Where to Get your Marriage License for a Gatlinburg Wedding or Elopement
The most frequent question I hear from brides on marriage licenses for a Gatlinburg wedding is:
“Where do I get my marriage license to get married in Gatlinburg"?”
“When do I need to get it to make sure I have plenty of time before my Gatlinburg elopement?”
“How do I go about it securing it before my Smoky Mountain elopement"?
For weddings and Elopements in TN, you’ll need a marriage license from the state of TN. It can be any county in the state if you happen to be from TN or traveling through other counties on your way to Gatlinburg. The most convenient locations for Smoky Mountain Weddings are the Sevier County Clerk. They have three locations. This makes it super easy to get simply eloped in Gatlinburg!

After you receive it, you have 30 days to have your ceremony before it expires. As much as we at Effortless Elopements would love to take care of the paperwork for you, you must go in person and show ID and prove it’s really you that wants to get married. IF you’ve been married before, you’ll also need your divorce decree.
