Barn Weddings Chattanooga TN Offers

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.

All of the decorations used should be welcoming but very rustic. Utilize various old fashion lanterns covered with fresh flowers and delicate ivy for the middle of guest tables. Swag buffet tables, the cake table, beverage station, gift table, and the head table with homey linen or rough burlap with fresh daisies for sunflowers inserted for a true country feel. Use rounds of ten or eight to accommodate your guests.

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.

The menu in such a location tends to be very casual. It can consist of barbecue, chicken, roast beef or an assortment of specialty meats and entrees. A buffet set-up works best in this environment but the meal can also be served at the guest tables. Bring your own food in or hire a local catering company to do the honors. Lemonade, iced tea, keg beer, and a local wine would be perfect served in Mason jars at a beverage table or bar.

You can hire a country and western band or musician that fits this type of environment. Having a guitarist at the ceremony to play background music and then to greet guests as they walk into the reception is always a nice touch. A rousing band will get everyone on the dance floor after the meal is over and the cake is cut. Be sure to double check with the venue that you will have plenty of power and staging and a dance floor are available.

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.
