It’s no secret that Nashville is quickly rising in the ranks of destination cities in the U.S. Odds are that you’ve seen your fair share of Instagram photos of bachelorette party-goers enjoying the Honky-tonks of Broadway. However, Nashville is the perfect place for more than just a bach bash. Music City provides the ideal backdrop for you to officially tie the knot. PartySlate has curated this list of 21 Nashville wedding venues to help you find the best one for you and your partner.

Whether you come for the Southern home cooking, the lively music scene, or beautiful landscape, Nashville is the perfect destination for your wedding. We spoke to Ashley Hayden, Creative Director of Infinity Hospitality, to get insight on the best venues that Nashville has to offer.

Your wedding should be reflective of your own individual style. Luckily, Nashville is home to a wide variety of venues from classic countryside barns to contemporary art museums. You don’t even need to be a fan of country music to get the most out of Music City. As long as you and your partner are in the market for some good ol’ Southern hospitality, Nashville is sure to deliver.
