Parking & Transportation
simple travel solutions
Your included shuttle service is seamlessly handled through Elite Event Services. From scheduling to pick up and drop off, every detail is expertly managed, making the process effortless for you.
To provide ease and flexibility, pickup and drop-off options will be customized to your preferences. Guests can be conveniently picked up and dropped off directly from their nearby cabins or parkway hotels, ensuring a VIP experience from doorstep to venue. Alternatively, you can opt to utilize our guest parking lot 509 Mill Creek Rd. Pigeon Forge, TN 37863, located just 7 minutes from the venue at the base of the mountains. This option is particularly well-suited for guests who may prefer to drive themselves on your wedding day.
No matter the option chosen, Elite Shuttle Services guarantees that your guests' journey to The Magnolia is as seamless as the celebration itself.

We recommend selecting accommodations in close proximity to The Magnolia to guarantee not only efficient shuttle service but also a seamless celebration without unnecessary travel delays.

This meticulous approach guarantees a seamless and personalized transportation experience for your event.
The Elite shuttles carry a maximum of 14 guests per trip.
To optimize the efficiency of the shuttle service for your guests, Elite recommends one shuttle for events with guest counts of 75 or fewer and suggests two shuttles for larger gatherings exceeding 80 guests.

Notably, hiring a second shuttle for door-to-door service is influenced by factors such as guest count, time flexibility, and various pick-up locations.
We're delighted to support you and your guests with The Magnolia Guidebook — an innovative digital app that showcases handpicked local recommendations, from accommodations to hidden gem restaurants and activities. Your guests will have practical info, FAQs, travel tips, and more, at their fingertips, ensuring a seamless and delightful journey to your celebration. It also serves as a wonderful addition to save-the-dates and/or wedding websites.
We recommend adding the note 'Shuttle Info To Follow On Our Wedding Website” on your invitations — the optimal way to include updated information once your shuttle schedule is finalized, typically about four weeks prior to your wedding. As an additional resource, all booked couples will also receive a link to the aforementioned The Magnolia Guidebook app, an impressive app designed to keep your guests organized and informed.
While they are Ubers available, it’s important to keep in mind that they are not always readily available in the area. We highly recommend utilizing the provided shuttle service for all guest transportation to and from the venue. If guests choose to use Uber, they will need to be dropped off at our guest parking lot [509 Mill Creek Rd. Pigeon Forge, TN] and the shuttle will escort them to the venue from there.
To maintain smooth operations and accommodate the possibility of consecutive weddings, we kindly request that cars not be left overnight. This proactive measure helps us avoid potential logistical challenges for the following day's event. We deeply appreciate our couples communicating this policy to their guests, allowing everyone to plan accordingly. Keep in mind you can utilize the door-to-door service with the shuttle in order to eliminate guests’ need to drive that day.
Due to our limited onsite parking, we only reserve 3 parking spots at the venue for the couple and/or their guests. All guests can park at our guest parking lot, or can be picked up directly from their accommodations, which you'll coordinate with Elite Shuttle Service at 4-6 weeks out from your wedding.
