At The Monroe on 415th, we know your wedding celebration is more than just one special day; it’s a wedding weekend full of memories with your favorite people. To help you and your guests make the most of your time in McMinnville, Tennessee, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite local spots for dining, relaxing, and celebrating.

Where to Eat & Drink

There are great places to grab a bite to eat! Head downtown and you will find Collins River BBQ and Cafe, Begonias, The Local on Morford, The Vanilla Bean Baking Co., and Barren Fork Brews. All of these are about a 15-minute drive from The Monroe on 415th and about 10 minutes from the Hampton Inn in McMinnville, where most of our couples have their family and friends stay!

Rehearsal Dinner Recommendations

We know having your rehearsal dinner close to your venue can be super convenient for those in the wedding and coming from out of town! We’ve found a few spots we’ve seen some of our couples use in McMinnville. Collins River BBQ and Cafe has a private event room that is the most popular spot we’ve seen for rehearsal dinners. The Local on Morford is a newer restaurant in town that has the perfect rehearsal-dinner vibes! Begonias is another great restaurant in town that can be used, and The Loving is a local event center that has been used before to host rehearsal dinners.

Places to Stay

McMinnville has a Hampton Inn about 6 miles from The Monroe on 415th that many of our couples use for wedding room blocks for their guests. Another newer option is Southern Blue TN, which offers townhomes and apartments Airbnb style. These are also located about 6 miles from The Monroe on 415th. Along with those two great options, there are also multiple Airbnbs anywhere from 6–15 miles from the venue.

Local Wedding Vendors

We’re so lucky to get to work with local vendors in McMinnville! Some of these vendors include Anj + Jo Collective and they offer wedding photography. Mooncrest Events, who offers florals and planning services and The Pink Peony, who also offers planning services. The Vanilla Bean Baking Co offers cakes and desserts for weddings and is also a great spot for coffee and lunch on wedding day. 

We truly love being located in McMinnville, TN and hope to continue growing in the community!
