What could possibly be better than getting married beneath the amazing majesty of the Great Smoky Mountains? Hosting a wedding outdoors brings a level of beauty to your ceremony that is just not possible indoors-though hosting it in front of the most beautiful mountain range in the United States definitely trumps any old garden or backyard.
Gatlinburg, Tennessee, at the foot of the Smokies, is an extremely popular wedding destination. No wonder, when you consider what they can offer you and your family for your special occasion.
Gatlinburg is home to over 20 chapels perfect for the ceremony. From traditional white chapels to "log cabin" chapels unique to this region, you are certain to find an aisle that is perfect for your triumphant march! If you are imagining an outdoor wedding, try the Chapel at the Park, or if you want a real, unique cabin experience, try Cupid’s Chapel of Love.
Gatlinburg has got everything but the groom for your Smoky Mountain wedding. Whatever kind of wedding you are imagining, from candle lit ceremonies to catered parties, they’ve got what you need. There’s also professional photographers, ordained ministers and florists. And, many of the chapels come with a whole honeymoon package!
Or keep things simple and get married in one of many beautiful honeymoon Gatlinburg cabins or chalets. Rent a romantic mansion, ideal for a ceremony and reception, that can work as the honeymoon suite as well. Private, stunning and economical, this is a great idea for anyone with a smaller invite list. Gatlinburg offers a number of alternative lodging choices for your guests as well.
Give your friends’ destination weddings in the Bahamas a run for their money with a wedding in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Besides being closer to home for all of your guests, the natural beauty of the United States leaves nothing to be desired. Take your photos next to a waterfall or mountain stream, or get married in a quaint outdoor gazebo. With the beautiful weather of Tennessee’s spring, there is truly no reason not to choose this peaceful locale.
Or, if you are really looking for a different experience, get married at Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies. They can host your rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception, complete with a banquet.
And, Gatlinburg offers everything you need for the big day. Great places to get your hair and nails done, as well as charming boutiques to buy your dress and tuxedo are all available in Gatlinburg. Just apply for your Tennessee Marriage License and grab your groom for a first-class and totally unique wedding. And if you are really looking to get into the Smoky spirit, try playing local Dolly Parton’s song "Marry Me" for your first dance! We’re sure that is what she intended it for!
No matter what you choose, your love will only be complimented by the inspiring beauty of this natural and one-of-a-kind locale.
