First off, the venue is beautiful - both the second floor and rooftop! The owners are wonderful and very helpful. Due to COVID-19, our plans changed a few times and they were very accommodating. We ended up having all events outside on a cold, rainy day but it was still perfect. They put up the canopy and had heaters our for us. I would highly recommend The Loft at 132!

I first went to the State Line for the incredible Halloween event a couple of years ago, and have been coming back ever since! When my partner and I decided to hold our wedding reception at the State Line Distillery, Shelby was incredible. She made sure I was able to see the space and visualize the layout for our guests, she helped decide on a caterer who knew the space well, and she even let me use some of the wedding items that the State Line offers for events. We rented out the back room, the bartenders were *amazing* all evening, and Shelby made sure the space looked phenomenal and flowed well from the indoor space to the outdoor back patio. Most memorable of all, when it turned out our caterer was expecting us to pick up the food instead of delivering it, Shelby WENT AND PICKED UP OUR FOOD HERSELF, just to make sure the night went off without a hitch. She really went above and beyond for us, and I’ve heard so many people who have said the same about her help at their events — from book launches to college graduations to birthdays. Shelby is an incredible resource and phenomenal event planner, and she is the absolute star of an already great space with amazing drinks. Thanks, Shelby (and thanks, too, to the amazing bartenders for keeping up with our demand all night with your kickass drink menu, too)!!

When my (now) husband and I got engaged, soon the reality set in that I was now to become a full time wedding planner. The checklists started getting made with the first one on the list being “find a venue”. We knew we wanted an elegant, upscale, timeless wedding. The first thing that came to mind was an outdoor country club wedding. After touring a few, we realized this was not what we wanted due to unpredictable weather, inconvenience for out of town guests, and rustic vibes we were not trying to go for. Family recommended The Concourse so I reached out to Kylie. During our first tour we knew this was where we wanted to get married. The elegant experience that The Concourse provides is unmatched. (My favorite part being the neutral carpet, no one wants bright red or blue carpet in your wedding pictures.) During one of the most stressful times, stressing about weather and rain is something you can easily take off your plate by being indoors. This venue is perfect to have everything in one place from the rehearsal, to the ceremony, to the reception. Kylie is not only helpful, but goes above and beyond to make your day perfect. She is there every step of the way in the months and days leading up to the big day to make sure your vision becomes a reality. Everything from the set up, to the timing, to helping day-of making sure everything goes according to plan was more than what was even expected. People ask how our wedding went and all we can say is “perfect”. We are so grateful to everyone on The Concourse team, especially to Kylie. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.

We recently had our wedding at 10 South on Friday, November 1st, and the experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. From our initial tour to the day of the wedding and every meeting in between, the team at 10 South, especially Lindsay (Venue Manager) and Audrey (Event Manager), went above and beyond to make our day seamless. They took the stress out of planning with their coordinator packages, in-house DJ, and trusted list of preferred caterers, allowing us to fully enjoy the process. Their recommendations for furniture and decor rentals were spot on, making it easy to create the perfect atmosphere. I genuinely can’t recommend 10 South enough—if I could plan ten more weddings, I would host them all here!

We ended up having an amazing wedding at Scenic View Country Club in October 2020. The space is nicely laid out and provides plenty of room with dance floor, huge bar and separate dining area. The wrap around porch provided nice outdoor space and would be great for cocktail hours, weather permitting. The views of the trees and green provided a great backdrop for ceremony and pictures. When COVID hit, there were a few changes in their event coordinators which made us a little nervous but once we got Clarissa a few months before our day, that all changed. Clarissa and her staff really made our day special. She was organized and great at communication leading up to our day. Planning a wedding in 2020 wasn't easy but I appreciated Clarissa's flexibility and help as we got closer. Day of, she was so helpful keeping us on track and making sure everything ran smoothly. We had some rain scheduled but still wanted to keep the ceremony outside if possible. We luckily got a window before our ceremony began and the staff was out there wiping off chairs and leaf blowing puddles so I wouldn't get my dress wet. Throughout the night, the staff continued to do an amazing job with serving dinner and keeping our guests happy! We were also very impressed with the food and heard nothing but good things from guests. Overall, we were thrilled with our experience and very happy with our choice to have our special day at Scenic View!
