Advantages
In Nashville, you'll get to experience all four beautiful seasons. Winters and summers are very mild, with temperatures rarely dropping below freezing. Plan your wedding for any time of the year!
The Nashville International Airport is just a 20-minute drive from Downtown Nashville. Neither you nor any of your guests will have any trouble getting to your dream venue.
The food scene in Nashville is outstanding. No matter the theme of your wedding party, you'll find something to match it.
Disadvantages
If you plan an outdoor wedding, seasonal allergies can damper your celebrations. Avoid booking an outdoor venue for April, June, or September, which are peak allergy seasons, and go for an indoor venue instead.
Demand for wedding venues in Nashville can be high during the high season. Book your venue in advance or plan for the off-season to get the best deals on your dream venue.
Nashville is infamous for its traffic. Poor city planning, a severe lack of public transport, and low walkability mean you need a car to get around Nashville. Make sure your attendees are aware!

Planning a wedding party is no small accomplishment. If you decide to forego a professional wedding planner, here's how to get started in planning your wedding (or any kind of private event).
Set a Budget – Before diving into all the other important parts of planning a wedding, first and foremost is setting a budget. Set aside time with your partner and decide how much you can spend. Are you getting help from friends or relatives or using some of your savings? Answer all of these questions, and then you can move on to looking for venues.
Select the Theme and the Venue –The venue you choose for your wedding is the single most important decision you'll make when planning it. The right venue will set the tone for the evening and create some of your most treasured memories. Make sure the theme and the venue lift each other up.
Prepare the Food and Decorations – While it's true the venue is the cornerstone of any wedding, the food is often among the most memorable parts. Hire a professional caterer, or check if the venue offers catering and browse the menu.
Send Out the Invitations – When everything's ready, the final step is to send out the invitations. Make sure you give your attendees plenty of time to plan ahead! Before you know it, you'll be dressing up for your big day.
Planning a wedding is already hard—tracking all your expenses and making sure you are always within your budget is a tall challenge indeed. Here are some things you can do to get the most bang for your buck.
Consider a more select menu.
In the US, more than 30% of a wedding's budget goes solely to catering. When looking for catering options, get multiple quotes and ensure the venue allows BYO catering. If you have some experience, you can also try your hand at catering yourself, and instead of an open bar, offer an exclusive selection of drinks.
Do you have flexibility with the date?
The more flexibility you have with the date, the more you can save on your wedding. In Nashville, winters start in November—which also aligns with the start of the off-season—and last until late February. Plan your wedding for a weekday between November and February for maximum savings!
Cut back on unnecessary expenses.
Wedding planners and professional decorators can add a lot of value to your wedding, but they can also be quite expensive. If you think you need extra help, you can always consider hiring part-service planners and reusing old decorations or making your own.
On Giggster, you can find the most breathtaking Nashville wedding venue in minutes, from classical ballrooms and mansions to gardens and open spaces close to nature. No matter your budget, Giggster has the best options for everyone!
