6 Stunning Gatlinburg Elopement Venues You Need to See

Of all the Gatlinburg elopement venues, I think I have found the best for adventurous couples! I have been working as a Gatlinburg photographer for years. As a result, I have been able to visit and photograph at dozens of venues. Learning the inside scoop on amenities, overall service, and ease of planning with the venues. Here are my top six Gatlinburg venues that are really worth the hype!

Harper’s Vineyard

This is an elopement venue that I love getting to work with! The grounds, the reception space, the crew. Everything about this venue is ideal and beautiful! And if you need just a few hours to elope in one of the most stunning venues in the Smokies, then this is it!  This vineyard hosts elopements Monday through Wednesday only, with a variety of packages to meet your needs as you elope to Gatlinburg in one of our favorite venues in the mountains.

Spence Cabin

For a more intimate and woodsy elopement, something that hits all the iconic features of the Smokies, consider Spence Cabin. Escape from the hustle and bustle of nearby towns and elope in this private and quaint elopement venue. This location is stunning! From the stone-paved patio,  the babbling nearby river, and the mossy forest to the indoor cabin options and the featured stone fireplaces. You have to check this elopement venue out!

Ely’s Mill

If you are planning to embrace a woodland wedding, then Ely’s Mill is the place for you! Nestled in the woods of the Smokies, Ely’s Mill offers several sites along a creek for intimate wedding ceremonies. In addition, there is a pavilion option that seats up to 20 guests. However, it is important to note that the pavilion can get dark, so this is not an ideal option for an evening ceremony. You can consider saying your vows on the creek bed or on one of the trails, in addition to the pavilion. There is an additional fee for this location, which aids the maintenance of the the Mill.

With waterfront venue spaces, a quaint farmhouse, and the most perfect southern details, you will fall in love with this venue! When you rent this venue, you will have the capacity to accommodate 275 guests as well as have the hours from 10 am to 10 pm to entertain.

I may never get over the charm that is Honeysuckle Hills.
