Top 10 Local Dreamy Venues

the best places to tie the knot

By Andrea Scarlatelli and J.L. Bibb

Like everything else these days, weddings are all about location, location, location.

Where you exchange your vows sets the tone of the entire day. It also gives you a chance to let your personality, both as an individual and as a couple, shine through. Franklin and Williamson County have many unique and diverse places. No matter what you’re looking for in a wedding venue, you’re sure to find it here!

Steeped in history, this area offers something that many other cities can’t. Historic homes, such as the Carnton Plantation and Lillie Belle’s, provide couples the chance to become a part of a larger history. These elegant affairs bring back a taste of the old South, complete with white columns and carriage lanterns.

It was difficult, but we’ve compiled a list of the top 10 local dreamy venues, with the help of several area wedding professionals from TWESA and Weddings the Bridal Show. They are listed below in no certain order. Some of them you’ve heard about before, some of them you haven’t, but be assured – all of them are marriage material!
