When I was 14 years old I passed by this chapel during a trip to Gatlinburg with my youth group and I fell in love with it, it had been my dream to get married there. Well life takes unexpected twists and turns and I moved away from Tennessee, fast forward to now. When I started to plan our wedding, I had every intention of it being where we currently live, my now husband looked at me one evening and said, I honestly thought that we were just going to go somewhere to get married, and I said oh yeah like where Vegas, and he said no, that little chapel that you saw when you were a kid that you loved so much, do you think that you could find it? Well, after a little digging and some phone calls I did find it and we were able to schedule our wedding to be on our 5 year anniversary, which happened to be 2-22-22.
The entire experience was phenomenal, from the staff, to the words that Pastor Robbie spoke, and the vows my husband and I exchanged, it truly was a dream come true. And I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping to make that one dream from so many years ago such a beautiful reality.

The staff was extremely nice and the ceremony went well overall. The problem I had is with the pictures and the video. The pictures were supposed to be taken by a professional photographer, but they were not great pictures and one was blurry. The video was even more disappointing. The entire video was blurry and hard to see. The only person that could be heard is the preacher and the sound was not great. Also, the preacher announced us as Mr. and Mrs. Miz.our last name is Munoz so it was not even close.
Beyond crushed that the pictures and video of our special day are so horrible, especially since no one was allowed to take pictures or video other than the venue. Again, great place, wonderful people. Just don't expect professional pictures or video.
