The Gatlinburg Event Center is a brand new 6000 square foot space located
in the heart of the beautiful Smoky Mountains of Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
 It is the perfect space for any event, large and small including business retreats,
weddings, family reunions, church conferences, you name it!


 The Gatlinburg Event Center is a beautiful event center that
is built on top of a mountain ridge facing Le Conte Mountain and
Greenbriar Mountain. With glass windows across the face of the building,
it is the perfect venue for a Balloon Retreat.

 Whether you want ice cresting the mountain tops, beautiful spring flowers
and green summer foliage, or bright orange and red dressing the ridges
and valleys of the mountain, you can experience all those views in the Gatlinburg Event Center.
