NEW FOR 2021

    National Park Weddings
Elope to Gatlinburg is excited to announce that as of 2021, we now hold a CUA license, allowing us to
offer weddings inside of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. To make your special day in the
Smokies as stress-free as possible, all of our National Park weddings include the necessary permits and
fees. Just sit back and relax while we take care of the permitting headaches. You can view the available
locations below and on the following pages:
           Greenbrier (Spot #1)                                      Greenbrier (Spot #2)

            Creekside beauty in the                                 Greenbrier Creekside Spot #2 in the
         Smoky Mountain National Park                                Smoky Mountain National Park
Greenbrier is located on the East Gatlinburg end and is only 6 miles from the main downtown Parkway.
Once you turn into Greenbrier, the first mile of the road is paved and the following 4 miles are gravel.
Greenbrier Spot #1 is located off of the paved section while Greenbrier Spot #2 is located farther down
the gravel/dirt road and is generally less busy than the first spot.

All of our National Park elopements are limited to 10 total people and a maximum of 3 vehicles. Are you
looking for a mountain view? Be sure to check out the next page for breathtaking mountain view loca-
tions inside of the park.

When you are ready to reserve your Smoky Mountain elopement, just give us a call at (865) 365-5025.
Mountain View Spots

              in the National Park
       Foothills Parkway (West)                                       Foothills Parkway (East)

          Located approximately 17 miles                         Located approximately 30 minutes
           from downtown Pigeon Forge.                                from downtown Gatlinburg.
There are 2 different Foothills Parkway locations inside of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park
that are perfect for small weddings. Foothills Parkway West is located outside of the Wears Valley,
TN area and is approximately 30 minutes from Pigeon Forge (heading towards Townsend, TN). Foot-
hills Parkway East is on the complete other end of this area and is closest to Gatlinburg, though it’s still
about a 30 minute drive from the Gatlinburg Parkway.

                     www.elopetogatlinburg.com
                                 The Noah “Bud” Ogle Cabin
For those looking for something a little different, we also offer weddings at the Noah “Bud” Ogle Cabin
inside of the National Park. Located only three miles from the downtown Gatlinburg Parkway, this rus-
tic and historic cabin makes for a beautiful setting for a Smoky Mountain elopement. While there aren’t
any mountain views, there is plentiful greenery and trees surrounding the property which makes for a
great spot for some after-ceremony formal portraits around this historic structure.
Cades Cove Weddings

                in the National Park
         Leguire Field Overlook                                                     Wildlife Overlook

             The Leguire Field Overlook                               The Wildlife Overlook inside
                   in Cades Cove                                            of Cades Cove
Cades Cove is a beautiful spot inside of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is about 30 miles
from downtown Gatlinburg. Cades Cove itself is an 11 mile one-way loop road. While this area makes
for a gorgeous wedding spot, it is the busiest location in the entire National Park and is often very
crowded. Due to its rural nature, cell phone signal at Cades Cove is non-existent. Due to the traffic,
travel, and time investment considerations, this location is priced higher than other National Park spots.

                        www.elopetogatlinburg.com
                       More Information on Cades Cove Weddings
Cades Cove gets EXTREMELY busy. Seriously...it’s the busiest spot in the entire Smoky Mountain National Park. On
weekends and busy days, it can take literal hours to make it inside and through the one-way loop road, if you are com-
ing from Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. It is about a 30 mile drive from Gatlinburg. While this area is very beautiful...
please be aware of these issues. In addition to the rough traffic that is often in this area, there are many permitting limi-
tations on the available dates/times. Give us a call to check the availability of your ideal date. You can find the package
pricing for our Cades Cove packages a few pages down from here. Like all of our National Park weddings, the locations
at Cades Cove are limited to 10 people and 3 vehicles.
Cabin Weddings

                                             NO WORRIES.
                                             A   popular choice amongst our couples is to have their

                                             rental. Serving Gatlinburg and the surrounding areas,
                                             we take the stress and worry out of your special day. We
                                             come to your cabin. There is no traveling on unfamiliar
                                             roads, sitting in traffic, etc. The best part is that there
                                             are no rules. You can have as many guests (or as few) as
                                             you feel comfortable with. Our cabin ceremony services
                                             start at just $369. Just rent a cabin and give us a call.

