My daughter's first grade class recently visited for a field trip. I was impressed by the…read moreorganization and what was covered as part of the field trip. The location was easy to find and a quick drive from Franklin. Plenty of parking was available for our group. The lot was gravel which I usually hate, but I didn't mind their lot. The field trip was well organized and had three parts. It was a great mix of being educational and entertaining. The kids started in the barn area and ate lunch (that they brought) at the tables in there. Bathrooms were available in that building. The guide there (a taller gentleman) taught the kids dances and etiquette. He was great with the kids. Next, we moved to the home tour. The guide there obviously did not like kids and was on the dry side. It was still educational and interesting to see the house. Lastly, the kids made cards using feathers and "ink" for writing. It was a nice variety of activities. Travellers Rest is a good spot to check out for people with an interest in history.

The overall layout and flow of the space was perfect for the various retail vendor booths but could certainly also work for a cocktail party too. Parking is not an issue with the dedicated parking lot and there is also an adjoining parking area that is shared with Harris Teeter. My only resistance is that this location is not very central and can mean a temper tantrum traffic-ridden nightmare down West End for me. Otherwise, this space is quite nice!

Or at least to another time where things were more laid back, fun, carefree. It is also the most pristine farm we have ever seen. From the runs and stables where the animals are, to the common areas where the Farm to Table Dinners are served, everything is super clean and orderly. Even the animals were friendly and took to our elderly Great Dane immediately. As for the lodging, the best word to describe it is charming. We stayed in the one bedroom cottage and it was perfect for the two of us and our Great Dane. Once again, super clean and orderly but with a cozy factor built in that makes you feel like you have stepped into something from a movie set. A King bed is the main visual when you walk in and sits opposite a comfy chair and a pot bellied stove for colder evenings. A medium TV with satellite sits atop the chest of drawers and a little cafe style table and chairs round out the main room. Plenty of windows so lots of natural light. The kitchen 'area' is small but plenty big enough for two. It includes a microwave, sink small counter top, toaster oven and I believe there may be a portable electric stove top underneath that you can use on the counter should you need it. There is also a small but larger than dorm-size fridge freezer combo and is rounded out by a pub height table and chairs for two. The bathroom is fabulous! So much water pressure in the shower, you just don't want to get out. The Gratidude Ranch is well located and makes getting to Franklin, Leiper's Fork and Fairview easy. We went to all three and Nashville during our stay. The Gratidude Ranch is truly a special place with folks that have enormous hearts running it. Sorry this is such a long review but I promise it doesn't even begin to cover all The Gratidude Ranch has to offer. So come on Yelpers, come visit, stay, and Yelp about everything else we missed.

My guess is that Angela Young Proffitt is the next premiere wedding planner in Nashville. There…read moreare a few that you hear about, with fancy dress boutiques, and client lists that could double as the young couples directory for all of Belle Meade. But those ladies better look out because Elegant Weddings by Angela is on the scene! My wedding is in October which is when I firmly believe I'll be able to add a fifth star to my review. Until then, here's why Angela gets 4: One star for her organizational skills. I've got lists and spreadsheets a'plenty to keep me on track and stress free (well, as much as possible). We won't miss a thing with Angela at the helm. A second star for her work ethic. I'm a career woman and I travel lots. It's not uncommon for me to talk with Angela at 9pm on a Tuesday or receive a diluge of email responses from her at 1am. I never worry that she'll get back to me with answers to my questions. And since phone calls are available with unlimited frequency under the package I purchased, she's always accessible and prompt with response. A third star is for her connections. This woman knows loads of really fabulous folks. And she knows them well. When I described my vision for my wedding, I'm pretty sure she already knew which vendors I would pick, even though she gave me several to consider. That's talent! Plus, everyone I've met with speaks so highly of her and says that they enjoy working with her brides since everything always goes so smoothly. That's great reassurance. A fourth star is for her attitude. We've had only one mishap with vendors for our wedding so far, and she was so lovely to manage my disappointment and come up with several other options that made my fiance and I feel really great about the replacement. She's great with family members and fiances and just super fun to be around. Based on all of this, you might surmise that she's already the premiere wedding planner in Nashville. I'd say that assumption is not far from the truth at all. I can only imagine what great things the next few years have in store for Angela.
