Edgeway Goes Country Chic: A Wild Ride at the Wedding Filmmaker Workshop

When wedding filmmakers from across the globe gather for a week of inspiration, education, and community—you know it’s going to be something special. But when they want a real taste of Tennessee? That’s when Edgeway comes in swinging—axes and all.

Earlier this April, we had the absolute pleasure of bookending the unforgettable Wedding Filmmaker Workshop hosted by the phenomenal @emmak_films, with an epic southern-style welcome and a rootin’-tootin’ farewell celebration. With creatives flying in from across the world, it was our job to make sure they left with a true Tennessee memory stamped in their hearts—and we brought the firepower to do it.

Welcome to Tennessee—Now Throw an Axe

The week kicked off with an intimate Welcome Dinner on April 7th, nestled in the Smoky Mountain foothills. As the sun dipped low and the campfire crackled, guests were greeted with live tunes from @morgansmillmusic, farm-to-table cuisine from @familymealknoxchef, and a massage station courtesy of @tulabluevents.

But the real star? Edgeway’s Portable Axe Throwing setup. Not your average axe setup, this custom-built rig can roll anywhere—up hills, into tight courtyards, even up service elevators for indoor events. That night, it carved out the perfect balance of thrill and camaraderie as filmmakers took turns hurling axes, laughing, and bonding under the stars.

The Grand Finale: Boots, Bulls & a Whole Lotta Dancing

Just when attendees thought they’d soaked up all the southern charm Tennessee had to offer, the Farewell Dinner on April 9th came galloping in. This was no quiet send-off—it was a full-blown throwdown.

First up? Our high-energy line dancing troupe. Decked out in cowboy boots and bandanas, our dancers not only performed a crowd-pleasing routine, but got everyone up and two-stepping, grapevining, and boot-scootin’ together. From total beginners to surprise naturals, the dance floor was alive.

And then came the cherry on top: our mechanical bull. A few brave souls mounted up for the ride of their lives, while others cheered and filmed every glorious second. It was the perfect fusion of country fun and cinematic chaos.

A Community Fueled by Fun and Fellowship

It wasn’t just about the experiences we brought—it was about the people. The attendees, speakers, and vendors created an atmosphere of deep connection and wild creativity. From off-road Jeep tours with @smoky_mountains_jeep_tours, to educational sessions led by pros like @whiteinrevery and @filmsbymadeleine, this workshop was bursting with energy and heart.

We’re incredibly grateful to @emmak_films and @theweddingfilmmakerworkshop for inviting Edgeway to help bring their vision to life. Seeing the laughter, the dance moves, and the triumphant bull rides reminded us why we do what we do: to create unforgettable moments that bring people together.

From axe throwing in the woods to bull riding in ballrooms, Edgeway brings the fun, no matter where you are. If you’re planning an event—whether it’s a corporate retreat, a wedding workshop, or a neighborhood bash—let us take it to the next level.

Until next time, keep your axes sharp, your boots dusty, and your party vibes high.
