Ceremony and reception space: The Glass Room
The resort's primary indoor event space is called The Glass Room. It measures 28 x 36 x 30 ft (1,008 sq ft) and is listed with capacities such as Auditorium/Theater 90 and Reception 100 on meetings pages.
Because the property shows just 1,008 sq ft of meeting space, larger wedding receptions will require clarification with the resort about outdoor pool-deck opportunities or partnering venues nearby; the site markets 'large event spaces' in its wedding materials, but the published meeting-space total is one room.

- Capacities published: Auditorium/Theater up to 90; Reception up to 100; Banquet up to 80

Planning, logistics, and practical tips
Confirm meeting-room availability and catering options well in advance — the resort's meetings pages show only one formal meeting room, so larger events may require outdoor or off-site arrangements. Ask the resort about wedding packages and what they bundle (lodging, ceremony coordination, catering).
Know the basic arrival rules: check-in starts at 4:00 P.M. and check-out is 10:00 A.M.; the reservation holder must be at least 21 with a matching government-issued photo ID and credit card to check in. The property charges a resort fee per accommodation, per night that covers items like fitness-center access and self-parking.
- Check-in: 4:00 P.M.; Check-out: 10:00 A.M.
- Reservation holder must be 21+ with matching photo ID and credit card at check-in
- Resort fee is published per accommodation per night (confirm amount at booking)
- Free self-parking available; Gatlinburg Trolley stop serves the resort for Parkway access
| Question to ask the resort | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Does my wedding package include water-park tickets or private pool use? | Water-park admission is usually sold separately and pools may have public hours |
| Can you provide a sample menu and bar pricing for Southern Comfort? | Menus and hours vary by season — needed for accurate budgeting |
| Is The Glass Room available for our date and setup style? | Room size and capacity will determine guest counts and floor plan |
