Southern Strings Venue Spotlight Series | Franklin, Tennessee
There's something special about a wedding venue that feels just as beautiful as it is welcoming. Tucked into the rolling countryside of Franklin, Tennessee, Southall Meadows is one of those places that makes you fall in love with the setting before the ceremony even begins.
At Southern Strings, we're fortunate to perform at beautiful wedding venues throughout Middle Tennessee, and we're excited to kick off our new Venue Spotlight Series with a closer look at Southall Meadows!
A Countryside Wedding Venue Just Outside Nashville
Located between historic downtown Franklin and Leiper's Fork, Southall Meadows offers more than 200 acres of picturesque Tennessee countryside. With open fields, rolling hills, and a peaceful atmosphere, it's a wonderful choice for couples dreaming of a wedding surrounded by natural beauty.
One of our favorite features is the outdoor ceremony setting beneath a magnificent tree. Its sprawling branches create a stunning natural backdrop, and the surrounding meadow makes the entire space feel intimate and romantic.
It's easy to imagine guests arriving to the sound of live strings, settling into their seats beneath the trees, and enjoying a beautiful prelude before the wedding ceremony begins.
And for couples who love the charm of a countryside wedding but want the flexibility of indoor spaces, Southall Meadows offers both a historic tobacco barn and a modern event hall.
Beautiful Spaces for Every Part of Your Wedding Day
One of the things we appreciate about Southall Meadows is the variety of spaces available for celebrations.
The property's historic, 100-year-old tobacco barn brings warmth and character, while the modern event hall offers a bright, elegant atmosphere with views of the surrounding countryside.
Whether you're planning an outdoor ceremony, an indoor celebration, or a cocktail hour overlooking the property, there are so many opportunities to make the day feel uniquely yours.
And with the beautiful scenery throughout the property, couples have no shortage of gorgeous backdrops for wedding photos.
Why We Love Live String Music at Southall Meadows
As wedding musicians, we're always thinking about how music complements a venue, and Southall Meadows is a particularly lovely setting for live strings.
There's something timeless about the sound of a violin, viola, and cello floating through an outdoor ceremony space. The natural surroundings provide a beautiful backdrop for everything from classical favorites like Canon in D to contemporary love songs like A Thousand Years and Can't Help Falling in Love.
A wedding string quartet offers a particularly rich, full sound, while a string trio or duo can be a wonderful fit for couples looking for a smaller ensemble.
At Southern Strings, our musicians perform everything from classical wedding music to modern pop, film scores, and personal favorites. With a repertoire of more than 1,200 songs, we love helping couples choose music that feels like them.
For a Southall Meadows wedding, we especially love the idea of live strings welcoming guests during the prelude, accompanying the processional, and celebrating the newlyweds with an upbeat recessional.
And the music doesn't have to stop after the ceremony! Adding a live string ensemble to cocktail hour is a lovely way to keep the atmosphere going while guests mingle and enjoy the property.
A Welcoming Experience From Start to Finish
Of course, a beautiful venue is only part of what makes a wedding memorable. The people behind it matter just as much.
The Southall Meadows team has been incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we always appreciate working with venue professionals who care about creating a wonderful experience for couples and their guests.
It's one of the reasons we're so happy to feature Southall Meadows as the first venue in our series.
