Front Porch Farms = The Wedding Venue Front-Runner
My wife and I got engaged on Christmas Eve 2019. No sooner had the new year rolled in than she (certainly the better half!) began researching wedding venues. That is when she came across Front Porch Farms in Tennessee. It was the first AND last venue that we visited!
Now, my wife didn’t tell me until after the fact, but our visit to Charlotte/Ashland City on that mid-January day wasn’t really a reconnaissance mission, as she was already confident that Front Porch Farms was THE one. To her credit, she was right. Admittedly, I am generally a little slower when making “big(ger)” decisions, as I like to see all of my options first, but sometimes in life, you just know right away. Before we even left the property that day, my mind was made up. Like my wife, I just felt it in my gut that this was THE place. Almost seven months later (and nearly a month after our wedding), I write this review, knowing that without a doubt, we made the right decision. Even now, my mind continues to replay the brilliant scenes of our wedding day at Front Porch Farms over and over again - such was its magic.
So, if you are a couple looking for a venue for your upcoming wedding, I would strongly encourage you to consider Front Porch Farms - even if you do not live in Tennessee (my wife and I don’t!). I will summarize our experience as best as I can, in hopes that it proves helpful to you and yours. Here goes! ...
The venue itself at Front Porch Farms (FPF) is so picturesque, it’s almost absurd - and I mean that in the best of ways. Hopefully, if you are reading this, you have seen photos; I can assure you that what you see in them is the real deal. FPF includes a beautiful house seated atop a hill, commanding a remarkable panorama of surrounding hills, lush trees, and grassy fields. The venue also contains a reception pavilion, bridal suite, cottage/guesthouse, and outdoor lounge areas, to name a few other amenities. As far as the ceremony site goes, FPF provides several options. However, in my eyes, you cannot top the great oak tree on the hill. I’m a massive J. R. R. Tolkien fan, so when I first saw the tree, it reminded me of the Party Tree in Hobbiton in The Lord of the Rings. I couldn’t pass that up. Fortunately, my wife humored me! If you decide to go with FPF for your wedding, know that it will surely leave a lasting impression. It’s been almost a month now since we were married there and we still have friends, family, and other guests that attended reminisce about its beauty.
Kathy Best (FPF owner and event planner) was a joy to work with. She was very professional, knowledgeable, and supportive of our hopes and desires for the big day. You can tell that she and her team have been doing this for a while, as they seem to have things down to a science. Yet, I want to point out that this does not mean that we were ever treated as just another couple or that our wedding was just another event. On the contrary, Kathy made us feel like VIPs. From start to finish (that is, from our first visit to the property to the end of our wedding day), Kathy went above and beyond to ensure that it was what WE wanted it to be. Along with Alex Westerhouse (in-house floral and event stylist), Kathy tailored everything to match/reflect our personal tastes and style. In short, the look of our wedding was very much us. My wife and I had envisioned a smaller, more intimate wedding and Kathy and Co. totally honored that throughout the process. It turned out gorgeous.
Looking back, I can honestly say that having Kathy as our planner/coordinator was definitely one of our wisest decisions. My wife and I made the choice early on to put the onus on someone else. What with all of the moving pieces, we knew that we might become overwhelmed trying to do it all ourselves, which would keep us from enjoying the buildup to the event and especially the wedding day itself. By putting the weightier stuff on Kathy’s shoulders, my wife and I were able to be fully present in the moment at our wedding. And, Kathy handled it wonderfully. I was actually pretty stunned when it was all over, because I kept expecting something at least minor to go wrong (such is the case with almost every wedding, or so I’ve heard), but nothing ever did. (And, if it did, we didn’t even notice!) I credit Kathy for this, as she kept things running smoothly, was attentive to people’s needs, and made helpful suggestions by reading the situation (e.g. encouraging guests to stay in their air-conditioned cars until right before the ceremony on account of the heat). I’m not sure if it’s normal to say this, but our wedding was pretty much stress-free (and mind you, it was a stiflingly hot and humid July afternoon in Tennessee during the COVID-19 pandemic! #SweddingDay). I would not change a thing. My wife and I still recognize just how fortunate we are to have been able to have our wedding day given the current circumstances around the globe. The fact that it still managed to be our dream wedding too was an incredible bonus.
I give Front Porch Farms top marks, because it completely exceeded our expectations. Sure, my wife and I were convinced of its quality back in January, but when our actual wedding day arrived, we were blown away by the final product. It was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined (and FUN to boot!). Of course, the actual marriage (i.e. the lifelong journey together) is the most important part, but we’re very grateful to have the special memory of our wedding day to treasure forever. Thank you, Kathy, Alex, Brian, and Co., for helping to create that special memory for us! -

My Picture Perfect Dream Wedding
I had the pleasure of getting married at Front Porch Farms on November 1, 2025. The day was stress free thanks to Kathy and her team. From the day we toured the venue to the actual wedding day, Kathy has been an amazing venue host and built in wedding planner. What seemed like was going to be a stressful process of planning a wedding was made so easy and stress free thanks to Kathy! She keeps everything organized together throughout your planning process, all documents are easily accessible and communication throughout the all is amazing! She took care of it all: the cake, catering, flowers, DJ, decor, tables and chairs, and so much more! It was all included in the cost! I just had to buy my dress, my husband's tux and our rings. The day of, I had one job - show up and get ready. Kathy and her team did it all. They turned my ideas and vision into one of the most special days of my life. Through countless photos, messages, emails, Pinterest boards, Kathy and her team got all the details correct! I would HIGHLY recommend going and falling in love with Front Porch Farms, just as Jacob and I did! Kathy, her Team, and Husband all make you feel like you're part of the Front Porch Farms family! I wouldn't change a single thing about my day thanks to Front Porch Farms! A million out of 10 recommend!-

If you have a Pinterest-perfect vision for your wedding, FPF is the place to do it
My husband and I just got married here in October of 2023. We had an awesome experience with Front Porch Farms. When it came to picking a wedding venue, and especially given that we planned a destination wedding in Nashville, our #1 goal was finding a spot without a "one-size-fits-all" approach. We had a specific vision in mind, and we wanted the freedom to execute it.
Accordingly, we loved Front Porch Farms because the space is a really solid blank canvas where you can put together whatever kind of wedding fits your style. Kathy has a really comprehensive catalogue of staple accessories and decor available to use, and she works with amazing florists and vendors who can hook you up with the rest. The view from the property is also unbeatable. By far, our guests had the most to say about the look/location of our wedding. From the place settings to the ceremony flowers to the sunset over the cocktail area, the ambience and decor could not have been any better.
We also opted to have Kathy work with us a wedding planner and coordinator. Of course, planning a wedding can be stressful, but Kathy ultimately set us up with everything we wanted and more. When I was unlucky and had a minor wardrobe malfunction right before walking down the aisle, for example, Kathy had a seamstress on speed dial who rushed over to sort me out. I think that, if you're the kind of bride who wants someone to tell you exactly what you want to hear, or if you want someone to spoon feed you wedding details, Kathy isn't the planner for you. If you want a partner who will work with you to make your day the absolute best it can be, I think opting to have Kathy plan your wedding is a great choice. There really was not much we threw at Kathy that she was unwilling to talk about or try, which made for a really cool, unique wedding.-

Front Porch Farms is AMAZINGGG!! ♥️
My husband and I are from England, and we dreamt of getting married in Nashville TN for the longest time. We didn’t want a huge wedding, Just our closes family members. We saw Front Porch Farms online and decided to message Kathy for some help. Kathy was Brilliant, her communication is second to none, she was in constant contact with us even with us being across seas!! Kathy arranged absolutely everything we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Her attention to detail is flawless, and she is so accommodating!
The venue itself is breathtaking, like something from a dream! You can see how hard these guys work to look after the land and maintain the venue! Without seeing the venue in person, and after 2 years of planning, 12 of us flew out from UK to TN and had the absolute best time, we had the wedding of our dreams and make life long friends in Kathy Best!
Highly, HIGHLY recommended!

A Dream Wedding at Front Porch Farms
My husband and I got married at Front Porch Farms this year and it was a dream come true thanks to Kathy Best! Not only is the venue gorgeous, but Kathy and her team went above and beyond to help create the most perfect day. Everything is tailored to you, and Kathy creates your wedding package based on your wants and budget. Kathy is extremely professional, knows the wedding industry inside and out, and was so kind and accommodating with any questions or requests that we had throughout the planning process. The wedding day was seamless and so smooth, it would not have been possible without FPF's team. It's my greatest joy to tell people that I had a completely stress free wedding day and one of the best days of my life! Thank you, Kathy!! -

Perfection!
Front Porch Farms is the most beautiful venue I have ever visited! We knew as soon as we got there that this was the place we wanted to book for our special day. The landscape was breathtaking, the groom/bridal suites were incredible and spacious, the reception space was set up exactly as we imagined. There is not a thing that I would have changed about our day. The flowers, the ceremony space, the reception, the food... all of it was perfect! Kathy was such a joy to work with and I could not more highly recommend booking Front Porch Farms for you wedding! -

Attention to detail and personable!!
When we looked at this venue I knew it was the perfect place for me and my husband. We just had our wedding this November and everything was perfect. Kathy and her team made sure everything was in place and just how I wanted it. Kathy even went above and beyond and made a lot of my floral pieces by hand just so everything could match. The views from the hilltop of their property are breathtaking. It was a bit too cold to have our cocktail hour outside by the pool but that space is to die for! Anyone would be lucky to be married here and have Kathy and her team help keep things to the plan and well executed.

Incredible venue and coordinator - highly recommend!
We absolutely loved having our wedding at Front Porch Farms! Kathy was amazing to work with from the start, and she was very attentive to us throughout the process of planning the wedding! We could not speak highly enough of her. She has a lot of experience and is truly genuine in her desire to help brides and grooms pull of their perfect day. Front Porch Farms is an incredibly stunning venue, with a blend of natural beauty from the surrounding hillsides, southern charm from the gorgeous reception barn, and a touch of sophistication with the poolside bar. Many of our guests said they had never been to a more beautiful wedding! We would highly recommend Front Porch Farms as a wonderful wedding venue. -

BEAUTIFUL venue and wonderful planning experience
The owner of the venue and all in one planner/day of coordinator really knows how to turn your vision into reality (and more than we could have dreamt of). Kathy put a package together with just a few Pinterest images within our budget in just a few days that blew us away. We didn't need to look at any other venues. Being an out of state couple she really took the lead and made the whole process easy with just a handful of emails and phone calls and a google doc. Not everything went as planned the day of due to the weather and covid reducing staff but honestly we didn't notice and we we were still able have an absolutely beautiful ceremony outside. I was stressed but Kathy stayed focused and made it happen! It's really a great venue and Kathy knows what she's doing so if you are looking for a little bit more of a hands off experience where you let the team work their magic with your insperation this is a great venue! Photos from SheHeWe Photography are included they are an incredible and amazing to work with as well.-

Our Dream Wedding
Everything about Front Porch Farms was magical from the get-go!
We fell in love with the property upon our first arrival, and didn't even feel the need to look any further for our perfect place to get married. The views from the front yard, where we held our ceremony, are breathtaking no matter which way you look. Kathy Best's (owner, wedding planner extraordinaire) home is out of a story book, and the backyard pavilion, pool, cocktail bar, etc had everything we wanted and more for our reception. We were sold on location and setting alone - but Kathy made the entire wedding planning process a breeze, which kept it enjoyable all the way. She had a bride, a mother of the bride, AND a mother of the groom to deal with and did it all with a smile on her face! Ha. Day of, her entire team made everything seamless. The decor was absolutely stunning - no detail was missed. Don't even get me started on my flowers, y'all! Nobody could believe how unbelievable the bouquets were. My husband and I worried about NOTHING, enjoyed our special day to the FULLEST, and we now get to look back on the most beautiful pictures of the most beautiful wedding in the most beautiful place. 10/10 would recommend Kathy and Front Porch Farms to anyone! -

Absolutely Perfect
Married 10/02/2020 at Front Porch Farms. Absolutely perfect. I had such a hard time describing what I wanted and my vision on top of coming from out of town... and I must say these two ladies Kathy and Alex nailed it. It was beautiful. Every single person LOVED the venue and wondered where I found this magical place. People kept saying how stunning the view was and couldn’t believe how gorgeous the flower arrangements were! Basically, that this was everyone’s favorite venue they’d ever been too!! I mean this place is the place to be. Hands down I can’t say one negative thing about Front Porch Farms. Everything was perfect. Thank you everyone from Front Porch!-

Simply wonderful
Obviously the views at Front Porch Farms are breath taking, but besides that, Kathy and Brian were a pleasure to work with. We decided to find a new location a month before the wedding due to COVID regulations in Nashville. I found FPF and immediately fell in love. Kathy immediately answered my call and helped me work everything out. She informed me that she normally works with her preferred vendors but since I had everything booked, she allowed me to bring in my own. We were so thankful for that. She was also insanely organized. Even my DOC commented on her planning. It made my life a breeze. I never had to worry. All vendors were contacted and moved to the new venue. It was easy. The day of my wedding was amazing. Everything went just as I had imagined in my head. The only thing I would have changed is to have added heaters in the venue for my guest. It was the end of October and it got a little chilly.
If you are looking for the perfect venue, please check out FPF and Kathy. She was so sweet, so helpful, and so organized. You won’t be disappointed!!! -

