Eloping in Gatlinburg, Tennessee typically costs between $1,275 and $2,975 for an all-inclusive package — a fraction of the $30,000+ average traditional Gatlinburg wedding. Our Gatlinburg elopement packages bundle the venue, professional photography, a licensed Tennessee officiant, ceremony coordination, and complete marriage license guidance into a single flat price. There are no setup fees, no hidden or required add-on fees, and no minimum guest counts. Below is the full breakdown of what shapes Gatlinburg elopement cost in 2026.
What's included in a Gatlinburg elopement package
Every Elopements Inc. package in Gatlinburg includes the venue and any required permits, professional photography (with edited high-resolution images), a licensed Tennessee officiant, ceremony coordination, vow assistance, and step-by-step marriage license guidance. Larger packages add videography, longer coverage hours, additional venues, and more guests.
Gatlinburg elopement package price ranges
Our smallest Gatlinburg package, "Getaway Plus", starts at $1,275 and covers a complete ceremony with photography in 1 hour. Our largest, "Friends and Family Plus", reaches $2,975, runs 3 hours, and accommodates up to 20 guests with extended photography and optional videography. Guest limits vary by venue within Gatlinburg — each venue page lists its own maximum.
Marriage license cost in Tennessee
The Tennessee marriage license itself costs $100 and is paid directly to the county clerk's office, not to Elopements Inc. Tennessee has no waiting period — you can apply for the license and elope on the same day.
Gatlinburg elopement vs traditional wedding cost
According to The Knot, the average traditional wedding in Tennessee costs $30,000–$45,000 with 100+ guests, 12–18 months of planning, and 10–15 vendors to coordinate. An all-inclusive Gatlinburg elopement with Elopements Inc. costs $1,275–$2,975, takes 6–12 weeks to plan, and has zero vendors for you to manage — we handle them all.
Important
The marriage license fee is paid directly to the county at the time of application — not to Elopements Inc. The application has to be completed by the couple; we cannot obtain the license on your behalf. In Tennessee, Georgia, and Arizona both partners apply in person at the county clerk's office. In Charleston County, South Carolina, the entire application is online. We walk every couple through the process step by step (where to apply, what to bring, when to go), but the application itself has to be completed by the two of you.

No. The Tennessee marriage license costs $100 and is paid directly to the Sevier County Clerk's Office (Sevierville, ~15 min from Gatlinburg) — never to Elopements Inc. Tennessee has no waiting period, so you can apply and marry the same day. Your package price covers everything we provide; the license fee is the county's.
Our lowest-priced Gatlinburg option is the Getaway Plus package at Foothills Parkway — $1,275 for up to 1 hour with up to 10 guests and 100-150 photos. It still includes the venue, permits, officiant, and photographer. Weekday and winter dates have the widest availability at every Gatlinburg venue.
No hidden or required add-on fees — the package price is the price. Optional extras are available if you want them, such as videography from $675 and RAW image files from $200, but nothing is required. The only outside cost is the $100 marriage license, paid to the clerk.
Guest limits vary by venue and package in Gatlinburg. The smallest tier is capped at 10 guests and the largest — Friends and Family Plus at Willow Ridge, $2,975 — holds up to 20 guests. Larger guest counts move you up a tier rather than adding a per-person fee.
