Elevating Your Event Easily

Elevating your event doesn’t need to be a headache. We have some simple tricks that will help make the biggest difference in your event and take it to the next level!

Tent sizes

Our patio pavers fit a 40x90 tent and is our most popular size on property for this reason! It covers the entire paved area and provides shade even as the sun goes down over our Tennessee hills. You can adjust your tent size down from a 40x90 and use a 40x40 to cover about half the patio. This is a wonderful option to have dinner service and your bar set up under the tent and have dancing underneath the open air!

Tent styles

While most of our client opt between a classic white tent or a clear top tent, your tent decor doesn’t have to stop there. The classic, white tent is an industry favorite and is ready for any lighting or greenery / floral installments. Consider adding a chandelier to frame your cake table or install some boho wicker baskets to frame the live band playing for your reception. Planning on having a sunset / evening reception? Look at a clear top tent instead of the standard white tent! It is an excellent option if you are planning an evening reception in the early summer, or tie-ing the knot in the fall. You can eat and dance the night away under the stars - what is better than that!

Pole draping

Pole drapery, while necessary, are often overlooked! We spoke with Alexis from EventWorks about easy ways to make those poles more glamorous. “Pole drapes make a HUGE difference and they aren’t a huge cost! They are $40 per leg so on the 40x90 tent, it would be $560.”! Think about swapping out the steel rods in the back of your photos for gauzy draped poles instead to create a stunning visual booth in person and in your photos!

Spotlights + Gobos

Spotlights add so much depth to the event and are an easy way to bring the drama to your event! Adding a couple spotlights such as, a pin spot for your entrance into your reception, a spotlight on your gorgeous dessert table / cake, or providing a highlight to the Photo Booth can go a long way for your guests!

Ready to take on the dance floor? Get everyone on the dance floor with a GOBO (a projected image of your choice, such as your new last name or initials of you and your new spouse). This is a cost effective way to add some personalized touches to your dance floor. There are so many ways to personalize your event to get your guests dancing all night long!

A ROMANTIC FLORAL Wedding at Ravenswood Mansion

Pops of pink and a romantic wedding dress fit to rival Cinderella’s, Madeline and Benton’s midsummer wedding is one we have been dying to share!

Wedding Details

Wedding Date: July 2, 2021

Guest Count: 150

Ceremony Time: 4pm

Ceremony Location: Back Field

Reception Time: 5pm

Getting Ready

Madeline and her eight bridesmaids arrived on 10am and settled into our Bridal Suite to begin hair and makeup. Shortly after the ladies arrived, Benton and his groomsmen arrived at 11:30am to make their way to the Grooms Quarters. Madeline’s dress was hung up on our soft pink floral divider in the second Bridal Suite for safekeeping. Once all the glamour was completed and it was time for the dress reveal!

first looks

Our front porch provided privacy for not one sweet moment, but two! Madeline did a first look with her parents and then after hugging her parents they stepped inside and shared that special moment of a first look with her husband-to-be.

Ceremony

Madeline and Benton opted for a back field ceremony, letting the lush green trees be the backdrop for their vows. Madeline made her grand entrance accompanied by her father from our back porch and walked towards the back field. Framed on either side by their friends and family, it was the perfect way to start their lives together.

golden Hour Photos

While guests began nibbling and enjoying the drinks provided during cocktail hour, the newlyweds made their way around the grounds to soak up the sunset for some truly magical photos.

The Reception

Madeline and Benton’s reception featured peach hues and gold accents to create the perfect mid summer reception among all their sweet friends and family. Each place setting was adorned with a custom dinner menu, raw ribbon, and a dried orange slice to really wow their guests when they sat down. While they chose to tent their main seating space, they chose to do an open air dance floor on our patio.

To conclude the evening, Madeline and Benton thanked their guests for attending and left the venue in a shower of love from their friends and family.