Incredible Venue, with even more incredible staff!
There are not enough words to express how incredible my experience was working with Kathy and Alex at Front Porch Farms. They went above and beyond to help me create the wedding of my dreams! From the moment I chose this venue, their team took care of so many of the hard parts of the wedding planning process. After showing them my Pinterest board of decor ideas, they took those and designed a beautiful ceremony and reception set-up that was better than I could have dreamed of. They took care of flower arrangements, recommended vendors to use, coordinated the caterers, and were readily available to answer any questions I had.
On the day of the wedding, Kathy and Alex took care of EVERYTHING so that my husband and I were able to soak in every minute of the day, stress-free. Afterwards we had not one, but two of our guests take the time to send us letters telling us how it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. I was so lucky to have my wedding at Front Porch Farms, and I highly recommend it! -

Wedding Bliss at Front Porch Farms
As the mother of the bride, Front Porch Farms eliminated all stress! I was prepared to help book everything, set up and take down everything, call every vendor, look for best prices, and I did not have to do any of that! Kathy and Alex worked tirelessly on making my daughter's vision come true. The team is both professional and personal, know how to plan for the unexpected, and keep everything timely. The vendors had worked with them on numerous events and each vendor spoke so highly of Kathy and Alex, which is very telling, and certainly made me feel at ease with all the details.
Having visited abouot six venues, Front Porch Farms stole the heart of the bride. From driving up the driveway to the top of the hill to see "THE TREE", the glorious grounds, the open pavillion with beautiful tables, chandeliers and string lights, and then speaking with Alex about how the all-inclusive worked, she was certainly sold on this venue. (Not to mention that it was by far my favorite.) While each venue we toured had something she liked, Front Porch Farms was the PERFECT one. This ONE complemented them in so many flawless ways that are too numerous to mention.
If you are looking for a venue that captures you, gives 100 percent to help find your vision, knows exactly what they are doing and when to do it, coordinates your day beautifully, and has a zilliion decorations that you can use....choose FRONT PORCH FARMS. Your wedding day could be perfect!

The most perfect outdoor venue
I can't even begin to express how much I love Front Porch Farms! Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful, but Alex and Kathy were spectacular the day of the wedding, making sure everything was taken care of and running smoothly. From nailing our decor and perfecting our dream wedding, to making sure we (the bride and groom) were taken care of throughout the night with food and drinks, Front Porch Farms truly made our wedding the best it could be. Our guests are still commenting to us months later about how beautiful the venue was and what a wonderful time they had. If you're considering this venue, look no further! -

Beautiful Wedding, Easy Planning, Loved Our Big Day!!
Our wedding turned out beautifully. What a day to remember! I’d definitely recommend Front Porch to anyone who wants a beautiful outdoor wedding in the country that is easy to plan with spectacular views. The venue has a farmhouse chic outdoor pavilion with hanging lights, farmhouse tables, swings, outdoor fireplace and vintage couches and dressers, tables etc.
They basically plan the wedding for you, give you a template to work off of for the day to make it simpler to plan out the day and they have on-site staff included running the show to help you relax and just enjoy the day. Their packages include most everything, such as flowers, food, the ceremony aisle flowers, petals down the aisle, some signage etc. For me this was important because I didn’t want to spend my time sweating the details. You tell them your wedding colors and they pull the decor together and floral arrangements throughout the venue, including your bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets and flowers for the guys.
For getting ready, there's a grooms barn for them to get ready and a bridal suite as well. A lovely home to hide out in before the outdoor ceremony in front of a beautiful oak tree. Our guests loved the space and took lots of photos for themselves.
Our photos were beautiful there. So many lovely options for a backdrop from trees, barns, hillside views, outdoor fireplaces, and an antebellum style home etc. You won't be disappointed with your photos from the day because the venue is so lovely. I would recommend making sure your photographer has two people because you'll want someone down the hill with the groom for his photos and then up in the bridal suite area. This way they can capture the full day. Plus they get more at the ceremony and reception too.
I'd definitely recommend Front Porch to anyone looking for a shabby chic farmhouse style wedding with beautiful outdoor views and easy wedding planning.

Front Porch Farms - The Best Nashville Has to Offer!
My husband and I could not have been luckier to have come across Front Porch Farms as our wedding venue. We live in Chicago and planned for a destination wedding in Nashville. Kathy and Alex make an incredible team! They were available whenever we needed, providing us with so much support along the way. There was not one area I can think of where Front Porch Farms was any less than the absolute best. Our wedding day was greater than anything we could have dreamed. Kathy and her team worked around the clock to make sure any questions I had were answered and any concerns I had were taken care of immediately. Alex has a magical talent of taking whatever vision I had and executing something even more incredible! All of the guests claim our wedding was the best wedding they had ever been to, and even though I am bias because it was my day, I completely agree! Our wedding would not have been as special if it were anywhere besides Front Porch Farms. Our vendor, Pig and Pie, had all of our guests over the moon with delicious food and super friendly service. Front Porch Farms was the second best decision I could have made regarding my wedding, the first being saying I do to my husband! -

The Perfect Day
We are so grateful for everything that Kathy & Alex did to make our wedding day perfect! All of the details were beautiful, and they are really great about making sure that you don't forget anything! Our family and friends are still talking about how everything was beautiful that day, and one of my bridesmaids is wanting to get married there now too! If you're looking for a beautiful wedding venue with great staff and planners, this is the perfect place! -

I attended a wedding a few years before we had our own wedding here and fell in love with this venue. When we got engaged, I knew I had to bring my now husband to Front Porch Farms because I had remembered how beautiful it was. This was the only venue we visited and were in LOVE. We are so glad we chose Front Porch Farms. Kathy and Alex are super helpful in the wedding planning process and keep everything so organized! They work well with your budget and do not push you in one direction or another while making planning decisions. Our wedding day could not have been better or more beautiful. The property is absolutely picturesque. We had nothing to worry about the day of our wedding because we knew that Kathy and Alex had everything under control! They are a pleasure to work with and wish I could go back to that amazing day over and over again. Highly recommend! -

They planned my wedding in two months and the whole process was completely stress free and the day of the wedding was gorgeous. The staff was wonderful to work with and they were very accomodating to my budget. I would highly recommend this venue!

