Our 2019 Featured Weddings at Saddle Woods Farm
Those who have visited Saddle Woods Farm know what a truly special place it is. Nestled in the heart of Middle Tennessee, just 30 minutes from Nashville our 25 acres are filled with rolling greenery, a lush forest landscape, horses, flowers and a 10,000 sq. ft. majestic cedar wood barn. From the moment a couple steps foot on our property, we begin to see inspiration ignite.
In 2019 we felt very honored to host a few truly special weddings at Saddle Woods Farm. Each with it’s own unique couple, vision, design and style. Below are our featured weddings that we’re are so excited to share with you.
TYLER AND SABINA RICH

When we first met country star Tyler Rich and Actress Sabina Gadecki we didn’t know they would soon grow to become like family to us. So much heart and hard work went into their wedding, and what a truly incredible feeling it was to see it all come to life.
This sweet couple’s festival-themed wedding transformed our venue with pampas grass, neon lights, vintage rugs and teepees. Each detail, from the music to the tables names, was artfully chosen and meant to pay a loving homage to the way they had met at a music festival.
The gorgeous outdoor ceremony was beautiful and tear-filled as Tyler and Sabina expressed their love. Which was soon followed by one of the most fun parties we’ve had all year. An incredible surprise came for the couple during the star-studded reception, when Tyler’s new song “Leave her Wild” hit #1 on the SiriusXM charts. Sabina immediately grabbed the mic and sang his song to the entire wedding party.
Sabina and Tyler’s wedding felt like a dream, with unforgettable moments that we will always cherish and a couple who will remain life-long friends.
ERIN FOSTER AND SIMON TIKHMAN

There’s nothing like a New Year’s Eve wedding to guarantee an incredible party! We closed out 2019 with one of the most uniquely glamorous weddings ever held on our property.
Despite being planned in only four months, celebrity entrepreneur Erin Foster and businessman Simon Tikhman’s celebration was simply spectacular. On New Year’s Eve our ceremony site was completely transformed with a grand floral covered chuppah and Erin walked down the aisle illuminated by candlelight. The couple was married in a round ceremony setting so that no one felt too far away from the couple or as though they had a bad seat.
Our barn, draped with climbing greenery and floating hanging candles set the stage for a magical night. The reception featured two surprise performances and a choreographed flashmob dance that kept the energy alive until midnight. When the clock struck 12, guests donned their party hats and gathered at our barn doors to watch the fireworks show. As we entered 2020, guests continued to dance, party and celebrate the love of this amazing couple.
KATIE STEVENS AND PAUL DIGIOVANNI

There is something so special about a Nashville wedding in the fall. So when actress Katie Stevens and music producer Paul DiGiovanni decided to have a fall wedding at Saddle Woods, we were delighted.
On an idyllic fall day, the couple tied the knot in our outdoor ceremony space. Complete with their pup Winnie as the flower girl!
The gorgeous reception felt modern, yet classic, with wildflowers incorporated throughout the barn. A taco bar featured hot chicken tacos and a traditional carving station filled guests up before they hit the dance floor -- and Paul’s bandmates hit the stage to give a special performance!
High school sweethearts Chase and Alyssa were married at Saddle Woods last fall. Little did they know that their love story would receive national attention, because their wedding vows had been written six years prior.
In 2014, Chase had come up with the idea to go to Build-A-Bear workshop on Valentine’s Day so that he and Alyssa could write wedding vows to one another and tuck them away inside the bears. Six years later their love had blossomed and their vows remained in tact. They broke open the bears on their wedding day and surprised their families and friends.
They were married in a sweet late-summer ceremony. Their reception featured a beautiful rustic-chic aesthetic and they made sure to stop and take a few bridal portraits with our horse, Snowball.
Alyssa and Chase are truly a fairytale couple, showing us that true love does prevail. Click below to see couple’s wedding video and hear the vows they wrote six years ago:
