Hello. I just wanted to write a quick email to thank you for all you did to make my wedding day special. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding. I had heard horror stories about weddings down there about people being rushed and feeling like they were just another wedding. You guys made me feel important! The minister was amazing. He made it feel personal even though he only met us ten minutes before that. The flowers were beautiful! Everything was better than I could have imagined! I also am so thankful for the ride home after the bridesmaids took off with my keys :) I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated everything!

Thanks Again,
Jenna and Dave

It rarely needs to be pointed out that the mountains of Gatlinburg and many of its surrounding elements offer that perfect, special backdrop that seperates a good wedding from a magical wedding, but it does need to be pointed out that while many wedding places in the Smokies offer the mountain backdrop, few will give you the majestic river we can offer your day of holy matrimony!

Above the Mist, in conjunction with River Adventure Lodge, is now offering a special package that includes a 2 night stay with the River Adventure Lodge, which means you pretty have the honeymoon included! The full offer looks like this:

Brides who marry at Above the Mist are among the happiest who come to Gatlinburg and the Smokies to marry. Our coordinators take the time to personalize each wedding according to the dreams of the couple so that your wedding day will be the most memorable days of your lives together.

Here is just one of the many thank you letters we receive from the special couples we have the blessing of working with.

Hey everyone!

First of all, I want to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for giving me the most beautiful wedding ever. My family & my husband's family all say it was the sweetest, most fun & most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. Everything turned out so well & it definately was a dream come true for me. I can't thank you enough for doing all that you did.

Second of all, I want to say the pictures turned out better than I had hoped. There are so many I want to order. And that is where my question comes in. How long will the photos be available on the SmugMug web site? I won't be able to order all the ones I want at the same time (frankly I want them all!! Julie is the best!!)

Thanks again for making my day so memorable.