Front Porch Farms was an absolute joy to work with. Kathy, the owner, and her family were so inviting and welcoming with our new family as we planned out the wedding. Alex, the coordinator, was such a blessing to our wedding day. From drying chairs off not once but twice to keeping our events on schedule....she truly knows what she is doing! She coordinated and arranged all of our flowers and decor, the catering, and the rest of our vendors used for our wedding. FPF is an absolutely gorgeous venue with an absolute breathtaking view!! -

Our daughter's April 22 wedding was at Front Porch Farms. There is not a more beautiful setting for an outdoor venue. From the first tour of the facility, to lights out wedding night, everything was perfect. Staff knows what they are doing and work it like clockwork. Whatever you're vision - Magical, fairytale, rustic, chic, spiritual - you find every element at Front Porch Farms. Thank you to the staff for making our daughter's day even more than she dreamed! -

Where do we begin?! We were able to take some beautiful photos in the front yard and the front steps, but torrential rain forced us to move both the ceremony and reception into the pavilion. In no time, Kathy, Alex and the team transformed the reception area into a beautiful, welcoming church! Despite rain and unseasonably cool temps, no one thought twice about the change, and everyone seemed to have an absolute blast. Most of all, my beautiful daughter took it all in stride.
From our first conversation a year ago through Saturday, Kathy helped take care of every detail and asked questions before we even knew to ask. She treated this wedding like my daughter was her own. She also opened her amazing house for photos and family gatherings/reunions before the ceremony, and i'm sure she spend most of yesterday cleaning water and mud off her floors. All of our guests raved about FrontPorch Farms. Thank you Kathy for an incredible experience. -

I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to look back on my wedding day and remember a day that was beautiful, authentic to me and my husband and just flat out fun! Kathy is amazingly talented at creating a day that reflects your personality, style and wedding wishes. My husband and I were able to just RELAX, enjoy our guests and the day. We had multiple guests tell us that it was the most beautiful wedding venue they had ever seen and the most fun reception they had attended. I would definitely recommend Kathy and Front Porch Farms to any couple looking for a beautiful and unique outdoor venue! -

If you're looking for a venue thats beyond beautiful and an amazing woman who will do anything to make your day special then look no further than Front Porch Farms! I fell in love with this place from the get go, I saw pictures online before I was even engaged, and as soon as I was we went and toured the place immediately! I was only reassured in my adoration for this place. Its absolutely breathtaking, from the grounds to the view to what I've seen can be done with the space. I had to get married here! From the initial meeting with Kathy all the way to the "I do's" I felt at ease about everything. All i had to do was give Kathy my hefty wedding pinterest board and she got to work figuring out and planning everything to be just as I'd imagined. I was able to have fun planning along with her while she handled the stressful parts. I got to go to tastings and pick out colors and play with all my options while she put it all together. When the day of came, everything was amazing. I was in a lala land of all my visions coming to life, it was so beautiful! All of our guests loved everything we put into the wedding to make it special and one to remember, and we have Kathy Best and her team to thank for that! Seriously call Kathy and watch your dream wedding come to life. :) -

We had the most wonderful experience with Kathy Best and Front Porch Farms. She was so organized and responsive from the start. The work she does beforehand to make sure they have every possible detail on your big day is amazing, and it makes it so you just enjoy it with no one coming to you with questions or needs. She offers suggestions and options for everything you need. The day of was perfect and everything went so smoothly.
The venue is incredibly beautiful and was exactly what I dreamt of for my wedding. If you're looking for a beautiful outdoor wedding, choose FPF! -

This venue was AMAZING. It was absolutely beautiful and fit the country-chic vibe my husband and I were going for. Kathy and Ashley are very organized and did a fabulous job making sure every detail of the night was planned for and taken care of. When we got to our wedding, all we had to do was show up and enjoy the evening!
Another GREAT perk is that the venue has a ton of decor items including candle holders, stumps, frames, etc, that you can use FOR FREE! They also have nicer items that you can rent including couches, tables, chalkboards, etc. Every need you have, they will take care of it! They also set it all up for you to look super cute for a small fee.
Also, Kathy does an amazing job of referring her brides to really great vendors. She referred me to my florist (Cathy Wilson, who was AWESOME), caterer (Bacon & Caviar - they rocked), and cake maker (B. Jackson's Bakery - so delicious). All of the vendors offered affordable rates and provided excellent service. I really appreciated her help!
Everyone at the venue is incredibly nice and accommodating. This is so refreshing as an overwhelmed bride!
My only comment for future brides is that Front Porch Farms is best suited for a warmer-weather wedding. We had ours in November and it ended up adding a lot of expenses trying to keep the pavilion warm! With Nashville weather being so unpredictable, we were hoping for a warmer weekend, but there ended up being an "artic blast," and we were left spending unforeseen money buying additional heaters and tenting. This really wasn't the venue's fault however, it was more based on our decision to risk a quasi outdoor reception in November.
We also spent a lot of money on busing our guests out to the farm, but as long as you keep these expenses in mind beforehand, it is an absolutely wonderful experience! -

From the moment my husband and I visited Front Porch Farms, we knew it would be the perfect place to get married. We could not have been happier with our venue selection; Kathy, Brian, Ashley, and the whole FPF crew were so incredibly easy and wonderful to work with! Kathy knows all of the right questions to ask to make sure your big day goes off without a hitch. Everything from the planning process was executed perfectly thanks to these great folks! -

Kathy, at FPF is such a great woman and very easy to work with! :) She is the master at organizing and making sure that your day is FLAWLESS! I didn't worry about a thing, thanks to her, and if something came up it was fixed right away (So I was told ;)) Not only is Kathy and her staff incredible, the venue is out of a fairytale. I never saw myself getting married outside until I saw this venue. You HAVE to check it out! You won't regret it! To this day, I still have people telling me that was the prettiest wedding they had ever been too! Thank you so much Kathy and FPF Staff! Josh and I couldn't have been happier! -

Our wedding and reception at FrontPorch Farms was more than we could have dreamed of. The venue was gorgeous and the staff went above and beyond for us. We chose Nashville as a destination wedding, with no one in our family living near FPF, so almost all of the wedding was planned from afar, with the help of the wonderfully-responsive staff. Kathy Best and the crew pay GREAT attention to detail, thinking of little things I would not have. I never worried about the wedding day because I knew they had triple checked everything ahead of time.
The crew worked as a well-oiled machine the day of, making the day stress-free and relaxing. If I didn't have time to take care of something, they had already done it for us. The staff were always around if anything was needed and kept everything on schedule and running smoothly.
FPF also offers a variety of options to fit a variety of budgets. Since we were from out of town, we weren't familiar with vendors in the area. The team sent us a list of caterers/photographers/bakers/etc with reviews that they have worked with in the past ... giving us trusted options in a variety of cost brackets. You can also choose to have as many (or as few) "props" and decorations as you'd like, allowing for a more expensive or more frugal of a wedding as you prefer.
The only thing I was concerned about with this venue was the drive for guests, who were all coming from out of town. But no one minded the drive to FPF or had a hard time finding it ... They loved it!
We highly recommend FPF and appreciate the hard work the workers put in to every event. :)

I had my wedding here in May 2014 and it was honestly like a fairy tale. Kathy and Brian Best and their staff were awesome! The property looks like a dream. We had our engagement pictures taken the year before at the farm and they turned out beautifully so we knew how wonderful the property looked in the spring and early summer. Kathy worked with me tirelessly for months on planning every detail to make sure that our day was perfect. She is very organized and if you use her services as a planner they are well worth it. Every vendor I used was through her recommendations. Her staff decorated everything so wonderfully and I did not have to worry about anything. They made it magical. If you are looking for a wonderful outdoor space with a view this is it. I can't thank them enough for really allowing us to have such a relaxing, beautiful and magical wedding. -

