Weddings & Honeymoons
Plan Smoky Mountain weddings and honeymoons in Pigeon Forge. While a Tennessee marriage license is required, blood tests are not, and there's no waiting period to obtain a license. And with so much for visitors to see and do, Pigeon Forge has become one of the top spots in the Southeast for honeymooners.
There are a variety of Pigeon Forge wedding chapels - each with its own unique personality. Several are conveniently located in town, while others can be found tucked into romantic mountain settings. Wedding services are available year round, and while "walk-in" weddings are possible, it's wise to make reservations at the chapel of your choice prior to arriving.
Lodging options abound in Pigeon Forge. From secluded mountain cabins complete with hot tub, fireplace and beautiful Smoky Mountain scenery, to upscale hotels and plush condominiums along the city's Parkway, you'll have a wide range of Pigeon Forge accommodations from which to choose for your special trip.
