We got eloped to Maggie Valley at Miss Caroline's last week, and it couldn't have been more perfect.

Caroline was one of the sweetest people I have ever met, she made sure my husband and I were completely comfortable and happy.

I loved that I got to chose from a variety of bouquets to carry during the ceremony and keep.

We were married by the beautiful waterfall, and the ceremony was private and romantic.

We just got our photos back and they are spectacular!!

I highly recommend Miss Caroline's if you are looking to elope or just for a small wedding.

Thank you Caroline for making our special day even more special.

Married in 2006

My husband and I were married at Miss Carolines back in Oct 2006. I am looking at the site now because next year will be 10 years and we want to go back and celebrate.

I can't believe I see any negative reviews about her. She was awesome. We watch our wedding video every year and have nothing but happy, loving memories. Like I said, we are going back next Oct, and can't wait.

This place wouldn't be for everyone. This is for a couple who don't want stress and hassle with their wedding. If you are about the drama, probably need to be married somewhere else. She was awesome.

It was a great time, we loved every minute of it. We can't wait to go back.

NOT PRIVATE OR SECLUDED~~

After driving 3 hours to reach our cabin on our honeymoon we arrived to find cabins were right beside the main highway and so close they were almost touching!!! The website only shows close ups and brags of "privacy and seclusion".

FALSE ADVERTISING!!!! I asked for a refund (nearly in tears by then) and got it minus and $50 fee (for what???) I will never stay here and be warned when you book online!!!!

Pictures can be deceiving!!!!

Such a disappointment and bad ending to what was supposed to be the best night of my life!!!!!! Luckily we were able to find another cabin for one night only though......

Just as this reviewer stated, please be sure and read the description and familiarize yourself with the location of any rental you choose. Miss Caroline's description on the homepage of our cabin site reads:

Our Maggie Valley cabins are within walking distance to family entertainment, shopping and restaurants, we offer six cozy Maggie Valley cabins which provide all the comforts of home. Our Maggie Valley Rental Cabins is theme decorated to give a fun and unique twist to your mountain vacation.

We in no way claim to be secluded or private.

Our cancellation policy reads:

Reservations require a deposit equal to one night's rental plus applicable taxes. We know that plans can go astray.

However we rely primarily on advance reservations, and cancellations cannot readily be filled.

If a reservation is cancelled 60 days or more before the arrival date, then the deposit may be refunded. If a reservation is cancelled less than 60 days of the arrival date, then the deposit is forfeited and not refundable.

Miss Carolines Wedding Chapel - Wedding Photographer Review from Dalton, Georgia

I tried to post on the miss Caroline's website but it has been shut down after the last bad post. U are right about it being about the money.

Who wants to do a toast and cake cutting in their cabin with no pictures. Don't know how this wowan is still doing business. I read someone saying all was great with their wedding and u know I'm sure there are a few but then again it could be friends or family just posting good comments to help her out. All I can say is u can see for ur self.

Ipaid about 650 and she took40 pictures but 4 of the same poses. U hear the clicking of the camera but for Gods sake let's change the pose. But that would have taking to much time. The whole time was about 30 minutes long.

So she is making a good deal of money doing this. And also her teen age son is the camera man videoing the wedding. said it was professionally edited. All we could do was hear the heater running in the background and her talking to her son telling him where to get while we were getting married not to mention the traffic sounds outside u could not hear us saying our vowels on the video.

Made me sad. We are going to redo it n a few years and invite family.

Very Professsional

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My husband and I got married there two years ago. The chapel was beautiful.

The cabin was very nice. Miss Caroline was professional and patient with us. She did not rush us to make any decisions. If we needed to take a break she allow us to do so.

We also liked it because there were things close by to see and do. One thing I did not like, was that during our last night our neighbor was not respectful of others around them. It was late at night and they were making all kind of noises.

We could not tell Miss Caroline because she had left for the evening. Overall we had a great time.

Get Real when planning a wedding. Bridezilla and her mother are real.