I simply cannot say enough about this venue. As I was searching for Nashville venues this was one of the first ones I came across. My immediate response was, "This would be my DREAM venue." Little did I know, we would actually get married there!
I had fallen in love with the place online, and it was even more beautiful in person - and we had visited in the middle of winter! When we came back in the Spring, it was so much fun seeing the place come to life with flowers, greenery, and a breathtaking view.
Planning a wedding is one of the most stressful things I've ever done, even as a bride bent on keeping things simple. With that said, Kathy did a marvelous job keeping me on track and providing suggestions throughout the entire process.
For me, budget was important since I wasn't spending the $$. Having the budget talk with my parents came in handy to help set clear guidelines for myself and sisters as we selected accessories. Everything at FPF is straight from Pinterest, so you really don't have to spend a lot of time on crafts.
Tips to a successful wedding at FPF:
1. Treat Kathy's family like family - they're genuine, loving people and it's their home that they are sharing with you!
2. Pick a clear wedding style early on. I wish I did this sooner because wedding planning is hard enough - switching between styles on all of your vendors is an extra headache you don't need - and this will help when you go to select FPF accessories.
3. You can go as simple or as extravagant as you'd like, but remember this - no matter what happens including crafts you didn't finish or accessories not in your budget - you will have an absolutely beautiful wedding if you choose to have it at FPF.
Here is the link to our wedding video. We also had Jeb Wilson from Nashville photography group take ours photos (to-die-for) and the White Room in Lebanon is where I found my dress!

My husband and I knew we wanted our setting to feel natural, intimate, and most importantly like a home away from home. When we arrived at Front Porch Farms, we were blown away. From the shabby chic guest house to the insanely beautiful hilltop views, and the randomly placed porch swings...we just couldn't imagine a better venue for the Party of our lives. Kathy is wonderful to work with and gives great advice on vendors & decor. The day of, Kathy and her staff are calm, cool, and collect, which is exactly what you need the day of your wedding. -

My husband and I got married at Front Porch Farms and it was truly the wedding of our dreams. Kathy and her amazing team at Front Porch Farms are incredible. As soon as we booked with Kathy, she sent vendor suggestions and a details sheet that made planning so much easier. Kathy was very attentive to each and every detail of the wedding from decor, deliveries, schedule and ceremony rehearsal. Take her vendor suggestions...they are the best in the business!
The venue is so unique and breathtakingly beautiful. Her home sits on top of hill and you can see the rolling hills of Tennessee and the cliffs by the river... gorgeous! Also, the pavilion and pool area are perfect for cocktails, dancing and the reception. Our wedding party got a little rowdy and jumped in the pool at the end of the night! It made for great photos...
Thank you Kathy and Brian for allowing us to host our wedding at your lovely home. Our flower girl told us it was "the best night of her life," and ours too! We wish you both the best! -

Our wedding at Front Porch Farms was all we ever could have dreamed. As soon as we visited this place, we knew we wanted to be married here. The whole staff at Front Porch Farms work so hard to make this already beautiful venue even more spectacular. From the guest house, the main house, the pool, front yard and pavilion it really is a dream location for a wedding. Our wedding was on a Sunday, the day after a huge wedding the Saturday before and the venue looked perfect. Their crew and team really do everything they can to make the day go smoothly. Our guests mentioned time and again how their couldn't have been a more beautiful setting. Thank you Kathy and Brian for allowing us to have our wedding at your wonderful place. -

I am giving Front Porch Farms a 5 out of 5. Kathy and her crew are very helpful and want to make the day perfect. I didn't ever feel stressed out about the big day throughout the whole process. The vendors that they suggested were PERFECT for us! The obviously only recommend the best.
I could not have asked for a more perfect day. I am not the most organized person so thank goodness Kathy is so organized and got all the details in the schedule worked out. I literally could not have done it by myself. I just thought they were a lovely family to work with. Kathy's little daughter was absolutely precious! She kept saying that I looked like sleeping beauty! So sweet! Anyone looking to have a country chic wedding Front Porch Farms is definitely the place! -

Front Porch Farms is the perfect place to get married. It is a gorgeous, romantic outdoor setting with a view that will literally take your breath away. The Front Porch staff is incredibly friendly, organized and helpful. They did an amazing job and went above and beyond for us with the planning and execution of the wedding. From the minute we signed our contract with FPF until the last guest left at the reception, Kathy was on top of every detail. She and her staff are incredibly talented when it comes to event styling as well. It's nearly impossible to find a venue that has so many things included (chairs, decorations, etc.) and where you can have both your ceremony and reception. Our guests left saying it was the most beautiful and most fun wedding they have ever attended, thanks to FPF! -

Kathy and Brian at Front Porch are unbelievable. They opened their home for our daughter's special day and it was awesome. The service and attention to detail was exceptional. Many guests commented on the attentiveness of the service. The day was crazy, we had rain, but it was so beautiful. Can't wait to go back!!

Kathy, Brian, Katie and everyone at Front Porch made our day perfect. From the first moment that we met with Kathy she made me feel good about the whole process. Her laid back but efficient attitude ensures that everything will get done the way it should but you still get to enjoy the day. Every vendor we used at our wedding came from her recommendation and every single one of them performed above and beyond what we could hope. Being a couple who has only lived in TN the past two years, her expertise and guidance in picking the right people to do the job was critical to our day going off without a hitch.
Their home and everything about it is beautiful. Even though the weather did not cooperate as we would have liked and it was a bit chilly I would not have picked another venue. From the moment I saw the property I was sold and knew that nothing could compare to that feeling. We knew that was where we wanted to get married.
To have someone open up their home to you and make you feel a part of their family on such a big day like your wedding is an honor and it takes very special people like them to do it. Our wedding day was beautiful, laid back, relaxing, happy, fun and full of love and it is all thanks to the Front Porch family. -

We chose this venue from the very beginning and we couldn't of been happier! We loved every minute of it and Kathy was so accommodating and helpful. Her team did a wonderful job at ensuring that we all had the best day and that all loose ends were tied up before the wedding began. Kathy was very thoughtful and thorough with all of the details and would keep me in the loop with all the things going on. I LOVED this place and I know that anyone who has a wedding there will not be disappointed. -

We could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding! So many of our guests told us it was the most beautiful wedding they have seen, and we definitely agree! Kathy, Brian, and their crew worked so hard to make sure everything was perfect, and they paid attention to every little detail. Kathy was so helpful throughout the planning process, and she recommended the best vendors! -

We absolutely loved working with Kathy and her staff. We looked at other venues, but none compared to Front Porch Farms. The location was beyond beautiful, the staff was very responsive, thoughtful, and easy to work with. Kathy's attention to detail made the day flow very well. Our wedding and reception went perfectly and a large part of that was almost entirely due to Kathy and her staff and Front Porch Farms. The price may seem high at first, but is well worth everything included in the package (rentals, wedding coordination from Kathy, location, ease with vendors). Kathy and her team are well equipped, professional, and act like veterans in the wedding venue arena. We could not be happier! Sincerely, The Foxes -

