What Couples Should Know Before Scheduling a Wedding Venue Tour
Let’s talk about everything you need to know before scheduling your wedding venue tour. From guest capacity to rain plans and transparent pricing, we’re covering it all so keep reading about what you need to know before you schedule your wedding venue tour.
Venue Capacity and Flexibility
Ensure the venue you’ve fallen in love with can accommodate your guest list. Mint Springs Farm is uniquely designed to host up to 250 guests, but its versatile layout also offers an intimate setting for 100 or fewer, allowing you to customize the experience for your wedding size.
Understand What’s Included in Your Venue Package
When choosing an all-inclusive wedding venue, transparency is key. Not all venue packages are the same. Be sure to know exactly what’s included and more importantly what is not. For example, did you know that Mint Springs Farm includes a Sprinter on site to move the wedding party around the property? We are always upfront about what’s added on throughout the planning process (i.e. additional florals, rentals, vendor meals, bartenders, additional lunches for the suites, 9.75% TN Sales Tax, etc). We do not include gratuity and is at the client’s discretion. Keep reading to see what we do and do not include in our all-inclusive pricing.
Rain Plan for Your Ceremony
What is the venue’s rain plan for the Ceremony? Many of our beautiful wedding venues in Middle TN have gorgeous gardens for their ceremonies. But … What happens if the weather has different plans for your garden ceremony on your day? Tenting $$$$$? Reception Flip? Did you know that Mint Springs has a beautiful Ceremony Pavilion that is not only open to the outside views but has clear window inserts if needed for weather? We have you covered from raindrops to downpour!

Clear and Transparent Pricing
Does the venue have clear and transparent pricing? Contracts can be overwhelming but are so important. Make sure you know exactly what you are getting for the package price so you don’t find yourself nickel and dimed on every little thing. For instance, most venues now have wonderful getting ready spaces for the wedding party but not all allow you in early enough for hair and makeup unless you add extra time for a fee. Did you know Mint Springs includes property access starting at 8:00 am on your wedding day! Plenty of time to relax and get ready together in our beautiful Bride and Groom spaces.
