The Rustic Elegance Event Center in Woodbury, Tennessee, has rapidly become a sought-after destination for events of all kinds, as featured in People Magazine and Yahoo! Entertainment. Owned by local couple Jodi and John Eaden, along with their business partner, the venue has undergone a remarkable transformation, with the couple investing hundreds of thousands of dollars over the past year to revamp the 26-acre property into the stunning location seen today at 1751 Doolittle Rd.

“It has been a true labor of love, but we had a vision once we saw this land and in the past few years it has really transformed,” said John Eaden, Co-Owner of Rustic Elegance Event Center.

In addition to constructing a new 1,800-square-foot barn for indoor weddings and events, they completely redesigned the outdoor wedding area and enhanced the landscape with a variety of trees, flowers, and other features. The property also includes a 3,200-square-foot main building, a 2,400-square-foot house, and breathtaking views, highlighted by a waterfall and cave.

“You would not have recognized this place just three years ago when we purchased the property,” said Jodi Eaden, Co-Owner of Rustic Elegance Event Center. “Because we’ve invested so much in both the interior and exterior, we’ve been able to serve a much larger variety of events for clientele who now comes from just across town to across the nation.”

Eaden shared that the center has hosted a wide range of events, from baby showers, bridal showers, and church functions to larger weddings, corporate events, portrait photography sessions, and even filming locations for TV and media productions.

“Being just an hour outside of Nashville has made the location much more attractive, as we offer this outdoorsy, rustic event space with views as far as the eye can see but after just a short drive you’re in the big city with popular restaurants, hotels, bars and all the major attractions that Nashville is so well-known for,” John added.
