Chapel At The Park

I just had my wedding at Chapel at the Park a week ago. It was perfect. :) I still have 1 year of college left and my husband is a few years older than me and we didn't want an expensive over the top wedding. We wanted something intimate and small. We had a ceremony only wedding with up to 40 guests. There was a wedding right before mine and when I arrived their guests and them were still there. However, I was taken up a seperate path and never saw anyone else. I was not rushed. I was mailed the timeline of the wedding a few weeks in advance so I knew what to expect. The minister came in to speak with me and told me exactly how the wedding would proceed. Then the photographer came in and took my pictures..she even took the time to take some of me with my stepmom and mother. The hostess came and got me after my husband left and she made sure he could not see me at all before I came out..and the minister gave a BEAUTIFUL ceremony. It was amazing. We had our wedding outdoors and it was beyond gorgeous. I could not have pictured anything prettier. We only had around 33 guests so they only sat out 35 chairs so that our pictures would look full. My pictures were wonderful. And the minister made sure we said our vows with the microphone so that the person video taping would be able to hear them. I could not have been more pleased. I would recommend this to anyone who wanted to have a pretty outdoor wedding. The packages are affordable and we definately couldn't have gotten what we had for a better price anywhere else. I couldn't believe any of those negative comments I read, I do believe that the chapel prepares you in everyway to understand the timeline and the importance of being on time. My coordinator, Bobbi, was amazing. I cannot say enough good things about the chapel. I would not change a thing about my wedding day. It was the best. All I had to do was select a color and flowers and everything else was taken care of it...and it was all beautiful. Pros: everything is taken care of more

My wedding was three weeks ago and we are still talking about how nice everything was. So i thought I would share it with you here. Ron and I picked the Cinderella three day wedding event. (I was going from daddy's princess to Ron's Princess). My guests and I arrived Friday evening for a get together social. It was a deli night theme with red checker-table cloths and the works. They even had a make your own sundae bar so we could all create our own dessert creations. Pros: I did not have to do a thing but enjoy Cons: I was exhausted - but happy more

I was finishing up my last semester this yearat NCU so I had to leave all the planning to the Chapel at the Park staff. I picked my colors and cake and flowers on line with Rhonda's help and that was the extent of my available time. Two days after graduation we arrived in Gatlinburg with our 40 guests to the most beautiful chapel in town. Pros: Great price great people Cons: you won't want to leave more

We had booked a medium priced wedding and were not sure what we would get when we arrived. Living in Ohio we had done everything by email and phone. The chapel was beautful, the grounds were stunning and the staff was very friendly. Everyon was so nice that I felt awful when I read the JLaCourse review. We arrived on time as asked and we never felt rushed and our 50 guests could not believe how nice it was. We are delighted with our portraits and video. We had an outdoor wedding and still can not believe how much we got for our money. After our wedding we had a few days in town and looked at some other chapels. We sure made the right choice. A+++++ Thanks Susan and Thomas Pros: Beautiful secluded and professional more

They only give you a few minutes between each wedding so if you are late you are in trouble. We didn't realize how heavy the traffic would be on Saturday. (Friday was light and we timed ourselves) When we got to the Chapel the people were hateful and yelling at us and made my daughter who was getting married cry. She cried through the entire wedding. They don't want you to come 15 minutes early or you'll run into another wedding and god help you if you get there late. It was a nightmare and everyone in the wedding party and the guests were mad because of the way they were treated. They need at least an hour between each wedding just in case people get caught up in the vacation traffic. If I had to have another wedding here, I would have it on a Sunday. Only one wedding per day on Sunday, but of course it cost more. Pros: They have an excellent package for the price Cons: The people were hateful and rude more

Pros: Full service, friendly staff, photography, food, ambience more

The people were very bossy and all business. They were not pleasant to the wedding party and simply barked orders. In all they were not friendly. The started cleaning while the guests were still present and the minister was addressing them. In addition, the photographer had a bad disposition and took terrible photos. Over 200 photos were taken and only a handful were decent. Most photos were too dark, too light, incorrectly proportioned, or blurry. These people are all business and do not care about pleasing their customers. They don't seem to have an interest in doing a good job. If things go poorly what are you going to do, get married again? Cons: many more
