While Legacy Farms isn’t technically a Gallatin wedding venue (we’re about 30 miles away in Lebanon), couples book with us all the time because they’re looking for more than just a barn or chapel—they’re looking for a wedding experience that actually lets them enjoy the day.
Why Couples Book Outside of Gallatin
Don’t get us wrong—Gallatin has some great options for weddings. But if you’re looking for something a little more “let’s make a weekend of it” and a little less “hope we can get ready in the parking lot,” you might want to expand your search.
At Legacy Farms, here’s what you get that’s hard to find elsewhere:
- Built-In Event Management – We’re talking real-deal planning—not just a person who points at the chairs. Our team helps you plan, prepare, and execute your day without stressing over timelines or vendor contracts.
- Multiple Venue Spaces, One Property – Want a barn ceremony but a banquet-style reception? Or an outdoor vow exchange followed by cocktails in the courtyard? Done. No shuffling guests across town.
- All-Inclusive Catering – Our catering team handles your entire meal (and yes, that includes passed apps, plated dinners, or buffet spreads). Plus, you won’t have to stalk Pinterest trying to figure out how to cut your own wedding cake.
- Stay the Night—Or the Weekend – Most Gallatin venues are day rentals, but we host full wedding weekends. That means rehearsal dinners, late-night hangs, and a send-off brunch—all without packing up by 11 PM.

The Barn Factor | What’s Your Wedding Style?
Tennessee couples love a barn wedding—but let’s be real, not every barn is the same.
Some venues are basically empty barns you rent for the day. You bring the chairs, find the bartender, hire a planner, and cross your fingers it doesn’t rain through the “historic” roof.
At Legacy Farms, our event barn is fully set up for wedding weekends. You get tables, chairs, decor, event management, climate control, and a rain plan that doesn’t involve tears. Oh—and real bathrooms, because porta-potties aren’t exactly part of the aesthetic.
What Does a Tennessee Wedding Actually Cost?
Spoiler alert: more than you think (if you’re doing it piece by piece). Here’s a typical breakdown for Middle Tennessee couples planning a wedding:
| Wedding Expense | Average Cost (Tennessee) |
| Venue Rental (Day Only) | $5,000–$7,500 |
| Event Management / Planner | $2,000–$4,500 |
| Catering (Per Person) | $50–$100+ |
| Bar/Beverage Service | $2,000–$5,000+ |
| Decor + Rentals | $3,000–$6,000 |
| Lodging for VIPs | $1,500–$3,000+ |
| Wedding Cake | $400–$1,000 |
| Banquet or Reception Setup | Often extra |
With us? All of the above is bundled. Your barn, banquet, and ceremony spaces? Check. Your planning and event management team? Yep.
Catering, drinks, decor, rentals, lodging, and wedding cake—all wrapped into one transparent package. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about knowing what you’re getting (and not being surprised later).
Things Couples Forget to Budget For
Even the most Type A couple misses a few line items. Here’s what often gets left off the spreadsheet:
- Marriage License: In Tennessee, it’s about $100 (unless you do pre-marital counseling, then it’s reduced).
- Service Fees & Tips: Most vendors expect 15–20% gratuity, especially on catering and bar service.
- Extra Hours: If your venue rental is just 5 or 6 hours, you might end up paying to extend.
- Rain Plan Rentals: Tents, heaters, or fans can add thousands to outdoor barn weddings if you’re not prepared.
- Transportation: Buses, shuttles, or rideshare credits for guests.
- Set-Up & Tear-Down Teams: Who’s moving the tables? Spoiler: It might be you if your venue doesn’t include event management.
At Legacy Farms, you don’t have to worry about any of this—we’ve baked it into the package so you’re not blindsided.
Dress to Impress | Nashville Wedding Weekend Style
We’re not saying you need a different outfit for every wedding event… but we’re also not not saying it.
Nashville-area wedding weekends are the perfect excuse to go all out with your looks:
- Rehearsal Dinner: Think upscale Southern—boots optional, bold accessories encouraged.
- Ceremony & Reception: Personalize it. Want a barn vibe with black-tie flair? Go for it. Prefer something casual-chic? That works too.
- Sunday Brunch Send-Off: Matching sweatsuits? Cowboy hats? A vibe.
We even wrote a whole wedding weekend fashion guide if you’re looking for inspo.

Whether you choose a Gallatin wedding venue or make the short trip to Legacy Farms, make sure you’re getting more than just a building. Look for a team that helps you plan it, manage it, and celebrate it.
