With its rustic charm, the venue features a beautiful, modern barn surrounded by lush landscapes, providing the perfect countryside view from our outdoor covered wedding chapel overlooking the Nashville skyline.
Our Story
Jackie and David were high school sweethearts and have been married for 50 year. They have lived on the farm where they built their home in 1985 and raised their 3 sons, which has been in operation since the early 1940βs. It has been a dairy farm and now, for the past 20 years a horse and cattle farm.
The reception barn was built in 1998 for their sons to raise and train their horses. It soon became a big business, but in August of 2012, the business closed its doors for the last time opening the doors for Barn In The Bend in 2013.
David and Jackie made the perfect team as they spent the first year being completely hands with designing, construction, and all the renovation process. Within the year, they were able to see their dream venue come to fruition and are always making improvements.
David is always the go to guy when it comes to any form of maintenance around the farm. Nothing is too big or small for him. You will probably see him directing your guests as they arrive to share in your special day.
