There are also many other "unique" venues to make a memorable event.When you imagine a place filled with as much romance as the misty valleys and sun-dappled peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains, you realize why 600,000 people come to the Smokies each year just to get married or attend a wedding.  It’s the second-most popular place in America to tie the knot. (Las Vegas is the most popular.)