When my now husband and I pulled up to Front Porch Farms last August we knew that we were done with our search. I truly couldn't believe how I could fall in love with a place so quick, what I couldn't believe even more is that Kyle was just as in love with it as I was. It is insane how you drive only 30 minutes outside of the bustling city but feel as though you are on a secluded mountain where it is only you and the ones that matter most. Kathy and Brian have made their home warm and welcoming and it is so beautiful that it will make you unbelievably jealous. Kathy was my wedding planner and day of coordinator and I truly wouldn't have done it any other way. Kathy immediately made up a spread sheet and timeline of everything wedding. She also helped us out with vendors that were best for our budget.
We were the first wedding of the season for most of our vendors and it was pretty exciting to get the season kicked off! The forecast was calling for rain which was such a bummer, but we had a rain plan and we were prepared for the worst. It rained. And it rained. Kathy came to me a couple hours before the wedding and asked about setting our rain plan up. I just could not do it. I'm so glad I didn't, the sun came out and we had the most gorgeous out door ceremony I could imagine.
As for our decor, I wanted to be the DIY bride. Most of my projects came out exactly as I wanted them to and I was very happy with the outcome. I brought all of our decor out three days before the wedding and when I stepped foot on to the property I was amazed. I expected a lot, I truly did, but when I walked out I couldn't believe all that I received. The smallest details were paid attention to.
Front Porch Farms is where our Happily Ever After began and I hope to be able to visit again. It will always have such a happy place in my heart and I am so happy to be able to say that I married the man of my dreams there. Thanks again Brian and Kathy! -

As a wedding planner, I deal with lots of venues and I have never encountered one more willing to accomodate, responsive and just all-in-all an excellent place with even better owners and staff. Front Porch Farms is a real find that will challenge other farm wedding venues to offer better service because of the great experience clients have at Front Porch Farms. Best venue I have ever dealt with!

We absolutely fell in love with Kathy and Brian as well as Front Porch Farms the first day we met them! They were the first people to not be shocked when we mentioned our large guest list, to encourage us to be a DIY wedding, and to allow us to let this be "our" day! Kathy and Brian were MORE than accommodating spending tons of time before the wedding and the day of to get things prepared! Brian spent many hours making farm tables and hanging lots of accessories! Together they added many special touches and surprises that we loved and would never have thought to do! The day of our wedding Kathy and Brian actually had to travel out of town for other work priorities, but they made sure to have someone perfect in their place! I am still surprised they made their plane that day because they kept pushing back their departure time to spend more time prepping our wedding! We feel blessed to have met Kathy and Brian and to be a part of the Front Porch Farms family! -

It was an absolute pleasure working w/ Kathy and Brian Best and the entire Front Porch Staff for making our wedding day extraordinary in all facets. Although the rain called for alternate measures, Kathy was instrumental in rapidly coordinating a secondary plan which resulted in a beautiful ceremony inside the pavilion. All of our family and friends ultimately enjoyed this special day and made lasting memories. We sincerely appreciate all the hard work and dedication from Front Porch Farms and highly recommend this venue for all future brides and grooms.
With all our thanks,
Eivar and Austin -

As the mother of the bride and living over 400 miles from Nashville, I was grateful for the guidance Kathy provided my daughter as she planned her wedding. With sensitivity to budget and the bride's vision for the day, Kathy made suggestions and maintained the all important timetable that resulted in a beautiful, relatively stress free day.
I was most impressed with the calm, accommodating manner Kathy, Brian, and all the Frontporch Farms team brought together last minute details which freed us up to fully enjoy the day. -

I cannot begin to express how thankful I am to Kathy and Brian for their help in making our wedding day truly perfect. Time and time again, we were amazed at the things they were able to pull off while staying within budget. My dad commented that the venue is indeed breathtaking, but Kathy and Brian and their connections, hard work, and genuine desire to make couples happy is the real reason why this venue is an incredible one (definitely opt to have her do your planning!!) Our wedding wouldn't have looked half as beautiful without their help in the design, budgeting, and setup. Moving, working, and being in graduate school, I was so thankful that I was able to be as involved as I wanted to be, and she picked up slack when I just couldn't!
Our day could not have been better. We had guests tell us that it was the best wedding they'd ever gone to- the most beautiful, and the most fun. Our other vendors told us that they were fantastic to work with. Kathy and Brian Best's venue is the perfect bend of warmth and professionalism that you want to be part of your celebration. To say that they went bove and beyond is an understatement!! -

When I read reviews online about this place, people said Kathy really knows what she's doing and goes above and beyond your expectations. This is 100% true. People also said that their friends and family raved about their wedding saying "it's the best wedding they've ever been too". We found this to also be true. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding day. We truely had our dream wedding at Front Porch Farms. We are very thankful to Kathy and Brian for everything they did and opening their home to us and all of our friends and family. Can't find a better place for the beauty, money, and service. -

My wife and I both knew we wanted a country style wedding. We probably called and met with at least 15 different venues all over Middle Tennessee, and there was plenty to choose from. But after meeting Kathy and Bryan Best the first time in their living room of their beautiful country style farm house high atop the hills of Dickson County, we knew that there would be nothing better than getting married in the front yard overlooking the beautiful country side and the Harpeth River. The time and effort Bryan and Kathy put into making Front Porch Farms a top tier venue really shows from the time you cross the little bridge entering their driveway. Then it is a winding ride up the driveway to a beautiful hilltop with magnificent views of the country side while overlooking the Harpeth River. The yard is always carefully manicured with beautiful flowers and trees that served as a wonderful backdrop for our perfect day. When our wedding day finally came in May we were a little worried because of forecasted rain, but we knew it was our day regardless of weather. The big issue we had was the wind blowing some of our table cloths around in the pavillion, but Kathy was very quick to get on the phone with one of her rental companies and we were able to get sides for the pavilion and get them up before our guests started arriving.
Kathy was so easy to work with even with our “flip-flop” decision making skills; she would always have ideas and ways to calm our nerves. Kathy would always assure us that things would go off without a hitch. With everything that goes into planning a wedding, it was a lot to take on, but any questions or concerns we had Kathy and Bryan were always right there to help us, whether it was a catering decision, music, flowers, parking, etc. Kathy and Bryan were a pleasure to work with during our big day. We were concerned about not really having an officiant but Bryan was pleased to offer his services to marry us. It was a very nice semi-traditional ceremony and Bryan was kind enough to write a poem for us that just added to an already wonderful wedding ceremony. As nervous as we were, I find that most couples experience the same anxiety that we did, but Kathy and Bryan put us at ease and allowed us to have the wedding we thought was only available on TV. From the venue to all the little personal details our big day could not have been any better. Without Kathy and Bryan none of this would have been possible and I cannot think of a better place to start your lives together as newlyweds than Front Porch Farms!

