As Nashville has become more popular,  I have worked with more and more couples who are treating Nashville as a destination for the entire wedding.

Brides choose a Nashville destination wedding for many reasons, although I'm sure having our own TV show hasn't hurt.  We have always been a pretty terrific place to live and visit, but the secret is getting out.  More people are visiting and getting married here all the time due to our central geographic location that is easy and convenient for your guests.   We have a great nightlife and more entertainment than you can count.
