A smaller ceremony can still feel like a big moment.
Cabins, backyards, overlooks, intimate venues and just-the-two-of-you ceremonies all have one thing in common: you can keep the planning focused on what matters.
East Tennessee elopement officiant
East Tennessee makes it easy to imagine a small wedding: mountain cabins, scenic areas, parks, private property, rental homes and intimate venues are all common settings. Tennessee Hitching Co. provides the officiant piece so you can keep the day simple.
Good fits for this service
- Just the couple plus a photographer.
- A few family members at a cabin or private home.
- A short-notice ceremony when plans changed.
- A simple legal ceremony now with a larger celebration later.
- Destination couples staying in the Knoxville or Smoky Mountains region.
Before choosing an outdoor location
Confirm that your chosen location allows ceremonies, parking, photography and any decorations you plan to bring. Public lands, parks, rental properties and venues may have their own permit or use rules. The couple is responsible for securing permission for the site.
Keep the ceremony simple
You do not need a long script to make a ceremony meaningful. A short opening, statement of intent, vows, optional ring exchange and pronouncement can create a complete ceremony in just a few minutes.
