How to Find a Waterfall to Get Married By in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg

Searching for a waterfall to get married next to in the Smoky Mountain National Park?  There is basically only one way to get to a waterfall in the mountains, and that's by foot.  And your footsteps will be many, my friend, because the best and largest waterfalls are deep in the forest.  They are also on government property, which requires a permit for a specific time at a specific place, and does not prohibit other tourists from crashing the wedding.

If you are a free-spirited couple with a zest for adventures, you probably weren't deterred by anything I just mentioned.  (I love your energy!)  But... what if I told you that your wedding adventure could be even more exciting?  Wouldn't it be better to discover a less traveled path in the mountains to start your journey in life together?  One untouched by the millions of tourists that visit the Smoky Mountains every year?

There's a better way to have a wedding by a waterfall.  It may not be one like Rainbow Falls or Grotto Falls, but it can be close.  It can be private.  It can have the most touching memories and photographs to remember them by, too.

Let's start with the most adventurous location, Beeler Mountain.

This location is for the couple who wants to either get married or have wedding photographs in a private area in the Smoky Mountains.  My back yard happens to join the boundary of the Smoky Mountain National Park.  It's been in my family for 200 years... and once spread across 300 acres.  Eventually the government took back what it originally gave, and we're down to about 16 acres of land now.  Those precious few acres that are left explode with beauty everywhere...

In case you're wondering where the name "Beeler Mountain" came from, it happened when I married my sweetheart last October beneath a tall walnut tree in my back yard.  While I retain my maiden name to preserve the family history (kind of like what Dolly Parton did when she married Carl...) I married a man named David Beeler.  Since he hunted these woods with my Daddy when he was still alive, I decided to honor him by naming the mountain in my back yard after him.

Early spring through about mid-June is the best time of year to experience fuller waterfalls here.  In late summer and fall, it's still beautiful but the water flow is less.  (As it is with most waterfalls in the mountains)

Not all wedding waterfall photographers gear up like I do... but I have a whole lot more fun!

The second waterfall location is at our country garden wedding venue, Honeysuckle Hills.  www.honeyysucklehills.com  

Many of our couples still want the opportunities there for guests, receptions, and more back-up plans if it rains.  The waterfall here runs year-round, too!

I can help you book the perfect wedding next to a waterfall.  Email me today and we'll explore all your options for your wedding here in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.  green.forest97@yahoo.com

The personal attention I can give you, along with the absolute best, most creative photography will leave you with no regrets.  If you're marrying the man or woman of your dreams, even if it's not the first time you've been married... I know it's most important commitment you're making in your life. For this marriage, invest in the wedding experience.   I don't mean the "fluff," I mean the quiet kind of atmosphere that allows you to enjoy saying your vows, and enjoy re-living the wedding when looking at the photographs later.

Weddings in the Wilderness

www.honeysucklehills.com

866-572-7724

The woodland forest…  Its verdant greens in the canopy above and mossy carpet below beckon those who can hear its still, quiet voice.  If you are one of the blessed ones who can hear its calling, you know how precious it is to find your own tree-filled escape.  Aside from National Parks, a private forest of one’s own is rare.

If you want to get married among the trees as the birds sing your processional, Honeysuckle Hills in the Smoky Mountains of East TN has three options that will delight the naturalist’s heart.  

The Willow Tree

Planted nine years ago, our willow continues to stretch its trunk skyward and spread its loving branches down, enveloping our couples as they read their wedding vows. 

The wedding willow tree is easy to get to, especially for family and friends who want to watch you get married outdoors beneath the branches blowing in the breeze. 

The dressing rooms, back-up areas in case it rains, and all other full-service wedding amenities are available with the Honeysuckle Hills wedding willow tree.

The Enchanted Forest Wedding

Fairy-light lanterns, ferns, and a tree-limb bridge complete this romantic wedding-scape.  Listen to the creek that flows practically at your feet, and even the hoof-beats of horses as they gallop up to witness your commitment to each other.

The enchanted forest at Honeysuckle Hills has seating for 20 to 30 of your guests, absolutely perfect for couples who want a private wedding in the wildnerness. 

This area is also at the spacious Honeysuckle Hills venue where you'll find dressing rooms, back-up rain plans, and all the full-service wedding amenities you need.

The Secret Mountain

Are you the couple who takes spontaneous adventures, hiking, fishing, or simply exploring?  Do you delight in finding secret places that no one else knows about? 

If this is you, don’t share your sacred wedding location with anyone else.  Regina can lead you on the romantic adventure of your lifetime in the mountains she grew up in.  These trails are not open to tourists.  It’s all private land with a map to your very own outdoor wedding spot in the middle of nowhere. 

You’ll have a story all your own.  You’ll have memories created in the mountains of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN that rival even the best-selling romantic novel!

The private mountain wedding is not located at Honeysuckle Hills.  Just like a back-country camping trip, you'll need to arrive ready to travel by foot.  Bring a back-pack with the essentials (extra shoes, lipstick, cell phone, etc.)  Regina will bring bottled water and the minister.  

To plan your own woodland forest wedding, contact Regina at  green.forest97@yahoo.com

Regina married her sweetheart in the company of their rescue squirrel, "Sassy" in 2016. The mountain location they held their ceremony is an old stomping ground for generations of Regina's family.  Her great-grandfather who lived in those same hills was responsible for carrying many of the timbers for Mt. LeConte with his mules many years ago.

She  created the Honeysuckle Hills wedding venue in Pigeon Forge, TN to share her love for photography, flowers, and YOU.
