Bell Bottom Ranch has made our wedding dreams come true. Not only are the owners a pleasure to be around, but the venues are beautiful! We chose The Stables venue to have our wedding in and it could not have been more perfect. However, any of the venues are a great choice. All of our guests were blown away by the beauty of the entire ranch and so were we. So glad we decided to have our wedding here.

The property Local Ark stands on is gorgeous. Surrounded by blooming trees, green grass and blue skies, there is a sense of peace, ease and beauty to this venue. It's also very close to the heart of Franklin and Nashville, which is a bonus for me! The owners were so kind and helpful as well. My wedding party is a bit too large to book here, but I would definitely consider hosting my bridal shower, engagement party or photoshoot in the barn!
