Set inside a full-scale, ship-shaped building along the Parkway in Pigeon Forge, the Titanic Museum Attraction brings the story of the RMS Titanic to life through authentic artifacts and immersive, hands-on exhibits. The museum traces back to a 1987 deep-sea expedition to the Titanic wreck site, co-led by founder John Joslyn, whose 44 days and 32 dives at the wreck directly inspired the attraction. Visitors can walk a full-scale replica of the Grand Staircase, touch water chilled to the Titanic's iceberg-night temperature of 28 degrees, and take a turn in the boiler room's coal-shoveling exhibit. Beyond self-guided tours, the museum's Grand Staircase and dining spaces open up for weddings, vow renewals, proposals, and corporate gatherings, presided over in some cases by a costumed First Officer and supported by dedicated event coordinators. Corporate groups can also book the space for meetings, galas, presentations, and team-building events set against the museum's collection of artifacts and full-scale re-creations.

Couples working with a photographer can arrange professional photography as part of their package. For receptions, the Pigeon Forge location offers a 3,000-square-foot event room with catering options, giving couples a place to continue the celebration after their ceremony beneath the museum's carved oak staircase and stained-glass dome.

The property is built around a full-weekend destination wedding experience, giving couples exclusive access to the entire estate rather than a single room or day. The centerpiece is the Barn, a 2,400-square-foot covered space with open-air windows on three sides and sides that roll down for weather protection, making it suited to both indoor and outdoor-style receptions for up to 150 guests.

Smaller gatherings of 50 or fewer can use the climate-controlled Garden Reception Room, which opens through large doors onto a deck that can double as a dance floor. Beyond the event spaces, the estate includes a private bridal suite for hair and makeup, a groom's lounge with a bar, game room, and pool table, and on-site lodging with six bedrooms and six bathrooms so the wedding party can stay through the weekend.
