“We immediately knew when we first toured the venue that this was where we wanted our wedding to be. The view of the river and the downtown skyline is incredible! We loved the location, the staff, and the significance that Ruby Falls holds in Chattanooga history,” recall the couple.

With the help of the Ruby Falls team, the couple made the most of Skyline Loft to accommodate every memorable moment of their wedding. The venue hosted both their ceremony and reception, as well as a guest arrival area and bridal party holding area, bringing the Meltons’ vision for their perfect wedding day to life.
“The wedding unfolded seamlessly, with every detail thoughtfully arranged, creating a day that was both beautifully coordinated and deeply memorable for all,” they share. “Reneese Pope was our event coordinator at Ruby Falls, and she was with us every step of the way. From extra planning visits, to multiple layout options, she helped make our dreams come true!”

The castle provided a romantic backdrop for photography, followed by an afternoon ceremony in Skyline Loft. Afterward, during the reception, guests sat at round tables and enjoyed refreshments and a grazing table. For dessert, the couple cut into a tiered Bundt cake display, with miniature cakes available for everyone to enjoy.

Floral arrangements in colorful pastels took center stage in the décor, featuring peonies, hydrangeas, lavender, garden roses, ranunculus, delphinium, lilies, and eucalyptus, capturing the couple’s vision for a “garden-inspired wedding with a soft, romantic atmosphere that was light, airy, and elegant.” Adding to the ambience, the venue’s expansive windows kept the space bright and provided sweeping views of the valley below.

As the celebrations came to a close, the newlyweds exited down the venue’s stone staircase, sent off in a cascade of bubbles and surrounded by family and friends.
“I proposed in the gardens at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina! We were on a family vacation at nearby Smoky Mountain Country Club in Whittier.”
