The Mini Wedding
A Honeysuckle Hills mini wedding is for lovers who have their heart set on more time for photographs in the abundant locations at our venue, have a smaller guest count, no extra personal décor and only need our dressing rooms to change into wedding attire. Honeysuckle Hills is always “wedding ready” with beautiful ceremony & photo sites, two dressing areas, a rain plan, and a welcoming atmosphere. Are you ready to relax and finally get married? Let’s start planning! A mini wedding feels more like a traditional wedding than our Simply I Do package but saves a lot of money since it’s an abbreviated version of our luxury elopement.
The mini wedding was created for couples with a small guest count and no desire to custom decorate or bring things such as favors, guest books, etc. The focus is on a beautiful ceremony enhanced with photography time for the memories. Your wedding director and ceremony officiant is included with a choice of booking either with or without our staff photographer. All the images on our website, unless marked with another photographer’s name, were created by either Regina or Sierra. We welcome all artists with open arms, so by all means choose the photographer who makes your heart sing.
You’ll arrive with hair and makeup complete and use our dressing areas to change into wedding attire. Each mini wedding package has a designated dressing area time based on the anticipated need for that selection. Encourage your guests to arrive when you do, and they can wait and socialize on the grounds until the ceremony starts. No one ever gets bored or wants to leave our beautiful property. It’s essential that everyone arrives on time with this package since there’s a set arrival, ceremony and exit time. We’ll book up to two mini weddings on a given day, but not at the same time.
Choose any of our beautiful ceremony locations you wish. If it rains on your wedding day you’ll be able to use our covered and indoor areas for the ceremony and photos instead, because they’re set up and ready to go all the time. Each permanent wedding arbor has greenery and white flowers, and our venue is decorated in a country chic, cottage garden style. This makes it easy to simply walk in without the stress of decorating on your own. Consider us your wedding zen! If you have a more expansive vision with personal décor, guest books and more, consider our luxury elopement instead. Whichever package you choose, you’re the reason I wake up smiling every day!
Each of the packages has a specified time for the ceremony and wedding photographs. The actual number of beautiful locations you’ll be able to use for photography varies from person to person. If your family group photos take longer, there is less time for pictures of the two of you. The opposite is also true. If you already have a long list of “must have locations” I recommend choosing the Mini Wedding Plus or Deluxe, even if it’s only the two of you because it has more time. This is especially helpful if you choose your ceremony at the mountain view and also want images on our lower grounds where the creek, old truck, willow tree, and flower gardens are located.

Mountain Mini Money Saver
This venue only rental option is exclusively for our mountain view ceremony location which is located on the back side of our 32 acres and is separate from the main venue on our lower grounds.

Renting this location is similar to packages offered by wedding businesses who set up ceremonies at public locations such as Foothills Parkway, Cades Cove, etc.
$400 per hour without ceremony director & chair set up – $600 per hour with ceremony director & chair set up
Add $175 for a ceremony officiant
