Why do brides want to get married at Sycamore Farms?
Brandy: Its brand spankin' NEW! That means our venue offers all the modern amenities that brides want in a venue such as heat and air conditioning, a large capacity, and island ceremony setting. Brides are very impressed with the 8 ft. by 9 ft. custom double cut crystal chandelier. They love the luxurious bridal suite with makeup stations and the cool grooms suite with the foosball table, poker table and shuffleboard table for entertainment. The heat and air conditioning and spacious bathrooms with quartz countertops are very attractive to brides.
What type of bride does Sycamore Farms attract?
Brandy: All types! Brides looking for an elegant luxury venue and brides working with a budget. The Barn at Sycamore Farms can easily be transformed into a bride's vision. Our Canadian Skirl Cedar wood is very unique because it has tons of dimension in the woodgrain but also has a wavy edge. It looks rustic and refined at the same time.
How is Sycamore Farms different than other barn venues?
Brandy: Several features set us apart from other barn venues. Heat and air conditioning, the island capable of seating all the wedding guests, a custom 8 ft. by 9 ft. crystal chandelier and covered verandas. One of the largest advantages of our barn is the heat and air conditioning. We have 3 separate systems to keep everyone comfortable. The main hall has a unit, as well as a unit for the bridal suite, and a unit for the grooms suite. At the touch of a button the bride and groom can easily adjust the temperature in their room to remain comfortable. Another benefit of our venue is the large capacity. Our main hall is large enough to seat 300 guests and covered verandas can seat 150-250 more guests. The verandas also offer a stunning view of the lake, island and 100 year old Sycamore tree. Depending on the size of the wedding we have held ceremonies on the island, under the Sycamore tree, in the barn and under the Sycamore veranda. In the case of inclement weather our brides do not have to worry. Since we have the covered verandas and heat and air conditioning there are many ways to accommodate the bride and her guests in the case of rain or extreme temperatures.
What is the most innovative feature about Sycamore Farms?
Brandy: The lake and island really set us apart from any other venue. Many venues have a lake, but not an island capable of seating the entire wedding party and guests. Brides are very excited about a waterfront wedding ceremony completely surrounded by water in the Tennessee countryside.
