I know all these places except the Castle at Maryvale. I have been to
two wedding receptions at the Oaks Ballroom in Clarksville and can say
it was lovely and everything was done nicely.

The Blair Mansion Inn is certainly one of my favorites.

The Waverly Mansion has hosted several different kinds of events that I 
have been to and they all came off nicely.

The one dark spot in this list to me is Nixon's Farm. The attitude of 
the people that run it are about as racist as it gets.

Personally I am looking for a reason to go the Castle at Maryvale.
