Creekside Family Elopement

A Micro-Wedding With Your Family and Friends

Get married with all your loved ones, family reunion style! You’ve been coming to Pigeon Forge for vacation many times, so why not let me host your micro-wedding here, too? Your wedding photographs and peace of mind are the highest priority. This luxury package offers more flexibility than our budget packages like The Mini Wedding and Simply I Do.  There’s less worry for things like running late, weather, and other unexpected stressors because your wedding is the only one I will schedule that day. The ceremony and photography times can be changed for the best weather conditions as long as it’s within daylight hours. After using our dressing areas, your venue activity time begins when your ceremony actually begins. Naturally, there’s an average time expectation, but there’s less pressure when unexpected things happen so you won’t feel as if you’re constantly checking the clock. The only thing we have to worry about is when the sun sets. Our elopement packages are priced both with and without our photography, so you’ll be able to use the photographer of your choice. All images on our website were created by either myself or my daughter-in-law, Sierra, unless specifically noted.

Watch our Video Venue Tour 

Our packages are priced fairly per person for wedding guests, and the count can be modified before making your last payment. (Some peak wedding dates have a guest count minimum.) Anyone of walking age (except the two of you) is considered a guest and the fee accounts for the extra venue, dressing area & photography time needed, staff & resources, and environmental impact on our grounds. Ask me for a sample timeline and wedding quote to see how well I will care for everyone.

After booking the excitement rises until your wedding day! I’ll work with you from start to finish, taking care of as much as possible so you can simply relax & make memories.

Relax and focus entirely on the excitement of marrying your sweetheart! The images in the gallery above highlight the Creekside Ridge ceremony site. View all of our photo galleries to see where more of your images might be created. After your ceremony, I’ll make time for family group photos and three more sites on our lower grounds.  You may also add photography adventures with our horses, waterfall, or the mountain view site. All images on our website and social media pages were created by Regina or Sierra unless specifically indicated otherwise.

Imagine walking across a beautiful arched bridge with a babbling brook below it. Water splashes on the rocks at a tiny pond as you turn to walk down the aisle. Towering trees grace the ridge behind a wooden arbor. Dogwood trees bloom in mid-April here, followed by purple rhododendron in early May and lilies in June. Pots of colorful impatiens sit at the base of the arbor from April through early October, followed by pansies through the winter. The ceremony site has permanent log benches that seat up to 50 wedding guests. Your family and friends will be delighted with the beautiful nature surrounding them! Consider having dinner with everyone at a local restaurant like the Old Mill or the Appalachian after the wedding. Add a wedding cake to take with you, and all your wedding ideas are fulfilled without spending tens of thousands of dollars on a large wedding with reception.

As magical as this ceremony site is, you can actually use any of our ceremony areas on the lower grounds as long as it accommodates all your guests I love to meet with you the day before to give a venue tour and go over all the details, so this is when you’ll choose where to get married. In addition to the wooden arbor we have a willow tree, covered pavilion, and an indoor chapel upstairs.

Our venue is best described as a huge photography studio with a bonus wedding ceremony. We can adjust the ceremony time for better weather as long as it’s within daylight hours. The stone arch is also a popular location for wedding photographs whether you get married there or not. If it rains all day, we can easily use one of our covered or indoor areas for ceremony and photos.

I like to check in often while your hair and makeup is being done and take care of little things that might arise. I keep a few things on hand you might have forgotten like eyelash glue or bobby pins. I truly enjoy the extra time to get to know you and hear your love story. While you’re preparing to walk down the aisle, this is great time for either me or your photographer of choice to capture images of your dress, the rings, the bouquet, and the two of you getting ready.
