Absolutely gorgeous and perfect venue!

The Gray Dove is perfect in every way. Nice mixture of rustic and elegance all in one. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. The extra touches are probably my favorite; absolutely love the chimney. The attention to detail of the entire venue is unbelievable.

Amazing, super convenient, beautiful, everyone loved.

This place is amazing from top to bottom. Very convenient, being situated about a mile off the ooltewah exit. There are several other structures that come with your 3 day rental. Yes that’s right 3 day rental. This means you can have your rehearsal dinner there the day before, and not have to rush to clean up the night after the wedding. This Venue also has two original farm houses that have been totally renovated, so you are guests can stay on site. The grooms room is a special treat that all my buddies loved . This area was an old car repair shop that had be updated with pool table and video games. Not to forget the best part the barn. This is a 100 year old barn that has been update and was talked about and loved by the entire party. I highly recommend this place for any wedding or event. Super convenient, beautiful, 3 day rental, lodging on site, what else could you ask for.

My third wedding in 4 years

My youngest daughter was married here, it went very smoothly and we were very pleased after 2 other weddings in different places this one was the least stressful. Beautiful surroundings and lots of extras in the details of the farm surroundings.

Wedding Experience

My wife and I got married at The Gray Dove and it could not have been a more perfect experience for us. Having the full weekend rental helped my wife relax and enjoy our wedding. Me and my boys really enjoyed the grooms room with arcade games and pool table. I highly recommend this venue.

Attended a wedding

I was the maid of honor at this venue in October. It was such a fun weekend experience. I loved the bridal suite especially, so many photo ops and a perfect space to hang with the girls! You can’t beat the views either! I wish I had gotten married here myself!

The Gray Dove is the most beautiful venue in Chattanooga/Ooltewah area. We found The Dove when it was just starting up....you can tell they learn something new with every event based on all the additions they've made since we booked with them. I would recommend this Venue to everyone looking for a beautiful place to hold an event! They are easy to communicate with and want to help out to make your event as wonderful as possible!

We hired DJ Terry to provide sound and DJ services for my daughter's wedding ceremony and reception and he was exceptional! I live in a different state from my daughter and the wedding venue, and I easily communicated with Terry through email. During all phases of the planning process, he was prompt in replying to my questions and when I needed to inform him of our preferences and desires. He even ASKED to come to the rehearsal so he would be sure to get every song and sound choice right for my daughter's ceremony! This spoke volumes about the type of service he planned to provide! During the reception, we changed some plans around on the sly, and he quickly adapted to our alterations to our original plan. He also did a fantastic job keeping the flow of the reception moving along! We would HIGHLY recommend DJ for all your sound and DJ needs!