My daughter was married at Front Porch Farms just one week ago. It was a breathtaking and memorable weekend. Not only is the venue beautiful, but Kathy and her recommended vendors were great at creating the look and atmosphere that was my daughter's vision for the day. I travelled from L.A. for the wedding and so had not been very directly involved with the planning. I am so happy to say that when I arrived at Front Porch Farms the day before the wedding, I was treated like family or an old friend by Kathy and Brian. They were very accommodating, but at the same time let us know what they needed to accomplish. They were quick to meet our needs from parking for elderly guests to arranging babysitters for the youngest attendees.
I didn't come away with any negative feelings at all. The wedding was all we hoped it would be. If you want an elegant, country chic wedding that fits your budget, I would not hesitate to recommend Kathy and Front Porch Farms. I read that some people were surprised by "extra" fees. Some rentals are extra - but we knew about them up front. If you are clear about your expectations, I think Brian and Kathy will be fair and clear with you. -

We had such an amazing wedding day. It was better than we could have anticipated. The caterer, florist, photographer, and musicians that Kathy connected us with were superb! Our guests could not stop raving about how it was the best wedding they had been to and the setting of Front Porch Farms is straight out of a storybook. Thank you helping us have such a special day. -

Front Porch Farms was amazing! There were so many personal touches from both Kathy and Brian that made us and our guest so comfortable on an unexpected cold day. Kathy even took blankets from her own house to cover some of our younger guests. It was such a pleaure to work with Kathy and Brian and they went above and beyond expectations to make our day a special one. We could not have found anyone who cared as much about making our day as memoriable as we did. -

Writing a review for Kathy and The Front Porch Farms is a piece of cake for me! My husband and I were married November 20, 2010 and I cannot reminisce enough about our perfect day. Kathy is beyond wonderful to work with on all levels, especially emails. She catered to my every need including always lending an ear to my frantic questions and supplying me with much needed details. She kept me within budget and literally made my eyes water when I saw the reception early on my wedding day. The decor was flawless and honestly more than I imagined. She and her team worked relentlessly as though it was their own special day. My colors were slate gray and cranberry red. These colors were radiant within the flowers, linens and table decor; her imagination and creativity were stellar in my book.
I would highly recommend Kathy and her team to anybody wanting a catered-to day. She met my every need to make our wedding personal and unique to our desires. I could not have dreamed of a more perfect day!! Thank you Kathy!!

As we walked the grounds of Front Porch Farms so many months ago, when the trees were bare and a large tent was to be the location for the reception, even then we knew that this was the place for our daughter’s vision to come alive. It was perfect. An outdoor wedding surrounded by the beautiful rolling hills of trees changing colors for the fall season. We had to use our imaginations a bit, but this was the place to bring alive the old-time family reunion atmosphere; the intimate family and friends event that Rachel so wanted for her special day. As the months marched by, Kathy and Brian made major improvements to the grounds and built a spectacular pavilion for the reception. No more tent.
The weather was perfect. What seemed impossible came together seamlessly with the help of Kathy, Brian and all the many vendors that listened to our ideas and brought them to life. Thank you to Beth for the most beautiful bouquets that I’ve ever seen. The reception tables were bragged on many times. The ceremony music that Keegan provided set the tone for what was described to us as the sweetest wedding ever. Mrs. J’s food was delicious thanks to Celeste Morris and her staff. Then there was the cake table, amazingly displayed with five cakes and three pies. I thought we would be eating on all these delights for months, but B. Jackson’s must have a straight line to heaven because there was hardly anything left. What few photos I’ve seen have beautifully captured special moments, thanks to Kristyn Hogan, and I can’t wait to see more.
We laughed, played, danced, talked, and before you could blink the bride and groom drove away to start what will be a blessed union. All of these things at the most lovely of locations. It truly was the perfect day! -

I am getting married at Front Porch Farms next June!
I was looking for a venue that symbolized southern charm, and something for a great value when I stumbled upon this new venue.
The moment my family and I arrived at the property we were sure this was the PERFECT venue for my wedding.
Kathy has been amazing and helpful for me, even though I still have some time to go. She has been working with me on great vendors for a great price, as well as some ideas for making my wedding more memorable.
My fiance and I are so excited to share our day with the Best's at their beautiful home.
I would recommend this venue to anyone searching for that hidden treasure off the beaten path. -

My fiancé and I are getting married at Front Porch Farms in June 2010 and we couldn't be more excited. From the first moment we spoke to Kathy and Brian and saw their amazing home, we knew we had found a hidden treasure! The setting itself is incredible....an absolutely charming vintage inspired home with multiple porches overlooking the most beautiful natural setting with rolling hills, trees, a pond, a barn, a lovely pool, a guest house....the list goes on and on! This place has everything you could ever want and we can't wait to be married in this fairytale setting!
On another note, Kathy and Brian have been an absolute joy to work with. They have welcomed us into their home on a number of occasions and always make us feel like our day is just as important to them as it is to us. They are genuine and sweet people who are willing to do anything they can to make your special day perfect!
Kathy is also working as my wedding planner and she has been an absolute blessing! Trying to plan a wedding in just a few months in no easy task and I don't know what I would have done without Kathy's help and suggestions. She has coordinated everything from the decoration ideas, florist, caterer, transportation, etc. There is nothing I have asked that she hasn't been able to accomplish. She is very professional and creative at any budget!
We can't wait to see everything pulled together in June! With this amazing home, incredible setting and Kathy and Brian's help, I know it will be a day we will never forget!

Kathy, Ashley and everyone at FPF were fantastic and made sure the planning and the day itself went smoothly. I took Kathy's recommendations for music, photographers and bartender and I couldn't have asked for better service. We had a small ceremony and I was a little nervous that it would feel sparse or unimportant, but everyone there made us feel like family. It was warm and personal and just as special as I had hoped. And the scenery – phenomenal. -

My husband and I got married here in April of last year. We could not have asked for a better wedding. It was amazing. Kathy and Brian have a home straight off of Pintrest! This venue can be dressed up for the finest black tie event or for a bride not wearing shoes. Steve and I are very casual, Kathy was able to pull all of our ideas and visions together to make that day beautiful. I never for one minute doubted FPF ability to pull it off. I still have people telling me that it was "the best wedding they had ever been to." Do yourselves a favor ladies.....Consider Front Porch Farms.
My 4.5 out of 5.0 is not a bad thing. If I learned one thing from planning a wedding it's this....You really do not want a wedding planner that treats you as a professional co-worker. This day is the most intimate day that you will share with your future spouse, best friend, family, and all those close to you. Kathy was very professional, but the moment we became friends was when she told me her honest opinion on a few things, I realized I had someone on my team. If they had "Star Ratings" for late night emails, heart, diligence, and honesty well then Front Porch Farms is a 10 in my book. -

