surrounding Smoky Mountains are a beautiful backdrop for your wedding photographs. Our
professional videographer will film your wedding ceremony from three different mounted
cameras to capture close-ups of the faces of the bride and groom as well as full views of
the ceremony while it is taking place. The wedding flowers will be designed by our
professional florist in fresh or silk bouquets. Your honeymoon lodging, limousine and

Our ministers will lead you and all of the wedding party through proper procedures so that
the ceremony runs smoothly. Both of our ministers are ordained and each has a valid
license to perform your ceremony. The ceremonies they perform include the ring exchange,
repeating of vows and an inter-denominational Christian message. A family medallion
service can be included in the wedding ceremony when children will be a part of this new
marital family. Also, a unity service can be included in the wedding ceremony with special
music and the lighting of the unity candle.

We offer traditional wedding music played from CD's with quality sound from our audio
equipment. We have a significant library of music.
The Surrounding Area
If you've never been to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge or the Smokey Mountains... you are in
for a treat! The Tennessee mountains will entice you back year after year.
Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are both within close proximity to the Dollywood Theme Park,
many music theaters, art galleries and fine restaurants. The outlet malls in Pigeon
Forge are a favorite for tourists who visit this area. At Tanger 5 Oaks Mall some of
the newest stores are Chico's, Cold Water Creek and Fresh Produce. A wonderful
seafood restaurant, Connor's Seafood, has also just opened at the 5 Oaks Mall.
Nearby are several two new restaurants - The Olive Garden and Outback
Steakhouse in Sevierville and Johnny Carino's Italian Restaurant in Pigeon
Forge.
While you are here you may want to consider a hike to Mt. LeConte Lodge from one of
several different hiking trails within The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. You
will enjoy the atmosphere of The Great Smoky Mountains whether you hike or just sit back
on your deck and look out over the majestic Smokey Mountain views. The
Alum Cave trail to the top of Mt. LeConte is a favorite among many.
A trip to the Smokies is a favorite vacation spot for visitors from all over the world.
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the
United States. When you arrive in town, just follow the Parkway through Pigeon Forge
into Gatlinburg and continue into the park on the Smoky Mountain Parkway. As you
enter, stop and enjoy the Sugarland's Visitor Center with their wildlife under glass
displays. No matter when you visit the Smokies....you will love the mist
rising over the mountainsides with an ever-changing view. While you are
visiting...you may just see a Smokey Mountain Black Bear! Just give yourself time to
explore and take in these Great Smoky Mountains that our Lord has given us to enjoy.
God Bless!
