My fiance and I are planning to get married in Gatlinburg,TN and I was wondering if there are chapels that take walk-ins or may arrange same day services? We are not planning a fancy service, just the typical I do's.

There are no waiting periods or blood tests. You can get married the same day as your license is issued and you may obtain your license up to 30 days prior to your wedding, however the license is only valid for 30 days. Both parties must be present to obtain a license.

Getting Married In Gatlinburg

Gatlinburg is in Sevier County, Tennessee.
Marriage Licenses are easy to obtain in Tennessee. Simply appear in person at any County Clerk's office, or one of the Marriage License Centers in Sevier County. Both parties must be present in person. Proof of age is required by a valid driver's license or, another state-issued I.D., a valid passport, or certified birth certificate. You do not have to be a resident of Sevier County to get married here.
Couples may also bring a marriage license from any county in the state of Tennessee. Remember, licenses are only valid within thirty days from issuance. If applicants are under age 18, both parents or legal guardians must sign the marriage certificate.
No appointment is required at the Sevier County License Centers. Cost is $45.00 for out-of-state residents, which must be presented only in cash in the exact amount.
PLEASE NOTE: Recent Legislation has made Tennessee Residents subject to an additional fee for a marriage license if they have not had certified marriage counseling. Check with your County Clerk's office concerning this matter.
You may get married as soon as you have a license to do so in hand.

You can go anywhere and get married that day as long as there is a Justice of the Peace or other certified individual who is available to do it. However, you will have had to already gotten a marriage license for that state (which generally entails blood tests and paperwork.)
