Creekside Ridge Wooden Arbor

An outdoor ceremony site for 50 guests
Max capacity 75

Our Creekside Ridge ceremony site is located on the main grounds only a minute and a half’s trek from the barn’s exit. It’s basically in the middle of our landscaped five-acres. Imagine gliding across a beautiful bridge while the sounds of the creek and a little pond waterfall soothe you. Your guests will never forget your walk down the aisle! The unique architecture of this arbor lends itself to western style and fairy-tale themed weddings alike.
Permanent log benches seat between 50 and 75 wedding guests here, making it the perfect place for a wedding with family and friends in the Smokies. There’s plenty of room for everyone to spread out comfortably. The long bridge leading to this site is a favorite location for photographers to capture a large family group photo.

A Ling’s Moments garland with white and green flowers is in the top center of the wooden arbor. If you book one of our luxury elopements or a wedding reception, we will add any silk flowers that you bring personally.  We also have small wooden boxes with silk eucalyptus and white flowers to place on top of the stumps that line the aisle. In October many couples bring extra pumpkins and silk fall leaves for the aisle as well.
This ceremony site is most popular in early April through mid-May. Dogwoods bloom first somewhere between April 1st and the 20th. The large, purple rhododendron bushes bloom next for a few weeks in early May. Lilies bloom in June, followed by pink wind flowers in August and September. There are always pots of annual flowers in the center of the arbor from spring to fall. White goosenecks bloom near the willow tree bridge in June, followed by native asters in September.

The ridge immediately behind the arbor turns golden in color in the fall. While challenging to predict, the best chance for peak fall color is the third and fourth week of October, and sometimes even the first week or two in November. We locals call it the “leaf lottery” because of the unpredictable weather and temperature variations prior to the color change.
