Set on a quiet country road in Dickson, less than an hour from Nashville, Firefly Lane is a private event venue offering two distinct onsite spaces: The Chapel and The Barn. Together they give planners the flexibility to design anything from an intimate gathering to a large-scale celebration, all on one property. The Chapel centers on 200-year-old arched windows and grand double doors. Its open-air design pairs vaulted ceilings, wooden pews, and romantic lighting with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. Nearby, an outdoor patio with lounge seating and lawn games extends the footprint for cocktail hours, receptions, or standalone gatherings. The Barn brings a rustic-elegant counterpoint, with warm wood tones, exposed beams, and open sightlines built for larger seated events or receptions that need more room to move. Between the two venues, we offer several distinct ceremony location options across the property, from the chapel's arched entry to open lawn and garden settings, so planners can select the backdrop that best fits their event concept. A glass reception hall completes the property with floor-to-ceiling windows, handcrafted farm tables, chandeliers, and firefly lights for an elevated indoor-outdoor experience. Firefly Lane hosts 50 to 200 guests and welcomes corporate functions, galas, milestone celebrations, nonprofit fundraisers, private parties, and weddings alike. Our team manages the logistics and details so planners can focus on the vision. Ready to see it in person? Book a tour and picture your next event at Firefly Lane.
