Elope to Gatlinburg’s Smoky Mountain elopements are second to none. They offer couples a beautiful and enchanting backdrop for an intimate escape to say “I do.” In this guide, we’ll discuss why so many couples choose an elopement in the Smoky Mountains from Elope to Gatlinburg and how the Smokies’ breathtaking landscapes and timeless charm make a wedding ceremony here truly magical.
When It Comes to Elopements in the Smoky Mountains, There is No Better Choice Than Elope to Gatlinburg!
The Charm of a Smoky Mountain Elopement in Gatlinburg
Even for our couples who haven’t visited the area before, it doesn’t take much of an imagination to envision how beautiful it truly can be here. From breathtaking mountain vistas to natural creeks and river frontage, the Great Smoky Mountains is home to some of the most beautiful spots in the country to take your vows. Peaks covered in Smoky Mountain mist, dense forests, and vibrant blooms throughout Spring and Summer add to the beauty.
When fall time rolls around, the landscapes light up dramatically in golden amber and red hues. However, whether you are looking to elope in spring, summer, fall, or even winter, the Great Smoky Mountains are magic in the making.
Choosing Your Perfect Spot
Between Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, there are many wonderful spots to get married. Let’s take a look at a couple of them:
Foothills Parkway: Foothills Parkway provides couples with a panoramic mountain view. Overlooks on the Foothills Parkway set the stage for that beautiful vista backdrop many of our couples crave. If a mountain view is important to you, look no further than a Foothills Parkway elopement.
Greenbrier: For those looking for a Great Smoky Mountain wedding or elopement around a wide river, Greenbrier will be the choice for you. The only downfall of Greenbrier is that it has many timing restrictions (set by the National Park).
Built for Legacy. Fueled by Obsession. Run by Two.
Private Creekside: As a privately owned property (that borders the National Park) and our most popular elopement spot, Private Creekside is elopement magic in the making. It has a private creekside area which is complete with a small waterfall. Additionally, for our micro weddings, it has a covered pavilion that overlooks the creek. Of course, unlike locations actually inside of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, it includes guest seating.
Since it’s designed for very small events, it allows for up to 20 total people. The pavilion area also acts as a rain cover in the event of inclement weather. In addition to all of that, you’ll also find a field complete with two rustic trucks, a rustic tractor, and some old barns which adds to the country vibe of this beautiful elopement spot.

Phenomenal!
Adam & Danielle were phenomenal! Super helpful with my million questions & made us feel SO comfortable. I requested a sunset time slot at foothills & it rained so no sunset, but Danielle worked her magic & our photos still turned out wonderful. It was just us two plus them & Adam still made the ceremony upbeat & beautiful. Thank you for making the whole thing smooth & memorable!
Stunning Photos!
Our wedding was amazing! Danielle was a great help from the day we booked to the day we said I DO! She walked us through the entire process, answering all our questions and helping to calm our nerves! Rev. Adam made sure we didn’t miss any of our vows and was so helpful in stopping us from getting nervous! Our photos are stunning and Danielle was able to get a good variety including our overly large family. Thank you to you both for making our day so special!

Rooted in Place, Steeped in Story.
The Original. Not the Imitation.
We didn't just show up—we shaped the market. Since 2013, Elope to Gatlinburg has been the name behind more than 4,000 heartfelt Smoky Mountain elopements. Long before the imitators arrived, we were already walking trails with couples, capturing stolen glances, and officiating vows with heart and soul. We've lived the elopement experience ourselves. We know what it means to plan from a distance, to want everything to feel effortless, intentional, and beautifully documented.
Unlike many who followed, we never outsourced the magic. Our officiant is exclusive to our team. Our photographer captures only our couples. No rotating freelancers. No bargain-bin bookings. Just a trusted team delivering consistent, refined-work—every single time.
In an industry that often favors volume over vision, our approach is deliberate. We've built this brand with care, consistency, and creativity. So yes, others have tried to borrow the look, the name, the language—but what they can't copy is the legacy.
Choosing Elope to Gatlinburg means choosing originality. You're not just booking a package—you're securing a decade of expertise, a proven track record, and a commitment that runs deeper than marketing buzzwords.
They may try to mirror the name. But what we offer? It's not replicable. Because artistry, devotion, and reputation—those aren't things you can rebrand.
