The Monarch Reviews
Susie Bourque(maid of honor)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-03-2021 The Monarch is a beautiful venue! The size is perfect and the settings are very unique. The staff were very accommodating and provided a calming effect. Furnishings were also very pretty with real chairs (not flimsy folding chairs), faux marble top tables, perfect size bar and buffet tables. My daughter could not have chosen a better place Reviewed on 23-03-2021

I cannot say enough amazing things about The Monarch. Being in middle TN, it was hard to explain to everyone why we were going so far outside of town for our wedding and I just kept saying \"you'll understand when you see the venue\ Reviewed on 17-11-2023

Brittney Bennett(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-10-2020 The Monarch met all of my expectations I had for my wedding day. The building gives you a big city feel in a small town. It is beautiful and the simplicity of the space gives you free reign of decorating it however you want. Although we went with the elopement package, it was still gorgeous with minimal decor. From the white brick to the upstairs black wall, and the suites being the perfect photo spot. Our day felt like a dream and forever obsessed with our wedding venue!! Kellie was quick to respond to our emails and helped us with the planning process as well. Could not recommend this place enough. Reviewed on 10-11-2020
Hello! My husband and I took a chance and bought this historic warehouse at an auction. I was a wedding photographer many years ago, and have always been passionate about the industry. We mixed 1920's industrial elements with just a touch of 1920's glam. Industrial chic is the vibe, and we LOVE it. We can't wait to welcome you and show you around. We think you'll find the space provides all the things you want, and a few things you didn't even know you wanted (hello, flamingo wallpaper). Let us help you create the perfect day! XO, Kellie
