We had our grand opening September 2022. We have an intimate team along with us to help with wedding and venue management
How did you get started in weddings?
Sarah: I’ve always dreamed of being In the event space more full time and me and my husband started tossing around the idea of building our own space. Once we found the land, we new it was right and dove right into building our own space. We knew we wanted it to be a modern and elegant twist on the traditional barn venues you see in Tennessee.
