A Log Wedding Chapel in Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Chapel in the Glen is a rustic log wedding chapel on Glades Road in Gatlinburg, just minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. During the day, sunlight pours in through the windows and skylights. On cool evenings, the gas-log fireplace and candlelight make the whole room glow. The chapel seats up to 40 guests, with your wedding party standing up front beside you.

Outside, a garden gazebo, garden arbors, a reflecting pond and a waterfall give you a second setting for your vows and plenty of spots for photos afterward.

Small Weddings and Elopements in the Smoky Mountains

Many of our couples want something simple: just the two of you and a few people you love in a beautiful place. Our Quick 15-Minute Wedding is made for that. Bring your Tennessee marriage license and our pastor handles the rest, at the gazebo, by the waterfall or inside the chapel. It's $369, and you can add up to six guests for $50.

For a bigger celebration, our chapel reservations run from 30 minutes to two hours. Each one includes a minister, day-of coordination, a custom music playlist and faux florals for you and your wedding party. The longer packages add private dressing lounges, so you can get ready on site.
