The Gray Dove Reviews

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.

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.

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.

If an outdoor wedding is your dream, The Gray Dove is the place! One of the few natural beauties still remaining, The Gray Dove is a breath of fresh air. The landscape is so lush & green, I can’t think f a better backdrop for 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!

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.

Such a great venue! The bridal suit and groomsmen suit were amazing!! So easy to get everyone ready and there on time! The space is so beautiful!

The Gray Dove really is the perfect venue for an outdoor wedding! I highly recommend that couples book this venue, it is so accommodating and the staff is an absolute delight to work with! Best wedding venue in Chattanooga!

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!

As soon as we drove into the Gray Dove to tour the venue, we knew that it was "the place." It was everything we could have wanted. We chose to have our ceremony in the field, and the reception in the barn and pavilion. The Inn was a perfect place to stay the night before our wedding, and it made getting ready the day of so much easier, since we didn't have to go anywhere off site. Courtney was even great enough to let me use the Inn for a pre-wedding photo session with my photographer a month before our wedding date.

Overall it was wonderful. There were really only two downsides - it was 90+* on our wedding day, and the bathrooms were unbelievably hot and stuffy. We knew to expect that, but it was still surprising how hot it was. Also, I had to email the Gray Dove 2+ months after our wedding to ask about getting our deposit back - so keep an eye on that!

Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for an outdoor venue.
