The Smoky Mountains, formally known as the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, is a much sought after area, and a location many brides dream of marrying in.  At Sampson’s Hollow we have had brides travel from across the Nation and even across the seas to hold their wedding at the foothills of the Smokies, surrounded by the beautiful panoramic views of the mountains and the lush countryside.

2. Beauty! We really should list this first.  The awesome feel of the mountains, the mist and smoke in the hills as your back drop, our fields of wild flowers and awesome facilities where you can choose a most beautiful setting for your own are reasons people come to the Smokies, or sometimes known as the Smokey Mountains ( although our preference is Smoky) .  Sampson’s Hollow is a premier wedding venue in the Smokies.   We have been hosting couples since 2005 and our farm is a certified century farm, The Flynn Family Farm.  Our property lies next to famous Blackberry Farm where you may remember Kelly Clarkson held her beautiful wedding, we share that same awesome vista you saw in her portraits.  Do you love Burlap and Mason Jars?  You may love one of our signature celebrations for your wedding at Sampson’s Hollow.
