A CURATED LIST OF THE BEST WEDDING VENUES IN AND NEAR NASHVILLE

Recently engaged or planning a proposal? Congratulations! If you are locals to Nashville or are planning a Destination Nashville Wedding, this curated list with a wedding photographer’s perspective is for you!

In this list you’ll find ideas for places to propose, have engagement photos, elope, celebrate an intimate ceremony and reception, or an epic party. I included some tips and insights you won’t find in any other lists.

As a Nashville wedding photographer, I have photographed many weddings over the years, and seen the Nashville wedding scene evolve from when we were a small college town —where the norm were classic southern charm weddings, to the vibrant wedding destination city it is today —where high end hotels, estates turned luxury wedding events, and innovative venues abound, serving every budget and style.

I hope you’ll find it useful to find the perfect venue for your special day.
