Nashville Wedding Venue Featuring Gardens, Waterfalls, and Farm Beauty
We've been welcoming couples to our 40-acre farm for years, and there's something truly special about watching Nashville couples discover our gardens, waterfall, and authentic farm setting. Just 10 miles from downtown Nashville, Barn in the Bend offers the feeling of a secluded countryside retreat.
Gardens, Waterfalls, and Farm Beauty for Your Nashville Wedding
When couples first visit us, they often say they donβt expect to find such genuine farm beauty. This place has been in our family since the 1940s, and we've spent the last 20 years raising horses and cattle here. The waterfall and gardens aren't just for weddings; they're part of our everyday farm life.
Barn in the Bendβs views of the Nashville skyline are a surprising highlight. As the sun sets during your cocktail hour, downtown Nashville lights up in the distance, providing a stunning backdrop to your celebration.
The Spaces That Make Your Day Flow Naturally
Our 8,000 sq. ft. climate-controlled party barn comfortably seats up to 225 guests. The Italian string lights and ceiling draping create that warm glow everyone loves, while our rustic bar area keeps drinks flowing smoothly.
For your ceremony, our covered wedding chapel seats 150+ guests with room for overflow standing. The pergola backdrop creates a romantic atmosphere, with vows resonating naturally in the open air. If weather's a concern, our indoor ceremony option with a chandelier and candles gives you the same intimate feeling with complete comfort.
Farm Beauty That Actually Belongs Here
The waterfall and fish pond add to the natural beauty of our working farm, creating a perfect backdrop for photos and celebrations. Our gardens change with the seasons, and the rolling pastureland with cattle and horses reminds everyone this is a real farm, not a themed venue.
Your photographer has full access to our farm for engagement and wedding portraits. The antique couches, mirrors, and farm tables we provide have their own stories and add genuine character to your celebration.
What We Handle So You Don't Have To
Our micro wedding package includes everything needed for intimate celebrations of 50 guests or fewer. We provide your officiant, wedding cake or cupcakes, bridal bouquet and boutonniere, plus access to both our bridal suite and groom's quarters. Table centerpieces, a beverage station, and a sound system with Bluetooth are all included.
For larger celebrations, we work with caterers specializing in Southern, Italian, and Mexican cuisine. Our wedding director meets with you 30 to 40 days beforehand, helps create your timeline, runs your rehearsal, and stays with you through your grand exit.
Nashville Skyline Views and Real Countryside
Looking west, you'll see the Nashville skyline, especially gorgeous during sunset ceremonies. Turn north for the hills and lights of Goodlettsville. Look east toward our pastureland, where our cattle and horses remind you that this countryside setting is completely genuine.
We're 20 minutes from downtown Nashville, 15 minutes from the Grand Ole Opry, and 30 minutes from the airport. Perfect for out-of-town guests who want to explore Music City.
Beyond Weddings: Other Celebrations We Love
We host corporate events, birthday parties, graduations, baby showers, and elopements, too. Our elopement packages range from intimate 30-minute ceremonies for three people up to two-hour celebrations with 30 seated guests.
Corporate groups get six hours of venue access for up to 200 guests, including setup and breakdown time. We provide tables and chairs, plus connections to the best local vendors.
Conclusion:
Your celebration deserves a venue where the beauty feels authentic, and the hospitality comes naturally. We'd love to show you our gardens, walk you past the waterfall, and let you experience these spaces firsthand.
