Barn Weddings Chattanooga TN Features

By Lelia Hall


You are planning a very special party and are in need of a truly unique and spectacular location to hold it at. Barn weddings Chattanooga TN has available within its boundaries will provide you with the perfect venue for a ceremony and reception. Planning and arranging such a affair will be very exciting and different from a normal occasion.

The set-up for such an event can be truly original. Weather-permitting, the ceremony can be held outside with white or gold Chivari chairs for all of the guests. Flower girls can scatter rose petals over the grass as the bride makes her way down the grassy aisle. Sunflowers can decorate the outside row chairs and the bride can carry a bouquet of fresh daisies or old fashioned roses. An old fashion arch can await her at the end of the aisle where her betrothed stand in expectation.

The decorations should be rustic and welcoming. Wildflowers entwined through the arch will look very colorful during the ceremony. Old fashion lanterns covered with flowers and ivy make great centerpieces for the guest tables at the reception. The head table, food table, and cake table can be swagged with burlap or linen and even more daisies or roses. Larger centerpieces of wildflowers and ivy can be set on all the buffet tables. Rounds of eight or ten will make perfect seating arrangements. Some couples prefer a head table while others love to just be part of the crowd at a round table reserved for them and a their bridal party.

Use props everywhere in your decor. Some examples would include old wagons, leather saddles, horse blankets, fence rail, and more. The more rustic or vintage they appear, the better they will work in the different areas of ceremony or reception spaces.

This type of location requires a very casual menu. Think of barbecue, roast chicken, prime rib, roast beef, pulled pork, or a varied assortment of tender meats. Usually a buffet works best with these type of meals but they can also be plated and served at the individual tables. You can bring your own food in or hire a quality catering outfit to feed your guests. Add a beverage station consisting of lemonade, iced tea, a local wine, and keg beer for refreshments for all.

Hire a band or a musician that fits the surroundings. A guitarist could play during the ceremony and then continue playing soft music to greet the guests as they enter the reception area. A rousing band could play after the meal is served and the formalities are over. Check with the venue to inquire about power, the dance floor, and staging.

Hire an excellent photographer as the backdrops will be very beautiful. The mood of the day will be easily and artistically captured during both the ceremony and the reception.

A reception after a ceremony in a venue such as this will be dramatic and unique. You can do so many intriguing things and turn it into an event that will be remembered for many years to come. Remember this distinct location when their anniversary looms on the horizon.
