On Franklin Road, driving west from Murfreesboro near the Rutherford and Williamson County line, lies a stone fence sporting the name Saddle Woods Farm. In the fields behind the gate, horses canter.

The creation of Jayne LeGate, a former teacher, she used her love of hospitality and horses to build a wedding and corporate event venue that has attracted a number of celebrities, and been captured in the pages of People, Bride, Southern Bride, Billboard, and even Rolling Stone magazines. She and her team recreated Coachella for Tyler Rich and Sabina Gadecki; built an elegant garden for a New Year’s Eve wedding for Erin Foster, daughter of musician, songwriter, producer and Broadway musical composer David Foster, and businessman Simon Tikhman; and actress Katie Stevens and music producer Paul DiGiovanni decided to have a fall wedding there.
