About

The Lofton is more than a wedding venue—it’s a place to turn your wedding day into an entire weekend with the people you love most.

Located on 36 private acres in Southern Tennessee, just minutes from the Alabama state line, The Lofton offers multiple ceremony locations, a spacious reception venue, beautiful getting-ready spaces, an entire warehouse of décor, and on-site lodging for up to 40 guests across our five cottages and main house.

Choose an outdoor ceremony overlooking the pond and rolling countryside, say “I do” in our beautiful Meadow, or create a ceremony setup that feels completely your own. Inside, our reception space features stone fireplaces, Chiavari chairs, a catering kitchen, flexible floor plans, and plenty of room to celebrate with up to 200 guests.

One of the things that makes The Lofton different is the freedom to choose the wedding experience that works best for you.

Want to bring your own dream team of vendors? Our Property Buyout gives you the venue, private property, lodging, décor access, and an entire Thursday-through-Sunday wedding weekend to make your own.

Want us to take care of the details? Our all-inclusive wedding packages can bring everything together in one place, including catering, cake, DJ, florals, photography, coordination, linens, setup, cleanup, bar services, lodging, and more.

Instead of rushing through a few hours on a Saturday, arrive on Thursday, settle in with your favorite people, enjoy the property, celebrate your wedding, and make memories all weekend long.

Whether you're planning an intimate celebration, a full wedding weekend, or looking for an all-inclusive experience where the details are handled for you, The Lofton gives you the space, flexibility, and time to make it yours.

Your wedding deserves more than a day. Come spend the weekend at The Lofton.

Best Wedding Weekend Ever!!

Where do I even begin!! The views, the staff, the food, the lodging, the DEER! My family and I LOVED staying all weekend at the Lofton sitting on the wrap around patio watching the deer at sunset. we loved we got to enjoy a few nights just sitting around telling storied with family before we even had our wedding. If your thinking about an all-inclusive, DO IT!! I didn't book it from the bringing and it end up causing me more time and money, in the end we ended up booking everything through the Lofton except Photography and cake and we couldn't have made a better decision to do that.

The Lofton Staff is Amazing!


Our wedding at The Lofton, was nothing short of amazing, and we owe it all to the amazing team there—especially Amanda, Leticia, and Saige. From the very beginning, they made the planning process so easy and stress-free. Amanda’s attention to detail ensured everything was just perfect, while Saige’s warm and calming presence kept us at ease throughout the day. Leticia went above and beyond to make sure every moment ran smoothly, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The venue itself is beautiful, with both rustic and modern touches that made our ceremony and reception feel like a dream. The all-inclusive package took care of everything, from the décor to catering to photography, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without worrying about the details. We are so grateful to Amanda, Leticia, and Saige for making our wedding day unforgettable!

The Lofton is amazing! They handle little mishaps so well and professional! I have a disability and can't walk long distances so they let us use the golf cart without a problem!

Stunning, gorgeous, best day of my life

As a bride, there are so many things that go through your head and heart leading up to the BEST day of your life. Amanda along with her AMAZINGLY TALENTED team and vendors made our wedding day the most BEAUTIFUL and STRESS FREE day of our lives together. From the moment we toured the venue, Amanda made every single idea for our day come to life, even BETTER than expected. After giving COMPLETE control of our wedding details to the hands of Amanda and her team, she transformed Whistle Hollow into our DREAM event! In the early stages of planning, my husband and I allowed her access to my Pinterest board with all of the specifics that we would have wanted from the decor to the food and makeup. Amanda fulfilled every single idea that I had pinned even more beautifully than originally pictured. From the delicious food that my guests RAVED about to the BREATHTAKING decor that surrounded us all evening, Whistle Hollow left no page unturned. Most brides prefer to be in control of every single detail, and that can be arranged at Whistle Hollow, but our personal experience revealed that if you let the professionals do what they do best, your end results will be better than you could ever imagine! If I could offer one piece of advice for future brides, it would be to RUN, don't walk to Whistle Hollow and book your date. We are and still remain to be speechless as to how STUNNING our wedding was with Amanda, her team, and vendors at Whistle Hollow.

My Dream Venue

I don’t even know where to begin. Amanda and her staff are phenomenal. They went above and beyond to make our big day perfect. They create packages that make wedding planning a walk in the park. They provide many on site services from the ceremony and reception venue, catering, set up and takedown, bridal party getting ready suites, the magic mirror photo booth, golf cart services and the list goes on and on. They also provide a list of vendors that they trust and work very closely with. Again, all of this made the planning STRESS-FREE. Amanda and her staff treat you like family. They are amazing at what they do, kind, efficient and professional. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect because of them. I showed up and did not have to worry about a thing. The venue itself is gorgeous. My guests were raving about all of the amenities and breathtaking views. I cannot say enough about how awesome Whistle Hollow is.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
