Hello there! We're Jordan and Leslie Roepke, your friendly Nashville-based wedding photographers. We've been lucky enough to witness many "I do's", in some of the most beautiful venues our city has to offer. Today, we want to share with you our top five wedding venues in Nashville, TN. These aren't your run-of-the-mill chain hotels; they're venues with character, charm, and that extra special something. So whether you're planning an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, we've got a place for you.
First on our list is the Belle Meade Plantation. Steeped in history and southern charm, this venue offers a blend of elegance and tranquility. The best time to marry here is in the fall when the leaves change color, painting the plantation with hues of gold and crimson. The Carriage House, with its rustic charm, is perfect for a large wedding, while the intimate Garden House suits smaller ceremonies.
Next up is Cedarwood Weddings, a venue nestled amidst the rolling hills of the Tennessee countryside. It's a dream come true for couples dreaming of a rural, outdoor wedding. The beautiful landscapes and the historic farm estate offer endless photo opportunities. Spring and fall are the best times to get married here when the weather is at its most charming. The vast lawns and the cozy barn make it ideal for both large celebrations and intimate ceremonies.
The third venue on our list is Cheekwood Estate & Gardens, a place that exudes opulence and grandeur. With its sprawling gardens and stunning mansion, it's a venue out of a fairytale. The best time to get married here is during the summer when the gardens are in full bloom. Whether you prefer a large outdoor wedding amidst the flowers or an intimate ceremony in the mansion, Cheekwood caters to all.
Next, we have the Loveless Barn, a venue that perfectly captures the spirit of Music City. If you’re looking for a venue with a relaxed and fun vibe, this is it. The barn, with its high ceilings and rustic interior, is perfect for a country-themed wedding. The best time to get married here is in the spring when the weather is pleasantly mild. The barn can accommodate large weddings, but the adjacent Harpeth Room is great for smaller gatherings.
Lastly, we recommend The Cordelle. This historic Victorian home turned modern event space is a fusion of the old and the new. With its vintage charm and modern amenities, it's a unique venue for any wedding. The best time to marry here is in the fall when the surrounding foliage provides a stunning backdrop. The Great Hall is perfect for large weddings, while the Loft and the Victorian House are ideal for smaller, more intimate ceremonies.
These are just a few of the stunning venues Nashville has to offer. Each one has its own unique charm and ambiance, so there's something for every couple and every type of wedding. We're always here to help you capture your love story in the most authentic and unforgettable way, no matter where you choose to say your vows.