As far as the specific ceremony location at the cab-
in is concerned, the choice is entirely up to the cou-
ple. Some prefer to have their ceremony outdoors
on the deck or balcony, with the stunning moun-
tains as the backdrop. Other times (sometimes due
to inclement weather) couples prefer to have their
ceremony indoors, often times by the crackling cab-
in fireplace. In either case, the exact area of where
the ceremony will take place is completely up to the
two of you. We will be more than happy to accom-
modate your request.

WHY CHOOSE US

   The Elope to Gatlinburg
         Difference
When searching for a wedding provider
in the Smoky Mountains, you are sure
to come across many options. So, why
should you choose Elope to Gatlinburg?
This is why:

We are local. We live and work in Gat-
linburg and have for a decade. Many
wedding providers you will come across
only travel here for weddings. They
don’t even live here in Sevier county and
sometimes, not even in Tennessee for
that matter.
We only have one photographer. Many
competitors have multiple photogra-
phers that they use throughout the
course of business. You never really
know who shot what sample photo. We
have only one photographer and have
always had only one. Every single pho-
to in this wedding guide and every sin-
gle photo on our website was taken by
the same person. When your special day
arrives, there will be no guessing as to
who your photographer will be and if
their photos will be great or not.
We are highly experienced. We have
officiated and photographed over 3000
weddings right here in Gatlinburg and
Pigeon Forge over the years.

We love weddings. While this is still a
business for us, we love weddings and
being able to be a part of a couple’s spe-
cial day. You’re ecstatic on your wedding
day...and we are ecstatic for you!

We offer a great value for your money.
We probably aren’t the cheapest option.
We definitely aren’t the most expensive
option. We do, however, offer an af-
fordable service with a great value.

Basic Photography
Exactly as the name implies, this is our most
affordable and most simplistic photo package.
It includes photos only during the ceremony.
It does NOT include after-ceremony formal
portraits, photos with guests, etc. For af-
ter-ceremony portraits or photos with guests,
you will want either our Mountain Memories,
Appalachian Admiration, or Smoky Mountain
Serenity package.

Like all of our photo options, this option in-
cludes digital downloads of the full-sized im-
ages. A print release is also included.

                PLANNING A
      WINTER WEDDING?
While snow makes a beautiful backdrop for
your Smoky Mountain wedding, unfortunate-
ly snow is not something that can be planned
for. Over an average winter season, we may
receive only 4-5 snow falls. Some years it
comes as early as October or as late as April.
Other years, we may receive no accumulation
in town over the entire winter season.
Fall Time
    Weddings
Fall is the most popular season for wed-
dings, and for good reason. From the cool-
er temperatures to the stunning foliage
colors, there is no better time for your
outdoor wedding in the Smokies. Be sure
to make reservations in advance as spots
fill up quickly this time of year. Fall is also
the busiest season for Gatlinburg tourism,
so be sure to keep in mind that the higher
volume of tourists will mean heavier traf-
fic during this time of the year.

      Danielle Edwards - Photographer
You don’t take a photograph. You make it. That
is the motto that I live by. I aim at creating
wedding photos that emphasize the love and
unity shared between your significant other
and yourself on your most special day.

Your wedding day is one of the most import-
ant days in your life and I will ensure that your
memories are perserved for decades to come.
Using a combination of traditional portraiture
photography mixed with an illustrative style,
I create photographs that scream “Share me
with everyone you know”.

Every photo you see in this wedding planning
guide and on our website was shot by me...ex-
cept the photo to the right...it was shot by my
husband above!
