Gatlinburg Ministers and Officiants

We work with a few select local ordained ministers who provide heartfelt wedding ceremonies and truly care about the couples they marry. You can request a Christian based, traditional ceremony or a non-religous, civil ceremony. Most special requests are handled by our office, but you're welcome to reach out to your scheduled minister if you'd like to. The church ordained ministers we work with are generally assistant pastors, youth pastors or retired from pastoring their own church. Your officiant will return your completed marriage license to the clerks office at the courthouse. We can provide an officiant for same sex weddings. Please contact our office if you have any questions about who we can have officiate your wedding ceremony. If we don't have a staff minister who can accommodate your request, we'll be happy to recommend someone who can.
