Gatlinburg's
The Wedding Chapel in the Glades
The trill of songbirds herald
the arrival of couples eager to take flight on life's greatest journey
at The Wedding Chapel in The Glades, a small Gatlinburg gem hidden among
a woodland wonderland, yet conveniently close to the downtown area.
Wedding
Packages: The chapel offers a variety of ways to express your
devotion, ranging from a no-frills basic ceremony and the budget-conscious
"Couple's Special," offering 10 4 x 6 photos of a 30-minute
intimate ceremony held either in the chapel or outdoors with up to 6 guests,
to the ornate celebration of love, the "Mountain Classic."
During a two-hour expanse
of time, a limousine arrives to escort the couple to the chapel, where
the bride walks down the aisle carrying a silk waterfall bouquet. The
nuptials, which include a union candle ceremony, are captured for posterity
in both video format and in a total of 40 images and a set of proofs,
which can be compiled in a complimentary wedding album.
 The
couple can toast to their happiness with their choice of either gold-embossed
goblets or mugs before sampling slices of a two-tier wedding cake and
a groom's cake. Following the festivities, the newlyweds take their honeymoon
basket, compliments of the chapel, to their cottage at the venue's honeymoon
resort for a three-night stay.
The
Chapel: Gothic windows frame the verdant beauty outside as
natural light pours into the chapel's interior, which is furnished with
rustic wooden pews that face an altar area of stone and wood. A stained
glass window flanked between flower-bedecked candelabras provide a romantic
backdrop as the minister pronounces the bride and groom husband and wife.
Outdoor
Weddings: Its beauty
reminiscent of the classic children's novel from which it derives its
name, a cobblestone path leads brides into the award-winning "Secret
Garden." Here lovers exchange vows beneath a wooden pavilion in sight
of a heart-shaped display of floral finery as a trickling waterfall murmurs
in the background.
Honeymoon
Accommodations: The crunch of leaves and the crackle of a fire
in a wood-burning fireplace are the sounds heard by newlyweds at a stay
in one of several log cottages, each its own private paradise complete
with a kitchen and hot tub located on the front porch for an unobstructed
view of The Great Smoky Mountains.
