My Favorite Venues

It really matters where you get married. A beautiful venue will create the backdrop for gorgeous images. The venues linked below are my absolute favorite West TN venues and here is a list of the reasons why...

• Historic Ann's 1893 is located in the heart of Union City and provides a picturesque space for a smaller, more intimate wedding. HA gives you the choice between an all-white bridal suite in the main hour or an entire bridal cottage on the grounds of the venue plus a groom's quarters with a manly vibe. The outdoor ceremony space seats about 100 guests and you almost don't know you're right in downtown Union City. A rose garden behind the main house is the perfect place for bridal and couple's portraits.
• Oak Hill Mill is one of West Tennessee's hidden gems. The bride and groom quarters and spacious and very nice. The mill is tucked away behind 100-year-old pine trees in what looks like a piece of the forest set down in West TN just for your use. There are several areas to use for gorgeous, woodsy photos. The best part - Oak Hill Mill has all-inclusive options so all you have to worry about is cake, photos and video.
• Southern Grace looks like it was designed by a photographer! Seriously. They didn't miss a thing in the design of this venue. The barn is all white with wood trim. The bridal suite is white and pink with gold accents. There are even 10 knobs on one wall for your dresses. The groom's quarters are masculine and fun. The outdoor area is stunning. It feels like a miniature version of the botanical gardens with a rose garden, tree lined path and huge pond. I think this venue is perfect for about 200 guests. The venue's day-of-coordinator goes above and beyond to make your wedding day special.
• Fyrne Lake is located on a massive private farm with three ceremony sites, giving you the space to accommodate any size wedding. The lanai is the most popular of the three sites and probably suits about 200 guests. Attached to the Cottage, it features a place to get ready, an outdoor ceremony space with fairy lights, and a screened in reception space with a cozy fireplace. The Pavilion is located across the path from the lake and is ideal for an all-outdoor ceremony with about 100 guests. A third spot is a pocket in the trees where you could host a woodsy, intimate ceremony. This venue is "close to home" for me and I think it is so special that Dyersburg has such a magical place for weddings.
• Waddell Place is the home of my favorite chapel. It is all white and open on two sides. You truly feel like your wedding is outdoor with a little protection overhead. The barn used for receptions features a three-room bridal suite and a fantastic groom's room. I'd say this venue could easily accommodate 200 guests.
• The Balinese Ballroom is located in downtown Memphis near the historic arts district, one of my favorite areas of the beautiful city. The ballroom features a warn toned brick space and one with white walls so there is something for two different aesthetics. Downtown Memphis is an amazing backdrop for photos, especially at sunset.
