Even though there are many great event & wedding venues around Nashville and Franklin, we do have a few that are favorites! The Barn at Cranford Hollow and its variety of amenities – including a state-of-the-art caterer’s kitchen, charming lighting, and beautiful bride and groom suites – makes it a top pick for hosting a wedding in Middle Tennessee. A family-owned and operated farm, The Barn at Cranford Hollow sits on 50 acres in Middle Tennessee. Built in 2015, the 6000+ square foot, Amish-built barn now plays host to a variety of event types & sizes. The design is modern and clean, making it a versatile space with which hosts can pull off the event of their dreams. To help you determine whether this venue aligns with your vision, here are a few ideas for hosting a wedding at Cranford Hollow.

Outdoor Ceremony & Portraits

What better way to say “I Do” than outdoors in the fresh air? The Barn at Cranford Hollow offers plenty of spaces for a wedding ceremony. Afterward, you’ll be able to make the most of seasonal foliage, which can be used for beautiful natural photo backdrops. In addition, Southern Events is proud to offer a range of rentals for your nuptials. Including a variety of geometric wedding backdrops, from an elegant hexagon to a boho-inspired triangle.

Elegant Neutral Interior

Although a barn, this event space is far from rustic. It is painted with neutral colors, including black and white, and features industrial details. Guests will enjoy an intimate ambiance, thanks to a high ceiling lit by an elegant chandelier and string lights. Within this space, you can achieve a variety of styles and themes, from boho glam to elegant minimalism.

Below you’ll see our romantic wedding set up, including sweetheart and reception tables. They are set with crisp linens, classic white china, and pink-rose gold accents, like our Copper Glass Chargers. Complementing the ultra-feminine and contemporary look are our always popular Acrylic Carrigan Side Chairs. A touch of whimsy is lent via our Cybil Glassware!

Covered Patio for Socializing

In addition to the indoor area, a covered patio exists on the side of the barn, overlooking adjacent land. It’s a beautiful spot to watch the sunset, as well as host a cocktail hour! During the daytime, guests will be able to stay out of the heat and easily travel in and out of the indoor event space. Making it an ideal location for your event bar, cocktail tables and lounge areas.

Here you can also feature our curated lounge packages, with options for a variety of event styles. Or, create a small food and beverage area, using our Loren Gold Bistro Table or Harpeth Bar. Moreso, create an interactive backdrop where guests can create a keepsake, using our trendy Boxwood Hedge Walls.

Shannon and Tom are two wonderful New Yorkers who wanted to throw a larger-than-life Southern picnic wedding. Their whimsical day was held at Green Door Gourmet, a working farm in West Nashville. For the ceremony, family and friends were invited to have a seat in our White Folding Chairs while the newlyweds exchanged vows under the Cedar Arbor. Guests were then treated to a cocktail hour with our Bistro Tables draped and tied with a Slate Poly linen.

For the reception, this grand soiree with a large guest list took advantage of the duel-level barn seating with round tables upstairs and rectangular tables on the main level. The Slate Blue was carried into the reception, accented by a Red and White Check Napkin, creating a whimsical nod to the farm venue. The newlyweds sat amongst their guests in Cross-Back Chairs and enjoyed their first meal as Mr. and Mrs. with our Cameron Flatware.

Thanks to the ladies at Modern Vintage Events for pulling all the fun details together. The wedding design delighted not only the newlyweds and their guests, as Shannon and Tom’s big day was featured on Style Me Pretty! Such a fun and upscale take on a farm wedding. Thanks to Cassidy Carson for the stunning photos!
