Lilly K. Sent on 01/26/2023Hands down the best decision I’ve made in life..
Drakewood Farm is literally a brides dream. Arline and the whole team have such an eye for detail and have such big hearts, you feel like you become part of the family. They handled so much of the logistics that I knew I’d get bogged down with contacting and pricing, it made the process so seamless! The day of was very relaxed and it’s all because I knew they understood our vision and I’d seen the amazing work they have done so it was easy to trust them. Aubrey was the absolute best and deserves soooo much praise for the work she puts in and how she helped the day go by smoothly. We loved the outdoor seating area for the ceremony and the reception inside was gorgeous. We had almost every guest tell us what a beautiful venue it was and how it was the most gorgeous, fun and best food they’ve ever had at a wedding.
I cannot recommend Drakewood Farm enough and that’s not just because my husbands name is Drake! -

I was looking for something that would be all in one since this is my second marriage and Arline and her team made everything so seamless. The day of went fabulously well, they know exactly what they are doing and stayed on track throughout the whole ceremony and process. I can't thank them enough for their attentiveness, professionalism and kindness for our special day! If you are looking for something that is outdoors with the option of being inside (just in case) and somewhere they will take care of all the arrangements, from the photographer to the flowers, then I would highly recommend Drakewood Farm! It was the best decision ever!Drakewood Farm's reply:
Thank you for letting us be a part of your amazing day. We loved your yellow color scheme and you had such a beautiful day to get married on! Congratulations to such an amazing couple. -

We just held my daughter's wedding at Drakewood this past weekend. They exceeded our expectations in every way. My daughter knew from the moment she toured the property that she had to have her wedding at Drakewood. She fell in love with the wedding ceremony site in the woods. From the initial conversations to our amazing day this past Saturday, the people at Drakewood, especially Aubrey, took care of us and every detail. We gave her staff a Pinterest board and they made it come to life, even better than we imagined. The property looked beautiful. The flowers and decorations were gorgeous. The food from Crave was just so good, people are still talking about the Bourbon Braised Short Ribs. Aubrey helped to pin down every little detail with us so that the day flowed beautifully. Our guests had so much fun. They couldn't stop talking about the beauty of the location and how wonderful everything was. Many told us it was the best wedding they have ever attended! The bride and groom were glowing all day and we are so happy to have been able to provide this perfect day for them and for everyone who attended. I cannot recommend Drakewood enough. It was so nice to have so many things included and taken care of in the package we got and then Aubrey helped us to add other perfect touches. We are on cloud nine! Do not hesitate to choose Drakewood for an absolutely perfect wedding. -

Kaitlin Z. Sent on 12/13/2023Beautiful and Flawlessly Executed Wedding Day!
This is perhaps the easiest review I’ve ever written. Drakewood Farm was the most perfect wedding venue that Andrew and I could have picked. Not only is the entire property gorgeous, but the team there made our planning experience so easy and our wedding day absolutely seamless. We were having a destination wedding, and were planning this day all the way from California, never having seen the venue in person until the week of the wedding. You could say that we were nervous. What if the place wasn’t as pretty in person? What if our vision didn’t translate well over email and things weren’t how we envisioned them? As soon as we saw everything and met the Event Manager, Aubrey Doyle, and the rest of the team in person, our concerns melted away. Not only did they understand our vision, but they executed it perfectly. On the day of, we didn’t have to do or think about a single thing. We brought some of our own personalized decor, and we barely even had to explain where we wanted them or how to set them up. The Drakewood team just GETS IT. They handled every aspect, and did it all in-house. The decor, the catering, the florals, the DJ… Aside from alcohol delivery for the bar (which they helped with) and a photography and videography team, we didn’t have to hire any outside vendors. Thinking about how stressful a wedding day can potentially be, compared to the complete absence of stress that I felt on mine, lets me know for sure that we chose the right venue. Everyone there was so kind, so helpful, and absolutely professional. I couldn’t recommend them any higher! ❤️Drakewood Farm's reply:
Kaitlin, we can't thank you enough for taking the time to share about your experience with us! We loved celebrating you and Andrew! We're so honored to have been a part of your big day. -

Wedding planning can be the most stressful time, Drakewood takes ALL the stress away!!!
I worked with Aubrey from the first tour of the property to wedding day. It was the best experience! It’s an all inclusive venue but they make your wedding feel and look so uniquely yours!!
The moment you step on the property you will feel party of the drakewood family! They make you feel so welcomed and through the entire planning process they are so good at listening and communicate with you and Aubrey can truly bring your dream wedding day to life!!
On my first tour of the property Aubrey told me on my wedding day I wouldn’t have to stress about anything, and that was absolutely true! From set up to take down me and all my guests were able to just enjoy the entire day/night with no worries at all!
Thank you Drakewood for giving me my dream wedding!!
If you want a stress free wedding planning and wedding day and a beautiful wedding, Drakewood is your venue! -

