This classic elopement package is named for our wooden arbor near the creek and at the base of a tall mountain ridge. It’s perfect for all your family and friends because it provides seating for up to 50 guests, but smaller guest counts love it, too.   A Honeysuckle Hills classic elopement has a stronger emphasis on creative photography. It offers a more relaxing atmosphere, more flexibility and more time for traditional wedding expectations. Your wedding is the only wedding we will schedule that day.

You’ll immediately relax and focus entirely on the excitement of marrying your sweetheart! The images in the gallery above show the Creekside Ridge ceremony site along with photos created during real elopements. View all of our photo galleries to see where more of your images might be created. After your ceremony, we’ll photograph family groups and then use three more stunning spots for images of the two of you together.

This wedding package is popular for large families who visit the Smoky Mountains often. Pigeon Forge is a central gathering place for your guests from all over the U. S. and this package places an emphasis on the family group photos after your ceremony. Imagine walking across a beautiful arched bridge while listening to the creek. 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 wooden arbor from April through early October, followed by mums until winter. This 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 even the Park Grill after the wedding! Add a wedding cake to take with you and your wedding dreams are fulfilled.

If you change your mind, you can actually get married at our willow tree, covered pavilion, or the indoor chapel upstairs (the chapel comfortably seats 40 with maximum chair space for 50). Each classic package has pricing for a variety of guest counts that it accommodates. If your guest count is smaller, our stone arch is yet another possibility.

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. Creekside Ridge 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, I’ll photograph things like your dress, the rings, the bouquet and some images of the two of you getting ready. Unlike our mini-weddings, this package gives you a little wiggle room if things are running late. If your ceremony was scheduled for 4pm, but doesn’t start til 4:30pm, that’s OK.

• Access to two dressing areas 4 hours prior to ceremony.
