Meet FrontPorch Farms, a Quintessential Southern Wedding Venue
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
A few weeks ago, I received a call from Kathy of FrontPorch Farms. She told me all about her farm and directed me to their website. That's when I fell in love with the charming, southern wedding venue!
Kathy told me on the phone that not only is the venue available to Nashville brides for their ceremony and reception but because the home can be rented in its entirety, it makes a good option for overnight guests.
There are many perks of this venue so you should check out my interview with Kathy below and give her a call to discuss your wedding or event!
Believe me - this will be a hot spot. It's affordable and has lots to offer if you're looking for true southern charm.

Established in 2009, Front Porch Farms is one of Nashville’s Best new wedding and reception venues built to reflect the era and unforgettable charm of the Old South. As a labor of love between a hopeless romantic from Georgia and one of Nashville’s modern day heroes with old fashioned values, the three story antebellum-style house with multiple covered porches overlooks magnificent views of the countryside. The 32-acres of rolling green pasture also includes a guesthouse, pool, pond, gazebos, rustic barn and rolling green pastures while located only minutes from the city. Overnight accommodations are available so guests can fully experience the romance of the country while enjoying modern day luxuries.
FrontPorch Farms Motto: A healthy marriage takes hard work and dedication but there is one day that shouldn’t be hard and that’s the very first day of your lifetime together. We created FrontPorch Farms as our romantic escape and now we share it with others to find their own magic & memories to last that lifetime.

They also have an on-site event coordinator and four staff members to help with your wedding event needs from the parties and showers to the ceremony and reception.

What else should brides know about your venue?
Brides should feel confident in knowing that they are getting our undivided attention and that we are not going to rush them in and out to make room for the next couple. We enjoy opening our home and property up to couples who are in love and want to share their joy with others. Daisy, my 84 year old grandmother married my grandfather Jimmy when she was 18. For 54 years until he passed away, they were by each other’s side – even if they were mad, sad or off on some crazy adventure. He carried her purse in stores because she always left it and no matter what scheme one of them cooked up, the other would follow along. FrontPorch Farms was the beginning of a love like that between my husband and I. We want to be the beginning of other loves like that. Let’s grow more “Daisies” together!
What makes your venue so unique? What do you pride yourself on?
I have been in the music industry for numerous years and know how events should run smoothly and efficiently and I am experienced in handling just about any crisis thrown at me. My husband is a third generation fire fighter who can do the same. If it’s something we don’t know how to do, you can bet we know someone who does. I applaud originality and creativity and welcome couples who have a vision that isn’t the same ol’ same ol’.
What special packages do you offer?
Our basic package includes a free 40x100 tent, tables, and chairs in our bookings. We can include linens and all other wedding and reception needs if requested.
