Dedicated to realizing your marital vision, owners Max and Haley Gerber invite you to say “I do” at this adorable country gem.
Though nestled in a bucolic and peaceful location, Hickory Meadow is within driving distance of Nashville International Airport and Downtown Nashville. The Gerbers established this wedding venue to pay tribute to Max’s grandfather, a World War II veteran who bought the land during the conflict. They set out to make the barn as distinctive as possible, lending modern touches to its vintage aesthetic. Featuring 6,160 square feet of available space, this barn can provide the perfect backdrop for wining and dining with your guests. Max and Haley encourage their clients to get creative by adorning the interior with their choice of decorations. In addition to weddings, the duo welcomes engagement parties, bridal showers, and rehearsal dinners.
Hickory Meadow offers several packages, all of which include access to private suites, furniture, and complimentary parking. The Two Day bundle is their most comprehensive package, boasting 14-hour use of the property, rehearsal time, and access to the venue for engagement photos. The private suites feature a range of eye-catching amenities, such as a bar, a TV, full-length mirrors, and a get-ready counter. As an added touch, your caterer is free to use the prep kitchen, a state-of-the-art facility that has an ice maker, an industrial fridge, and a large counter.

Owner
The dream to open a venue began with the desire to honor Max's grandfather, Cleborne Worke. Cleborne bought this land piece-by-piece during World War II. Every time he would receive his wages while overseas, he would send the money home to his wife, Sue, so she could purchase the land.

Title: A Slice of Heaven at Hickory Meadow: A Dream Wedding Come True!
From the moment we discovered Hickory Meadow, we knew we had stumbled upon something truly special. Nestled in the serene beauty of Tennessee, this hidden gem became the backdrop for our most cherished memories—a place that transformed our wedding day into an enchanting fairytale.
Max and his family are the heart and soul of Hickory Meadow. Their warmth and hospitality radiate throughout the venue, making you feel like part of their family from the very first moment. Max took the time to understand our vision, guiding us with his expertise while allowing us to personalize every detail. His genuine passion for creating unforgettable experiences shines through in everything he does.
Hickory Meadow itself is a breathtaking canvas of natural beauty. Lush greenery, vibrant wildflowers, and the soft murmur of nearby streams create an idyllic setting that feels like stepping into a storybook. The outdoor ceremony space, adorned with rustic charm, provided a picture-perfect backdrop as we exchanged vows surrounded by our closest friends and family. The reception area was equally stunning, blending elegance with the enchanting ambiance of nature.
Every aspect of our experience was meticulously curated. From the stunning floral arrangements to the cozy fire pit where we gathered with loved ones, every moment felt thoughtfully crafted. Max's family went above and beyond to ensure our day was seamless, attending to our needs and the needs of our guests with genuine care and attention.
As we danced the night away under the stars, we couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Hickory Meadow isn’t just a venue; it’s a magical place where dreams come to life, and memories are etched in time. We never imagined that a hidden treasure in Tennessee would leave such a profound mark on our hearts.
To Max and his family, thank you for sharing your beautiful haven with us. Your kindness, dedication, and passion made our wedding day an extraordinary celebration of love that we will cherish forever. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue, and we are eternally grateful for the magic of Hickory Meadow. If you’re searching for a place that captures the essence of romance and warmth, look no further—Hickory Meadow is the answer.

Beautiful venue, staff were very friendly and accommodating. Lots of parking and really gives you that rural/private feel. No complaints from outside vendors and they provided us a lot of free items to use.
A bit secluded with really only one way to get there, so if traffic gets backed up you will be late. However, that’s not something they have any control over just keep it in mind.

Absolutely beautiful venue!! The owners are SO incredibly helpful throughout the whole process! Any question I had they always answered and gave advice. I did not have a planner for my wedding, so Max brought some of his staff to help me, which is absolutely incredible. His staff was amazing, and Cassandra was so sweet and helpful! Everyone made my wedding day so easy for me, and the venue is so very beautiful. I had an amazing day. Thank you all so much!!! :)

The venue is gorgeous and the owners literally make sure you have the best day ever! They are so kind and I don’t think I would’ve made it through the process without them. They have an awesome decor closet you can use stuff from and also furniture. They also have rentals if you’re looking for something different than what comes for free. If you sign with them, they include you in a Facebook group where people make recommendations on all of the different vendors that people have worked with. That’s how I found everyone I used !
