Location of Chapel in the Glen

Conveniently located in Gatlinburg, Chapel in the Glen is tucked away in the woods. It’s just a few minutes from the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The chapel’s location makes it an ideal destination for couples seeking privacy and the natural beauty of northeastern Tennessee. So many shade trees and green lawns give that feeling of romantic seclusion couples love for a more intimate event.

Options for your Ceremony at Chapel in the Glen

When you marry at Chapel in the Glen, you can pick from the indoor chapel or the outdoor gazebo for your ceremony. The chapel itself has stained glass, vaulted ceilings, and eight pews for your family and guests. The gazebo sits underneath a canopy of trees, and is decorated with flowers and string lights. I explored both and they were lovely. Be aware that the gazebo location is a bit of a walk for all guests.

Backdrops for Wedding Photos

Your wedding photos at Chapel in the Glen will show off the natural beauty of this area, but there are a few places we can’t miss! For example, let’s grab a pose next to the mossy waterfall or near the fountain. More rustic elements, like the swing or the wooden fencing, can also make great backdrops. We had so much fun with this couple; we had a good mix of romantic and silly moments during their portraits!
