I would absolutely recommend Front Porch Farms as a wedding venue! I can't even tell you how many people came up to us throughout our wedding asking "How did you find this venue!?" It is absolutely stunning! I also cannot stress enough how appreciative I am of the owner, Kathy! My parents live out of state, so the whole planning process was very difficult without my mom here. Kathy is so unbelievably organized and helped me stay on top of everything as well as give any advice or recommendations. She is so thorough and attentive, all of my other vendors told me how amazing it was to work with her as well! Thank you FPF for making our day INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!

We recently had our daughter’s wedding at Front Porch Farms. The venue is absolutely breathtaking. Almost all of our guests were from out of town and all commented on the beauty of the venue and grounds.Kathy was the consummate professional from the planning stages through the day of the wedding. She was on top of everything on the day of the wedding and made it come off flawlessly.Highly recommend Front Porch Farms for your special day!

This venue is beyond perfect! Kathy is great to work with. Extremely helpful with all details. All of our guests were in awe of the property. The Hampton Inn is within 20 minutes and it’s brand new, very nice! We highly recommend front part porch farms for any event.

Front Porch Farms is an absolutely amazing venue. The views as well as the ceremony/reception area are breathtaking. I had my wedding here in October and it was everything I dreamed of and more. My husband actually saw this venue years ago before we even met and knew it would be the perfect place to get married. Kathy and her staff did a fabulous job on our wedding day down to the last detail. Not only was it gorgeous it didn’t break the bank. I would highly, highly recommend this venue to anyone!

When we looked at this venue I knew it was the perfect place for me and my husband. We just had our wedding this November and everything was perfect. Kathy and her team made sure everything was in place and just how I wanted it. Kathy even went above and beyond and made a lot of my floral pieces by hand just so everything could match. The views from the hilltop of their property are breathtaking. It was a bit too cold to have our cocktail hour outside by the pool but that space is to die for! Anyone would be lucky to be married here and have Kathy and her team help keep things to the plan and well executed.-The Riddles

Front Porch Farms hosted our DREAM WEDDING in September, 2021. I cannot say enough about the incredible location and beauty of this venue! Set on a hilltop in the Tennessee countryside, the venue offers idyllic views of the countryside, a charming farmhouse, reception barn, and poolside bar! There is even an Airbnb if you or some of your party would like to stay the night. For us, this was the most special wedding spot because we loved the intimate and romantic feel, as well as the beauty of nature surrounding us. The staff was very excellent and experienced, especially our wedding coordinator and host, Kathy. She was wonderful to work with and so helpful throughout the entire process! We felt taken care of and our desires for our wedding day were accommodated very well. I cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you Kathy and Front Porch Farms!

Front Porch Farms offered us the perfect wedding day! While simply getting married was the highlight of our day, Front Porch Farms gave us everything we could have dreamed of for our wedding. From the landscape to the interior of the reception area it was absolutely perfect. Working with Kathy was easy and so enjoyable. She is sure to make your day exactly what you envision. I would highly recommend booking Front Porch Farms as the location for your special day!

My husband and I got married at Front Porch Farms this year and it was a dream come true thanks to Kathy Best! Not only is the venue gorgeous, but Kathy and her team went above and beyond to help create the most perfect day. Everything is tailored to you, and Kathy creates your wedding package based on your wants and budget. Kathy is extremely professional, knows the wedding industry inside and out, and was so kind and accommodating with any questions or requests that we had throughout the planning process. The wedding day was seamless and so smooth, it would not have been possible without FPF's team. It's my greatest joy to tell people that I had a completely stress free wedding day and one of the best days of my life! Thank you, Kathy!!

What an amazing venue and an amazing staff they have right here in TN. Stop by, give them a call. Get a walk through and have your wedding and/event here at FPF. It’s a hidden gem. Did I mention they have a pool right outside the barn?

