I absolutely loved everything about my wedding. So did the people who attended! It was absolutely amazing. They made everything stress free and beyond beautiful. If you have an idea, they can make it reality.

If I had to plan my wedding a million times over, I would choose Cedarwood EVERY time. This is the MOST incredible wedding venue you could ever dream up. My new husband and I have been overwhelmed by the response from our friends and family who attended. We have heard "that was the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to" from most of our guests.
As a busy professional, I was worried about having the time to plan an elaborate wedding, but Cedarwood made it seem like a cakewalk. With just TWO planning sessions (about 4 hours total) they streamlined my vendor selections. The flowers, cake, catering, invitations, programs, ceremony musicians were all included and all were TOP NOTCH. They took my inspiration boards...and not only pulled them off....but improved on them in a breath-taking way.
The first hour upon arriving at the site on my wedding day (the grounds and the house are STUNNING!!!!), I kept whispering "oh my goodness! look how beautiful!" It was so gorgeous and surreal, I couldn't help but feel that I was crashing someone else's wedding...thus the need to whisper. :) I was most pleased to see that "personal touches" I wanted to include where done in the most ELEGANT way.
Christa, the wedding director at Cedarwood, is like the jedi master of weddings. They coordinated with our audio guy, videographers, photographers, limo (who we hired independently) and made sure they were on their A-game too.
Everyone's calm disposition helped me enjoy my day and relax. It ran like clockwork and Christa made it seem effortless. We had a *huge* wedding party (22 bridal party members and huge extended families) and she helped us get amazing photos in a "snap." Most people say your wedding day will be a blur, but Cory and I enjoyed every minute because Cedarwood took the reigns and allowed us to soak up our special moments.
Cedarwood is an "Eden" of wedding planning--- if you are looking for perfection---you've found the RIGHT PLACE!!!!!

I could not have dreamed of a more perfect wedding. Linda, Christa, and the entire Cedarwood team did an amazing job from our first meeting all the way through the ceremony. Planning was so easy and they were so great to work with. They took our ideas and brought them to life in the most perfect way. The day of the wedding all we had to do was focus on having a good time, the Cedarwood team took care of EVERYTHING. If you are looking for a wedding venue choose them!!! The details they put into the decorations were unbelievable. I was able to plan my wedding from Afghanistan and it was PERFECT. We are forever grateful to the Cedarood team for making our happily ever after a dream come true.

We couldn't have been more pleased with Cedarwood. Not only did they do a phenomenal job making sure every detail was attended to just like we wanted, but they even thought of things I could've never anticipated! They even made sure we had to-go bags with cake and dinner after we left! In addition they were a great value when you consider all the little extras that add up with other locations because it seemed like so much was included in the price. Plus, the wedding day coordinator made sure everything was taken care of, so we could just relax and enjoy the day, which is priceless. If you like rustic glamour, GO FOR CEDARWOOD! You'll be glad you did.

Cedarwood was the perfect venue for our wedding. They understood the feel that we were looking for and made it come to life. The entire team was amazing and kept us in the loop with everything. I will honestly say that I was the least stress bride and they were a huge part of that. I would whole heartedly recommend Cedarwood to anyone. They really love what they do and make your wedding everything you could ever want.

This venue was incredible. I was on a tight budget, and they worked with me to make it affordable and incredible. When I saw the package details I was a little hesitant, but they let me substitute several of my own vendors and credited the $ back to me. Everyone who came to my wedding said it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to, and it felt like a fairy tale. It was hot outside (July in TN), but no one cared b/c it was stunning and they could go in the house to cool off. The team of people who work with you are incredibly talented & make everything feel stress free. I can honestly say it was worth every penny and more...

Cedarwood is AMAZING! I would recommend any bride to Cedarwood! The site is beautiful and stunning. The ladies at Cedarwood were able to duplicate and even improve the vision I had for our wedding day. They are very responsive, knowledgeable, and made the planning stress-free. When I arrived at Cedarwood on our wedding day it took my breath away. It was even better than I imagined! All of the vendors were amazing as well. The invitations were perfect and the cake was delicious!

To any bride considering Cedarwood for your wedding, I cannot say enough about this venue and these people.
I will never be able to express my gratitude to EVERYBODY at Cedarwood who worked so hard to make our wedding so magical. And that is the word everybody keeps using! Magical. I thought every single detail was amazing and perfect. Honestly, it was if they had spent the last year working on nothing but this wedding, and treated it like it was their own....that is how the exquisite attention to detail made us feel, and we can never thank Cedarwood enough for that. I knew they were good, but I had no idea it would be so perfect.
We will never forget how Cedarwood made us feel, and we think the same holds true for our guests. And that's what it's all about!
They made all our wedding dreams come true, and we are forever grateful. Peter and Edie Pearson

I'm an "easy bride" which means I had no plan probably any weddin planners nightmare, but Cedarwood was AMAZING! They gave me the wedding of my dreams. Linda read mine and John's style perfectly. I wanted my guests to feel like they were in a backyard wedding of a wealthy southern family and they nailed it! The antique china tea cups and Jordan almonds were a throw back to my Italian heritage and they were blended perfectly into our theme. I didn't have any "favorite" flower so I put the arrangements in there hands and I couldn't have been more pleased. They were so beautiful and the whole venue smelled like flowers! Christa made my day so pleasant and fun. She made my family and wedding party so welcome and I really got to enjoy my day. I would recommend Cedarwood to everyone. By far all our guests say it's the best wedding they have been to.

From the onset of our planning up until the actual wedding and reception, everyone at Cedarwood was professional, organized, creative, and receptive to our ideas. My vision for our ceremony and reception literally came to life and was even more beautiful and intimate than I had imagined. There wasn't a single guest who didn't say that our wedding was the most beautiful and the venue the most unique that they had been to.
Also, the fact that the flowers, cake, linens, decorating, etc. are all done right at Cedarwood made this experience very smooth and stress-free.

Cedarwood gave us the wedding of our dreams...everything was absolutely perfect. The really made my vision come alive and there wasn't one tiny detail that they overlooked. They were worth every dollar and then some. Linda and Christa, it was an absolute pleasure to work with you. All of our family and friends thought it was the best wedding they'd ever been to and Cedarwood made it feel very personal to us even though they do weddings all the time....there was absolutely nothing cookie cutter about it. I wish we could do it again every week!

Linda, Karen, and Lori were all amazing! Linda's ability to listen to our vision and turn that into a reality truly blew us away. Karen's flowers and centerpieces were absolutely exquisite and Lori made sure that our whole day ran smoothly! It was all flawless. Thank you, Cedarwood, for such an incredible experience!

This was the most amazing venue I have ever seen! I would recommend Cedarwood to everyone interested in a beautiful and unique setting. Each wedding is personal and different, but all beautiful. They work with you every step of the way to make sure your vision becomes a reality. The flowers, the food, the cake and the staff were all incredible. This all-inclusive venue makes every bride's life easier!! We chose the morning ceremony. It was small and intimate, but they treated us the same way they would have a larger weekend bash! My friends and family can't say enough about it!

I was initially drawn to Cedarwood for their floral decor, the work of artist Karen Wright. Upon meeting Linda and the rest of the Cedarwood team, I knew it was the place for me. Cedarwood took all of my daydreams, thoughts, little hopes and wishes and created wedding day magic. I was able to participate enough to get the full planning experience to the degree I wanted but not to the degree that it ever became overwhelming. I always pictured a beautiful outdoor wedding with an intimate ceremony and fancy, but comfortable reception. I had all that and more thanks to Cedarwood. Any bride to be should go for a visit because words and even the beautiful photos don't do it justice.
