Anastasia Iliou(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-10-2020 The Fontanel canceled my wedding and all others that were scheduled. They were not very sympathetic in the manner and were slow to respond to my request for reimbursement.Since they are not hosting weddings for the foreseeable future, I recommend that this venue be removed from The Knot.

Tara Quinn(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2017 I fell in love with the Inn at Fontanel when I found it online. The courtyard is gorgeous and so are the guest suites inside. We wanted the ceremony to be in a little shady alcove off to the side of the Inn and have the reception in the courtyard. Fontanel provides a day-of coordinator, which was very helpful and one of the more important things I was looking for. I didn't want my friends and family stuck with picking up everything at the end of the day. I worked with Vance, for the most part. He was very nice and helped me make decisions when I was indecisive. He gave me his personal number so I could always text him with questions or thoughts. Sometimes he was a little slow to respond, but it all got done! Fontanel also provides all linens, place settings, and flatware with your booking fee which was so nice to have it all in one place and not have to coordinate so many moving pieces. Vance is also a florist so we chose him to do our flowers as well. They turned out beautiful!Well! A hurricane decided otherwise on my plans for the inn, when it brought some serious rain up the weekend of our wedding. After some back and forth, we decided to just move the wedding up to the mansion to have it all be indoors, instead of a tent at the inn. Fontanel let us change locations at no charge, even though the mansion is a bigger fee than the inn. The team at the mansion was AMAZING. Everyone was so nice and tried to help creative my vision in this new location at the last minute. My guests loved the mansion and getting to walk around it during the cocktail hour. Overall, it was an amazing location and day! Reviewed on 27-11-2017
Lexi Johnson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-06-2017 Finding a venue is a huge thing to check off the list, but the Fontanel is so much more than a venue. Planning our wedding in Nashville, TN, from IL was so easy w/ the help of the team at the Fontanel. They took care of our food, dessert, flowers (truly, you need to work w/ Vance- he does wonders and can pin a boutonniere in the blink of an eye), putting up decorations, and all of the organization w/ vendors that can sometimes be stressful. Jade was an absolute rock star and I have had so much confidence in her ability to see our wedding through. At one point, only a couple of weeks out, our wedding grew from 150 people to around 170. Jade immediately took to problem-solving w/ me so that we could figure out how to accommodate all of our guests without making too many changes to the evening we had been planning. She continued to help me problem-solve up until the morning of the wedding, constantly making sure she was in the loop w/ our most recent updates/changes. Jade was always responsive and has a true gift for making you feel like the most important person in the room. The entire day was a wonderful experience- from the groomsmen enjoying playing \"Go Fish\" w/ our ring bearer at the Poker table in the ice cream parlor, to my bridesmaids and I feeling absolutely glamorous getting ready in Barbara Mandrell's old (and very mirrored) bedroom/bathroom. Everyone working that day helped make every part of the evening special; and Jade, Vance, and Steven kept the night running smoothly. The pictures we currently have are already beautiful, but the memories and fun that this team helped to produce that night is something truly special. I would recommend the Fontanel any day and now have relatives who are hoping to host more special events here! Reviewed on 07-07-2017
Sara Hardy(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-10-2016 I have no idea where to start! My husband, family and I can only say wonderful things about the Fontanel. The venue speaks for itself! But Jade and Mary are the icing on the cake. They're not only sweet and lovely to work with but are a force to be reckoned with. I was planning a destination wedding to Nashville from Florida and honestly had no stress at all! From the day we booked our wedding with the Fontanel to the days following our wedding Jade and Mary made it a breeze. We had so much fun and are so sad for it to be over. The food was great to boot! Words cannot describe how grateful we are to have spent our Wedding Day at the Fontanel. And if we were to do it all over again, we would do it at the Fontanel! Every single time.

Brianna Crowley(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-05-2013 Our first thoughts were wonderful, but then as soon as the contract was signed we felt like we were putting out fires left and right. Even four days before the wedding we were fixing things... like the fact that the landscaping was torn up because they \"didn't know\" there was a wedding there in a few days. Granted, it was fixed and it ended up looking pretty... but that doesnt change the stress we endured from one thing after the next over the year of planning. The food was amazing and I highly suggest the cafe onsite, but the overall people in charge of planning are not very organized. Sweet... but they made me cry and stressed me out.
