Weddings with Small Guest Counts

How to book your Pigeon Forge wedding in the Smoky Mountains
Intimate weddings of 25 or less



Are you planning a wedding in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, and only want to invite a few of your closest family and friends?

Are you considering a reception at a local restaurant like www.parkgrillgatlinburg.com after the ceremony instead of a reception at your wedding venue?

Do you want a stress-free day with a wedding venue already decorated and full of wedding detailed conveniences, but without the rushed, road-side chapel approach?

If so, this article is for you, and will give all the details on how to book a destination wedding at Honeysuckle Hills with a close-knit group of 25 or less.

If you are eloping, with just the two of you or with your children, please see this link for even more options:

The Essentials
Honeysuckle Hills Wedding Venue Provides

  • Tour on a day before the wedding to choose your ceremony site, get to know our staff and how your wedding day will go, and drop off guest books, unity sand, wedding favors, etc. (If you choose to bring these items our staff will put them out for you, but it's not required.)
  • A one hour "head start" is allowed to enter the venue prior to reservation start time and get dressed.  We have two separate dressing rooms, each with its own restroom.  Guest restroom located downstairs.
  • Friendly staff to direct your wedding ceremony, play ceremony music, and make your family feel welcome (We're sharing our home with you, so come on in!)
  • Ask about our venue only rates if you prefer to use your own photographer.  We absolutely do welcome this option.
  • Flower gardens,open spaces, fences, arched bridge, creek running through the property, and so much more.

Wild Horses      

$1800 Wed-Fri            
$2000 Saturdays
  Includes $150 product credit

       
Our most popular, this package is perfect whether you want the breathtaking images with our horses that are trained to run behind you, or if you simply want more photography time for the most variety possible.  This reservation is a full hour and a half.

It's also a great choice for a couple bringing their young children.  Instead of pictures with the horses, more time can be devoted to your babies.  It often takes a little more time for little ones to adjust to the excitement and new surroundings. 


The Outdoor Adventure

$2500 Wed-Fri             
$2900 Saturdays  
  Includes $200 product credit         

Two hours of the most creative wedding images possible.  This package allows for enough time to travel three short miles from Honeysuckle Hills to private property bordering the National Park.  An old chimney, mountain views, mountain creek falls, and another vintage barn are possibilities there.  You may also choose to have the full two hours at the Honeysuckle Hills property.

How to Determine the amount of time you will need

An hour is sufficient if:
  • You are not hiring a professional photographer
  • Your family and friends will be taking their own snapshots of your wedding
  • You are using one of the Honeysuckle Hill's ministers and not your own
  • You are not bringing wedding cake or purchasing wedding cake from us

An hour and a half is recommended if:
  • You are hiring a professional photographer of your choice or the Honeysuckle Hills photographer 
  • You are using your own minister (extra time recommended in this case because they know you personally and deliver a longer ceremony)
  • You are not bringing wedding cake or purchasing wedding cake from us
  • You have guests not following each other and coming from different areas (This gives you a little wiggle room in case some arrive late)
Two hours is recommended if:
  • You are hiring a professional photographer of your choice or the Honeysuckle Hills photographer and want more time for your bride and groom images
  • You are using either the Honeysuckle Hills minister or your own
  • You wish to either bring wedding cake, or purchase wedding cake from us
  • You wish to use the reception area downstairs to eat your cake(already set up and decorated with white or chocolate brown table cloths) *** 3 hours required for receptions with food***
