Unbridled Love: The Best Horse Wedding Locations in Pigeon Forge
Choosing Your Ceremony Officiant
How to Choose the Best Elopement Wedding Package at Honeysuckle Hills
The Smoky Mountains have a magic all their own, and at Honeysuckle Hills, we’ve been helping couples capture that magic for twenty years. From our rolling hills, flower gardens and mountain views to our friendly horses, we’ve become a favorite destination for couples from across the country.
Hello! I’m Regina, and my goal is simple: to make your wedding as easy as possible. I specialize in all-inclusive packages that require zero planning on your part, so you can focus on what actually matters—each other.
Navigating the Smoky Mountain Wedding Scene
I know it’s overwhelming to wade through the hundreds of venues in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. This area has been a wedding hub since the late 80s, but the last few years have seen a massive surge in wedding venues and planning companies. Every single one of them has a unique vibe, but not all of them include essentials such as a place to get dressed, a rain plan, or privacy.
To help you cut through the noise, Honeysuckle Hills offers everything you’ll need:
Our venue has 7 different ceremony locations to choose from, a back-up plan if it rains, a place to get dressed, a day-of-wedding coordinator, and several talented officiants and photographers to choose from. We also work with the very best wedding vendors in the Southeast if you need florals, hair and makeup, a wedding cake and MORE. Don’t forget we have more places to take photos than any other venue!
Here are the Three Most Popular Ways to Elope at Honeysuckle Hills
Our family-owned venue is unique with its variety of offerings from elevated, luxury experiences to last-minute adventures!
The Luxury Elopement
Cost: $2999 – $8999
Discounts for military / first responder appreciation
Best for: Couples who want an all-inclusive experience, often including hair & makeup, wedding cake & florals
Overview:
Our Purely Petals elopement package is a seamless experience for couples who arrive with hair & makeup complete, but want plenty of time for their ceremony and wedding photos. This option saves money since preparation is done off-site. The focus is on a cherished ceremony and breathtaking photos in our private gardens & mountain meadow. Starting price is $2999 for up to 10 guests, but can be expanded to up to 30 guests by adding more time.
The Secret Garden is a full luxury elopement experience, including hair and makeup services on-site, florals, wedding cake reception, and set-up of personal decor (that you bring) by your day-of-wedding coordinator. Our venue is always wedding-ready, but many couples enjoy bringing their own mood-boards to life at our venue. This is our most requested elopement package with more time to linger, socialize with family and make memories.
Ceremony Options: All ceremony locations / Mountain Adventure Site always limited to couples only
Rain plan: Wedding Chapel or Creekside Pavilion
When to Book: April, May, Sept, Oct book up to a year in advance for weekends / 6-9 months in advance for weekdays

Adventure Elopements
Cost: $2499-$4999

Best for: Couples seeking a more unique mountain wedding focused on adventure & romance, WITHOUT guests
Coming Soon!
Ever thought about wedding photos with the thundering hoof-beats of horses running around you? Perhaps you’d rather get married in an untamed mountain meadow after a ride through the pasture in our Jeep? Conversely, you may be more of a romantic at heart with a desire to wed beneath the flickering lanterns in a willow at dusk.
Wild hearts deserve a more venturesome way to get married in the Smoky Mountains! For far too long weddings have been “cookie cutter” clones in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Skip the busy National Park vibe with tourists, red tape and little to no privacy. THIS is the wedding you’ve really been dreaming of!
Budget Elopements
Cost: $1225-$4725
Discounts for military / first responder appreciation
Best for: Couples who love the beautiful atmosphere at Honeysuckle Hills, but have no desire for luxury amenties or personalization
Overview:
These wedding packages are for my down-to-earth country couples who appreciate simplicity. You’ll arrive with your hair and makeup complete and use our dressing areas to change. While each package has a recommended guest count, choose based on the time offered instead. That way you’re sure to get all those beautiful photos you’re craving, in addition to an optional first dance, cake cutting, or private vows. Budget Elopements are only available on certain dates. Essentially, they fill “holes” in our schedule during peak wedding season, OR off-season dates in December through March.

Ceremony Options: All ceremony locations / Mountain Adventure Site always limited to couples on

The “Golden Years”
Cost: $625 – $875
$100 discount for Military & First Responders
Best for: Specifically created for our “golden years” couples (You know who you are!)
Overview:
This is a simple ceremony with photos for couples who decide to get married last minute in the Smoky Mountains. It is especially perfect for couples in their “golden years” who prioritize the commitment of the ceremony and only need a few photos to share with their loved ones. This is our quickest and easiest way to get married, and one of my personal favorites. You’ll arrive dressed and ready for your ceremony. The ceremony and photos last only 30 minutes, and you’ll leave as happily married.
Because of this package’s simplistic nature and low cost, walk throughs and / or tours are not available on a day prior to the wedding. Regina or Sierra will personally help you choose your ceremony site and go over all the details 15 minutes prior to the ceremony on wedding day.
When to Book: Last-minute only (cannot be booked more than one month in advance)
Guest Count: 0-4
Ready to Start Your Adventure?
Choosing the right package is the first step toward a stress-free wedding day. Whether you want a 5-minute “I do” or a 6-hour luxury experience, Honeysuckle Hills is here to make it happen.
Honeysuckle Tradition
I’m Regina, and I look forward to helping you plan your special day! Couples just like you have helped me carry on a legacy of love for the past 19 years. At one time my venue was a working farm where my Daddy raised cattle and tobacco. As much as I enjoyed growing up here, I sure do enjoy weddings more than farming!
My venue’s down-to-earth attitude attracts Christians, outdoor lovers, hikers, fishers, hunters, conservationists, travelers, adventurers, all skin colors, LGBTQ lovers, and fAree-spirited souls with an abundance of respect for diversity.
My family believes that our own personal faith in Jesus Christ fosters abounding love to welcome all with open arms and a servant’s heart.
