From our first visit to The Barn At Sycamore Farms, my husband and I knew we had found our dream venue. The 28 acres of gorgeous land gave us endless options for photos, and we took full advantage of every corner of the property. What really impressed us was how attentive and quick the team was to respond to our questions throughout the planning process. Since we were a destination wedding, we were thrilled to use their prop room—it saved us from having to ship decorations across the country and made setup so much easier. The staff went out of their way to make us feel supported every step of the way. We can't recommend The Barn At Sycamore Farms enough for couples looking for a beautiful, accommodating venue.

The studio next door was a great addition for getting ready so definitely book that too!

"I could go on forever about how amazing 14Tenn & 828 planning is!! We did their partial planning package with Sarah as our planner and I cannot say enough good things about her and our entire experience there. From our first inquiry to our actual wedding day they have been incredible. Sarah is SO organized, kept us on track during all of our check in meetings, and perfectly brought my vision to life. I feel like throughout the entire process all we kept saying is “oh my gosh thank god for Sarah” because she’s so great at what she does and we truly felt like she became a friend! The venue itself is gorgeous and spacious and they have an open vendor policy which really allows you to make the space your own. I wish we could get married all over again based on our experience! Thank you 14Tenn, Sarah & the 828 Planning team!!!"

Meredith's place was more than I could've hoped for. She was unbelievably kind and accommodating, both on the day of the event and with rental delivery and pickups. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the space was, and it truly is. Her backyard was the perfect backdrop for our small spring wedding, and the inside is perfectly curated as well. We had plenty of space for setting up and storing things during the event which made everything a breeze. It truly is the perfect place for events and gatherings. I can not say enough kind things about the overall experience - I definitely would recommend this space to anyone looking.
