Private, Yet Easily Accessible

Convenient Access

While you might think a rustic venue means a barn in a sleepy town, we’ve transformed this property into an upscale country estate. Plus, we’re conveniently located in southern Tennessee – only 30 minutes from Huntsville International Airport, an hour from Nashville, and just a stone’s throw from the Alabama border. So, you don’t have to sacrifice style or convenience to celebrate your love.

Home Sweet Home

Bonding Time

The Lofton isn’t just about the “I do’s” – it’s a full weekend getaway. Spend your downtime challenging friends to lawn games or gathering around the fire pit for s’mores under the stars. With plenty of room to stay the night, the celebration keeps going. Early risers might catch a glimpse of local wildlife roaming the grounds. Here, every moment is a chance to relax, connect, and create memories that’ll last long after the weekend’s over.

“One of the best decisions we’ve ever made.”

“The Lofton was the perfect place for our wedding and reception. It definitely was an all in one place. Amanda was so helpful during the WHOLE process. I was that bride who wasn’t 100% set on the look, but she told me to send my inspiration, and they would take it from there. And WOW!?! Did they ever? The venue looked way better than I could’ve even imagined on our day. The rest of the Lofton crew also definitely helped make our day go smoothly without a hitch, hands down.”

Is the Elevated package worth the extra investment of $15,000 more? This depends on your priorities and budget, but here are some considerations.

Pros of the Elevated package

  • Videography alone can cost $3,000-$6,000 if booked separately
  • The additional services could easily exceed $20,000 if booked individually
  • Convenience of having more elements handled within the package
  • Enhanced guest experience with extra features

Cons

  • Price increase for budget-conscious couples
  • Some additions (like special effects) may not be essential for you

Is the Elevated package right for you? Here’s our take:

If you’re dreaming of a wedding video to relive your day, love the idea of extra photo coverage, and want to wow your guests with special touches, the Elevated package might be perfect. Plus, having everything bundled together can save you a lot of planning headaches.

On the flip side, if you’re working with a tighter budget or some of these extras don’t excite you, our Essential package has everything you need for a beautiful day.

It really comes down to what matters most to you both. If the extra bells and whistles in the Elevated package make your hearts skip a beat (and fit your budget), go for it! And don’t forget – our weekend options for both packages let you stretch out the celebration with your nearest and dearest. It’s all about creating the wedding that feels right for you.
