 Rev. Ed Taylor - Founder of the Ministries
Reverend Ed Taylor has been a  church- ordained minister since 1958.  He was educated at East Tennessee State University, Tennessee Temple University, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth Texas, and received his doctorate from Emanuel University in North Carolina. 
Rev. Taylor is senior minister of Gatlinburg Ministries, a non profit Christian organization established 25 years ago with a mission to uphold traditional family values by conducting marriage ceremonies based on the biblical principle that marriage is a Divine institution. From a small marriage chapel 25 years ago, Rev. Taylor now oversees Gatlinburg's Little Mountain Church Village which includes three chapels, a biblical museum and a 200 seat Christian music concert hall. As a church and marriage enrichment center, we will perform your marriage ceremony regardless of your ability to contribute a donation to the ministry.

  The Ceremony
Each wedding is performed by a duly ordained Christian minister in one of our four "Mountain Replica" chapels, nestled in the beautiful Smoky Mountains. The chapels are decorated with silk flowers and candelabra and have authentic wood-hewn  padded seats to create a unique and intimate setting for your ceremony. Our ch apels, (made world famous by our "Little Mountain Chapel") seat up to 60 people and have dressing rooms for your convenience. Our Bridal Chamber has mirrors and vanity lighting for those last minute touch-ups and a private restroom for your convenience. When you're ready, we escort  you into a comfortable waiting area for your personal rehearsal before entering the chapel.

Our wedding bouquets are included in most of our  packages and can be purchased separately as well. Every bouquet comes with matching groom's boutonnière, saving you money on some of those "hidden cost" items  other facilities  don't tell you about until you arrive for your wedding.
