THE HEART OF LITTLE TENNESSEE
The story starts with owners Nikki and her husband Andrew back when they began planning their own wedding in 2012. Rather than do anything the easy way, they decided to create their own custom venue on a special piece of property that Andrew inherited in Chesapeake, Ohio. A scenic setting surrounded by nature, Andrew grew up calling it his own Little Tennessee because it reminded him of family trips down south. The two combined Nikki’s background in visual design with Andrew’s experience in construction to transform the land into a one-of-a-kind wedding and event venue. They know all the hard work that goes into a wedding and decided to offer other couples an easier solution by using their venue as the center of an all-inclusive wedding experience.
Family is at the heart of Little Tennessee and it is a part of everything we do here.
From the land that has been passed down multiple generations to a team with not one, not two, but three mother-daughter duos. There’s a whole lot of love here at Little Tennessee— for each other and the work we do, our venue and the land, and of course the people we get to share it with– you!
That’s why we go above and beyond the expectations of any other venue in this area. We offer so much more than a great location. Our goal is to allow you and your loved ones the opportunity to cherish every single moment by taking care of everything you need for the most magical day. We invite you to celebrate your love with the people that matter most to you and fully enjoy your happily ever after without any worry in the world.