My wife and I were recently married at Front Porch Farms. We can't say enough good things about this place. The setting is absolutely beautiful and we had tons of guests tell us the same. Kathy and her staff are very professional and they pay incredible attention to detail. Also, on the day of our wedding we had rain just before the start of our ceremony. Kathy was in constant communication with us and was more than willing to delay our ceremony by 15 minutes while we were waiting on good weather. While we were worrying about the skies, she was busy attending to our guests and making minor adjustments to the schedule to keep them happy and entertained. Luckily, the skies cleared up and her staff ran out to dry off the chairs so we could get married under the tree. Everything else ran so smoothly and everyone said it was the "best wedding I've ever been to." If given the opportunity to do it over again, we would absolutely make Front Porch Farms our first choice for wedding venue. -

The best day!
Thank you Alex and Kathy for bringing my dreams to fruition beautifully! Day of they could not have been more accommodating to ensure everything went perfectly. Their rain plan is incredibly flexible and I was at ease knowing they would do their best to make sure we had the ceremony we planned on. Week of Kathy takes a huge load of stress off as she coordinates with all of the vendors and I could not have been happier with Alex's florals that I'd been dreaming of! -

Elegant outdoor wedding
We recently had our daughter’s wedding at Front Porch Farms. (4-26-19) I was a little nervous about doing so, as I live 5 hours away from the Nashville area, and wasn’t sure how handling all the details of a wedding would work from afar. But my daughter lives in Nashville, and she and her fiancé were in love with the venue. For the first 11 months of planning, I was at times wary that everything would go smoothly. This was a totally different experience from my first daughter’s wedding, which was in our hometown. If I had realized how Kathy Best and Alex King manage and orchestrate a wedding reception, I never would have worried. The last few weeks before the wedding revealed how organized and amazing Kathy and Alex are. They were on top of every detail. It became obvious that they knew exactly what to do, as well as how and when to do it. The wedding reception for 175 guests was beautiful, and incredibly well-run. They helped provide an elegant, magical, and fairytale reception for our daughter, new son-in-law, and all our family and friends. Thank you, Kathy and Alex! -

My wife and I chose Front Porch Farms to celebrate the beginning of lives together. We had a fantastic experience and would recommend Front Porch Farms to anyone looking for that perfect place. We still get comments from our guest about how amazing the wedding was. Kathy and Alex were extremely helpful in recommending different vendor options and day of experiences. From setting up apt times to taking care of the minor details , they handled it. We will never forget that day! -

Kathy has a great crew, from Alex who helped plan, to her staff who helped all evening and cleaned up until the last table was cleared, and they all wanted to know if there was anything else they could do. We appreciate the full service and the all-inclusive model. Kathy's choice of caterer, florist, etc. was super. She even let me add an impact arrangement after the floral order was completed. Our daughter's wedding was absolutely beautiful. -

Kathy and her team at FPF were more than amazing! Aside from this venue just being absolutely breath taking it always helps to have the helpful staff and professionalism to go along with it. That goes really far with me and I'm so glad this venue was the TOTAL package. For starters it really is a dream come true venue. I could go on and on about how insanely beautiful the place is! You will certainly NOT be let down there! To make things even better everyone at front porch farms goes above and beyond to make sure your day is more than perfect. When I think back on the initial part of choosing venues I am SO HAPPY I went with FPF. I couldn't imagine having my wedding held any where else! -

I would recommend Front Porch Farms to any bride/groom that is wanting to have the perfect outdoor, country, vintage, chic wedding in Tennessee. The staff are easy to work with and helpful in all areas. They helped plan the event down to the smallest detail and were easy to contact with any questions. The day of, even with a few hiccups in the day, we were able to sit back and they managed every detail, followed the timeline, and worked with all the vendors to make sure everything flowed perfect! We felt that our wedding was beautiful and perfect! We received multiple comments on the venue, the view, the decor, and that it was the "perfect wedding".

When meeting Kathy at Front Porch Farms for the first time we were relieved to find someone who was happy and excited about providing a wedding venue and helping us plan our wedding. I am not a bride that has had my wedding imagined since I was a little girl and was not quite sure where to start. Kathy helped suggest vendors and put us in contact with amazing photographers (Cheyenne Ward & Laci Wilson) and an amazing bakery (Mrs. J’s). As a very busy nursing student, I did not have much time in the months leading up to the wedding to do much planning and Kathy and Brian were able to help me get the last minute ideas/details/decorations nailed down.
On the day of the wedding we had a couple hiccups as a storm had come through and caused a tree to fall onto the road to the venue. I had no idea any of this had even gone on until the sun came out and it was time to walk down the aisle. Although nothing could have ruined my mood that day anyway, Kathy & Brian took care of any issues that came up that day and remained calm through everything.
I would highly recommend Front Porch Farms to anyone who wants an outdoor Tennessee wedding.
Thanks Kathy & Brian! -

My husband and I visited several wedding venues and after stopping by Front Porch Farms (in Winter no less) we both unanimously agreed that it was the place we wanted to get married. We had an incredible experience. I wanted a wedding day that I was fully present for, and Kathy and Alex delivered. I have distinct memories of looking around at our reception, and thinking to myself, "This is magical." The beautiful light of golden hour was streaming in, and everything I had dreamed up was there. The entire day was completely stress-free for me, which was helpful, because I just wanted to marry my best friend! I am not a typical Southern bride because I am originally from the Midwest, and I am a designer by trade. I was so happy that Alex was able to incorporate my family's driftwood and agates from the Northwoods seamlessly into the nature/geometric aesthetic I had imagined. It was fun to be able to lend my own ideas for design without the stress of making it happen! Many people told us that ours was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. I think that was partly due to the beautiful surroundings and partly due to the fact that we were able to host an incredible event while keeping the main thing the main thing--thanks to the expertise of the staff at Front Porch Farms! If I had to do it all over again I would absolutely get married at Front Porch Farms. We chose to trust that they knew what they were doing, and it absolutely paid off. -

Working with Front Porch Farms through the entire wedding planning process was a joy. Kathy very clearly loves what she does and cares about her brides, and the setting in the Tennessee countryside is just breathtaking. I believe my wedding was one of the first, if not the first, of the season so sometimes communication was scattered and/or forgotten early on in the planning stages, but Kathy made up for everything as the day drew nearer. I had no questions or confusion on the day of the wedding and even if something went wrong, I still have no idea. I hope to attend a wedding at FPF one day just to relive the day! -

Kathy and her staff did a wonderful job to make our wedding day not stressful and beautiful. She answered my e-mails and my millions of questions within a couple of days and allowed me to come out to the venue a couple of times as the date got closer. She worked with us to give us exactly what we wanted and took care of arranging deliveries with vendors. She was present on the wedding day to help out but did not interfere. All the furniture was set-up when we got there at 10am on the wedding day and she let us set the tables up how we wanted. Her staff was there to help with anything we needed and when a storm came in they moved everything under the pavilion for us and swept the floor to keep it safe for guests. Not a single thing went wrong and it was because Kathy made sure all the details were arranged before hand. -