We fell in love with the property upon our first arrival, and didn't even feel the need to look any further for our perfect place to get married. The views from the front yard, where we held our ceremony, are breathtaking no matter which way you look. Kathy Best's (owner, wedding planner extraordinaire) home is out of a story book, and the backyard pavilion, pool, cocktail bar, etc had everything we wanted and more for our reception.We were sold on location and setting alone - but Kathy made the entire wedding planning process a breeze, which kept it enjoyable all the way. She had a bride, a mother of the bride, AND a mother of the groom to deal with and did it all with a smile on her face! Ha. Day of, her entire team made everything seamless. The decor was absolutely stunning - no detail was missed. Don't even get me started on my flowers, y'all! Nobody could believe how unbelievable the bouquets were. My husband and I worried about NOTHING, enjoyed our special day to the FULLEST, and we now get to look back on the most beautiful pictures of the most beautiful wedding in the most beautiful place. 12/10 would recommend Kathy and Front Porch Farms to anyone!

My husband and I got married at FPF October 2021 and we could not have been happier with how the day went! The venue is absolutely STUNNING. If you are looking for an outdoor/rustic ambiance, this is it! Views for days, epic sunsets, tons of outdoor spaces, flexible indoor accommodations (should it rain), endless decor options, etc. I could go on however, I feel that a visit to the property speaks for itself. You owe it to yourself to check it out.Now buckle up, from here on out my review will be long and as thorough as I can be because as a Bride, I appreciated these reviews the most when I was venue hunting. Also, I want to add that I worked in the hotel industry for 12 years selling high end hotel weddings and events. Weddings, ya'll, are NO EASY FEAT. Emotions run high, there's lots of money involved, sometimes lots of opinions involved (if you're letting your family members call any shots), and everyone has their own expectations of how the day should go. It makes it extremely challenging for the person you hire. Yes, planners sign on for this and typically understand what they're getting into and yes, the customer is always right in customer service BUT there's also a reason why you hire and trust a professional and below are my reasons why I'm glad I hired Kathy Best:Customization: I knew from the start I wanted an inclusive venue because the thought of sourcing all vendors on my own (from furniture to floral to decor, etc) was overwhelming. I am not a DIY bride. That said, most of the inclusive venues I reached out to had a "Package A" or a "Package B" and it was intensely frustrating when I didn't need all the things in A but wanted to add a few things to B and was told "no, we can't do that". Then I call Kathy who offers to customize a package for me starting with the VERY basics of what I described wanting my day to look like. Explicitly explaining that anything not outlined in the contract would be an additional cost-TOTALLY acceptable IMO. I rather start low and have control of what I'm adding on or changing vs. be locked into a package that has things I don't want/need/or puts emphasis on items I don't care as much about.Organization: Kathy is extremely detail oriented. She had every detail outlined in a shared google document that we could both edit and work with to ensure we were on the same page. Kathy has a process she follows and is methodical about it. Everything goes on the google doc, keeping emails and phone calls to a minimum or on an as needed basis. I personally liked this. It was efficient, effective, and made each interaction productive.Vendor Partnerships: Kathy's tenure in the industry has afforded her some great partnerships. She has lengthy recommendations for photographers/videographers/photo booth options/etc, to help you book some of the elements she doesn't cover in her package. The vendors she does cover (catering, floral, DJ, linens/place settings, bartender, transportation, etc) are phenomenal. She owns the communication with them, for the most part, which makes things less confusing for everyone (you know what it's like to have too many cooks in the kitchen, it just doesn't work). Don't worry though, your voice is still heard as she shares that detailed google doc with them with your vision for your day!Communication: Kathy is honest and to the point. She's been doing this a long time and knows what works and what doesn't; especially because the venue is also her home. I read some of the bad reviews and I can see how others feel that she is "rude" but I saw it more as being methodical and focused and knowing her business. I trusted her opinion and if ever I felt particular about something, she worked with me on it. There were a few miscommunications but she worked through it. Nothing is going to be 100% perfect, no matter where you host your wedding or who you work with but what matters, IMO, is a professional who can think on their
