BUDGET ELOPEMENTS
Honeysuckle Hills Budget Elopements

Budget elopements are popular at Honeysuckle Hills because they save money and reduce the stress associated with planning. Our private venue with friendly staff, charming ceremony & photo sites, and a back-up plan for rain makes getting married easy! Our venue is wedding ready, meaning you won’t have to lift a finger to decorate. Budget weddings have a set arrival and exit time, and we do more than one of these packages per day (but not at the same time.)
Keep in mind our venue has beautiful gardens and diverse settings, fostering an environment to “stop and smell the roses.” That said, choose a package with the most amount of time your budget allows. Time, rather than guest counts, is the most important thing to consider. The true value of a wedding is the experience and love shared within it, rather than a hurried race toward completion. It’s a joy for me to help you, so please share your ideas with me and I’ll recommend a selection based on my 19 years of experience planning weddings here.
Choose our “Simply I Do” package if simplicity and spending the least amount of money is most important. Choose one of our Mini Weddings that matches the time for your goals if photography or spending time guests is a priority. In addition to more time, minis offer a place to get dressed and the tradition of walking down the aisle to music.
Each package gives an average expectation of the pace of events based on your guest count. Wait to add pictures to your mini wedding with our horses running & approaching until the day of since it is subject to weather. There is never a charge for horses in the background only. Speaking of rain, we have covered outdoor and enclosed indoor areas for both the ceremony and photography.
Packages progressiviely offer more time and amenities. We also offer luxury elopements which are the only weddings booked for the day. (We do more than one budget elopement daily, but not at the same time.)
Simply I Do
Leisurely pace for couples with simple goals
Brisk Pace when any guests are added (max of 4)
$399 to $699
Discounts for last minute openings, Military & First Responders
Simply I Do is our most affordable wedding package covering the basics. While it’s only a taste of what’s possible here, for many it’s the perfect mix of affordability and time. Most ceremonies for this budget wedding last no longer than five minutes since you arrive dressed and ready. However, we’re also pleased to arrange a more traditional walk down the aisle to music. Most couples who choose this package keep the ceremony short & sweet in order to get the most photo time afterward, whether they use our photographer, their own, or a family friend. Our venue is unique with its abundance of beautiful scenery. Couples who choose not have professional photography often spend the remaining time after the ceremony exploring our grounds while holding hands and listening to the creek and birdsong. The four guest maximum is a courtesy rather than a recommendation, so resist the urge to squeeze too much in this shorter time frame. Our packages progressively offer more time and amenities, so if this one doesn’t quite fit, keep exploring or text me (Regina) for help.
Mini Wedding Intimate Touch
Intimacy & Creative Photos for Couples Only
Brisk, Goal Oriented Pace for 5 to 10 guests
$1175-$1675
Discounts for Military & First Responders
The intimacy of this package makes it our most booked package for couples only because it offers more time for photography, a place to get dressed, and the traditional experience of walking down the aisle. Our mountain view sites are only a one-minute drive from the main grounds, but this package offers the time to combine the view AND a few photos in the landscape on the main grounds. For the most variety, get married and have all the photos on our main grounds (especially if you book it for the max 10 guest count) since there are so many places to choose from. (A creek, water wheel, rustic chandelier, gardens, an old Ford truck, a swing in a tree, a weeping willow, and two unique bridges!) Naturally, the fewer guests you have the more time is available for photos in more locations.
Mini Wedding Plus
Leisurely pace for 15 guests or less
Brisk, Goal Oriented Pace for 16-25 guests
$1675-$2425
Discounts for Military & First Responders
This package is popular for couples with a few more family & friends. It satisfies your family’s desire for group photos without sacrificing too much of your own photo time. Many couples with no guests at all choose this package simply to have more time divided between our mountain view and the main grounds. (Holy smokes we have a lot of stunning backdrops!) Whichever package you choose, remember that all your ideas simply must be done within the time included. Every couple is unique, so don’t hesitate to ask me for a sample itinerary or advice about which package works best for your vision.
Mini Wedding Deluxe
Leisurely pace for up to 30 guests
High-energy, Goal Oriented Pace for 40 guests
$2175-$3425
Discounts for Military / First Responders
This package works well for couples planning a family reunion style wedding in the Smokies. If you have more than 25 guests, you’ll appreciate the extra time for a longer ceremony, more family group photos, a first dance, or even a cake-cutting photo. No one ever wants to leave our beautiful venue, so it’s actually common for smaller guest counts to book this package, too. If photography is your priority, the option with our professional photographer starts 30 minutes prior to the ceremony for getting ready images instead of when the ceremony starts. There’s a full hour of dressing room time to change clothes before the ceremony, too.
Regina’s Favorite Local Photographers
If the price or style of photography represented on our website and socials are not your perfect cup of tea, consider these incredible artists and reach out to them for their specific pricing. Most even offer video with their photography packages! All have provided the liability insurance required for photos with our horses running & approaching close enough to touch.
Honeysuckle Hills was created for photographers by a photographer with over twenty years of artistic endeavors behind her (Yep, that’s me, Regina!) All the photographers listed have photographed at our venue often and we stand by their professional skills, knowledge of light, and customer service.
