Best Wedding Venues for the Contemporary Nashville Bride

Tuesday, December 14, 2010

i know the importance of finding a great wedding venue.  It's crucial and sets the tone for your entire wedding.  So, I've asked around and created a list of Urban Wedding Venues in Nashville and Favorite Restaurants for Nashville Weddings.  Today, I'm happy to provide ideas for the contemporary bride.  Maybe you're modern but don't want to go completely urban/industrial.  At the same time, you aren't interested in a hotel wedding but like the chic feel that hotels like the W afford.  

I have some ideas just for you!  My list below is based on feedback from places Ive visited and insight from our wonderful bridal friends on Twitter and Facebook.  These venues are great if you are looking for a venue with many great bulit-in details, sophistication and personality.

Noah Liff Opera Center

Telephone: 615-832-5242 x3568

I have attend several events at Noah Liff Opera Center - from last year's Her Nashville Bridal Brunch to this year's Little Black Dress Revue.  Look at how great the event always looks!  It's definitely one of my faves.

W.O. Smith Music School

The W.O. Smith music school is a place where children from lower income families have the opportunity to learn music for only 50 cents per lesson.  The facility has been around since 1984, and now it has opened its doors to us all for our special events.  Its auditorium has an open floor plan and a platform stage for you to use to your preference.

One of two event facilities run by Gary Musick Productions, the multi-purpose space called Durego is located in Brentwood.  Free parking, a huge event space and an event staff that caters to the most luxe of tastes and styles, you'll be well taken care of should you decide you would like to have your wedding there.

Franklin is full of hidden gems for venues, one of which is The Red House. On the outside, it looks like a cozy house with a quaint garden perfect for outdoor ceremonies but once you enter, it's a clean, modern space which makes the entire venue just wonderful for a wedding.

I hope this list as well as the others we've done give you a better idea of the various types of venues you can have, and that it helps just knowing that there are plenty of locations in Nashville that will suit your needs.  We've got so many great resources at our disposal and we're glad that you're coming to us to find them all.  Hope we see lots of pictures of your weddings in these venues soon!