We had a wonderful experience at Miss Caroline's Wedding Chapel. We did see another couple with an angry groom yelling at people to not mess the paint up on his truck.

Nothing to do with the business here. The bride was grouchy too. But Caroline handled it in stride and professionally. The other complaint posted here about this business is typical of a bridezilla and family.

That is the reason I stopped doing weddings myself. Caroline handles everything professionally and expects that people read the written contract.

Nothing out of order there. Be confident that using this business will be a good experience, we thought so, even after reading this bad review.

BEWARE of Miss Caroline's Wedding Chapel

My son got married at Miss Caroline's in Maggie Valley NC. Although the service was nice, the wedding was about 10 minutes late getting started because of the bride. Miss Caroline's policy is if you are 15 minutes or more past your designated time, there is an additional $75.00 fee. When I paid the bill before the wedding, I commented on the fact that her clock was fast. She said that was the time they went by. Imagine my surprise when I received my credit card bill and she had charged me the $75.00 late fee! I tried to call and no one answered, so I sent an email requesting a reversal of this charge. She refused. I questioned what she would have done had I paid cash? I got no answer to that question. I have tried 2 emails in an attempt to get her to remove this charge. I received no response to the 2nd email, and the first one said her agreement was with the bride and groom. Then why did she charge MY card? Had I paid cash, would the greedy woman have chased us across the parking lot?

Her website also says that that silk flowers will be provided to the bride, the maid of honor and the groom. We told her we would be bringing our own fresh flowers. She stated no compensation would be given and that we could keep the flowers she provided as keepsakes. We were never given the flowers to take home.

So now here we are. We did not receive our flowers and the woman is trying to charge an unfounded late fee to my credit card!

Do yourselves a favor...get married somewhere else. Miss Caroline seems to be more about the money than about your special day!

Had a wonderful wedding there last year...Caroline made everything flawless. Some people can't ever be pleased--or have a complete lack of common sense/ rational thinking.

Clock was not fast.

All services as agreed. Loved the whole experience!

This lady (complainer) sounds like a real %6#$@ Miss Carolines is great. We got married there 8 years ago and go back often.

It has been great every time. Highly Recommend!!

Guest

We got married in this beautiful chapel in 2008. Everything was perfect and we even stayed in the little cabin behind the church.

What a wonderful weekend.

Our tradition is to make the trip back to Maggie Valley every anniversary to remember where it all started.

Guest

Miss Caroline's is perfect for couples that want a small intimate ceremony. We chose the Garnet package and we definitely got our money's worth and then some.

The minister was great and Miss Caroline was wonderful in making sure everything went smoothly.

The Enchanted chapel is beautiful and we were able to have pictures taken inside the chapel and in front of the waterfall. We were very pleased with everything.

Guest

I was just married at Miss Caroline's chapel last Saturday and it was simply AMAZiNG. I was MORE then I imagined...from the flowers to the cabin..to the service and the pictures are AWESOME.

I could not have asked for anything better! :grin

We are celebrating our First Year of Wedded Bliss this weekend, 9/18. We eloped last year to Miss Caroline's Wedding Chapel.

We called her just a few hours before the wedding, she had a vacant space and everything went perfectly. The pictures, flowers, music...everything was so enchanting. We highly recommend this Chapel to everyone.

Thank you, Miss Carolina, for a wedding to remember. Love you!

Guest

We've enjoyed 15 years of wonderful weddings! Just as any business, we have policies that apply to everyone's wedding.

We do several weddings a day. Therefore, we have a schedule to keep so that each couple and their guests have ample time for their special day! Sometimes couples don't abide by those rules and as stated in their confirmation letter a fee is charged for inconveniencing our couple that is scheduled to be married next, our minister and our staff.

I'm afraid the same rules apply to every couple. We wish all our couples many happy years together and much love!

Guest

My husband and I just got married at Miss Caroline's Chapel (Oct 2009) and we thought it was wonderful. Miss Caroline and the minister were extremely nice and helpful and positive.

She went out of her way to make sure everything looked great and took a lot of time on our pictures. It is a beautiful little chapel and a great deal!
