They also offer planning services for a fee. I've only been once to check out the vendor portfolios and once for a bride mixer party. The vendor lists are short, only a few for each category so you don't get confused, but you also may not find the right one that fit your needs, so don't expect to get everything done here. The bride mixer i went to was awesome, we got to meet some great vendors. It's also a free event. I had a great time, and meet some vendors that I didn't even think of looking for. This place is great if you are just starting out your planning process. Plus the space is so cute!

From Costco runs to getting floral arrangements together and beyond. They put together a flawless, beautiful, dream wedding for me and my husband. I didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew that the entire wedding was in good hands with these two. Not only will these girls work so very hard for you, they will also give great advise, come up with awesome ideas, problem solve, and use their many creative talents to pull off the ideal look and feel of your wedding. I know weddings can be stressful and can put the bride in a panic but if you'd rather sit back with a glass of champagne and enjoy the day then Ryder and Rhoades is the way to go.

I gave them my vision for the ceremony space and reception area and they made it jump off a Pinterest page and come to life. They were cool, calm and collected-- solving problems that arose and taking care of all the behind the scenes chaos that happens getting weddings set up. They're professional, personable, and punctual-- hardworking and creative-- I mean it truly doesn't get any better than these two. There's no question in my mind that I wouldn't have been able to pull off the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to (I realize I'm slightly biased) without the help of Ryder + Rhoades. Whether you want the full experience of wedding planning collaboration or just want someone to make sure things run smoothly day of (BELIEVE ME, YOU DO), choose Courtney and Anna to make those perfect wedding visions come true! They'll be my recommendation to my nearest and dearest friends, and strangers too! :)

I feel so grateful for the hard work that Damon Goude, co-owner of Regalo Design, put in to make my wedding the most beautiful and memorable day of my life. Damon is super friendly and easy to talk to, but he was simultaneously able to manage our huge families in the rehearsal and day of so that things could proceed according to plan. We actually stayed on schedule! Unheard of. He got us through the rehearsal quickly, efficiently, but without missing any details so that everyone knew where they were supposed to be, when, and what to do. It took all of the pressure off of us to get everyone in line, which if you have ever had a wedding, you know is a giant relief. Damon met with me a couple weeks before the wedding, went through my two huge totes of items I wanted displayed at the wedding, verified that the decorations they were providing were what I wanted, finalized the flowers (which were the most beautiful flower arrangements/bouquets/etc. that I have ever seen at a wedding), and generally made me feel calm that everything would be taken care of. He came early the day of the wedding to decorate. I can't explain how beautiful everything was! Once I get the photos back from our photographer, I will upload some highlights, because it was magical what he did. He decorated the arch under which we were married, it looked straight out of a fancy magazine cover. Damon moved everything along according to plan for the ceremony and reception, and stayed to make sure that everything was cleaned up and our gifts and other belongings were securely stored. I felt so calm due to his hard work, he really took care of everything so that we could relax and enjoy our special day. Regalo Design is perfect for couples like us who have a budget that needs to be followed, their prices are extremely reasonable (the best I found in Nashville, and I did my research). I give them my highest recommendation, I can't believe how lucky we got that we found them. I'll forever be grateful for all that they did!

Colleen made every step of the process of planning a wedding stress-free. She helped us plan a 125 person wedding during 2020 so that it could happen in June 2021. 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!
