Smiley Hollow

We attended a wedding here yesterday. It was the most beautiful setting, not as fancy as Cheekwood for sure but beautifully rustic. The bride and groom came up the grass and were married in front of an old barn — it can be candle lit for evening. A violinist played softly and a donkey made a guest appearance to the side. We sat on rustic benches. Green all around and not a sound other than the countryside. After the nuptials we tramped down the hill to another barn for our feast, yep barbecued chicken with all the trimmings and pecan pie — house catering and totally appropriate. There was a bar and lots of benches and tables for easy mingling. Fairy lights lit the place up. An elevated top table for 12 with a huge dance floor behind it. Outside there was even an old mini golf course and lots of rustic farm implements. It was perfect. The floor in the barn was an earth finish so our shoes got pretty dusty so keep in mind your best heels are not entirely appropriate for here if you mind a bit of dirt. Service was very good and fairly invisible. I hear prices for the venue were very reasonable.
