Gatlinburg's Little Log Wedding Chapel was first constructed in February 1991. It was built by Richard A. Pentecost, a minister from Louiville, KY who had a dream to bring Christian weddings to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Growing up Richard lived in a log cabin with his family and remembered the happy memories he made there and wanted to bring that same feeling of tranquility of the mountains in Gatlinburg that his cabin home provided.

The design of the orignial chapel was built using logs that were constructed using the same style reminiscent of log homes and churches built 100 years ago. Gatlinburg's Little Log Wedding Chapel conveys the same essence and spirit of the mountain region that early settlers to Gatlinburg wished to bring.

Just recently, the chapel was reconstructed in the Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts Community where it could remain remote in a beautiful serene environment surrounded by nature and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The new chapel still maintains the same beautiful log cabin style and charming rustic appeal and is a perfect wedding retreat for smaller, intimate weddings but can accommodate larger, more elaborate weddings as well.

Construction began on the new Gatlinburg wedding chapel in September 2008 and finished construction early May 2009.
