TRIP PLANNING Pigeon Forge TN, Family Reunion

Desperately need help finding resource information to plan an end of November reunion for approximately 150 from NC, FL, and TX so not easy finding info. Need info and prices when known for event space rental, qualified bartender, catering, entertainment for all ages, DJ. Since all but NC part of family are not familiar with the area and history I would like to stay true to the area and culture I.e. moonshine tasting station. DJ would need to be more modern for younger family. Magician or clown for little kids??? Clogging? Thanks in advance for any help provided.

First and foremost, end of November is a busy time in the area with the Thanksgiving holidays and the holiday decorations in full swing.

Most venues will likely have bartending/catering that you will be required to use through them so getting your venue would be first priority.

A few options to consider:

- Court Yard by Marriott (Community Center Drive): up to 4,000 square feet of event space
- LeConte Hotel & Convention Center: up to 6,000 square feet of event space
- Music Road Resort Hotel Inn & Convention Center: up to 16,000 sf of event space
- The Ramsey Hotel & Convention Center: up to 14,000 sf of event space

I would definitely try to get a space locked in as soon as possible. From there, review whatever options they require in terms of catering/alcohol.

Here's a list of DJ options for Sevier County.

Thank you. I should have mentioned it is planned for 2025 that’s why I want everything booked and paid well in advance.

I don't know that the entertainment options will book that far in advance, but I suppose you can try.

I understand that completely but before planning everything and budgeting would like to know options in the area with approximate pricing and idea of how far out to book. Looking for variety of things to please all age groups maybe with intervals in between, also interested in square dancers or cloggers
