The event will take place at the renowned Loveless Barn, known for its warm atmosphere and rich cultural heritage. Organisers aim to create a more intimate environment, distinguishing Meet Cute Con from other larger gatherings by fostering direct connections between fans and their favourite stars.
Among the first confirmed attendees are some notable figures from beloved television series and films. Fans can look forward to meeting Jana Kramer, Evan Williams, and the cast of the popular series Virgin River, including Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, Benjamin Hollingsworth, and Zibby Allen.
Benjamin Hollingsworth expressed his excitement, noting the remarkable growth of the Virgin River community over recent years. He said, “Fans haven’t just connected with the show; they’ve become part of it. What’s really special is the reimagining of the fan convention experience. I love that Meet Cute Con is thoughtfully shaping a whole event around the community that makes shows like ours special.”
Fellow cast member Zibby Allen echoed this sentiment, stating, “What excites me most about Meet Cute Con is that it will be the first time the Virgin River cast has come together for a public event. After all these seasons, we’ve never actually done that. I’m looking forward to being in the same space, sharing time together, and celebrating this beloved small town we’re all a part of.”
Kramer and Williams are also anticipated to share their own camaraderie during the event. Hollingsworth, who attended Williams’ wedding in 2024, has previously worked with Kramer in the 2025 film adaptation of Karen Kingsbury’s The Christmas Ring, filmed just outside Nashville in Franklin, Tennessee. The strong connections among the attendees are expected to enhance the warm and welcoming spirit of the convention.
The festivities will commence on the opening day with a VIP Welcome Party at the rooftop Pool Club Bar of the Virgin Hotels Nashville. Here, high-tier ticket holders will have an exclusive chance to engage with the stars before diving into a full weekend enriched with panels, interactive experiences, and delicious Southern cuisine available at the Loveless Barn Café, the main venue for the event.
Saturday and Sunday promise a jam-packed schedule with a variety of activities, including celebrity panels, opportunities for photos and autographs, and a chance to participate in interactive experiences. Fans can also enjoy live musical performances, with both Kramer and Williams bringing their musical talents to the event.
As the excitement builds, more star-studded announcements are anticipated in the coming weeks, promising to include additional fan-favourite names from small-town-themed television series.
Tickets for Meet Cute Con are now available, offering fans a unique opportunity to revel in the shared affection for romance narratives. With its carefully curated programming and focus on community, this convention is poised to become a cherished gathering for fans and stars alike.
Whether one is an avid follower of Virgin River or simply seeks a charming weekend filled with heartwarming encounters, this event in Nashville promises to deliver an unforgettable experience.
