Nashville Wedding Location

Just met a young couple and about 20 family and friends for a quick, no frills wedding ceremony at Edwin Warner Park on Sunday. In the pavilion areas off of Vaughn road, there a nice area just past the number 5 pavilion (the first left after you pass the sign for pavilion 5) with a quaint looking gazebo.

You can't reserve this area but I would think most often the area would be open since there are no tables, seating or grills in the area. It's also right next to the creek, and there's even an area where you could get down right by the creek for a ceremony.

It might be just the thing for you if you are wanting to elope just as a couple or even with a few guests. It is getting a bit dark for this photo below:

I found on my computer a bunch of photos I've taken at weddings around town, so thought some readers might get some ideas from these:

Showed up at this home wedding in Mt Juliet last October and here's what met me in the front yard.

I did another Nashville zoo wedding the other day. I say another. The first one was about 10 years ago and has always been one of my more unusual Nashville weddings. After all, they did have an animal presentation before the wedding!

What I didn't even realize until this wedding is that there is a beautiful historic home at the zoo, and recently the zoo has begun to promote the site for weddings.

Looking to save some money on your wedding? Dumb question, I know. Just about everybody is, the problem is if you cut back too much and you land far from your dream wedding.

I've what I think many of you will find to be some good news. There is a top notch historical wedding location in Hendersonville that just started offering during the week elopement style packages. And these are more than basic elopements - you can have everything you would have with any wedding if you can married during the week.

This last Saturday I officiated a wedding at the Baber House in Hendersonville. If you'll recall, that's the day that a cold front blew in. The winds really started whipping in the early afternoon, and this wedding was at 2 pm.

Everything went fine, but it the wind was blowing so hard during the ceremony that the bride's veil was sticking straight out, and at one point was sticking right in the face of the groom. We all had to stop and laugh at that one. I'm sure it made for some great pictures that the couple will look back on and have good laugh.
