At The Trillium, we prioritize not just your arrival but also your departure, ensuring that every aspect of your special day is marked by ease and elegance.
Our venue offers 25 paved parking spaces, as well as overflow and handicap-accessible parking. While guests can opt to drive themselves, we highly recommend securing the services of our exclusive shuttle provider. Doing so guarantees a seamless and stress-free journey for you and your loved ones, ensuring everyone arrives and departs without a hitch. Let Elite Shuttle Service take care of the logistics, so you can focus on savoring every joyous moment.
Parking & Transportation
simple travel solutions
For those choosing the convenience of Elite's exclusive shuttle services, coordination is seamlessly handled through Elite Event Services. The process is effortless – from booking to pick up and drop off, everything is expertly managed.
For ease and flexibility, pickup and drop-off options will be custom-tailored to your preferences. Guests can be picked up and dropped off directly from their nearby cabin or parkway hotel, extending the VIP experience from doorstep to venue. Alternatively, you can choose to extend transportation from Elite's designated parking lots (regular and overflow), a central and accessible option, strategically located just 4.5 miles from the venue at the base of the mountains. Accessible via US-321 to Pigeon Forge, this location is particularly well-suited for those who may feel uneasy navigating higher elevations.
No matter the chosen option, Elite Shuttle Services ensures that your guests' journey to The Trillium is as seamless as the celebration itself.
shuttle Logistics
The key to efficient shuttle service is proximity! To optimize your door-to-door experience, it's important your guests stay in the nearby area. The closer they are to the venue, the smoother and quicker the shuttle service becomes. To help you with this, we've compiled a convenient lodging recommendations list. We suggest you select accommodations in close proximity to The Trillium to ensure not only an efficient shuttle service but also a seamless celebration without unnecessary travel delays. Explore our lodging recommendations and make the most of your special day by keeping your guests close for an effortlessly delightful journey.

Will Elite create a shuttle schedule for my guests?
Certainly! A dedicated Logistics Manager from Elite Shuttle Services will reach out to each client approximately 4-6 weeks prior to their event to initiate the creation of their tailored shuttle schedule. Accuracy is key, so it's crucial to ensure that guest counts and 'day-of' schedules are as precise as possible before finalizing the shuttle schedule. This meticulous approach guarantees a seamless and personalized transportation experience for your event.
After Elite Shuttle Services finalizes the shuttle schedule to the client's satisfaction, a comprehensive contract will be electronically generated and sent. This contract includes a detailed description of the services provided, an itemized breakdown of the associated costs for the shuttle service, and the convenience for the client to select their preferred payment method. Elite aims to provide transparency and clarity, ensuring that clients have a thorough understanding of the services and associated costs before confirming their booking.
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. The option to add a second shuttle is available at a cost of $450 for the initial 6 hours and $75 for each additional hour. This flexible arrangement ensures a smooth and timely transportation experience tailored to the size and needs of your event.
* Area Resort Cabins: Approximately 20-45 minutes roundtrip.
* Elite Event Services Parking Lot: Around 25 minutes roundtrip.
* Hotels on the Parkway: Estimated travel time of 45-50 minutes roundtrip.
For optimal efficiency of the shuttle service, we recommend staying within a 20-minute radius of the venue. Prime locations include properties off Bluff Mountain Road, within The Summit, Smoky Cove Resort, Laurel Branch, or hotels conveniently situated off the Parkway near Wears Valley Road. Notably, hiring a second shuttle for door-to-door service is generally unnecessary; the decision is more 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 Trillium 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.
You’ll want to ensure The Trillium Venue is prominently featured on your invitations, highlighting the availability of onsite parking for your guests. For those contemplating the use of Elite Shuttel Service, we recommend adding the note 'Shuttle Info To Follow On Our Wedding Website” — 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 Trillium Guidebook app, an impressive app designed to keep your guests organized and informed.
While Uber services are available in the Sevierville area, potentially offering an additional transportation option for guests, it's crucial to recognize that accessibility may vary. Due to the discretion of Uber drivers in accepting or rejecting jobs, availability for guest transportation, especially during peak demand at the end of the night, is not guaranteed. Securing an Uber can be challenging, but the introduction of pre-scheduled rides has proven successful for some guests. It's important to note that any coordination with Uber is independently managed outside of The Trillium or Elite Shuttle Services.
To maintain smooth operations and accommodate the possibility of consecutive weddings, we kindly request that cars not be left at the venue 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.
