Weddings

Experience a wedding venue like no other

at Bear Pen Gap Resort!

An open aired cathedral with a waterfall and beautifully landscaped free-form pool. You bask in the glow of the only open-aired cathedral in the Smokies, beautiful cathedral ceiling, with stained glass accents. A beautiful hand crafted stained glass cross and a beautiful glass with the doves of love. The custom designed wrought iron wedding arch, wrought iron candelabras, and wrought iron lanterns add to the uniqueness of the cathedral. Imagine the sun shining through the stained glass and the candle light glowing, the rush of a waterfall, spilling into a beautiful pool, the majestic view of Mt. LeConte as a background, while surrounded by the outdoor beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains.

We hosts weddings from a couple to a 100 guest
