Mountain Valley Wedding Chapel

This was the worst choice I made for the wedding, terrible mistakes made, wedding video is terrible and the pictures are the worst ever!! They were going through staff changes and I know that had some effect on the problems but nothing worse than creating bad memories on one of the most special days of your life..

Mountain Valley Wedding Chapel was wonderful. They were professional, yet very personal with everything. We wanted a more simple approach for our wedding and I'm so glad we chose this particular chapel. Couldn't have been any better!
The pictures and video were great that were provided by the vendor. Our wedding cake came as part of the package and I can honestly say it was the best cake we've ever had. It was exactly like the picture I provided for them and tasted wonderful. Everyone there commented on how good it was.

I'm with Jesse, no where on the web site does it state you can't take your own photos. When I asked why, I was told that it interfers with the video being made. When I asked why didn't their photographer's camera interfer with the video, she walked off without answering. My daughters matron of honor and I were in the bridal dressing room when the photographer walked in an told both of us that we needed to go sit down, it was time for the ceremony to start. She didn't ask if we were with the wedding party, just TOLD us to leave. When my dauther told her that I was walking her down the isle and her mother-in-law to be was her matron of honor, she didn't bother to apologize, just once again walked away. The ceremony was beautiful and the minister was a 10+. I don't think I've ever witnessed a minister perform a more beautiful ceremony. But..............for many this is a speacial moment in their family's life, a moment where they want special photos for memories. Photos of the Best Man putting on the Groom's boutonniere, the mother of the Bride helping her with her dress, the father of the Bride giving his daughter a kiss before giving her away. etc. If you're wanting these types of photos......don't go here! These people, excluding the minister, are very rude. You are herded in like cattle, as you enter, the wedding before you is just walking out the back and as you leave a wedding is walking in on you. Photos outside were impossible because the next wedding guests and party are all outside taking photos. After reading Jesse's comments about her photos and video, I'm dreading seeing my daughters. LOOK FOR ANOTHER CHAPEL!!!!!!

My wedding ceremony was perfect. The website does not do justice for the breathtaking scenery. The photographer did a pretty good job. I thought Amber was very informative and kind. That was until I received by pictures. It was a cheaply printed book with all of the photos orange. I was extremely upset when I received them. I was told by Amber not to be angry about my pictures. AUGHHH!! My entire family cancelled their orders. They still have not refunded by grandma's money. They assure me that all of my photos will be replaced with better quality. I sincerely hope so.

So this was surely on of my dumb moments. I would not recommend this place if you want a special day wedding with memories. First off the web site doesn't state you can't bring a photographer nor will they let your guest take pictures either. The minister actually exchanged words with one of my guest for taking pictures. The minister hardly even look at us while performing the ceremony. They did however allow our photographer/good friend to take pictures outside with us, but as goes the ceremony no go. The DVD quality is awful, our eyes and our guest eyes look black for the first half and then the first three minutes you can't hear anything because the minister forgot to turn the mic on. All of our pictures inside the chapel during the ceremony is from the back and you can only see our back sides. They didn't even get one of us exchanging rings. Amber the manager stated after we got our proofs back that it was our fault for standing to close to each other. So do you wanna know what they did for me since I don't have the pictures I wanted??? NOTHING!!! So brides remember this when choosing a place for a destination wedding be sure to pick a place and asked 10,000 questions before you commit. I promise you, that you will be disappointed at Mountain Valley Wedding Chapel in Pigeon Forge. Tracey though very friendly and helpful and I am sorry to say this but we had 70 pictures total taken 2 of them people had eyes closed, and most of them were the same pose just zoomed in.

i absolutily wood recommend this chaple to anyone planning to get married in pigeon forge it was a beautiful chaple and the outside was a great view. the service was nice as well tracey was very helpfull in picking the right service for our needs. if i was to do it again i would change nothing at all

The venue was absolutely gorgeous. I got married at sunset. I was able to get an appointment the same day I called in. The ceremony was tastefully done. I would recommend this venue to anyone wanting to get married on top of a mountain. The chapel was adorable.

They were wonderful. The wedding planner that they gave me really worked with me and made sure that i was taken care of and that what i wanted for my wedding i got. She made me feel very comfortable to talk with her about any questions that i had during the time we booked them to the day of the wedding. She was even at my wedding as the photographer!!!! So having Moutain Valley Chapel staff help me with my wedding made that day all the more special for me and my husband! I would totally reccommend this to anyone...whether you want a small first wedding or if it's a second chance at marriage for you...this place is perfect and intimate!!

If you are looking for a nice place to get married in Gatlinburg, this place is amazing. They took care of everything! It was beautiful and everything was perfect!
