Choose a Wedding Chapel in Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Gatlinburg, Tennessee - second only to Las Vegas for the number of weddings that take place each year is a romantic destination at the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Because of the number of wedding chapels in Gatlinburg and the variety of services each offers, choosing a wedding chapel can be a daunting experience.

Steps

 * 1)  Determine the budget for your wedding. There is nothing worse than putting together a package that makes up your dream wedding only to find out you cannot afford it.
 * 2)  Visit several wedding chapels in person if you can. If you cannot visit in person, check them out online. There are several good resources for finding wedding chapels online.
 * 3)  Use Google to search for chapel sites. "Gatlinburg wedding chapel" will turn up a great list.
 * 4)  Speak with the wedding coordinator about important items such as the number of guests the chapel can handle, photography, reception planning, wedding cakes, flowers and lodging.
 * 5)  A video memento of your wedding will be important to you later. Be sure to ask if they offer videos
 * 6)  Look into other options than wedding chapels.  Some venues offer all-inclusive packages that would appeal to families and friends who could combine a wedding, vacation, family reunion, etc.  These days brides are wanting more than just a 15 minute chapel ceremony and 20 4x6 prints.  They want an experience to remember... great photography, pampering, time to relax and enjoy, family time, great food and entertainment.
 * 7)  Make sure that the wedding facility you choose has a website that accurately reflects what they do.  Quite a few wedding websites include photos that were taken elsewhere.
 * 8)  Do the research, visit the facility, ask a lot of questions, and go where you feel comfortable with the management.