Drakewood is phenomenal! The venue, the staff, it’s all just amazing and we couldn’t be happier that we chose them for our big day! The staff made planning a destination elopement super easy and blew me away with the final outcome! I’m obsessed with my florals and photos/video and our guests are still raving about it! 10/10 highly recommend- we’d do it the same way in a heart beat- only we’d have a reception to enjoy the beautiful scenery a little longer! -

Best Wedding!
I chose Drakewood Farms so that I wouldn’t have to do anything and could know that it would be exactly what we wanted! It was very easy to pick our micro-wedding package, let them know our style, pick out details, and add-on extras. They were very responsive and not at all over bearing. There were so many beautiful details that I would’ve have had trying to plan it on my own. The location is beautiful and the food was delicious!Drakewood Farm's reply:
Sarah so glad you had a great wedding. Thank you for the kind words. You were joy to work with. Hope you get a chance to come back to visit in the future. -

I really don't even know where to begin! Our November wedding was everything I dreamed of for my daughter! The beauty of the mansion, "wedding in the woods" ceremony area, groom's cottage, and barn--combined with the attention to every detail by the staff--made my day as mother-of-the-bride enjoyable and stress-free. No worries about setup or cleanup for the reception. The sweetheart table they set up, guest tables (with real china, flatware, glasses, linens, etc.), were exquisite. The florals were more beautiful than I imagined, too. My husband and I traveled in from out of state, so having everything taken care of was perfect!
Each and every staff member was attentive, catering to our every wish--from the owners, Arline and Doug, to the coordinators (three on site that day, but Lizzie and Kayla were the main ones for us), caterers, florists, DJ, bartender, and groundskeeper. All-inclusive at Drakewood Farm is definitely the way to go! The only thing not included was the photographer, but the photographer they recommended, Tiffany with ACE Photography, did incredible work!Drakewood Farm's reply:
Cindy we loved having your family at Drakewood Farm. Bekah and Shepard are the sweetest couple. Bekah's choice of wedding colors and decor were beyond beautiful. We are so glad we got to share such as special day with you. -

Abby I. Sent on 11/10/2021Best all-inclusive venue!
If you're looking for a venue that has it all, Drakewood is the place for you! Our wedding package included pretty much everything we could have possibly needed: ceremony & reception decor, catering, cake, floral arrangements, a whole house for our bridal parties to get ready in, a live musician for the ceremony, a DJ for the reception, bartenders, and so much more. It took one planning session that was about 2 hours long to go over our Pinterest board/vision for our wedding day and to choose our food menu. The only big things we had to worry about on our own was stationery, alcohol, and our wedding attire. The team at Drakewood was so fun to work with and made sure we had everything we needed to make our day as relaxing, fun, and beautiful as possible! Special shoutout to Bekah for being the best day-of coordinator ever! -

I knew the moment I walked onto the Drakewood Farm property, that it was going to be my dream wedding. Not only is the venue absolutely breathtaking, but the staff is so well organized and genuinely sweet. Every single corner of this property is photo worthy; starting with the bridal suite, groomsmen suite, outdoor ceremony and reception barn. Our guests could not believe how beautiful everything was, there truly is nothing like this in the country (believe me, I looked)! Arlene was there during the planning process to answer any questions that we had and put our minds at ease. They even helped sign our marriage certificate and sent it into the county clerk, talk about going above and beyond. There was not one hiccup that day, because the planning was done to perfection. Not to mention, the food was SO tasty as well. I would recommend this place 100% to anyone looking to have the wedding of their dreams without completely blowing out their budget.
Drakewood Farm, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for creating a day that we will cherish for the rest of our lives! -

Stacy K. Sent on 12/06/2020Beautiful Barn Venue Near Downtown Nashville
If you are looking for an all-in-one venue that has amazing options for an outdoor or indoor ceremony, gorgeous/natural scenery as a backdrop for photos, and a team that will go above an beyond to make your day perfect and stress-free, then Drakewood Farm should be your venue! When looking for a venue, we knew we wanted an option that spoke to our roots – Drakewood has small town charm just minutes away from downtown Nashville and is a great option for couples who appreciate all that nature and the outdoors have to offer. Even the reception venue, which is an extension of the barn, gives you the perfect balance of embracing the natural scenery with floor to ceiling windows that can be pulled open all while providing a roof over your head. No need to worry about planning a “rainy day” tent. This was also one of the few venues I looked at in the Nashville area that had both a bridal and groom suite on site for the entire wedding party to get ready.
If you are looking for a planning and a design team that you can trust to take care of all big planning steps and small details, go with Drakewood! We were able to describe and share a few pictures of the vibe we wanted for our wedding and Leann made our vision come true and then some! From the florals, to the color palette, to the design details. Everything was absolutely perfect. And they have great relationships with vendors from catering, to cake/baked goods, musicians/DJs and so much more. If you have an idea, they can recommend a vendor partner. Unlike some of the other “all inclusive” options in the area, you have the flexibility of choosing from so many options from design to vendors so you are able to truly make your wedding your own.
We had the not so fun task of planning our wedding during a global pandemic. The team at Drakewood Farm went above and beyond our expectations to be flexible with the constant changes in plans and implementation of COVID safety protocols. Major shoutout to Heather for holding our hands every step of the way. And for keeping us, our guests, and all staff safe.
Our wedding ended up being the BEST day, even if there wasn’t a global pandemic. And we have Drakewood to thank for that. We cannot recommend them enough. -

