Flight

The closest commercial airport to Sevierville is McGhee Tyson Airport in Alcoa, Tennessee, just 12 miles south of Knoxville. This small, friendly, and supremely easy-to-navigate airport is roughly 40 miles from downtown Gatlinburg, shaking out to a little more than an hour’s drive depending on traffic. McGhee Tyson Airport is currently served by five airlines: Allegiant Air, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, and United Airlines.

Rental Car

Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Renting a car is the best way to explore the area at your own pace, giving you the flexibility to visit local attractions, restaurants, and more. However, if you plan to stay at one of our hotel blocks, a shuttle will be available to take you to and from the wedding venue, so a rental car may not be necessary. Choose what works best for you—we’re just excited to celebrate with you!
