Bride
The team at The Loving was amazing and super helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. They have a beautiful area that was perfect for our special day, and it was an incredible value for the price. When it unexpectedly rained on our wedding day, the staff quickly flipped the area to accommodate our ceremony indoors, ensuring everything went smoothly. We are so grateful for their professionalism and attention to detail that made our wedding day truly unforgettable.
Love it!
The Loving was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the very beginning, Katy and the team were quick to respond to our questions and help us plan every detail. On the day of, they made sure everything ran smoothly and looked absolutely beautiful. The space was clean and elegant, creating the dream wedding atmosphere we were hoping for. Katy went above and beyond to make sure our day was special and stress-free. I would highly recommend The Loving to any couple looking for a gorgeous venue with wonderful service.
We love 'The Loving'
As a wedding coordinator, I have had the pleasure of working with many venues, but The Loving truly stands out. Catherine, Alex, and Katy are an incredibly accommodating, friendly team who go above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly for their clients. The venue itself is stunning—spacious, beautifully decorated, and offers both indoor and outdoor ceremony options. The ceremony space offers a perfect atmosphere, enhanced by the presence of beautiful mature trees that give the ceremony a timeless, elegant feel. Whether working with the bride and groom for an intimate indoor ceremony or a gorgeous outdoor celebration, I can confidently say The Loving provides an exceptional experience. Located in the heart of McMinnville, TN, it’s a hidden gem, and I highly recommend it to any couple looking for a memorable wedding day.
