Your wedding is the most important day of your life, so I know you want it to be unforgettable. With so many options available from traditional church halls to castles, I get that it’s easy to feel overwhelmed trying to choose the right one for hosting your special day. Can I simplify it for you a bit by sharing why you should consider The Gray Dove as your wedding venue?
Location
The Gray Dove is a 40-acre farm venue in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area. Just over one mile off Exit 11 in Ooltewah, you and your guests will easily find this stunning venue. Not to mention, Ooltewah has many hotel accommodations and plenty of great dining options for those coming from out-of-town! While it may be located just off the highway, once you go inside The Gray Dove, you’ll be so busy taking in the scenery that time may feel like it stopped.
The Gray Dove is renowned for its rustic elegance, privacy, and intimacy. The venue is surrounded by beautiful landscaping and has a large, rustic barn that’s 100 years old! It’s a great place for those who want to celebrate that special day surrounded by trees, greenery, and nature. Its exclusive location allows up to 200 guests.
Picturesque Atmosphere
You’ll be captivated by the serenity of The Gray Dove. Then entire venue’s set against a backdrop beautifully dotted with huge trees, rolling hills. Their open-air pavilions and century-old, stacked stone fireplaces, pristine pastures provide many opportunities for your ceremony. They offer a one-of-a-kind rustic setting where you can celebrate your marriage and get dreamy portraits of you and your spouse! (Does that sound weird still? Hehe!)
Speaking of dreamy portraits, I drool over the portrait opportunities at the venue. The low-hanging branches on the property make for whimsical portraits. The acreage of the property helps keep your portrait time private and intimate too.
Service
The Gray Dove is a great venue for weddings of up to 200 guests. The entire farm is under one roof, offering services that you need all in one place! Their services include:
