Picture your dream wedding weekend where your favorite people are all in one place, the details are taken care of, and you have more than just a few hours to celebrate.
That’s what weddings at The Lofton are all about.
Located on 36 private acres in Ardmore, Tennessee, just across the Alabama state line, The Lofton is an all-inclusive wedding retreat designed for couples who want to enjoy the entire experience, not just the wedding day.
With beautiful ceremony spaces, on-site lodging, in-house catering, and a team that handles the planning and details, there’s a lot to love about celebrating here.
Here’s a closer look at what makes The Lofton special.
36 Private Acres for Your Wedding Weekend
One of the biggest perks of getting married at The Lofton? Having room to slow down and enjoy it all.
Our Thursday-through-Sunday wedding weekends give you time to settle in, celebrate with family and friends, and enjoy the property without rushing from one event to the next.
Spend the morning getting ready with your wedding party, enjoy a sunset walk through the meadow, or gather around the firepit after a night of dancing.
With 36 acres of open space, wooded paths, and peaceful surroundings, there’s plenty of room to make the weekend your own.
Beautiful Indoor and Outdoor Ceremony Spaces
Every couple has a different vision for their ceremony, and The Lofton offers several beautiful settings to choose from.
Our ceremony options include:
- The Meadow: An open-air ceremony setting with scenic meadow views and wooded backdrops.
- Wooded Ceremony Spaces: A natural setting surrounded by trees and greenery.
- Covered Barn Ceremony Space: A beautiful covered option that provides protection from unpredictable weather.
Love the idea of an outdoor wedding but worried about rain? Our covered ceremony space provides a convenient backup option, so you can feel confident about your plans.
From romantic outdoor vows to a cozy covered ceremony, there’s a setting for every season.
A Reception Space Designed for Celebrating
After the ceremony, it’s time to celebrate!
The Lofton’s reception space accommodates up to 200 guests, giving you room for dinner, dancing, and all the moments in between.
Our team handles the setup and teardown, including tables, chairs, linens, and reception décor, so you don’t have to worry about getting everything ready yourself.
From beautifully styled tablescapes to a packed dance floor, the space comes together around your wedding vision.
And when the sun goes down, the celebration doesn’t have to end right away. Enjoy glowing string lights, gather around the firepit, or finish the evening with a sparkler send-off.
Getting Ready at The Lofton
Your wedding morning should feel just as special as the ceremony itself.
At The Lofton, The Cottage and The Quarters provide dedicated spaces for you and your wedding party to get ready, relax, and enjoy the excitement before the celebration begins.
There’s room to spend time with your closest friends and family, take getting-ready photos, and enjoy those last few moments before walking down the aisle.
And with everything on the property, you won’t have to worry about traveling between locations.

What Our Couples Love About The Lofton
Here’s what past couples have shared about their experience:
“The Lofton is where dreams come true!! Their team truly turned the day I’ve been dreaming of since I was a little girl into more than I could’ve ever imagined! From the moment we arrived, everything felt effortless. Even before we arrived, wedding planning was a breeze because the Lofton took care of everything for us!
The staff took care of every detail and more so we could truly relax and enjoy the weekend we will remember for the rest of our lives thanks to the Lofton! Our outdoor ceremony was absolutely beautiful, surrounded by the natural charm of the property, and the indoor reception was just as stunning.
The all inclusive option is most definitely the way to go!! Every vendor was absolutely amazing — our photographer captured every special moment, and the DJ made every moment that more special. The cake was delicious and designed exactly how I wanted. The food that The Lofton prepared was amazing and they have so many options to choose from! I told their team my color scheme with little to no inspiration and they tailored every detail more perfectly than I could ever imagine!!!
They also have a house that you can stay at for the weekend which made the weekend so much more convenient and enjoyable. The Lofton truly made my wedding day more perfect than I could’ve ever imagined and I cannot recommend this venue enough!!” —Skye A., Lofton Bride, Google Reviews
