As a Gatlinburg wedding photographer I don’t see enough Appalachian Clubhouse wedding days. Which is such a shame because this venue is perfect for larger elopements, and it has a perfect location in the Smokies. The Appalachian Clubhouse is rich in beautiful views, but this venue isn’t going to break the bank!
Location
The Appalachian Clubhouse is a 3,000-square-foot facility located in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, just south of Gatlinburg. Nestled between the Elkmont Trailhead and Jakes Creek Trailhead, it offers a picturesque setting right along Jakes Creek and the Little River, making it an ideal spot for photos and outdoor activities.
Amenities For Your Appalachian Clubhouse Wedding
If you’re considering hosting your wedding at the Appalachian Clubhouse, the rental includes a charming meeting hall featuring French doors and two large stone fireplaces, perfect for a ceremony or reception. The venue is reserved for your use from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and the entire space can be booked for just $310 per day.
In addition, the hall has 12 electrical outlets, 110 folding chairs and tables, as well as a sofa and chairs around the fireplace. A small warming kitchen accommodates catering or other vendors. Accessible bathrooms are in a separate building, about 150 ft away.
Gatlinburg Elopement Photography
Now on to my personal favorite, the photos! I love photographing an Appalachian Clubhouse wedding because there is no end to incredible backdrops here. From lush woods and babbling creeks, to dancing in the cabin with the warm glow of twinkle lights overhead. Every spot is so magical here!
For this location I definitely recommend booking more time with your Gatlinburg photographer for photos. Not only will we want to take advantage of the variety of stunning backdrops, but we can also venture to nearby locations in the park for even more photo opts!
