Southall Meadows ruined my wedding, made my bridal party cry right before the ceremony, and caused…read moreme to need therapy to recover from the trauma they caused me. PLEASE view the photos I've shared to see how horrible, penny-pinching this place is. Impressed by all the 5-star reviews? They make you sign a contract saying you'll only give them a 5-star. They claim to be "an open vendor venue." But in multiple areas, they penalize you hundreds for not using their preferred vendors. It was cheaper for me to pay their $800 penalty AND hire my own two bartenders to provide the same service than to use the ones Southall tries to force on you. Their preferred rental company was so expensive that I had to DIY my decor because I couldn't afford another $400 penalty. In the walkthrough, they say chairs are included. But "if you need them for the ceremony too," they charge an extra $350. They gave me a price sheet, then increased the DJ fee by $500 a week later. What could warrant a random 39% increase? If you or guests leave something at the venue by accident, they forbid you from coming back to get it. We left a whole table here and were so anxious they'd keep our $750 security deposit that we didn't even ask for it back. The contract says the Security Deposit will be refunded within 30 days of the event, but we didn't get it back until we emailed them multiple times past the 30 days. They make you pay for meals for THEIR staff. It's standard for other vendors, but I worked in the wedding industry for 3 years and never once saw the VENUE make the bride pay for multiple meals. I didn't rent their $500 optional tables. So they shoved all the furniture I didn't rent beside the barn and tried to hide them with the open barn door. This was so humiliating as ALL my guests walked past and had to see this carnage during my ceremony. Completely unacceptable. You can't arrive until 10 AM. In all the weddings I've worked, the bridal party could arrive at 7-8 AM. The late, strict start time made us so rushed and stressed. If you arrive before 10 AM, they charge you $150 for every 15 minutes you are early. The most catastrophic failure was that their DJ (DJ Pete) played the wrong song THREE times to start our ceremony. He panicked when he realized it was the wrong song and stopped it so my grandma and brother had to walk down in SILENCE, started the wrong song again so the parents had no choice but to walk down, then played the wrong song again for the bridal party. It was so chaotic that my sister was crying, the entire party was upset, and I had to physically get out of my own wedding lineup to show him what to play. I fought not to have a complete meltdown, but the anguish shows on my face in all the photos/videos that I spent $6k on. I blacked out from stress during the ceremony and don't remember the union with my sweet husband, which is by FAR the most hurtful part of all the ways Southall sabotaged my wedding. I can't look at our photos or talk about the wedding without crying, and I am in therapy to cope. I cried on my wedding night and honeymoon the next week. I asked Southall for DJ reimbursement and help with what I lost on photo/video- and they told me the DJ's unpreparedness was all my fault. Imagine hearing a song with your parents while they're in town for your wedding that brings you all to tears- so much that you want it in your wedding. So you send the change to the DJ the night prior & he agrees, but ultimately can't swap out one song. If an 8-year seasoned DJ can't accommodate ONE song change 13 hours before showtime, they have bigger problems. I've seen successful song changes 15 minutes before a ceremony. Yet- the venue used my one change to shift the blame off of them for butchering our wedding. Southall ruined the happiest day of my life and showed no remorse for what they did because brides are business transactions to them. Including an email from them for when they reply to this and try to paint me in a bad light and pin their failures on me instead of owning their mistakes.

We were reassured anytime that we felt like we did not know what we were doing by Bri & Leah in the office as well as the awesome property manager Mike who took great care of everyone on wedding day. The grounds are just beautiful, with so many different options for ceremonies and have the ability to spread out between the land and the buildings. Our DJ experience was fantastic! It was the party we wanted from day one. Our signature drinks were amazing and their BYOB service is top notch. We even got a refunded for left over alcohol. Such a win. Southall Meadows really cared about our experience from the very beginning by pointing us in the direction of really good vendors that took care of everything to making sure we did not lift a finger on wedding day. It really is awesome to see a small business put on such a beautiful production and we could not be more excited to tell everyone about it! If I didn't know where to start with wedding this is exactly where I would go.

