A Beautiful Wedding...20 Years in the Making

We met and dated in high school (in 1987) and were planning to be married and live happily ever after, but life had other plans for us. After 20 years apart, we re-united and were finally married - at noon on New Year's Eve Day - in your beautiful chapel. We could not have been more pleased with any aspect of your services.
Everything we were told you would do, you did. And although we chose to elope and marry in private, you treated us as though we had a full wedding party and no detail was overlooked.
The photographer was wonderful and our pictures and album are beautiful and we are so glad we got the DVD of our beautiful ceremony. The Minister was very professional and personable and made us feel like he had known us for years. Not one time did any one make us feel rushed or like we were taking too much of their time.
Given the long time we were apart, the joy of finding one another again and the overwhelming emotions of our day, we were both very nervous about all the things that could go wrong. From start to finish we were kept completely informed of everything, all questions were fully answered and details explained. And in the end the entire experience was flawless.
We want to thank you and your staff again for making our wedding day one we will truly remember with great joy and love.
Sincerely,
Frank and Jennifer Miller

A Fairy Tale Wedding. December 5th, 2009

Chapel at the park was beautiful especially since it snowed on our wedding day but even if it hadn't I loved it there. They took care of everything and were so pleasant to work with. They took all the stress off the big day. Make sure if there is anything special you want you go over it with them. Other than that it was a Fairytale wedding. The photographer is great! The food was delicious and my husband and I didn't want to leave. The honeymoon accomodations were spectacular and we will be visiting there for the many years to come. The ladies at the Chapel that help you plan your wedding and help you get ready were so sweet. I can't believe how lucky we were to get such a wonderful chapel without seeing it first. Other than the pastor's name being my husband's ex-wifes name it was fantastic. I give my upmost appreciation to everyone who made such special days as this perfect. The setting was lovely and I will never forget my Fairytale wedding. It's hard to be back at work after such an unforgettable time. Thanks to the chapel staff for making my dream wedding come true. And if you are reading my post considering whether to book your wedding here - I highly recommend it. (p.s. if you can do a cake tasting I would suggest it other than that it was perfect - just wish i would have gone with chocolate) :) Stephanie and Josh

74 and Sunny in November, Married Nov 7, 2009

There are not enough words to say. We are so thankful to have had such an unforgettable day and to have had such amazing people to spend it with. Everybody was so friendly and knowledgeable. We can't even begin to explain how beautiful our outdoor wedding was, 74 and Sunny on a November weekend! We were so happy! The photos turned out beautiful! The reception was perfect! Oh, and that wedding cake was the best cake we have ever put in our mouths! The food was great, the DJ was awesome, the reception staff was super friendly! Thank you so much for making the most memorable day of our lives, Memorable!

Love, April and Scotty

One Year Ago: Married October 27th, 2008

We celebrated one year of marriage yesterday. I love that we had such a beautiful video to look back on, we watched it and were able to smile and enjoy the moment all over again. Thank you again and may you all continue to be a blessing to the many other couples that will come through your chapel. Thank you Rev. Tim for the prayer you prayed with us,it continues to bless and remind of of the importance of our marriage daily!! Darlene and Steve

Thank You!!! Married October 23rd, 2009

We just wanted to say thank you to Chapel at the Park and Star 93.3 in Cincinnati, Ohio for giving us a chace to have a beautiful wedding! We were the winners of a wedding package at Chapel at the Park and it was everything we could dream of and more! Everyone was so kind and hospitable. We look forward to sharing with others what we know about our awesome experience at Chapel at the Park!! Thanks again for everything!! Lindsey and Daniel

Totally Awesome!!! Married October 10, 2009

I just wanted to write to say thank you so much for helping us have such a beautiful wedding!! My coordinator, Bobbie, did an awesome job. I was so nervous the day of the wedding. I was having an outdoor ceremony, which would have been awesome, however, the weather did not want to cooperate. I was so stressed about how everything would turn out. Once I got to the chapel, everyone was so nice and helpful. I really appreciate someone being there with an umbrella to make sure I didn’t drown in the rain, and ruin my hair and makeup!!lol

