Save the Date - March 16: Sumner County Venue Crawl Offers Brides Convenience, Options
Wednesday, March 5, 2014
Finding the perfect venue for your wedding can be taxing, from traveling from one venue to the next to weighing all your options before making your final decision. At some point in the process, you’ll likely wonder if you’ve seen everything or overlooked any viable options.
That’s why the Sumner County Venue Crawl is so great! This new event affords busy brides ultimate convenience.
Duing this one-day event March 16, brides will have a chance to see more than a dozen venues and even more vendors all in one day.
This is perfect for the bride who is looking to see all this state has to offer, in addition to the traditional downtown Nashville spots. We spoke to Bo Jennings, Director of Sales for Chef’s Market Catering and a Sumner County venue manager.
Tell me about the Sumner County Venue Crawl. What can attendees expect?
It’s like a bridal show, but instead of a static location, we give brides the perks of going to see all the venues in Sumner County all at one event. It also gives venues a chance to show all they have to offer, which is sometimes difficult at a typical bridal show.
Each venue will have vendors present, and the venues and vendors will be running specials specifically for that day. Any bride that visits each venue will get a chance to take advantage of deals on catering, photography and more.
How will attendees travel from vendor to vendor?
Everyone will start at the Hyatt Place in Hendersonville (330 E. Main St.) to register. There, attendees will receive a map. People will be traveling on their own to venues because some might only want to visit rustic venues, indoor locations, etc. Besides, unlike other venue crawls, we want attendees to be able to spend as much time as they would like at each venue.
We will be doing a passport program where attendees will be able to mark all the locations they’ve visited. They will be entered into a drawing for a grand prize — something substantial toward their wedding day.
Which vendors will be present at the event?
Right now, we have 18 venues on board. With that, each venue is responsible for having its own vendors there. The vendors will represent a wide variety: from photographers to videographers to entertainment.
Why is an event like this important?
This event exposes people to all that’s up here. Sumner County has some of the greatest venues and scenery. A lot of brides initally want to be downtown, but this event is letting them know that there are other great options as well. And for those who have already picked their venue, it’s a fun way to find their vendors.
What time is the event and how much are tickets?
The event will be held on March 16 from noon-4 p.m. Cost for the event is $20 per ticket or $30 for two tickets, cash only. Update: We've just been given a special rate for ABG readers!! Just mention ABG at registration table and pay only $10 cash to enter the event.

For many women, their fascination with weddings fades after they say, “I do.” Not for me. Even though my wedding was two years ago, I still very much have a heart for weddings and helping brides focus on what’s important — building a day that reflects both the bride and the groom while focusing on the why of the wedding — the marriage. In addition to my job as a personal trainer and wellness coach, I also coordinate weddings part time, offering couples both perspective and a little elbow grease to make sure their wedding day is a success. I’m a huge advocate for life balance and I like to remind and encourage couples to keep their sanity — and a healthy relationship — in the midst of wedding planning.
