Christina truly is the best wedding planner out there. Not only was she able to jump in last…read moreminute, under pressure and make my wedding day a true fairytale, but she also made me feel heard, understood, and was so excited for me. You can tell she truly loves her job and wants to make everyone's wedding day spectacular and perfect. Christina made it possible for my husband and I to have the wedding of our dreams! We're so grateful for her and all of her help. Not only did she go above and beyond in the most important things- like picking out a good florist, giving recommendations on caterers, tents, etc., but she also made sure to send us back to the hotel on our wedding night with extra entrées and cake because she knew we wouldn't have the time to eat while entertaining our guests. She would truly thought of everything, down to the smallest details!

One of the most exciting times of life is having a daughter to celebrate when the man she loves ask…read moreher to marry him. Recently our daughter, Allie, was joyfully engaged and the time had arrived for wedding planning. We agreed that the guidance of a Wedding Planner was definite, yet had no idea where to start. Not having sources that had used an independent wedding planner, we perused internet reviews and one name floated to the top over and over. Her reviews were stellar and her pictures exciting. Together we agreed to reached out the CHRISTINA LOGAN EVENTS and set up a meeting with Christina Logan. Aware that planning a wedding was complex - complicated by Allie's work schedule and with me living out of state - it was critical to find the right person to tackle our lives while pulling together the dream wedding. As Christina introduced herself, it was clear that we were in the presence of someone who was not only skilled at her craft but genuinely passionate about making Allie's special day perfect. Our anxiety slipped away, knowing we met our perfect wedding planner, we joyfully hired Christina Logan Events to plan Allie and Alex's wedding. Christina quickly presented a detail outline of our budget and put together a board of Allie's thoughts - dress ideas, colors and flowers - a highlight of her dream. It was spot on! Allie's text to Christina was "So excited! You're doing amazing pinpointing my vague idea!"  We were realizing the fortune of finding Christina, who was professional, dedicated, giving attention to detail that was beyond our comprehension. Before long, a delightful sense of humor emerged from Christina, making the entire planning process enjoyable and stress-free.   Christina worked effortlessly through every phase, no matter how big or small, ensuring everything was executed flawlessly. She respectfully listened to Allie's ideas, saw her vision, and worked tirelessly to bring it beautifully to life. (And thank God for that sense of humor which was fully appreciated when attention to numbers attending and table assignments were required). With everything perfectly in place prior to the wedding, on ceremony day, Christina was a stealth spirit of perfection. She set finial touches on tables, perfected the bridal cake, straightened the groomsmen, pinned my dress lining, oversaw food service and the entertainment, orchestrated the wedding party, ensured all facilities were well-maintained, and more. The evening flowed flawlessly as she guided Allie and Alex with calming ease and complete support .... Always with her lovely smile. At night's end, not missing a step, she had the getaway car packed and awaiting the new Mr. & Mrs., sparklers passed out, arms open sending Allie and Alex off with hugs. It was beautifully moving for me, Mother of the Bride. Christina was a highly treasured part of Allie's wedding journey. She also became a cherished friend, whom I miss speaking with weekly. We are forever grateful for this Angel - truly a gift from God. We highly recommend to all of you seeking someone to guide you through to your dream wedding - she is here - Christina Logan of Christina Logan Events.

Having Megan as our wedding coordinator was fabulous and I would recommend her and her team at…read moreSweetwater Events a million times over. We hired her as a coordinator which I believe starts about 6-8 weeks prior to the wedding. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process - she was always readily available before the official time started and she attended several meetings and walkthroughs prior to the big weekend. There were some major changes with our venue as a different event coordinator at our venue was hired, and Megan was the steady presence who navigated through these last minute changes which required extra meetings to bridge the gaps for our venue's team. She always demonstrated kindness, professionalism, organization, and had a calm demeanor. She ensured everything was well-prepared for the big day and made sure I felt confident with the plan. On the wedding day, she handled everything beautifully. Megan and her wonderful assistant Jane made the day run smoothly and effortlessly, which allowed us to truly be present and soak in every moment. Everything happened perfectly and as planned - down to the minute. We are endlessly thankful for the love and effort Megan poured into making our wedding so special and the best weekend of our lives! Of note, our wedding was held at the Hermitage Hotel. I especially recommend her for our venue where she did a spectacular job!

Everything that was important to us, she found ways to make happen. She was such a calming presence on the wedding day.

The venue has so many unique places to hold the ceremony and the reception barn was perfect. Colleen was very helpful when my daughter decided to change her mind about having a private ceremony to inviting all the guests. The ceremony was held under an old shade tree in front the historic home. It was amazing. From the bridal suite to the groomsmen's loft, this venue has it all. Colleen and her staff covered all the details from start to sparkler exit. You should see Cedarmont for yourself and you will fall in love with it too!

