My husband and I got married here 7/31/24, it was amazing! I will start off this review by giving a…read morelittle advice- (this is going to be long winded I am sorry lol) we had to be out of the hotel room by 11, my hair curler stopped working halfway through curling my hair, we fixed that crisis- then had no time left for my makeup so I had to do my it in a rush in my car in the Walgreens parking lot!! Lol... so all of this to tell you I highly recommend either having the chapel do your hair and makeup or making sure you wake up early enough to get it all done because most hotels will make you leave by 11 am! When we arrived at the chapel I was a nervous wreck, the women that work there helped me get into my dress, helped me put my jewelry & shoes on.. helped me every step of the way. I am so grateful for them because without them I do not know how I would've ended up walking down the aisle lol! The venue was beautiful, the reception was amazing and we even got to decorate it ourselves, how we wanted to. My mother & I made our centerpieces, we bought most of the decorations from dollar tree, some came from Amazon. I ordered our party favors from Amazon and put them together myself. Our guest book was custom printed for us it also came from Amazon. I used Spotify playlists on my phone for our ceremony music and reception music and one of the people that worked there played it for us had no issue so no need in spending money on an expensive DJ. ( you just have to be sure you have a headphone jack or an adapter for one/ these are cheap I got ours from Walmart the day before for 10 dollars) I can't recommend this chapel enough. Angel's view is the place to go whether you're wanting a bigger wedding or a small elopement package! They are so friendly, helpful & professional. We opted to do a custom plan- 25 guests, photography, and video, 2 hour long reception with finger foods cheese fruits and veggies salsa & chips etc, a beautiful decorated custom 2 tier cake (they put our custom topper on for us that I got from Amazon lol), my bouquet, my husbands boutonnière, our unity candle and memorial candle and I think we ended up spending around 3K on it. Thank you Angel's View!!! *EDIT I also want to add that I originally requested a 40 person guest list. I paid half as a deposit, and then the month before we went ahead and paid the rest- we told them we only had 20 for sure coming so we settled on a 25 person guest list and they lowered the rest of the cost of the wedding- I believe by around 800 dollars! So they do work with you and won't force you to pay for guests that are not going to be there (unless it's within 30 days of the wedding, after the 30 day mark you can't make changes which is perfectly reasonable!) and if more people than expected showed up, you would just pay the fee for that person that day. Again- totally reasonable

Do not use them. And definitely do not use their Pastor. I was not going to post a negative review…read morefor them but their pastor pushed me over the edge. This company is basically a middleman that wants you to pay them and they have their own vendors that you are unable to check out ahead of time. So to make a long story as short as I can, we had already chosen our own pastor ahead of of time, and so did not use their pastor. And my main complaint is that THEIR pastor, who was not involved in our wedding in any way, posted a VERY NASTY comment and LIE, that we didn't like nor pay for our photos. The real story is that they do not clarify the 20-photo package and that THEY choose the 20 photos to send to you. When we wrote a very professional email to Kim explaining that we were very disappointed that we did not receive the photos we hoped to see, and are willing to pay the difference btw the $500 we paid and the extra $200 for the flash drive to get all photos, Kim said she wanted us to be happy and so will send us the flash drive. We first thought this was a nice gesture to resolve the issue. However, after I posted a photo on facebook, their pastor, whom was not our officiant, not involved in our wedding in ANY way, posted the very nasty public comment that he was told we did not like our photos and got them for free. We feel whatever we agreed with Kim was not his business and he had it all wrong. And this is supposed to be a man of God? No thank you. We are so happy we chose our own very professional, wonderful pastor. Kim tries to accommodate brides during the process, however she has a hard time returning emails or phone calls while we are trying to make decisions. Many emails have to go back and forth rather than a more organized way to handle plans. We hired our own caterer, pastor and videographer. While it's a huge help for them to bring tables and chairs, we do not feel $250/ hr is necessary for day of wedding help. The day of the wedding, we paid $250/ hr for them to come decorate/ set up but my friend did most of the work already. The wedding coordinator forgot to hand me my flowers, therefore I walked down without them so no help there. Mostly, this is about the fact that it is just easier and best to pick your own vendors. They did have a great dj that we were happy with. But thank goodness we picked our own Pastor. Find a beautiful cabin, hire someone to drop off tables and chairs and hire your own pastor, photographer, caterer and videographer. That way there is no middle man charging you extra fees and you know who your vendors are. And Pastor Buddy, how can you call yourself a pastor. My wedding was none of your business. Shame on you.

My lady and I live in the heart of England, many thousands of miles from Smokey Mountain Weddings…read more We chose Pastor Buddy's team to help us cement our union based upon his web-site, a couple of phone calls and some emails. We could not have asked for a more professional, friendly and smooth ceremony. Our big day in front of Cataract Falls was superb. Managed superbly by Pastor Buddy's joyous team. Our travel plans meant we had to leave Pigeon Forge the next day and head for part two of our "grand tour" (Nashville) but a visit to Smokey Mountain Wedding HQ on route was a a pleasure because the photographer had pulled out more stops to get our photographs ready. Ang they were excellent. Have I forgotten anything? Nope. I don't think so. A brilliant day, leading to marriage to a brilliant lady. Did I mention the date? August 19th 2004. Every moment of the day is like it was yesterday. We could not have improved it in any way. And we still have the flowers preserved, and the photos on display. Of course the Marriage Certificate from the County of Sevier takes pride of place in our entrance hall. If you want a wedding ceremony that will live in your heart forever, head to Smokey Mountain Weddings. Graham Wood, England.

Buyers beware. This place totally bungled my wedding. Let's start at the top. As the bride, my mom,…read moremaid of honor and I arrived a short time early to get changed and such and were denied access to the facility despite no weddings occurring prior to mine. That's fine - so we waited. We went through the ceremony and all was fine until the photographer finished and asked us to pick up our own wedding petals despite paying for cleaning in my package. Imagine squatting to pick up pedals in a wedding gown, so we asked the children in attendance to do it. After the wedding, we were rushed out of the chapel and as the bride and groom could not even change into our normal clothing at the facilities. We had to go to a restaurant to change our clothes. That is ridiculous. There appeared to be no weddings after mine at the chapel and the staff left as soon as we did. We were basically then tracked down in the parking lot and told its customary to tip everyone. We did not have cash and had to borrow cash from a guest even despite the huge amount of money spent at this place to be rushed about the whole time. I found out after the fact that my wedding guests were made to wait OUTSIDE in mid-November on a cold day (including my 7 month old and 3 year old nieces). My other guests needed to use the bathroom, but had to LEAVE the facilities to relieve themselves. In addition, I purchased the full photo package and rights to download the photos. It is over a month later and I still cannot do so. I did not receive the link to download for several weeks. Then when I received access the photos were watermarked. Now that that is resolved, the web site is attempting to charge me $20 per download. I am trying to print the photos and give them as Christmas gifts. When I called to 1) resolve this matter and 2) give the rest of this feedback, the staff were extremely rude to me stating how much positive feedback they have received verses LISTENING to my frustrations. I asked for an ETA to resolve the issue when the phone call ended. Then I received a callback from Maureen chastising me for the phone conversation with her employee. She proceeds to yell at me - not even asking for my side of the story and how the conversation went. Then she HANGS UP on me and will not take my calls. So I am out HUNDREDS of dollars on photos I have already paid for an NOT RECEIVED. Do yourself a favor and pick a more reputable and professional chapel. This chapel ruined what should have been a lovely day for my family and I. Not to mention the exorbitant amount of money I spent in total.
