New for 2023 - Parking Pass Required

The National Park now requires parking passes for anyone parking inside of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, including parking for weddings. Parking passes are NOT included with your reservation and must be sourced directly from the National Park for each vehicle you will be taking into the park. Daily, weekly, and annual parking passes are available.

If you are having guests at your wedding, you’ll ensure they know that they will need to purchase a parking pass. You can obtain more information about the required parking pass directly from the Great Smoky Mountain National Park by clicking here.

We had a wonderful experience! Adam and Danielle are extraordinarily nice and made the whole process so easy. Our dog is a huge part of our lives and they were wonderful with not only handling him but also including him in our beautiful photos. The private creekside location is stunning and made for a secluded and intimate ceremony. Highly recommend getting married through this company!

I can not recommend this company enough. Danielle and Adam gave us step-by-step directions to guide us on what was going to happen and when. Any nerves we had – disappeared. The ceremony was absolutely gorgeous and made for beautiful photos. I’m so glad that I chose this company for my wedding. They made it quick and simple, yet beautiful and elegant. All I can say is thank you, and to whoever is reading this – book with them. They won’t disappoint.

Such a good experience!! They made us feel so comfortable! It was a time filled with smiles and laughs and we felt relaxed and not stressed or worried like so many other people on their wedding day. Plus the photos turned out beautiful! And we got them back quick! Thank you to the both of you for making our special day a great one.

Jessi Springle

client testimonial

Thank you for such an amazing wedding experience. We want to profoundly thank you both for making our wedding everything we hoped for. The beauty of your private creekside location and beautifully carved pavilion was something out of a storybook dream and the enthusiasm of you both helped make this a day to remember had us in tears. The kerosene heaters were an unexpected but most welcome touch and the pictures we received were of exceptional quality. You guys made sure to capture each and every moment of our wedding in crystal vivid detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about our Private Creekside elopements? Find your answers down below.

Can we have guests?

Of course! While we do many true elopements (with no guests), all of our wedding locations allow for up to 20 total people and every package (except the Simple Remembrance) allows for guests. This includes the two being married, any members of the wedding party, and any and all guests, including children. This is a strict limit, though, and the number cannot be increased for any reason. Since we specialize in elopements, all of our locations have this restriction. We do not offer locations/packages for weddings with more than 20 people.

How do I make a reservation? Is a deposit required?

It’s simple, really. Once you have decided on your date, what package you want, and the location you want to get married at, you can reserve your wedding on our website at this link. You can also just click “Book Now” farther up the page under the package you wish to book. If you prefer to make your reservation over the phone, just give us a call at (865) 365-5025.

To reserve your date/time/location, there is a $300 non-refundable deposit. Since it’s non-refundable, you’ll want to be sure to finalize your travel plans prior to booking your elopement with us. The remaining balance isn’t due until the time of the ceremony.

How do I get the Tennessee marriage license?

For any elopement taking place in Tennessee, a Tennessee marriage license is required. No company can get it for you on your behalf as it must be signed by the couple directly in front of the county clerk. Out-of-state couples often stress about this. But, getting a Tennessee marriage license is super simple.

In Sevier County, we have three offices you can get it from and they can be issued any day of the week except for Sunday. In about ten minutes, you’ll be out of their office with your marriage license in hand. Just bring this license to your wedding spot and we take care of the rest. For additional information regarding the Tennessee marriage license, click here.

How many photos are included?

The Mountain Memories package includes 60 minutes of photography and includes around 60-70 photos. The Appalachian Admiration package includes 90 minutes of photography and includes 90-100 photos. The Smoky Mountain Serenity packages includes 120 minutes of photography and includes 120-140 photos. Since the Simple Remembrance package doesn’t include photography, it includes 0 photos.
