operate the whole thing. She is the only reason why I am even giving them ONE star for professionalism.....!
CONS
-The catering was good. Not terrible but not anything special. The meat was dry and the veggies were over seasoned, but the veggie lasagna is AMAZING!!! We got it for the few vegetarian friends and family, and it turned out to be the most tasty thing on the menu!!
- The site is really difficult to get to, especially for the "out of towners". A lot of our guests left right as it got dark because of the lack of street lights, proper signs, and heavy branches that littered the road up the mountain...:-(which is a private road that Almost Heavens is responsible for)
-All the decor and the cabins are intensely dated back to 93.
- It's really sad because this place has huge potential which is why I am TOTALLY HOLDING BACK on this review. They charge you an arm and a leg here and the things that went wrong could have easily been prevented but obviously it's the people who run it. Really sad cause it's beautiful up there. Its God's country..

Almost Heaven is such a beautiful place for a wedding! The views are incredible and provide great opportunities for gorgeous photographs!
