Cedarmont Farm is a hidden gem in Franklin. The moment my daughter, her fiancé and I saw the…read moreproperty and met Colleen, we knew this was the very special place for their wedding. 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!

When I entered my room, I was greeted by the smell, the pleasant smell of old wood. The location was very convenient, being close both MTSU and downtown. The snacks were convenient when my son got hungry. One night, I ordered delivery to avoid going out in a threatened thunderstorm. The kitchen and dining room were very useful. Overall, there was lots of character. I suppose you could consider the broken, very out of tune piano to be a part. (The middle F key is impeded from striking strings. When you and your son are big music fans, you notice such things.)

Also had a beautiful carriage in the front that we were able to use to take pictures in!! The decor/day of coordinator: Molly (the day of coordinator) made our wedding reception seamless. She was communicative at all the right times to smooth out the details ahead of time to make sure our wedding was perfect and everything we wanted was taken care of. She did a great job on the decor and at a great price! The food was amazing! Afterwards, the guests kept talking about the food not being "gross wedding food" it was amazing food! I couldn't recommend them more for a wedding or reception venue!

I am going to tell you a little story…read more Once upon a time, there was a boy and a girl who fell in love, got engaged, and were in dire need of a wedding planner. Enter Hugh Howser of H Three Events, friend of the bride, confidant, and the best version of "Franc" a la Father of the Bride (minus the swans and the indecipherable faux french accent). Hugh meets with Bride. Bride describes her dream wedding, shows a few photos from bridal magazines. Miraculously, Hugh has the entire wedding decor and accoutrements envisioned in his head after a 30 minute meeting and knows exactly who to talk to to complete the vision. Bride, high on engagement and a new sparkly diamond ring, loves/wants casablanca lilies and lisianthuses and ruffles and antiques and chivari chairs and dom perignon and chateauneuf du pape wines from 2003 and filet and a 20 piece band. A girl can only dream right?! Enter Anita Hogin, Hugh's business partner - the very budget-centered, level-headed half of the duo. Very carefully, Anita helps Bride (and Hugh) come down from her wedding high and shows her the reality of her budget. Together, they make a few compromises (or sometimes quite a few compromises) and make this perfect wedding come together. The day of the wedding, Bride is relaxing. Bride is also sipping mimosas, having her make up and hair done, spending time with family and friends. The key here is the bride is relaxing on the day of her wedding. Hugh and Anita are waving their magic wands and pulling rabbits out of their hats and doing who knows what else. To this day, the bride had no idea how much work went into making her wedding day so fabulous, but it was effortlessly handled by H Three Events! And they all lived happily ever after! Seriously, Hugh and Anita are incredibly easy to work with. They know how to achieve exactly what you desire and will make it all happen effortlessly. They are not overbearing event planners that continue calling you with questions. They get it right the first time so they don't have to ask about the little details over and over again. Above all, they are FUN FUN FUN!!! Planning a wedding is very stressful, but these two succeed in making the whole process a total delight.

We went to a fundraising event here recently…read more The event itself was wonderful. Unfortunately, the evening was ruined by the clueless staff of this facility. It was a December evening, that started out fine. The food was OK and about halfway through the evening as the staff begin clearing the tables they opened all the back doors to the venue And left them open for the rest of the evening. The evening was 32°. Needless to say the draft from the open doors quickly filled the room and nobody picked up on the fact that everybody was running for their coats and sat there huddled freezing, trying to enjoy the evening while the event/facility staff walked about with the doors wide open. this is not the first time we've been to an event here, but will always think twice before attending another one.

Cement floor, fold out chairs and absolutely freezing. Not only was it cold, but for some reason the vinyl sides were up about 18" and the back doors were wide open. The evening temp was 34 degrees and everyone at our table eventually got their coats. This was a nice event and everyone was dressed to the nines for it. Hate to say it but if this event is there again, we will probably just mail in a donation and pass on the event.

There are many good things to say about Naomi and At First Blush. Prior to the wedding she was very…read moreavailable and easily assessable. We had a very challenging venue (our back yard) and our house wasn't finished yet. But Naomi took it in stride and assured me everything would work out. She always answered my texts and emails promptly. She also worked very well with my caterer. She also introduced me to two vendors who were the top in their field - Emily Holmes for the invitations and Vintage Florals for the flowers. I cannot say enough good things about these two vendors. There were things the day of the wedding that did get missed. The usher boutonnieres were forgotten, the refreshment stand did not get put up, and the planner was not present for 2 hours of set up the morning of the wedding (my husband and I did it). Many family members commented to me that the rehearsal seemed very unorganized. However, these are just small details that no one really cares about. Overall, the wedding turned out great.

From Costco runs to getting floral arrangements together and beyond. They put together a flawless, beautiful, dream wedding for me and my husband.

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'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!