We also hosted the rehearsal dinner Friday night for 53 people. The space was incredible. The bar area is wonderful and people even started dancing. It has a great sound system. We did the barbecue menu and the food and service was wonderful. We did chicken and ribs and they were delicious.

Our friends and family really enjoyed it. They have tables and chairs included with the rental. No crazy rules - just the usual (licensed bartender, watch the walls, etc.) We were fortunate to have a very lovely September day. The place was particularly pretty at sunset. We did almost everything ourselves. Set up, had catering brought in, cakes, bar; which was important. We wanted to have vendor options and this allowed us to do that. There is also plenty of parking. They let people park on the front lawn, as needed. Somehow, it went pretty flawlessly. At the time, the rental ran us just $800 for the day. Not bad for a wedding venue. I strongly suggest contacting them for an event. The space is really unique and easy to get to. We would definitely rent for another event in the future.

We bundled up in coats and scarves, and walked around the empty construction site at night with our iPhone flashlights 14TENN only consisted of some raw wood, a few original beams and a wonderful owner named Sean, who had no staff hired in Nashville yet. But we knew we HAD to get married there. We could see their vision and it matched ours. BEST DECISION EVER. I mean look at this place. And their customer service.. Over the top!! I could go on for days. Just know, the insanely beautiful space is just the icing on the cake. It's the people there that make this place what it is. Which leads me to our wedding coordinator Kaitlynn Montgomery. An angel in human form. This girl, y'all. I messaged her at least once a week with another ridiculous idea. And she encouraged me on every single one of them. Anyone who knows me knows how annoyingly Type A I am and how I prefer to do things myself and plan every detail to nauseam. Kaitlynn took SO much off my plate. If I asked her about something or suggested something, she had already taken care of it 3 days prior. She was always 5 steps ahead of me at all times. She single handily took my stress level down 1,000 notches on a daily basis. Every single last detail or idea that we came up with for this wedding would absolutely have never been possible without Kaitlynn. She brought it all to life. And Ellyse.. Her and Kaitlynn worked their butts off together on our wedding day and it was perfect. Every time I saw Ellyse that day, she was smiling ear to ear and it immediately put my nerves at ease. These two girls are just the absolute sweetest and SO freaking good at their jobs. Now, one of the most important guy of the night... Our alcohol and bar concierge, Hunter!! I remember calling him one day thinking, he is going to kill me and I'm about to make him hate his job I was like, So I was thinking about cocktail hour and how it would be cool to serve hand-crafted blueberry mojitos named after our dog in 150 coconut cups with stir sticks that have our dog's face on them. Oh and I want them all displayed on shelves with signs and the whole works. He was like, hell yeah, you got it. Not only that, he insisted on pulling out all the tricks. Infusing his own simple syrup with mint and having us over TWICE to taste the recipe and make sure it was perfect. He loves his job and it shows. He took full ownership of the bar and making sure we didn't even have to think about it. THANK YOU HUNTER!!! In summary,14TENN was an absolute dream come true and we cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for EVERYTHING. We love y'all!

The hotel, itself, I would describe as hipster-ish. The moment you walk in, you walk straight into the bar, which doubles as the hotel check-in. Cool idea, but for someone who usually looks for a hotel desk, this threw me off. Once checked in, you get a token for a free drink, which was really nice. Atmosphere is a nice hangout spot. The hotel room was okay. Super bare essentials. If you need an iron and ironboard, you use the shared one in the hallway. The hotel was dripping water from the AC unit the entire stay, which seems to be the norm. This hotel was paid by my hotel, and when I used my credit card for incidentals, they charged my credit card instead. Had to get several people on the phone from work to deal with this mistake. Overall, okay spot if you need a quick stay by Vanderbilt.
