Nashville, which is often known as both the "Athens of the South" and "Music City," is the perfect place for Southern destination weddings, as it has plenty of historic plantation wedding venues, beautiful parks, and numerous attractions and live concerts for you to enjoy.

Belle Meade Plantation, a consecutive winner in the Bride's Choice Awards and The Knot Best of Weddings, is one of Nashville's most popular venues, as it features beautiful flowering gardens, indoor ceremony sites at the mansion, and offers rain plan options, wedding coordination services, and on-site valet parking.

Another elegant and popular Nashville wedding venue is Riverwood Mansion, which features eight acres of lush gardens, wedding rentals available on-site, and an outdoor tented pavilion.

For wedding cakes, consider The Sweetest Day, another Bride's Choice Awards winner, which has over 18 years of experience making custom cakes in a variety of styles and flavors.

Since Nashville has so much for you to enjoy, consider taking a few extra days in the city to enjoy everything that it has to offer. To start, you can visit Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, The Johnny Cash Museum, and Travellers Rest Plantation & Museum. You can also see a show at one of its numerous music venues, such as Ryman Auditorium or Exit/In.
