“Having our wedding at Old Hickory was the single best decision my husband and I made throughout the planning process. I cannot overstate how excellent their team, facility, and service is! We fell in love with the beautiful scenery and amenities onsite, but Jen and her team made the experience even more special. Every detail was handled with such care - from the tasting, to our rehearsal, to the day of for our ceremony and reception, we didn’t have to lift a finger. They worked seamlessly with our vendors to ensure everything was set up perfectly.  One example of just how above-and-beyond our experience was: our guests noticed that while they went up to get dinner at the buffet, their napkins were folded and table places were reset when they came back to their seats. I saw Jen personally go around to each table and do this while dinner was served! Those small details make such a difference, and all our guests noticed and appreciated the top tier service. The food is also excellent - we received so many compliments, especially on the twice baked mashed potatoes! I truly would not change a thing about our experience. From getting ready in the bridal suite onsite, having our ceremony in the beautiful trees, driving a golf cart into the sunset while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the patio, to dancing the night away, every moment of our day was perfect. We cannot thank Old Hickory, Jen, and her team enough for making it the wedding day of our dreams. I 100% recommend booking with them!!”

“My wife and I chose the Whitmoor for many reasons. Beautiful decor, the fantastic food, the space, etc. but the best part of us choosing the Whitmoor was Carley. She was so easy to work with, never made us feel like we had a dumb question, and always made herself available to an anxious bride whom had lots of questions. She also accommodated our three year old, even printing activities for him to do, so we could continue to discuss wedding details. Even with our own coordinator, Carley was present at the wedding helping wherever she could, including checking in on us throughout the whole day. And in a very small moment of my wife and I having a break from all the pictures, brought us some appetizers so we could eat and relax for a second before the festivities continued. We are so thankful for all her help and support during this process. Would recommend both her and the Whitmoor 1000%.”

“Forest Park Golf Course was an easy choice for us. Everything is so organized and the package details are clear. You get the whole package here including ceremony space, reception, food, bar, and so much more!

She was always quick to respond and keep us in the loop on things. Another great part of this venue is that they will set up your decorations for you, you just need to drop off your stuff the week before and they will take care of the rest!

“We hosted a Hindu wedding ceremony and reception at the Magnolia. I wish it were possible to give more than 5 stars because our experience was incredible. Emily, the event manager, was kind, communicative, extremely accommodating (as Indian weddings can be a lot), and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her and team for our wedding. The presidential suite was stellar for getting ready photos, and the ballroom and rooftop provided perfect backdrops for photos. The staff worked with our vendors seamlessly. Couldn't recommend more!”

“We recently had our wedding and reception at Live! by Loews in October, and it was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, every detail was perfectly handled, and the experience exceeded all of our expectations. Our ceremony and cocktail hour took place on the Bullock Terrace, and the setting was nothing short of breathtaking. The stunning cityscape and Ballpark Village provided the exact vibe we envisioned. The terrace was beautifully prepared, creating an atmosphere our guest couldn't stop raving about. The Cardinal Ballroom for our reception was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate our 200 guests, with plenty of room for dancing and celebrating. The bar service was impeccable, and the food was a highlight of the night - everyone commented on how delicious everything was. A huge shoutout to Sydney, the venue coordinator, who was truly the icing on the cake. From our very first meeting to the wedding day itself, she went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. If everyone planning their wedding had a Sydney, no one would ever have to worry about a thing! her expertise, kindness, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Beyond Sydney, every staff member we encountered was warm, friendly, and eager to help. Their professionalism and genuine care made both us and our guests feel welcomed and valued throughout the event. If I could do it all over again, there isn't a single thing I would change. Live! by Loews was the perfect choice, and I would pick them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable.”