I am extremely disappointed by my experience with this venue today…read more My daughter and her husband are currently away serving in the military, so she asked me to represent her and tour the venue for their November 2026 autumn-themed vow renewal and reception. Yesterday, I spent approximately an hour on the phone with Alyssa discussing their event. I was told the date we selected was available and would be held for two weeks while we finalized the details and submitted the deposit. I was instructed to come in today to meet with Mike, discuss the event details, and move forward with the arrangements. I arrived today with the deposit in hand, prepared to sign the paperwork and move forward. A friend even left work early to accompany me. Instead, I was told the date was no longer available because a corporate client had paid and signed a contract. I understand that a signed contract takes priority. **That is not the issue. The issue is that I was told yesterday that this date was available to my daughter, and less than 24 hours later, it was taken away without anyone contacting me.** If there was another contract pending or a possibility that the date could be lost, I should have been told. A simple phone call this morning could have saved my time, my friend's time, and prevented this entire situation. What made matters worse was how the situation was handled. Rather than taking accountability for the conflicting information I had been given, I felt dismissed, talked down to, and spoken to in an unnecessarily loud and confrontational manner. I was reminded that because I had not yet signed a contract or paid the deposit, technically the date was not mine. **Ironically, I had the deposit with me and was there specifically to pay and sign.** I was not asking for special treatment because my daughter and her husband serve in the military. But military families have schedules, commitments, and circumstances that do not always allow us to simply rearrange everything at the last minute. **You should not tell a customer that a date is available, have them make plans around that information, and then take that date away less than 24 hours later without even the courtesy of a phone call.** Customers deserve honesty, communication, accountability, and respect--regardless of whether they are a corporate client or an individual family planning an important milestone. The most upsetting part is that my daughter trusted me to handle this for her while she and her husband are away serving. I told her I was going to take care of everything, and instead I had to call her and explain that the date we had been discussing the day before was suddenly gone. **I feel that both my daughter and I were misled, our time was wasted, and we were ultimately left embarrassed and disappointed.** Businesses have every right to prioritize signed contracts. What they do not have to do is treat potential customers as though their time and plans don't matter. Unfortunately, after this experience with Alyssa, Mike, and the owner, I would not recommend this venue to another family planning an important event. **My daughter deserved better. I deserved better. And quite frankly, every customer deserves better.** Event type Wedding, Party, Other Capacity level 20-50 people Venue style Rustic, Elegant, Other

The White Dove Barn is a stunning venue located in Beechgrove, a little over an hour south of…read moreNashville. The venue features two distinct, yet cohesive spaces with an outdoor open-air ceremony space with rows of seating and a backdrop of a small pond and then a large classic white barn featuring a large indoor space, a covered patio and a fire pit area. The barn itself is spacious, bright and warm. The table set up and table settings are gorgeous and perfectly manicured for the event at hand. Bathrooms are easily accessible and there are multiple entry and exit points, making for a nice flow during the event. Staff was friendly and helpful, and always available. They were directing traffic, guiding folks to their seats, pointing folks to the restrooms, cleaning up or just being available when needed. Parking seems to be ample, but does fill up very quickly, so best to be early to whatever event you are attending. Entrance to the venue is easy to miss, so be careful when looking for it, especially if it is at night. The road is windy coming in, and opens up to a beautiful landscape with the outdoor venue straight ahead and the barn up on the hill. The backdrop for the venue is excellent all around. If you have never been to Beechgrove before, be prepared and make all your pitstops before getting off the exit. For a few miles, the only things are this venue and a nearby Shell station. Overall, the venue did a phenomenal job. Happy to have been part of something so special as such a special place!

You are all that. All that to the point that i asked Byron if he would ever pay for an interior designer for our future home and he responded "if Paige does it I will." That's how dope you are. We went through sooo much. They tried to dim our light, but they couldn't. I have nothing but praise for you and if i ever throws another event, no matter where it is, I will use your company and your people. Thank you for being so professional, so honest, and knowing all of your stuff. You knew more than the entire management team combined and there would not have been a wedding if not for you. We owe you more than positive reviews, we owe you our sanity, and the entire wedding. We pray blessings over your business and we are rooting for your growth. Please create a package with Jarquise, ALYX, and dj chubbe. Those management teams would not know what to do! Lord I can't wait until you take over the wedding world in Nashville. Create your own lane because you are that talented. You deserve it all. I'm so glad we got to work together and we will never forget how much you did for us. We bow to a queen because you did that!!
