About this venue
Chapel in the Hollow is a quaint, mini Smoky Mountain wedding chapel and is a family owned and operated business — by Ian and Chastidyi. You will speak with one of us each time you email or call, and we will do our best to make you feel at home in our little slice of heaven. This sweet little chapel is on a piece of private property near Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge which means you get to enjoy the best part of the Smokies without having to deal with tourists, strangers, permits, or government regulations. This is an outdoor only wedding venue for your ceremony, and we have a bridal suite for the couple to use to change.

Beautiful Venue
From beginning to end, the team at Chapel in the Hollow made our elopement wedding exactly as we had dreamed. Ian and Chastidyi were quick, professional and thorough in their communication, ensuring every detail was taken care of. The chapel itself was beautifully decorated, creating a serene and picturesque setting that felt truly romantic. With its peaceful surroundings, the location provided an intimate and personal experience that was perfect for just the two of us. Curtis and I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue or attentive staff to make our special day so special.

Perfect Wedding Day
Everyone at Chapel in The Hollow made us feel so comfortable and made our day perfect. It was all so effortless and easy. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting for a wedding. From the chapel, to the benches, to the archway, decorations, and photo op areas; everything is perfectly aesthetic for a rustic wedding. The new getting ready room has the perfect lighting for some of the most beautiful pictures, no matter the weather. We are so happy to have found Chapel in the Hollow and have been and will absolutely continue to recommend them in the future.

My husband and I cannot stop talking about how perfect everything was for us at The Chapel in the Hollow! We opted for the coordinator (Sabrina with Custom Love Gifts) and she made everything so easy! We also added on photography a little later and Chastidyi was an amazing choice. We are both awkward with pictures but she made us feel super comfortable and we got some amazing shots! Everything was quick and efficient without feeling rushed. If we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing! Highly recommend, and thank you for a day we will never forget ❤️

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer and venue! ❤️ From start to finish, the entire experience was amazing. Chastidyi paid attention to every little detail and captured so many beautiful moments that we’ll get to cherish forever. She is very fun, friendly, and easy to work with, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable (it felt like we became friends quickly over our shared love of reading) and helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. On top of everything, the turnaround time for the pictures was incredible! Our photos were beautifully edited and back to us so quickly, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. We arrived to the chapel and everything was already decorated and ready to go! (They have plenty of beautiful choices for decor) The whole process was stress free and affordable for those who are either wanting to just tie the knot or have a little bit of family/friends to be there to celebrate the big day! If you’re looking a beautiful venue or a photographer who is talented, professional, personable, detail-oriented, and truly passionate about what they do, look no further! We would recommend them a thousand times over. Thank you for capturing our special day so perfectly and giving us memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime! 📸💍❤️⛰️
Chapel in the Hollow•Oct 15, 2026Noelle, thank you so much for this incredibly sweet review!! ❤️ I had such a great time with you both, and you know you've found your kind of people when you can bond over books in the middle of a wedding day! 😂📚 I'm so happy you felt comfortable and had fun during photos. That's always one of my biggest goals because I want your pictures to look and feel like you, not like you spent the whole time awkwardly posing for a camera. And I'm thrilled that you love your gallery! I know how exciting it is to get those wedding photos back, so I try not to keep anyone waiting too long. 🥰📸 It also makes us so happy to hear that you appreciated having everything decorated and ready when you arrived. We love giving couples lots of ways to personalize our little chapel in the woods without having to deal with all the stress (or expense!) of putting everything together themselves. Thank you for choosing Chapel in the Hollow for your Smoky Mountain wedding and for taking the time to share such a thoughtful recommendation. We loved having you here, and I hope our paths cross again someday—preferably with more book recommendations! 😉❤️🌿
