The Simply I Do package at Honeysuckle Hills is perfect for couples who want a beautiful, private setting to get married on a budget. This package has a high emphasis on simplicity and your commitment to each other. Even though it’s our cheapest wedding package, we still treat you with loving care. Thank you for getting married or renewing your vows with us in the Smoky Mountains! We’ll make this quick and easy for you. Our venue is always wedding ready with peaceful surroundings, multiple ceremony sites, and covered and indoor areas in case it rains. If your main goal is to keep the price as low as possible, choose the option without professional photography. Your officiant is happy to take a few snapshots with your cell phone after the ceremony or even put your phone on a tripod to video. This package was created for couples only, but flexible for a maximum of four guests.
You’ll all arrive dressed and ready to go with this package, and we’ll guide you to your ceremony site after asking for your marriage license. If it rains, we have covered and indoor options. If you don’t want to see your sweetheart before the ceremony, want to get dressed on site, or if you want the traditional walking down the aisle with ceremony music, consider our mini wedding or a luxury elopement instead. We literally have a wedding package for a variety of needs and circumstances.
The number one reason couples come to Honeysuckle Hills is for our 18-year reputation for creative, true to color photography. If you want images of higher quality than your cell phone, but not a full-blown photography session all over our grounds, choose this package with our photography. It includes ALL of the images in high resolution (via download from your on-line gallery) with a copyright release to print on your own. While there’s a much shorter time period for photos than with our mini wedding or luxury elopement, we take advantage of every second available in the area immediately surrounding your ceremony site. If you’d like pictures with our old truck, booking this package with our photographer is required, and it’s the only spot we’ll be able to use because opening the gate and feeding the horses at a safe distance takes up a large percentage of your photo time. If you choose the mountain view ceremony site, ALL images must be done at that location. If it rains, we’ll use areas like the chapel, balcony and under the chandelier for your ceremony and photos instead.
I often officiate your ceremony myself as a TN Notary and welcome all people and all loving relationships, including same sex weddings. Abi, one of our lovely coordinators, is also a TN Notary and officiates weddings of all faiths. Legendary county official Phil King can be requested for Christian, faith-based ceremonies along with Pastor Jody (aka The Mountain Preacher.) We’re all local, born and raised right here in the Smoky Mountains! Well, all except Abi… she’s one of those d**n yankees from upstate New York, but since she’s sweeter than a pot of honey I think she’s earned her right to claim these mountains as home. My daughter-in-law, Sierra, doesn’t officiate but she is a well-known photographer here.
Be sure you mention if you’re active or retired military or first responder, because I’ll give you an appreciation discount on your wedding package. I have a deep respect for your service because my son is a local firefighter and Phil King has served the community as a deputy sheriff and county official practically since the day he was born.
This package can be booked for any of our lovely ceremony sites. Because it fills our last-minute openings, availability varies by season.