Once I got to the bridal suite, everything was there and ready. Pictures were a breeze, and the ceremony was awesome!!! My guests kept telling me how beautiful everything was. And the pictures….totally awesome. We are having trouble deciding on which ones to pick out as they are all so perfect!!! The staff was professional, courteous and made sure everything was perfect!!! I felt like I had missed the wedding, and didn’t pick the video option. However, since weather didn’t cooperate, luckily, you all were nice enough to throw in the video for me since I had to be moved indoors which almost made me cry when I found out, as I felt like I was to nervous to remember anything that had just happened…lol

We cannot thank you enough for all that you did. I have to tell you, I was very worried. I basically read a couple of reviews, and decided to go with you based off of the website. But I thank the good Lord every day that I did. I know I keep saying it, but it was perfect..and thank you sooooo much!!!!!!! The staff is totally awesome, and they all deserve a huge hug and pat on the back!! Awesome customer service.

I especially loved the picture with the just married sign, the only certificate that matters in Tennessee!!! The photographer was very nice and friendly. He almost felt like family. The minister was just as awesome.

So, again, a million thank you’s…and I promise to send anyone I ever meet your way, who is planning a Gatlinburg wedding!!! Michelle and Andrew

The Most Magical Day of Our Lives: 30 Year Renewal Oct 10, 09

Thank You so Much to all the people at Chapel at the Park. Especially the photographer Mike. He was a savior that day. He took the most wonderful and perfect pictures of our magical wedding. The coordinators at the Chapel were fantastic. They handled the rain and the delays (caused by the wedding party) with confidence. I would definitely recommend everyone to this Chapel, they can handle any situation and give you the Wedding of your dreams. My husband and I renewed our vows for our 30th anniversary at Chapel at the Park. I have never been as happy as I was this day. WE HAD OUR FAIRYTALE WEDDING AT Chapel at the Park. You must have you wedding here if you want he whole fairytale.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loy and Deborah

A Rainbow Over the Mountains - Married August 15th, 2009

Dear Chapel at the Park, I just have to tell you how blown-away we were by how wonderful you all are! On the day of our wedding, my mother, maid-of-honor, and I were all running a little late from our hair appointment. When we got back to the cabin the limo was already there waiting for us! The limo driver gave us a big smile and was very kind, patient, and courteous! He didn't add to the stress that we were all already feeling. The ladies changed quickly and off we went. We were greeted at the chapel by a wonderful crew of helpful hosts (and hostesses) who ushered us where we needed to go and were also very kind, patient and courteous! The first thing I saw in the bridal suite were the flowers I ordered. They were more beautiful than I could have imagined! The photographer was wonderful. In fact so many of the pictures were so great we had a difficult time narrowing it down to just 48 for the album! The Minister was kind and the service was excellent! When the minister asked "Who gives this woman," the chapel erupted when my father proclaimed "My mother and I do" instead of "Her mother and I do"! It was the perfect mistake. Everyone was all smiles instead of tears from that moment forward. Also, your reception center was lovely! Once again, it was even better than I could have imagined it could be! The cake, the food, the staff, the decorations... all exceptional! After the festivities, when we arrived back at our cabin, there was a rainbow over the mountains!! Our day certainly couldn't have been more perfect! Thank You again to all of you from the Chapel at the Park!!Sincerely, Carrie & Rob Ireland

We Had A Great Wedding - Married July 2009

We had a great wedding. We were both pleased with the minister who performed our ceremony. Our wedding was exactly the way I wanted it. Thank you for working with me and letting me have it in the Gazebo area. I was very impressed with the chapel and its location, expecially after seeing some of the other chapels as we were sightseeing. Thank you for making our day so special. Nicole and Ruel

Truly "FIVE STAR" - Married July 11th, 2009

To Mandy and Chapel at the Park Staff,

Wedding Day Delightful - Married June 2009

We were married at Chapel at The Park on June 19,2009. I researched chapels online in Tennessee and came across Chapel at the park. I loved the setting and surroundings of the place. It looked exactly like what I was looking for. I booked it for our wedding day and I was not disappointed. The place is lovely. Everything I hoped it would be. Our minister and photograher were great. Even the lovely lady who helped me zip my dress. My roses were beautiful as well. They let us bring our own music and that was great. We had our own personal touch. It was only our 2 sons and us but they made us feel special. I can't forget our photographer either, he was excellent. Our pictures and video are great. We received them in less than a month. Just yesterday as a matter of fact. Chapel of The Park is a 5 star chapel in my book definitely. One last note, we loved how the minister did the vows slightly different. They weren't the traditional vows we were used to hearing. Thank you for making our day so very special. Sincerely, Eric and Tonnie

