Southall Meadows is your one of a kind, pet friendly, farm venue tucked away just outside of Leiper's Fork in Franklin, Tennessee. With 200 acres of rolling hills and farm land, couples can choose between five ceremony locations, two indoor and three outdoor. The main reception location is a century old Tobacco Barn that leaks in the afternoon sun creating a soft, golden glow in your reception space. With a "choose your own adventure" mentality, couples have the freedom to pick and choose where the main events of their wedding day take place.
Facilities and Capacity
Couples can comfortably seat 250 of their closest family and friends in the main reception barn. With a true capacity of 360, couples have the option to move between the indoor cocktail space and reception barn. The Tobacco Barn is known for its dreamy golden light in the afternoon and boasts three crystal chandeliers down the center aisle. You have three outdoor ceremony sites, the ceremony tree which is located in the middle of our field, an arbor and a gazebo. Southall Meadows is excited to introduce a brand new building known as "The Hall" which features brand new getting ready suites, permanent restrooms for guests, a new indoor ceremony space and an indoor cocktail/event space.

Location
Southall Meadows is South of Nashville in Franklin, TN. The 200 acre property is surrounded by rolling hill as far as the eye can see. Couples will enjoy a day full of privacy and serene beauty.
We decided to do the all-inclusive package at Southall. With an out-of-state bride, this seemed to be the most reasonable choice. We are so pleased that we did. Sarah and Kayde went above and beyond in their efforts to make my daughter's wedding a memorable and beautiful day. They worked tirelessly to achieve her vision and the result was truly amazing. We had a wonderful experience with them and would recommend them to anyone! If you are looking for a flexible, semi-rural, but very elegant setting, Southall is your answer.

The Perfect Farm Wedding Venue
We stumbled upon Southall Meadows online in the initial broad search for a wedding venue. The location was convenient enough and the price point for a venue in Franklin TN was reasonable so we casually took a drive to go check it out. Everything changed when we turned down the gravel drive. It was perfect. Completely private and natural. Quiet but not too remote that people couldn't find the entrance. Absolutely unlike any other wedding venue we had seen online or in person. It was the farm wedding venue 'feel' we had searched tirelessly to find. Arguably the best part is that we were met by Sarah, the director of operations at the farm. We were allowed to take in the property in private, without being 'sold' a venue and without being handed brochures and information on why the property was so perfect for us (something that was a big negative at other venue meetings...)
It is truly a beautiful farm, only slightly modified from it's farming past to easily accommodate weddings, events, parties, etc. With the simplest design, they turned a working barn into a fully functioning ceremony venue and reception hall without losing any character and charm. The grounds are immaculate and clean with only enough manicuring to make the property completely accessible and usable while not ruining the views of the acres of crops and fields or the nearby Tennessee hills.
Beyond the beauty of the property and facilities, the staff and team at Southall Meadows made our planning a dream. Every question was answered quickly and efficiently with options and modifications if the initial desire wasn't the best approach. There wasn't a detail they missed to help us plan our wedding and they were amazingly compatible with all our vendors (who were thrilled by the way when I mentioned that the wedding would be held at Southall Meadows... that's key!)
Even when the entire plan changed the morning of our wedding due to thunderstorms, they somehow managed to make our day relaxing, calm, and arguably even better, with an alternative emergency rain plan that our guests thought was the original idea all along!! It was extremely helpful to have a contact like Sarah who takes her job so seriously but with such a genuinely calm and laid back approach. Nothing seemed like a sales pitch or a job with her and we cannot say enough good things about the entire experience working with Southall Meadows!

The best rustic barn in Nashville
The best rustic barn in Nashville!
The staff are the best communicators!
I did not have one thing to worry about once I chose this venue. Planning a wedding out of state is not easy. Southall made the planning process easy! The day of the wedding was more than I could have ever asked. If I had to do it over again I would chose Southall!

Southall Meadows is a beautiful venue! There are beautiful trees surrounding the area, and there is plenty of room for guests to enjoy the grounds. There are amazing framed mirrors that are hung throughout the barn as well as elegant chandeliers. Sarah, who manages the venue, is passionate about hosting guests and is great to work with! I would definitely recommend that you check out this venue!
