Dating back from the Civil War, Two Rivers Mansion is one of the most historical places in Tennessee. It boasts of a 14 feet ceiling that makes anyone walk inside it with great awe. So much is the beauty of the place that not only tourists go gaga over it. Couples who are very much in love see this beautiful place as the most perfect venue for a union of love.

Love, as they say, is a many splendor thing. That’s why it is not a surprise that people getting married take the time to think of places where they would like to remember the momentous event that will link their hearts forever. When it comes to sentimentality, one of the most interesting places to get married in Tennessee is at Cannonsburg Village located just southeast of Nashville in Murfreesboro.

The Hermitage Hotel located in downtown Nashville is a 5-star hotel and location of many beautiful weddings. Before telling you more about the hotel, let me tell you about a recent "unusual" wedding I was part of there recently. Actually, it was a pretend wedding set up to spring a happy surprise on a local florist.

Have you heard of the show on TLC called What Not to Wear? Well, they came to Nashville to do one of their programs. And since this was local wedding florist, it was the perfect set up to get her in on a wedding which was really no wedding at all.

Carnton Plantation is popular wedding location for Nashville couples located outside of Franklin, Tennessee. I have officiated several weddings there and you can see here a picture of one under the 150 year old Osage orange tree to one side of the Carnton Mansion.

The tree is located next to an acre garden that guests can stroll through before or after the ceremony. The garden has some unusual and beautiful sculpted plants. I see that couples often have a large white tent set up nearby for the reception or a place for the ceremony in case of rain.

The mansion itself was built in 1826 and was home of the McGavock family. A special treat for your guests is that they are lead on tour (for add on fee) inside the home after the ceremony as the reception is being prepared. I found the Civil War era medical instruments displayed particularly interesting (and gruesome!).
