Shuttle

Shuttle from the Parking Area to the Venue

March 14, 2026 3:00 pm - 11:00 pm

There's limited parking at the venue due it being located on the side of the mountain, and the road going up the venue is extremely steep (up to a 20% grade!). Due to these factors, all wedding guests must park in the designated parking area at the bottom of the mountain. A shuttle service will be available for transportation between the parking area and the venue. The address of the parking area is 509 Mill Creek Rd. Pigeon Forge, TN 37863.

Travel Note

While Uber and Lyfts are present in the Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg area, these platforms are unreliable, so it's not recommended to depend on these services or else you may find yourself not able to get a ride.
