I want to share my experience as a Drakewood bride…read more Initial meeting: My introduction to Drakewood Farm was an absolute dream. I was shown around and I instantly connected with my host. Her energy and excitement throughout the entire tour made me excited and I could truly picture myself getting married there. Six months before wedding: The planning meeting. My fiancé and I met with our assigned wedding coordinators. This was a seamless experience. We felt heard and they knew exactly when to jump in and support us with decision making. This two hour meeting felt like five minutes because we were having such an enjoyable time planning the most important day of our lives. We left the meeting feeling extremely excited and ready to go. They also assured us they were able to make changes, talk through any worries or add to our original plan. We could email or call any time! After this meeting I was able to communicate any small changes, detail questions, or concerns via email. They were quick to respond and instantly made changes to our planning sheet as requested. This entire process was seamless and I was never left hanging. Two weeks before the wedding: I sent an email that was left unanswered for several days. I finally received a response from the owners, not the coordinators who I had been communicating with since day one. Then the owners began asking me questions that had been gone over in detail in our planning meeting. Instant red flags started popping up. I sent another email asking why I was no longer communicating with my coordinator. I received the response: "when you sign with Drakewood you sign with our team as a whole." This is completely reasonable, but not a single person introduced themselves or offered any sort of explanation as to why I was all of the sudden moved from one person to the owner. The owner, assured me that I would be working with her most experienced coordinator and that she herself would be supporting us the day of our wedding. Frankly I wish the owner had not been there. Day of: The owner did not once welcome me to the venue or introduce herself. The groomsmen, father of the groom and the groom were unloading cars due to no staff there to help. They stacked bar stock in the venue. They were even asked to move the bigger boxes behind the bar once they were already placed inside, to which my husband responded "you can have your staff move them to the correct location. We are here to celebrate our wedding not work for you." The owner had no clue what was going on and was walking around asking questions that had been gone over when I was working with my original coordinators. This was extremely unprofessional and very upsetting. During the rehearsal, the owner told everyone how they would walk in when we had already explained how we had planned to do it. She said we don't usually do it this way and was met with my mother and sister telling her this is how the bride wants it done. Finally an experienced coordinator showed up who actually had her act together. I am absolutely positive if she had not shown up, our day would have been a disaster and a complete disappointment. This coordinator was professional, dressed appropriately for a wedding (unlike the owner who walked around in a bright pink T-shirt for the entire day) and made sure to check in and keep me in the loop from start to finish. They were completely understaffed and it was evident. I am grateful for my new coordinator and all of her help. She truly pulled the entire day together and turned it around. I would hope that in the future, the owner would make sure to communicate with the bride and the families when big changes happen. The entire staff that I worked with leading up to the day was no longer there and I was left in the dark until I started asking questions. This is not how any bride should feel especially when you are spending a LARGE amount of money. In the end we had a beautiful day surrounded by everyone we love! Shout out to our photographer Alyssa Flake who made sure to keep the energy high and was just an absolute dream to work with! Some key moments that I will give Drakewood major kudos for: -Our new coordinator actually did have her act together and I'm glad she was able to step in and make my day come together -The florals were out of this world beautiful! (Although they forgot to give the men boutonnieres so most of our photos have no florals for the men) -The table settings looked incredible (we picked them out but they were executed properly) -The DJ was great and communicated with us in a very timely manner -Food was great, cake was awesome -The setting is stunning and everyone could not stop talking about how beautiful it was

Rating this one just for the parking, though I've been to conferences and events in the space…read moreitself which is fine. I just appreciate that the city still has at least 1 downtown adjacent lot they haven't sold out to private companies who gouge the citizens of Nashville and hurt local businesses by forcing customers to pay something like $45 for an hour of parking. While an event, like a Preds game, might spike the price to park here at MCC up to $20, it's typically just $15 to park here for an entire evening or day. You can walk pretty much anywhere in downtown from here if you like. So rather than pay the highway robbery of those other PNC and Metropolis lots (companies who regularly face lawsuits for price gouging and unethical business practices, including a recent Nashville settlement by Metropolis) I always opt for a spot here to walk. Just think, in another world/time/era, this would just be the standard with the city owning lots at reasonable rates and using that money for city improvements rather than private companies charging astronomical fees to line their own pockets.

Beautiful venue, effortless day…read more We got married at The Barn at Sycamore Farms with about 100 guests and loved it. The grounds flow beautifully. Guests walk down the outdoor walkway past the welcome table, cross a little bridge to the ceremony island in the lake, come back to the porch, and then head inside the barn. The procession over the bridge felt dramatic in the best way. The built-in rain plan (a ceremony under the barn porch) meant no tent vendor and no extra cost. We didn't need it, but it was a big reason we booked. The barn is large, but with the dance floor under the chandelier it never felt empty. The porch, with soft seating and string lights, became the place for anyone who wanted a break from the loud music. The prop room let us pick centerpieces and decor a month out, which saved money and setup. The bridal suite is roomy. The groom's suite is much smaller, with one bathroom and one closet, so plan accordingly if a crowd is getting ready with you. There's plenty of parking, and guests used rideshares from Franklin and Cool Springs hotels without trouble. The alcohol buyout let us bring our own and keep the leftovers. Just bring your own mixers. Communication was clear and nothing fell through the cracks. If you pay by ACH or Zelle to avoid card fees, expect to split payments around transfer limits. Highly recommend. -- Tyler & Emma

I knew they would have stores, restaurants, shops and local items galore; which is why I planned to visit. When I arrived around 9:30 on Saturday morning, it was raining a little bit, but not too bad. Parking was easy to find as they have a huge lot. My first stop was to see the vendors outside for the market and I spent a little bit of time looking at the booths. They had so many local items for sale including; honey, jam, cookies, flowers, arts/crafts, etc. After browsing the booths, I made a decision to purchase a small bouquet of flowers from one of the vendors. As I was walking around, I had so many people compliment the bouquet so I made sure to tell them where I got it! After the farmer's market visit, I walked around inside and found a spot to grab breakfast. After breakfast, I decided to visit the shops inside the factory and absolutely loved all of the cool items for sale! They had so many great spots for home decor and the clothing boutiques were also a huge hit! There were people everywhere on a Saturday morning and I could tell that this was probably a typical Saturday for everyone. I enjoyed the browsing and even took time to take a photo of myself in the rocking chair! Well, I actually asked for a woman with her young daughter to take the photo and they did without hesitation. I really did have a nice time visiting the factory and already plan to visit again when I return in a few months.

Parking was $10 cash and we were able to snag a spot close to the venue. There were food trucks outside that were much cheaper than the drinks they offered inside. While the grounds are really nice and well maintained, my biggest complaint is the of lack of AC. If you're going to host an expo in August, you NEED to have some sort of air circulation. I was SO uncomfortably hot in there and ended up rushing through the expo just to get out of there. The other issue I had was their traffic control. They charge for parking right at the light so it causes major traffic. The guys controlling parking traffic don't even know where they are. One guy waved us to go through AT THE SAME TIME he waved people to cross the street. Not once, but TWICE. When leaving, another guy waved us to go through but didn't move out of the way completely so I had to dodge driving over his feet. I will be coming back next week for Villain Arts but at least I'm prepared for uncomfortable temperatures inside and their traffic security to be completely clueless as to where they are.
