Yardish's reviews

We really loved having our rehearsal dinner here. I would recommend booking with them as early as you can, because when we contacted them to book their private room it was already booked for the night we needed it. We ended up having our rehearsal dinner in a side dining room that was out of the main area of the restaurant. We weren't private there, so the noise level was still pretty typical of the Old Spaghetti Factory. We just love the ambiance of the place and the antique decor, and they had very helpful wait staff. We picked this place because we were able to feed our rehearsal dinner group for a very reasonable price. They worked with us to set up a menu for our guests.

We stayed here in town on our first night before our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect. They left fresh flowers and a bottle of champagne (or wine if you prefer) in the room for us. The rooms are so gorgeous and comfortable, and the whole hotel is so gorgeous and historic. Our room overlooked the gorgeous lobby and had 18-foot ceilings. They gave us coupons to use in the morning at their dining room for breakfast, and the entire wait staff was very welcoming and made our stay wonderful.

I loved working with Deborah on my cake. She was so helpful and sweet, and had such a cheap price for her cakes to be so good. We brought her a picture of what we wanted and she was able to recreate it beautifully. She is based in Columbia but will travel with the cake to almost anywhere. We gave her a challenge with our groom's cake, a castle, and she was so creative with it and made it look amazing. The bride's cake was gorgeous! All of it was so delicious and had all the perfect textures and flavors and moistness.

These are friends of ours from our church who also run their own catering business. Their food was exquisite and gourmet. They are extremely flexible and willing to try anything you want for your wedding. We had just heavy hors 'douvres, but they will do a full meal, finger sandwiches, anything. They provided a beautiful display of delicious food, and even sent us away to our honeymoon with a basket of food to enjoy at the hotel since we didn't have time to eat much at the reception. 


We LOVED this place. The owner, Barry Walker, is a phenomenal man. Marathon Village is an old car factory for the Marathon car. Mr. Walker has owned the buildings since the 80s and has been renovating them, including this event space. It is on the top floor of the building, so it has a beautiful view of Nashville. It has rustic exposed brick walls and dark wood beam ceilings. It is incredibly vintage. They don't offer any kind of tables or supplies, or services, just a kitchen facility, so you have to bring in everything yourself (which is what we wanted). They are very flexible on when you come in to set up, also. Very reasonable rental price.

We had our linens and tables provided, but needed chairs. We found this place and they had a very cheap rental rate for their wooden folding chairs. It was convenient, also, because they were right around the corner from our reception location. The one thing we found out was they are not in the best condition - i.e., finish wearing off, etc. More or less they were fairly rustic in appearance, which happened to work just fine with our reception location and theme. Some of the ones they gave to us were a little rickety, but they were still OK.

Overall we had a great experience with them. Bianca sat and worked with us to find exactly the flowers we were looking for and was reasonable on price. She was great about offering lots of options and suggestions. Our bouquets and other flowers were wonderful and were delivered promptly the day of the wedding. We really had no complaints about them and had lots of compliments on our flowers. They can accommodate pretty much any kind of flower request you may have. They had us bring in our vases that we wanted to place on the reception tables, and they cleaned them and brought them already arranged the day of the wedding. 


We LOVED this church. It was the perfect place for us to be married because of its history and its character. It is in Egyptian Revival and was built in the 1800s. It certainly leaves an impression. Everyone at this church made the process of planning the wedding enjoyable. There are facilities to hold the reception in their pretty fellowship hall, should you choose. The sanctuary has an organ, and their church organ is available for the ceremony, should you choose. Something else wonderful is they will allow another minister to come into the church to officiate the wedding. The actual pastor of the church, though, is great and we would not have minded him being our officiant. Their coordinator is nice and helpful for the most part, though she had trouble at times keeping details organized.

Using Tux is was convenient because they offer many selections for styles, tuxedo colors, and vest colors that will coordinate with practically any color. Our groomsmen all had their own tuxes, so we used them just to rent the vests and ties to coordinate with the colors of our wedding. That made it very cheap for their rental. Our groomsmen were able to be sized at any Tux store, have it arrive to pick up at any Tux store, then they could drop them off at whatever Tux store they wanted on the day after the wedding. Their assistance staff was helpful.

I loved having Patty Jo alter my dress for me. She works out of her home and was completely thorough about finding every possible way to make my dress be a perfect fit. She has incredibly reasonable pricing, about half that of David's Bridal. She used to work for David's Bridal, so she is familiar with their system of alterations and is familiar with many of their dresses. She did such a perfect job, and was able to get the dress altered within just a couple of weeks. She also makes custom veils and slippers if you want to take your shoes off after the ceremony and have something more comfortable to wear.
