5 Reasons to Consider Destination Weddings in Pigeon Forge

The thought of destination weddings often conjures up exotic faraway places like Bali, Jamaica, and Hawaii. However, destination weddings in the Smoky Mountains, are really a thing and should be considered when planning your destination wedding. I mean, why not? Tennessee has some of the most beautiful mountains with miles of rolling hills and forestry. But that’s not all! Here are 5 reasons why I think you should consider having your destination in Pigeon Forge.

Reason #1 – Quick & Easy Travel to Your Destination Wedding

Local travel to East Tennessee is quick and easy for all US domestic flights and is convenient for guests from all states. This makes it easy for your family members to attend your wedding, and it’s a place they will actually want to visit. Most major and economy airlines provide services to the airport in Knoxville. The Knoxville airport is only a forty-minute drive East of Pigeon Forge. Furthermore, depending on where you are traveling from, you might be able to just drive to Pigeon Forge.

Reason #2 – Family Activities

Do you think you are old and have already had all the fun you would have as an adult? I did but let me let you in on a little secret. The Outdoor Gravity Park is the MOST FUN YOU WILL HAVE AS AN ADULT. When I went we actually fit four people in the zorb which is a big plastic big ball that has a hollowed out center that you sit in. You choose which one of four courses you want to go down (we did them all) they drop in just enough water for you to slip and slide inside the ball and then roll you down the hill. Once you start going you really don’t know what to expect but let me tell you, you will laugh all the way down the hill and you will talk about it for years. This one truly belongs on the ole bucket list!

For the less adventurous folks, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are very well known for their wealth of other safe family activities such as a slow hike in the mountains, shopping at the local craft market or outlets or even Zip Lining or horseback riding through the forest. You certainly will not run out of things to do in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and Pigeon Forge.

Reason #3 – Pigeon Forge Eatery

Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg as very well known for their wealth of safe family activities. When you drive in to Pigeon Forge you will find an many restaurants, weather you want a fine dining experience or something fast, there is a place for you.
