About The Hickory Meadow Charlotte, TN Venue

4441 Tennessee Highway 47, Charlotte, Tennessee 37036

Like many love stories, Hickory Meadow began with a love story. Owners Max and Haley Gerber moved to Charlotte, Tennessee in July 2016 to live on their family farm. Generations earlier, Max’s grandfather purchased the farm piece by piece during WWII, sending funds from his time overseas to his wife back home so she could purchase the land. Decades later, Max and Haley set out to honor the love that built their homestead by reimagining the property as a one-of-a-kind wedding venue

While COVID delayed the grand opening of their venue, the first Hickory Meadow wedding was held on May 30, 2020. They’ve been making wedding dreams come true ever since.