Lets just begin with these words: Breath-taking, Beautiful, Elegant, Marvelous! The characterization of detail expressed from our quest as we celebrated the wedding of our Daughter.
The staff, and I mean every individual made the venue come to Live! Our vision was a bit Challenging as we themed it "RUSTIC ELEGANCE " with lots of bling!!! Believe me they certainly exceeded the challenge. And Asha was ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING! Mother Nature said "NO" to an outside wedding but Drakewood- Heather LeeAnne & Co. said YES.
The catering service and choice of DJ was on point. The florist created a beautiful and unique setting. Heather and her crew were fun and easy to work with. I highly recommend their services. -

Drakewood Farms was amazing as a wedding venue. Heather was our coordinator and she did an excellent job getting the exact vision I had in mind for the day. Everything went beautifully and if there were any issues I never heard about them. This location is an all inclusive venue who uses trusted vendors for catering, DJ, and cake. I believe they actually take care of the flowers themselves. The whole day was like my wedding pinterest board come alive! All the guests raved about the decorations, food, and cake. The DJ was great and kept the dance floor busy all night. I could not have asked for a better day for our wedding day! -

My wife and I travelled all the way from Newfoundland, Canada to do a destination wedding in Nashville. The team at Drakewood farms were amazing to deal with in figuring out all of the details from a distance to make the day just as we wanted it to be. The venue is absolutely stunning. There are so many areas for great photo opportunities. We were in awe when we first visited upon arrival to TN and then it was even more beautiful when we seen it fully decorated. You could tell the staff care about making things right, having a personal touch and taking all of the stress off the couple. LeeAnn even added me to Facebook afterwards to keep in touch with our journey and see all of our wedding pictures.
We got married on a Tuesday and the cost was very reasonable. We were able to bring in our own alcohol and just hire the venue's bartender which was great to cut down on cost for an open bar.
I highly recommend this venue to any couples tying the knot. -

Perfect Fairytale wedding, venue takes care of everything
Our wedding was an absolute fairytale! Drakewood takes care of everything and takes away the stress of wedding planning. I gave them an idea of what we were looking for and they brought it to life. Heather and LeeAnn are incredibly helpful, responsive, professional, and friendly. They made sure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day so we could just enjoy our day. The property itself is beautiful with lots of photo ops. They do an incredible job decorating to your taste. I cannot say enough about this venue/staff. -

Drakewood Farm is the best! Heather and Leanne were such a dream to work with! They made my day an absolute dream come true! They even surprised me with a few details on the day of that I had dreamed of having! Heather is extremely detailed oriented and Leanne keeps everyone in line the day of! I am not an overly mushy person and loved that I felt like all of the details were taken care of yet they genuinely cared about the outcome of my big day! Cannot recommend enough! All of my guests raved and raved about how beautiful it was! AND THE CAKE, oh my gosh. So good! -

I fell in love with Drakewood immediately! It's absolutely beautiful! We wanted a small wedding with just our kids, but yet wanted the full wedding experience. Drakewood Farms was perfect! From the very beginning I always received great fast feedback and answers to my many questions. Perfect destination wedding! The weather was not on our side that day but Drakewood was able to coordinate with the vendors and move the time back slightly to accommodate without me even fretting. The day was perfect! Both my husband and I were very pleased with our elopement at Drakewood!! -

Everything and more !
We wanted a venue that could take care of all the details for us. I didn’t want to worry about hiring a wedding planner and dealing with finding different vendors. Drakewood took care Of literally everything and let me be involved as much or as little as I wanted to be. Everything turned out so perfect on our wedding day. Everyone at Drakewood is so friendly and helpful. By the time the wedding came to an end I felt like all the wonderful Drakewood employees were family. I can’t say enough great things. It’s beautiful, there are so many options, it’s a county settings without being out in the middle of nowhere! It’s in a super convenient location and easy to find. Go check it out! You will not be disappointed y’all! -

My husband and I got married at Drakewood in September and it was nothing short of PERFECT for us! When we got engaged, I knew I wanted to get married around the Nashville area because it is close to where I am originally from. However, we lived in Atlanta at the time so I knew we would have to do some long distance planning and it could require numerous tips to Nashville. This is one of the reasons we chose Drakewood! Arline, LeeAnn, Heather, and everyone else at Drakewood went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed without needing to travel all the way to Nashville. You truly got to know these people planning your wedding and they really took the time to make sure they accommodated anything we asked for! The whole process was very easy since we chose one of their all inclusive packages. They took care of everything from the amazing food through Crave catering, the most beautiful flower arrangements, DJ, setting everything up perfectly, and allowing our adorable dog Knox to be apart of the special day. We could not have asked for a more perfect day for us all thanks to Drakewood and the AMAZING people that work there! -
