Nashville Wedding Location

The TLC show What Not to Wear did a pretend wedding at the Hermitage Hotel in Nashville to surprise a local florist with a make-over. I was called and asked to play the part of the minister, since the florist knew me, and it would help to pull off the ruse successfully.

When the show finally came on, I forgot to watch it. Fortunately, there is YouTube, and below is the first part of the show.

I only hoped they didn't make me look stupid. Considering the small part for me in it, I lucked out. Watch and enjoy.

Historic Rock Castle is located just to the north of Nashville in Hendersonville. I have officiated several weddings there now, including one recently. You can see a few pictures I took below. It was a beautiful day, slightly warm, but with a breeze blowing off the lake it actually very nice.

Weddings take place at different points around the main historic home which was the home of General Daniel Smith in the 1700’s. Some weddings take place right in front with the wedding party on the steps. Others have taken place on either side of the home, or behind it which is right next to the lake.

Just this Saturday I officiated my first wedding at Houston Station. If you haven’t heard of this place yet, you have now and will be hearing a lot more in the near future. I had the chance to speak to one of the partner owners after the wedding reception, and he was telling me of their expansion plans. In time, they plan on having a full-service event planning location.

That means for weddings, you could go to this one place and take care of catering, wedding planning and almost anything else you needed for your wedding. That could make it very convenient, a great time and money saver.

A couple of weeks ago I had my first ceremony at the Baber House in Gallatin, TN. It sits just off of Highway 31 on the south side of town, so it is also not very far north of Hendersonville.

This part of Nashville is very pretty. You have the rolling hills that are typical in middle Tennessee, and also you pass by the lake on the way north to the Baber House.
