What is this little church doing in the heart of Maggie Valley?
It’s one of Miss Caroline’s wedding chapels. There is an additional chapel adjacent to the gift shop.
 Whichever chapel you choose, at Miss Caroline’s you can get married and go immediately on your honeymoon at one of her Country Cabins (www.carolinescountrycabins.com). Chose from five cozy cabins, each of which has all the comforts of home. Each cabin is theme decorated to give a unique and entertaining twist to your mountain vacation. Maggie Valley, NC is renowned for its mountain history and local color. The valley boasts unique shops, fine and rustic dining, fast food, white water rafting, guided fishing tours, Ghost Town In The Sky Theme Park, Cataloochee Ski Resort, the Blue Ridge Parkway and Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
You can even have your ceremony outdoors, set in a garden with its own waterfall!
 The “little church” was built in 1992.  At that time it was a traveler’s chapel dedicated to Maggie Valley tourists as a sacred space to pray, worship or meditate - or as a spot to stop to take a deep breath and allow the scenery to fill one up. Over time, as the chapel gained in popularity, it became necessary for a minister to be on call for couples desiring to be married there.
Consequently, in 1995, Burton and Caroline Edwards built the gift shop, the additional chapel, garden and waterfall, and put together an array of packages to accommodate the numerous requests. These days, as an extra bonus, Miss Caroline has partnered with The Grizzly Grill for the wedding receptions.
 Since love knows of no time, the chapels and Miss Caroline’s services are available any day or night throughout the entire year. As many as 45 guests can be accommodated. To be married at Miss Caroline’s you must have a North Carolina marriage license - obtainable at any North Carolina Register of Deeds in any county’s Court House, or locally at the Haywood County Court House in nearby Waynesville. North Carolina does not have a waiting period, nor a required blood test. At the chapel you will be asked for a valid driver’s license or a birth certificate. Also, a legal document showing social security number must be shown for identification purposes.
Caroline looks forward to speaking with you by helping you to make your special day both unique and beautiful! See you soon.
