Why is Bloomsbury Farm a Top Nashville Wedding Venue?
If you’re searching for a farm wedding venue near Nashville, Bloomsbury Farm should be at the top of your list. Just 30 minutes outside the city, it’s a working organic farm that doubles as a wedding venue. Couples love it because it’s:
- Private and scenic: You’re surrounded by Tennessee hills and gardens, not city noise
- Flexible: You can host your ceremony in the fields, the barn, or under a tent
- Grounded in sustainability: The owners have deep roots in farming and eco-conscious living
Where Can You Get Married at Bloomsbury Farm?
One of the biggest questions couples ask is: Where can we actually set up our wedding at Bloomsbury Farm?
Here are the main options:
- Outdoor ceremony sites: Exchange vows in the open fields or under the farm’s tall trees. This couple used the lawn next to the barn
- The barn: While a little more narrow, this is a perfect spot for an intimate ceremony or a good backup rain plan. You could also do long tables here for a rehearsal dinner.
- Tent setup: Many couples add a sailcloth or clear-top tent in the field for dinner and dancing.
Planner tip: Highly recommend always tenting your reception in Tennessee. The weather changes too quickly and it’s not worth the risk.
How Many Guests Can Bloomsbury Farm Hold?
Capacity depends on how you use the space:
- Barn only: Best for under 60 in my opinion and set up as a row of long tables or cocktail-style
- Field or lawn ceremony + tented reception: 200+ depending on the layout.
Planner tip: You’ll need to rent restroom trailers and power is limited out there. Always do a site tour with your planner to flag these things and budget for them.
What’s the Guest Experience Like at Bloomsbury Farm?
If you’re inviting out-of-town guests to Nashville, this venue gives them a taste of Tennessee without being too far from the city. Some highlights we’ve seen:
- Cocktail hour with farm views at sunset
- Family-style dinners with locally inspired menus
- Dancing inside the barn or outside under string lights
- Lounge areas with cigars, lawn games, or late-night snacks
Your guests won’t just attend your wedding, they’ll feel like they’re part of an experience which is exactly what focus on doing when we’re thinking of wedding details.
What Do Couples Need to Know Before Booking Bloomsbury Farm?
Here are some planning details couples often ask about:
- Catering: Outside catering is allowed, so you can choose your dream Nashville caterer. We have a lot of great ones to recommend (and some to steer clear of!)
- Parking: There’s on-site parking, but shuttles are recommended if your guests stay downtown
- Weather backup: A tent is strongly recommended. Tennessee weather can be unpredictable
- Noise ordinance: Like most farm venues, music has to wrap at 10:00 pm, so plan your after-party elsewhere