Beautiful Wedding - Married June 27th, 2009

We traveled to TN for our son's wedding in June. We were pleasently surprised at how well organized the event was. These people have the weddings planned, everything ran smoothly and was top notch. The grounds and ceremony were beautiful! The minister was well spoken and well prepared. Thank you for making it a memorable experience! Charlotte and Rick

Nothing Less Than Spectular - Married June 2009

Thank you very much for all your help, support and expertise during the most important day of our lives. We truly couldn't have imagined our wedding any where else in the world. Everything was perfect. It was the most beautiful wedding ever. We still have guests saying it was a wedding that seemd to be found in a movie or something... nothing less than spectacular! Thank you for everything, and we truly hope to visit Gatlingburg and Chapel at the Park again soon. Love, Brandon and Courtney

Happy Ohio Couple - Married May 2009

My wedding was three weeks ago and we are still talking about how nice everything was. So I thought I would share it with you here. Ron and I picked the Cinderella three day wedding event. (I was going from daddy's princess to Ron's Princess). My guests and I arrived Friday evening for a get together social. It was a deli night theme with red checker-table cloths and the works. They even had a make your own sundae bar so we could all create our own dessert creations. After the deli we met with the Minster (Rev Lee) and he was so nice.He explained to everyone how the cermony would work and that there would be staff everywhere (and there was) to help us at the chapel.Saturday morning the chapel delivered coffee and rolls and fruit to our rooms for the bridesmaids and the groomsmen. My brides maids and I went to the spa treatment they set up for us. I had my hair, make up and nails and they all had their hair done. While we were there the guys went to pick up their tuxes. The limo picked up me and my girls and mom and off to the chapel we went for the final get ready and meet with the photographer. And we were all singing get me to the church on time. Then Ron and his guys arrived by limo. The guests all met at the reception site and were brought to the chapel by a Gatlinburg Trolly. I think the guests liked the ride as much as they did the wedding. The wedding was outdoors and flawless. At the reception we had a DJ and danced for what seemed like hours. The food was good and the service was far better than we had anticipated. The next morning they even had a continental breakafast set up for the guests before they left town so they could have a farewell time together. Ron and I did not go to that. That night we dinner on the town and tandum massages and then the next day we had Dollywood tickets on our door.Between the wedding pictures, the reception pictures and the mounatin shoot (with lunch it was romantic) we went on we had over 400 portraits to choose from on line. I wish I could talk to everyone who is thinking about Gatlinburg I would tell you Chapel at the Park was AWESOME. Happy in Ohio, its Tasha and Ron

Everything Was So Nice - Married June 13th, 2009

Everything was so nice for our June wedding. The garden makes a wonderful background for the wedding pictures. We were treated like royalty by the staff. I would suggest if you are planning a wedding in Gatlinburg to go to Chapel at the Park. We looked at several other chapels and there was no comparison to the elegance. Michelle and Jesse

Marital Bliss - Married May 23rd, 2009

I was in the last semester of college and did not have time to plan my wedding. I was glad to find Chapel at the Park. With a little help for their on line abilty and one of their very personable Wedding Cordinators we planned the entire thing from my college room. Two days after graduation we arrived with 40 guests to Gatlinburg to find we had selected by far the nicest chapel in town. Secluded on an estate it is even surrounded by the National Park.Everything and every detail was correct and my mom and dad could not have been happier. The guests raved and it was obvious that the staff new how to make guests feel like it was the only wedding of the day. From my flowers to the grilled salmon at our reception the attention to detail was perfect.We are busy now selecting what portraits we want for our album and I am getting ready to teach school this fall. If you are a type "A" person and a little too busy to plan an at home church wedding but still want it to be grand I would highly recommend Chapel at the Park. Good luck from Sally and Jake

Thank You So Much - Married on June 6th 2009

Hello all,
Thank you so much for hosting our beautiful wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better location and amazing staff to work with. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The work put into the preparation, wedding ceremony and reception (flowers, cake, food, decoration, pictures) was evident and it all turned out so beautifully. I was so pleasantly surprised by how easy everything was and how smoothly everything ran. I had more than one person in attendance to comment on how wonderful everything was and how this was the way to get married. Lori and Don
