    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.
