Kacy and Michael’s luxury Nashville wedding was a celebration of style and sophistication, beginning with an elegant rehearsal dinner at the Hermitage Nashville and culminating in a stunning reception at the Nashville Public Library. From the custom champagne tower to the literary-themed reception, every detail was thoughtfully curated to reflect the couple’s unique taste. With the help of Southern Events, their vision came to life through carefully selected rentals that added an extra touch of luxury and charm to their unforgettable celebration.

Sipping in Style

While the pair didn’t host a hotel wedding, the Hermitage Nashville was an idyllic backdrop for their sophisticated rehearsal dinner. The celebration started with an elegant cocktail hour, where guests gathered around our 6-foot Thompson White Bar, elevated with a custom bar menu on a banner. The real star of the show however was the champagne tower. It featured Gatsby Coupe Glasses filled with champagne and edible flowers, delicately stacked atop the Chelsea Marble Top Bar. To keep guests comfortable, tables in blue patterned linens and wood Harlin Dining Chairs were placed nearby.

A Refined Rehearsal Dinner

In addition to fun spring-inspired cocktails, Kacy and Michael’s guests enjoyed a catered dinner in the Veranda. It was a stunning backdrop, with the floor-to-ceiling cathedral windows and a ceiling painted to look like blue cloud-filled skies. Here, a single banquet table was outfitted in ivory linens, contrasted by classic black Chiavari Chairs with white padding. Place settings were simple, featuring White Coupe China, Bradley Flatware, and Pure Glassware. While fresh flowers and bright blue menus provided a romantic splash of color.

Dinner & Dancing Among the Stacks

The couple’s ceremony took place in the lobby of the Nashville Public Library. Afterward, the wedding reception was hosted in the Grand Reading Room. Guests spent an evening in elegance with a dash of scholarly charm, surrounded by rich wood paneling and shelves filled with literary classics. The wedding party sat at a long banquet table and guests at round. The crisp white table linens offered a sleek look in contrast to the cozy wood Cross-Back Chairs. Set against our luxurious Ophelia China and Austin Gold Flatware, soft blue linens were a fun splash of color.

Following dinner, guests were treated to the wedding cake. It was perched beautifully atop a table draped in our soft blue-hued Somerset Linens. A Full Oval Bar was close by, the perfect size to accommodate the newlywed’s large guest count. Meanwhile, a black and white dance floor in combination with the vaulted ceilings offered the illusion of a luxurious ballroom wedding. A custom stage with white podiums lined with florals made for an elegant backdrop, in addition to housing the live band.

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.

With natural light pouring into the wedding venue from all angles, 14Tenn in Nashville, Tennessee is a sought-after event space for holding weddings and events of all shapes and sizes. As one of the venue’s exclusive vendors, we adore designing and dressing this space with our unique wedding and party rentals. The gorgeous, well-lit event venue becomes something new each and every time we get the opportunity to create events there. Crisp white walls, warm wood floors, and obscenely large windows create the perfect canvas.

For a recent style shoot with Styled Shoots Across America, we had the opportunity to create a luxe and inviting wedding look at this Middle Tennessee wedding venue. Our Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa and Chairs brought a welcome pop of color to the serene and modern space. We added our Navy Rug for warmth and comfort (guests always love an inviting space to sit and chat). When working with white walls and wood floors, we jump at the chance to bring in gold accents. The color combination always creates a swoon-worthy – almost ethereal – look that brides and grooms look for on their wedding day. We brought in our Gold Chiavari Chairs to evoke that magical, blissful feeling that all wedding days should have!

For the wedding reception portion of the design, we combined rustic elements with rich, warm colors. Our Fruitwood Farm Table and mismatched white vintage chairs were both inviting and rustic. To up the elegance a bit, we added Magnolia Green Velvet Linens, Hob Nob Glassware, and Gold Accent China.
