Cedarwood Weddings

When we started the wedding planning, my husband and I were looking for an outdoor wedding venue where we could feel safe about having our wedding during COVID and where it could be easily accessed from downtown. We had many out-of-town guests and we wanted them to have the full Downtown Nashville experience and still have easy access to our venue. Cedarwood was the perfect location and gorgeous property.
From the venue, to the staff, to the vendors, all was flawless. Cedarwood is simply beautiful. From the moment one steps on the property you are transported to a pastoral Tennessee setting. The flow of the venue is one of its strengths. I don’t think we realized until our wedding day just how the ceremony location, barn, pavilion and lower level each created almost separate rooms, but all joined together to make the venue interesting and inviting.
The talent of the floral and decor team is beyond words. The floral arrangements everywhere, and I do want to emphasize, “everywhere”, were stunning. We had a vision about the florals and they captured everything we imagined. The boutonnieres and bouquets were coordinated with all our colors as well as my bouquet, which was gorgeous. Our guests were amazed at the quantity and beauty of the florals. It wasn’t just the flowers, it was also the hand lettered signs, the candles, the linens. The beauty of all of it was just hard to take in.
Designs in Paper captured the look we wanted from the save the dates, to the invitations, to the programs, and table numbers. We love our custom seal which they also incorporated on our thank you notes. The food was just delicious. Chef Christopher’s team worked with us to create a specialty seafood bar and based on the compliments, they could open a restaurant just serving their lobster rolls. Baked in Nashville created the most exquisite and unique cake with fall florals in buttercream. The cake looked like a painting. We were shocked at not only how beautiful it was, but how great it tasted.
My mother and I, who were planning the wedding, are not people who easily give up control in a planning process and we were a little worried about how our day would turn out after one major planning meeting. However, Kelly and her staff were extremely responsive to our many emails throughout the months leading ahead and they absolutely delivered on our wedding day. We walked into the venue, and everything was set up perfectly. We had a great experience at Cedarwood and they delivered exactly the wedding we wanted. Every outside vendor we spoke with conveyed how much they look forward to working weddings at Cedarwood because the staff makes it so easy to do their jobs. Our day was run smoothly by Kelsey, our Day of Coordinator. We were aware of no hiccups because she handled everything and allowed us to keep enjoying the night. We loved our wedding at Cedarwood and would recommend an event there to anyone.
Multiple guests, young and old gave us a consistent comment, “Your wedding was one of the most beautiful, yet comfortable weddings we have ever attended. No detail went unnoticed, and it totally felt like you!” Many Nashville residents who had never attended a wedding at Cedarwood commented, “Cedarwood is a hidden gem.” Cedarwood realized our vision and made our wedding day everything we desired.
