Question

Where Will Our Forever Begin?

Answer

We can’t wait to celebrate with you at The Loving Events Venue, located at 1044 Starlight Rd, McMinnville, TN 37110. This beautiful space is the perfect place for us to say “I do,” and we’re overjoyed to share it with our favorite people on our favorite day!

Question

The Loving: A Venue That Speaks to Us

Answer

We chose The Loving not only for its beauty, but for its meaning. Named in honor of Richard and Mildred Loving—the couple whose landmark Supreme Court case ended bans on interracial marriage—it’s a venue that truly celebrates love without limits. Once a historically Black church, The Loving has been thoughtfully transformed into a warm, inclusive space inspired by its founders’ own cross-cultural love story. For us, it represents unity, courage, and the kind of legacy we hope to build together. We know it’s a bit of a drive, and we are so grateful to those making the journey. This place holds deep personal meaning for us, and we believe the setting—and the love we’ll all share—will make it worth every mile. Thank you for traveling this road with us, in every sense.
