When most people think of having their wedding out of the area they live in

they picture a beach or tropical island setting. Today, more and more couples

are choosing Mountain Weddings.

Mountain

weddings offer a change of pace, stunning settings, fresh air and the

opportunities for gorgeous photographs. A beautiful mountain setting makes for a

spectacular outdoor wedding.

Mountain Wedding Tips

When traveling out of the area to have your wedding -- you should seriously

consider hiring a coordinator! Planning a wedding is a big enough task in

itself. Planning one for a destination location is an even bigger challenge.

Using a professional local wedding planner will save you much time and stress.

Look for a planner that specializes in the area you are getting married in.

They will already know which wedding vendors are of the highest quality and

offer the best pricing. If you can find one -- opt for a wedding package/planning

company that will put together an entire mountain wedding package for you.

A Canadian Rockies Wedding has many attractions, although the appeal for most

couples is the romance of being together, far away from home, relaxing in a

majestic beautiful environment with the promise of much adventure. There are

lots of reasons to chose a Canadian Rockies Wedding - and Banff National Park

being one of them. Banff National Park, in Alberta, is a year round playground

in the Canadian Rockies wilderness, explorable in many modes, by ski, bus, car,

canoe, raft, sleigh to name a few.

The weather in the Canadian Rockies is variable due to the high elevation and

rugged topography. Cool, crisp air and warm days are typical of autumn in the

Canadian Rockies. The summer climate is pleasant with low humidity, warm

temperatures and daylight hours stretching until 11 pm. Winters are spectacular,

clear blue skies and glistening powder snow result in picture postcard views all

over the area. Any time of year is perfect for a Canadian Rockies Wedding!

Smoky Mountain Weddings, by Lakefront Cabins

Couple the beautiful natural chapel of the Smoky Mountains with the

relatively minor requirements for getting married and you understand why a Smoky

Mountain wedding and honeymoon is second in popularity only to Las Vegas.

Couples can be joined in holy matrimony in a chapel, the National Park, or the

privacy of their cottage or cabin.

Experience the most important moment in your lifetime, with your family and

friends right by your side. Why rent an impersonal chapel or banquet hall, when

you can accommodate everyone at your own private 40 acre Smoky Mountain Retreat?

One cabin can handle it all: the ceremony, the reception, the caterers and

dozens of guests. Wedding planners are available to make all of your

arrangements. Save yourself time & money and rent one place that can host the

entire event!

Imagine your wedding party moving out to the 2000 square foot deck to witness

a colorful wrap-around Smoky Mountain Sunset while dancing the night away under

the stars.

There are numerous chapels, cabins and outdoor wedding locations to

accommodate your Smoky Mountain wedding.
