Spence Cabin Arbor
at Spence Cabin in Historic Elkmont
INCLUDES:
Spence Cabin is a popular wedding venue in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, specifically in Elkmont, Tennessee. The area is known for its natural beauty and historic cabins. Many couples choose Spence Cabin for its picturesque surroundings and the rustic charm of the cabin itself.
This arbor is often used for wedding ceremonies and elopements, and the arbor dimensions are needed! Don't worry!
I traveled out to the Smokies to measure the arbor to help you plan your big day at Spence Cabin.

Getting married at Spence Cabin? Getting there is a bit of an adventure. With no reliable cell service in the Smokies, the off-the-grid charm comes with challenges.
But hey! No worries! I've created a simple downloadable guide filled with step-by-step directions! This guide also includes photos to ensure you safely arrive at your mountain elopement or wedding.

Started off 2026 weddings with a good one @thepressroom_knoxville with Caroline and Mathew. Always love ending the night with fries, a shake, and a heck of a party 🎉

Oh, what a year, 2025.
With over 40 weddings and elopements, EMP spent the year chasing love across some truly incredible spaces—private golf resorts, hidden AirBnBs, mountain views, and Knoxville downtown gems. Oh, and everything in between!
Each slide here represents a different place, a different couple, and a completely perfectly-imperfect story. I’m grateful for every single one 🫶🏻
Swipe through to see all the venues we had the honor of photographing this year!
